WARNING

If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing

property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids or other combustible materials in

the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

If you smell gas:

Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

Immediately call your gas supplier from a nearby phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department. Installation and service must

be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

Water quality

Warning

Water quality has a significant impact on the lifetime and performance of a boiler's heat

exchanger.

Improperly prepared water in a heating circuit may cause damage to the heat exchanger

through fouling or corrosion. Repeated or uncontrolled water fills will increase the potential for

damage.

High levels of dissolved solids or minerals may precipitate out of the fluid onto the hottest part

of the heat exchanger, impairing heat transfer and resulting in overheating and premature

failure. The amount of solids that may form on the heat exchanger will depend on the degree of

hardness and the total water volume in the system. A high water volume system with a low

hardness count may cause as much damage as a system with less volume and higher

hardness, so it is recommended to treat water so as to remove all dissolved solids. Other water

chemistry allowable limits are as follows:

Acidity pH is to be between 6.6 and 8.5

Chloride is to be less than 125 mg/l

Iron is to be less than 0.3 mg/l

Cu less than 0.1 mg/l

Conductivity is to be less than 400μS/cm (at 77°F [25°C])

7 grains/ gal (120 ppm)

Important: Ensure that these limits are acceptable for the other water-side components in the

system.

Danger

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any

other appliance. If you smell gas vapors, do not try to operate any appliance - do not touch

any electrical switch or use any phone in the building. Immediately, call the gas supplier from

a phone located remotely. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions, or if the supplier is

unavailable, contact the fire department.

Warning

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property

damage, personal injury, or loss of life. Read and understand the entire manual before

attempting installation, start-up, operation, or service. Installation and service must be

performed only by an experienced, skilled installer or service agency.

Failure to follow all instructions in the proper order can cause personal injury or death. Read

all instructions, including all those contained in component manufacturers’ manuals before

installing, starting up, operating, maintaining, or servicing the appliance.

Warning

Disconnect power supply before any wiring/service is performed. Failure to do so could

result in damage to appliance and/or electric shock.

Caution

The boiler must be installed so that electrical components are not exposed to water during

operation.
