REMOVE ALL SULFUR AND ASH DEPOSITS ANNUALLY CAN CAUSE SEVERE CORROSION
DAMAGE.
• WHEN CLEANING THE REAR FLUE PASSAGE, BE CAREFUL NOT TO PUSH THE BRUSH TOO
FAR BEYOND THE BOTTOM OF THE PINS. DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE TARGET WALL.

TANKLESS HEATER MAINTENANCE
• During the warm months, make sure that the water level in the boiler is 23-1/2 to 25 inches above the floor. Failure to do
this may result in inadequate hot water and/or steaming when there is no call for heat.
• Maintain the mixing valve in accordance with the valve manufacturer’s instructions.
