LAARS Heating Systems NeoTherms are covered by a

limited warranty. The owner should complete the warranty

registration at www.Laars.com.
All warranty claims must be made to an authorized

LAARS Heating Systems representative. Claims must

include the serial number and model (this information

can be found on the rating plate), installation date, and

name of the installer. Shipping costs are not included in

the warranty coverage.

This manual provides information necessary for the
installation, operation, and maintenance of LAARS

Heating Systems NeoTherm boilers and water heaters.

Read it carefully before starting the installation.

All application and installation procedures should

be reviewed completely before proceeding with the

installation. Consult the LAARS Heating Systems

factory, or local factory representative, with any

problems or questions regarding this equipment.

Experience has shown that most operating problems

are caused by improper installation.
NeoTherm is protected against over pressurization. A

pressure relief valve is included with each NeoTherm.

Some NeoTherms may require that the PRV be

installed prior to filling the system. Refer to Figures 2-9

for PRV locations.

Consult the

Rating Plate

on the side of the unit. The
