For Your Safety

H Important to know
Do not use this boiler if any part has been under or
exposed to water.
Immediately call a qualified heating contractor to inspect
the boiler and to replace any part of the control system
and any gas control which has been under or exposed to
water.
H Carbon monoxide
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission strongly
recommends the installation of carbon monoxide
detectors in buildings in which gas-burning equipment
is installed.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas, which
may be produced during incomplete combustion of fuel
and/or when the flame does not receive an adequate
supply of combustion air.
Carbon monoxide can cause severe personal injury or loss
of life.
Therefore, carbon monoxide detectors that are in
compliance with a nationally recognized standard (e.g.
ANSI/UL 2034-2002, CSA 6.19-01) should be installed
and maintained in buildings that contain gas-burning
equipment.
Note: Viessmann does not test any detectors and makes
no representation regarding any brand or type of
detector.
Frozen water pipe hazard
WARNING
Failure to protect against frozen pipes could result in
burst water pipes, serious property damage and/or
personal injury. Boiler may shut down.
Do not leave your home unattended for long periods
of time during freezing weather conditions without
turning off the water supply and draining water pipes
or otherwise protecting against the risk of frozen
pipes.
Your heating boiler is designed to provide a warm and
comfortable living environment. It is NOT designed to
ensure against freezing of water pipes.
The boiler is equipped with several safety devices that
are designed to shut down the boiler and to prevent it
from restarting in the event of various unsafe conditions.
If your boiler remains off for an extended period of time
during cold weather, water pipes may freeze and burst,
resulting in extensive water damage and conditions in
which mold could grow. Certain molds are known to
cause respiratory problems, as well as to pose other
serious health risks. In case of water damage, immediate
measures should be taken to dry out affected areas as
quickly as possible to prevent mold from developing.
If your home will be unattended for an extended period
of time during cold weather, you should...
H Shut off the water supply to the building, drain the
water pipes and add an antifreeze for potable water
to drain traps and toilet tanks. Open faucets where
appropriate.
Or..
H Have someone check the building frequently during cold
weather and call a qualified service agency if required.
Or...
H Install a reliable remote temperature sensor that will
notify somebody of freezing conditions within the
home.
