GENERAL PRODUCT
INFORMATION

Special Instructions

This manual supplies information for the installation, operation
and servicing of the appliance. Read and understand this manual
completely before installing unit.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified service
installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

Unpacking

Upon receiving equipment, check for signs of shipping
damage. Pay particular attention to parts accompanying the
boiler which may show signs of being hit or otherwise being
mishandled. Verify total number of pieces shown on packing
slip with those actually received. In case there is damage or a
shortage, immediately notify the carrier.

Codes

The equipment shall be installed in accordance with those
installation regulations in force in the local area where the
installation is to be made. These shall be carefully followed in
all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction shall be consulted
before installations are made. In the absence of such
requirements, the installation shall conform to the latest edition
of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and/or
CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Code. Where required by the
authority having jurisdiction, the installation must conform to
American Society of Mechanical Engineers Safety Code for
Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers,
ASME CSD-1. All boilers conform to the latest edition of the
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV.
Note: The ceramic fiber material used in this appliance is an
irritant; when handling or replacing the ceramic materials it is
advisable that the installer follow these safety guides.
REMOVAL OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER LINING OR
BASE PANELS:
• Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin and eyes.
• Use NIOSH certified dust respirator (N95)
(http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/hompage.html).
• Lightly mist with water (only those areas being handled) the
combustion chamber lining or base insulation to prevent
airborne fibers.
• Remove combustion chamber lining or base insulation from
the boiler and place it in a plastic bag for disposal.
Installation and
Service Manual
• Wash potentially contaminated clothes separately from other
clothing. Rinse clothes thoroughly.
• NIOSH stated First Aid:
Eye: Irrigate immediately.
Breathing: Fresh air.
WARNING:
lining in this appliance contains ceramic fiber
materials. Ceramic fibers can transform into
cristobalite (crystalline silica) when exposed to
temperatures above 2192°F (1200°C) dependent
upon the length of exposure time.*
The International Agency for Research on Cancer
(I.A.R.C.) has concluded, "Crystalline silica
inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from
occupational sources
humans."**
Testing has confirmed that the ceramic fibers in
this application do not reach 2192°F (1200°C).

Warranty

Factory warranty (shipped with unit) does not apply to units
installed or operated improperly.
Improper installation or system design causes most operating
problems.
1. Excessive water hardness causing a lime build up in the
copper tube is not the fault of the equipment and is not
covered under the appliance manufacturer's warranty (see
page 40 and
2. Excessive pitting and erosion on the inside of the copper
tube may be caused by too much water velocity through
the tubes and is not covered by the appliance
manufacturer's warranty (see
on page 37 for flow requirements).
3
The combustion chamber
is carcinogenic to
page 52.)
