proudly 

introduces 

MicoFlame® Grande commercial water heaters / 
hydronic boilers. The MicoFlame® Grande boiler 
is a fan assisted boiler based on a push through 
design  which  offers  several  venting  options. 
These  gas-burning  appliances  are  thoughtfully 
designed  for  easy  operation  and  maintenance. 
We  are  confident  that  you  will  come  to 
appreciate the benefits of our product. 

 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 

The  installation  of  this  heater  must  conform  to 
the  requirements  of  the  authority  having 
jurisdiction  or,  in  the  absence  of  such 
requirements,  to  the  current  National  Fuel  Gas 
Code,  ANSI  Z223.1  or  current  CAN/CGA  B149 
Installation  Codes.  All  electrical  wiring  must  be 
done in accordance with the requirements of the 
authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of 
such  requirements,  with  the  National  Electrical 
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical 
Code Part I, CSA C22.1 Electrical Code. 

Vent  installations  must  be  in  accordance  with 
Part  7,  Venting  of  Equipment,  of  the  current 
National  Fuel  Gas  Code,  ANSI  Z223.1,  or 
Section  7,  Venting  Systems  and  Air  Supply  for 
Appliances,  of  the  current  CAN/CGA  B149, 
Installation  Codes  and  applicable  provisions  of 
the local building codes. 

When  required 

by 

the 

authority 

having 

jurisdiction,  the  installation  must  conform  to  the 
Standard  for  Controls  and  Safety  Devices  for 
Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME CSD-1. 

The qualified installer shall instruct the end user 
in  the  safe  and  correct  operation  of  this 
appliance  and  shall  ensure  that  the  heater  is  in 
safe working order prior to leaving the job site. 
 
WARRANTY: 

Factory  warranty  shall  apply  only  when  the 
boiler  is  installed  in  accordance  with  local 
plumbing  and  building  codes,  ordinances  and 
regulations,  the  printed  instructions  provided 
with it and good industry practices. 

Excessive  water  hardness  causing  a  lime  build-
up  in  the  copper  coils  or  tubes  is  not  a  fault  of 
the  boiler  and  is  not  covered  by  warranty. 
Consult the factory for recommendations for use 
in hard water areas. 

Excessive  pitting  and  erosion  on  the  inside  of 
the  copper  tube  may  be  caused  by  high  water 
velocity  or  the  use  of  an  undersized  boiler  for  a 

DHW  application  and  is  not  covered  by 
warranty. 

Using  or  storing  corrosive  chemicals  in  the 
vicinity  of  this  boiler  can  rapidly  attack  the 
copper tubes and voids warranty. 

The  primary  heat  exchanger  of  this  boiler  is 
intended  to  operate  under  non-condensing 
conditions. 

Inlet 

temperatures 

must 

be 

maintained  at  115

F  or  higher. Warranty  is  void 

if  the  primary  heat  exchanger  is  allowed  to 
operate in condensing mode. 

Damage  caused  by  freezing  or  dry  firing  voids 
warranty. 

This  boiler  is  not  to  be  used  for  temporary 
heating of buildings under construction. 

2. 

 LOCATION 

Install this appliance in a clean, dry location with 
adequate  air  supply  and  close  to  a  good  vent 
connection. 

Do  not locate this  appliance  in an area  where  it 
will be subject to freezing unless precautions are 
taken. 

The  appliance  is  approved  for  installation 
directly  on  combustible  flooring  and  should  be 
located  close  to  a  floor  drain  in  an  area  where 
leakage  from  the  appliance  or  connections  will 
not  result  in  damage  to  the  adjacent  area  or  to 
lower floors in the structure. 

If  necessary  a  suitable  drain  pan  must  be 
installed under the appliance. 

If the appliance is installed above the level of the 
building’s  radiation  system,  a  low  water  cutoff 
device  must  be  installed  in  the  appliance  outlet 
at  the  time  of  installation.  Some  local  codes 
require  the  installation  of  a  low  water  cutoff  on 
all systems. 

Locate the  appliance so  as to provide adequate 
clearance  for  inspection  and  service  all  around 
the unit. It is recommended that 24” be provided 
for the top and sides and 48” for the front. 

This  appliance  is  suitable  for  alcove  installation 
with  minimum  clearances  to  combustibles  as 
follows: 

Table 1 – Clearance to Combustibles 

TOP: 

12” 

SIDES:
