1.D  Safety Notes

 

WARNING

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

Improper adjustment of the burners may lead to poor 
combustion quality, increasing the amount of carbon 
monoxide produced. Excessive carbon monoxide 
levels may lead to personal injury or death.

 

WARNING

This unit must be installed in accordance with the 
procedures detailed in this manual, or the manufacturers 
warranty will be voided. The installation must conform 
to the requirements of the local jurisdiction having 
authority, and, in the United States, to the latest edition 
of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54. 
In Canada, the installation must conform to the latest 
edition of  CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Gas 
Installation Code, and/or local codes. Where required 
by the authority having jurisdiction, the installation of 
these units must conform to the Standard for Controls 
and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, 

ANSI/ASME CSD-1. Any modifi cations to the boiler, its 

gas controls, or wiring may void the warranty. If fi eld 

conditions require modifi cations, consult the factory 

representative before initiating such modifi cations.

 

WARNING

•   Water temperature over 125°F (52°C) can cause 

severe burns instantly or death from scalds.

•   Children, disabled and 

elderly are at highest 
risk of being scalded.

•   See instruction manual

before setting temperature
at the unit.

•   Feel water before bathing

or showering.

•   If this unit is used

to produce water that could scald if too hot, such 
as domestic hot water use, adjust the outlet control 
(limit) or use temperature limiting valves to obtain a 
maximum water temperature of 125°F (52°C).

 

WARNING

The inlet gas pressure to the unit must not 

exceed 13” W.C. (3.2kPa).

 

WARNING

Fire or Explosion Hazard

Improper confi guration can cause fuel buildup and 

explosion. Improper user operation may result in 
property loss, severe physical injury, or death.

Any changes to safety-related confi guration 

parameters must only be done by experienced and/or 
licensed burner/boiler operators and mechanics.

If any odor of gas is detected, or if the gas burner does 
not appear to be functioning in a normal manner, close 

the main gas shutoff  valve.  Do not shut off  the power 

switch. Contact your heating contractor, gas company, 
or factory representative.

NOTE: This unit is protected against hydronic 
over-pressurization.  A pressure relief valve is included 
with each unit. 

 

WARNING

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not 
avoided, can or will result in death or serious injury and can 
or will result in catastrophic property damage. 

 CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
