1. Familiarizing yourself to
FT
THE
The FT is a floor standing, condensing and
fully modulating, residential boiler and
water heater.
This Users Manual will guide you into the basics
of operating your FT floorstanding boiler.
Please reference the Installation and Operation
Manual for complete details (Doc 1505).
2. Caring For Your FT
Your FT will require very little maintenance.
However, as with any fine appliance, there are certain
steps that should be taken to ensure continuing
optimum performance.
2.1 General Care
Keep the area around the FT clean and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
liquids and vapors.
The FT must be completely isolated and protected
from any source of corrosive chemical fumes such as
trichlorethylene, perchlorethylene, chlorine, etc.
Keep openings on the boiler free for proper
ventilation of interior components.
Do not obstruct or block a free flow of air to the
boiler to ensure proper ventilation.
If desired, clean the jacket surfaces with a
damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use flammable
cleaning materials.
If sidewall vented, keep the vent terminal clear
of obstructions — do not allow snow to cover the vent
terminal. Clean the intake screen often, and then
develop an appropriate maintenance schedule.

2.2 Annual Inspection of Flue and Vents
Visually inspect the vent pipe once a year. Should
any deterioration exist, have the affected parts replaced
by a qualified service person.
2.3 In the Event of a Power Failure
The FT can not be operated during an electrical
power outage. If there is an extended power outage with
danger from freezing, then the FT (and all other water
systems) should be drained completely. When draining
this combi boiler, turn off main electrical disconnect
switch. When placing back in service, refer to Section 3
of this Manual for instruction. All draining and filling must
only be done by a qualified service person.
2.4 Full Service Every Year
In addition to the annual visual inspections, a
qualified service agency should conduct a detailed
inspection of all flue product carrying areas of the boiler
and its venting system.
