Keep the vent cap clear of snow, ice, leaves, and debris to
avoid blocking the flue.

ƽ CAUTION: Units which are shut down or
will not operate may experience freezing due to
convective air flow in the flue pipe, through the
air inlet, or from negative pressure in the
mechanical room. In cold climates, operate pump
continuously to help prevent freezing of boiler
water. Provide proper freeze protection. See
Freeze Protection, page 7.
