E. Safety Precautions
Do not operate this equipment for anything other than its intended purpose or for anything other than in
accordance with the instructions contained in this manual and all other instructions accompanying the boiler. It is
important to observe safety precautions to protect yourself and others from possible injury. Observe all safety stickers
on the boiler.
A qualified electrician must wire this boiler in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
1. Never use any type of petroleum based product, charcoal starter, lighter fluid, lantern fuel,
kerosene or any other flammable accelerant to start the fire in the firebox of your boiler. Keep all
such liquids well away from firebox.
2. If using antifreeze, use only non-toxic, follow manufacturer’s recommendations on mixing ratio
and test annually per manufacturer’s specs. Keep containers of antifreeze, which is flammable,
well away from the boiler.
3. The use of treated wood (painted, treated, etc.) and any other salvaged material that can emit
toxic gases into the environment and is corrosive towards the components of the appliance is
not allowed and voids your warranty.
4. DANGER! Risk of fire or explosion - Do not burn garbage, gasoline, naphtha, engine or drain oil,
other flammable liquids or inappropriate materials, household or yard waste as burning these
materials can reduce the life of the boiler, will void your warranty and is illegal in most areas.
5. When opening the fire box door, pause momentarily between the first latch and the safety latch
to allow any combustion gases to burn off. Always close the firebox door securely.
6. In the event of a runaway fire, make sure all doors are tightly shut, unplug the control power,
make sure the blower cover is seated and keep the water jacket full.
7. WARNING! Risk of fire – Do not operate with flue draft exceeding 0.1000” W.C. Drill a hole in
the chimney near the exhaust exit for a place to measure and contact an HVAC professional for
this if needed. Do not operate with fuel loading door or refractory channel door open. Do not
store fuel or other combustible material within the marked installation clearances. Leaving a
small crack or opening can cause over-heating in the firebox, boiling the water off, damage of
the unit and voiding the warranty. Inspect and clean chimney regularly.
8. CAUTION! Hot surfaces. Keep children away. Do not touch during operation. Always use proper
care when installing, operating and maintaining the boiler.
9. Always wear protective gloves and glasses and be aware that hanging and loose clothing can
catch fire.
10. Do not modify the boiler. Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance.
11. Failure to heed these warning or any additional warnings on the boiler may result in an accident
causing personal injury and damage and void the warranty.

Disposal of Ashes:
Caution! Doors, covers & ashes are hot! Turn blower off before opening doors!
Wear safety glasses
and use heavy gloves. Remove ashes from firebox frequently. Open refractory door and pull cover
to remove ashes. Inspect monthly and clean catalytic converter (USE CARE!) and heat exchanger
tubes as needed by removing rear cover in control area. See maintenance section. The ashes and
nothing else should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container
should be placed on the ground or a non-combustible floor well away from all combustible materials.
Once cool, the ashes may be disposed of.
All installation and operation must follow Federal, Provincial, State and Local Codes
