DAMAGE AND WILL VOID THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.
• INSTALL BOILER SO THAT THE GAS IGNITION SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE PROTECTED FROM WATER
(DRIPPING, SPRAYING, RAIN, ETC) DURING APPLIANCE OPERATION AND SERVICE (CIRCULATOR
REPLACEMENT, ETC).
• OPERATION OF THIS BOILER IN A SYSTEM CONTAINING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF
DISSOLVED OXYGEN CAN CAUSE SEVERE HEAT EXCHANGER CORROSION DAMAGE.
• USE ONLY ANTIFREEZE SPECIFICALLY PERMITTED ON PAGE 39 OF THIS MANUAL.
• MAKE SURE THAT THE WATER USED TO FILL THE SYSTEM MEETS THE REqUIREMENTS OUTLINED
IN THE  SECTION XI OF THIS MANUAL.
• NEVER USE PETROLEUM BASED CLEANING OR SEALING COMPOUNDS IN THE BOILER SYSTEM.
THESE PRODUCTS COULD DAMAGE ELASTOMER SEALS AND GASKETS IN THE SYSTEM AND COULD
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE.
• THIS BOILER IS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE IN SYSTEMS CONTAINING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF
MAKEUP WATER. REGULAR ADDITIONS OF MAKEUP WATER MAY CAUSE SEVERE HEAT EXCHANGER
DAMAGE.
• BEFORE CONNECTING BOILER, MAKE SURE THAT THE SYSTEM IS FREE OF SEDIMENT, FLUX AND
ANY RESIDUAL BOILER WATER ADDITIVES. FLUSH THE SYSTEM IF NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT
THESE CONTAMINATES ARE REMOVED.
• MAINTAIN THE PRESSURE IN THE BOILER AT A MINIMUM OF 12 PSI.
