If this boiler may be frozen, immediately shut off power to the appliance and contact the factory for further
DANGER
instructions. Operation when the pressure vessel, internal pipes, or pressure relief valves are frozen, will result
in internal pressure build-up and a deadly steam explosion. Neither the Freeze Protection feature of the boiler
control module, nor the use of glycol eliminates the possibility of freezing.
⚠

Check all piping for leaks
⚠
Eliminate all system or boiler leaks.
WARNING
Continual fresh makeup water will reduce
boiler life. Minerals can build up in sections,
reducing heat transfer, overheating pressure
vessel, and causing pressure vessel failure.
Leaking water may also cause severe property
damage and risk of electrocution.
1. Inspect all water piping and verify to be leak free.
2. Look for signs of leaking lines and correct any problems
found.
