PART 8. MAINTENANCE
All high efficiency condensing
appliances will require more regular
maintenance (cleaning) than their
non-condensing counterparts. Failure
to do so may result in damage to the
appliance that is not covered under
warranty. Failure to follow all of the
instructions contained in this manual
may also cause premature product
failure that may not be covered
under warranty.
Periodic maintenance should be
performed at least once a year by a
qualified service technician to ensure
that all the equipment is in safe,
efficient operation.
Failure to do so
may eliminate warranty coverage
.
In the first year of operation, it is
highly recommended that inspections
of all connection points and the
combustion chamber be done at
three month intervals, any signs of
fouling or leaks must be thoroughly
investigated immediately as
failure to do so may void warranty.
Assuming no cause for excessive
fouling is found, then the period
of months from initial start up that
it was found that cleaning was
required, shall become the required
future minimum cleaning interval,
but at no time should it exceed 12
months. The owner MUST make
necessary arrangements with a
qualified heating contractor for
proper maintenance of the heater.
Installer must also inform the owner
that the lack of proper care and
maintenance of the heater may
result in a hazardous condition
and lack of warranty coverage. The
installer should discuss the contents
of the User’s Information Manual
with the owner.
