For Safe operation
We recommend that you frequently:
- Check for debris which could obstruct the flow of
flue gases. The vent or chimney must not be blocked.
A blocked or partially blocked vent or chimney can
cause flue gases to leak into the structure. Flue gases
leaking into the house can cause injury or death.
Blocked or partially blocked chimneys must have the
blockage removed by a qualified heating contractor.
- Check the pressure gage for correct system (water)
pressure. Check for water on the floor from the
discharge pipe of the pressure relief valve or any other
pipe, pipe joint, valve or air vent.
- Check for moisture, water, or appearance of rust on
the flue gas pipes, their joints as well as vent dampers,
or side wall vent terminals (if so equipped).
- Ensure that nothing is obstructing the flow of
combustion and ventilation air and no chemicals,
garbage, gasoline, combustible materials, flammable
vapors and liquids are stored (not even temporarily)
in the vicinity of the boiler.
- DO NOT allow unsupervised children near the boiler.
Service/inspection of the boiler and the system must be
performed on a regular basis. Maintenance, service and
cleaning are specified in these instructions
Before the heating season begins, it is recommended that
the boiler be serviced by a qualified heating contractor.
