WARNING
All boiler cleaning must be completed with burner service switch turned off.
WARNING
The boiler must be connected to an approved
chimney in good condition. Serious property
damage could result if the boiler is connected
to a dirty or inadequate chimney. The interior of
the chimney ue must be inspected and cleaned
before the start of the heating season and
should be inspected periodically throughout the
heating season for any obstructions. A clean and
unobstructed chimney ue is necessary to allow
noxious fumes that could cause injury or loss
of life to vent safely and will contribute toward
maintaining the boiler's efciency.
