WARNING
This appliance is certified as an indoor appliance. Do
not install the appliance outdoors or locate where the
appliance will be exposed to freezing temperatures or
to temperatures that exceed 100°F (37.8°C).
Do not install the appliance where the relative humidity
may exceed 93%. Do not install the appliance where
condensation may form on the inside or outside of
the appliance, or where condensation may fall onto
the appliance.
Failure to install the appliance indoors could result in
severe personal injury, death, or substantial property
damage.

Determine boiler location
The Crest gas manifold and
controls met safe lighting and other
performance criteria when the boiler
underwent tests specified in ANSI
Z21.13/CSA 4.9 – latest edition.
Before locating the boiler, check:
1. Check for nearby connection to:
• System water piping
• Venting connections
• Gas supply piping
• Electrical power
2. Locate the appliance so that if water connections
should leak, water damage will not occur. When
such locations cannot be avoided, it is
recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately
drained, be installed under the appliance. The
pan must not restrict combustion air flow. Under no
circumstances is the manufacturer to be held
responsible for water damage in connection with
this appliance, or any of its components.
3. Check area around the boiler. Remove any
combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable
liquids.
This appliance requires a special venting system.
Use only the vent materials specified in this manual.
Failure to follow all instructions can result in flue gas
spillage and carbon monoxide emissions, causing
severe personal injury or death.
NOTICE
WARNING
Failure to keep boiler area clear
and free of combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable
liquids and vapors can result in
severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.
4. The Crest must be installed so that gas control
system components are protected from dripping or
spraying water or rain during operation or service.
5. If a new boiler will replace an existing boiler, check
for and correct system problems, such as:
• System leaks causing oxygen corrosion or heat
exchanger cracks from hard water deposits.
• Incorrectly-sized expansion tank.
• Lack of freeze protection in boiler water causing
system and boiler to freeze and leak.
6. The appliance must be installed on a level floor,
both front to back and side to side, for proper
condensate
drainage.
7. If the optional neutralizing kit is to be used, elevate
the boiler at least 3" above the floor.

8.
Check around the boiler for any potential air contaminants
that could risk corrosion to the boiler or the boiler combustion
air supply (see Table 1A on page 9). Prevent combustion air
contamination. Remove any of these contaminants from the boiler
area.
DO NOT install units in rooms or environments that
contain corrosive contaminants (see Table 1A on page
9). Failure to comply could result in severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage.
