Warranty –

Factory warranty (shipped with unit) does not apply to units
improperly installed or improperly operated.
Experience has shown that improper installation or system
design, rather than faulty equipment, is the cause of most
operating problems.
1. Excessive water hardness causing a lime/scale build-up in
the copper tube is not the fault of the equipment and is
not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty (see
Water Treatment and Water Chemistry).
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 manufacturer’s
warranty (see Boiler Flow Rates and Temperature Rise for
flow requirements).
Checking equipment –
Upon receiving equipment, check for signs of shipping damage.
Pay particular attention to parts accompanying the appliances
which may show signs of being hit or otherwise being
mishandled. Verify total number of pieces shown on the
packing slip with those actually received. In case there is damage
or a shortage, immediately notify the carrier.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
The possible damage to a flooded appliance can be extensive
and present numerous safety hazards. Any appliance that has
