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 from possible injury. Among the many considerations, you
are advised to 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. 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. The boiler is designed to burn seasoned cordwood and coal only. Do not burn garbage, household or yard
waste. This is illegal in most areas. Burning these materials can reduce the life of the boiler and will void your
warranty.
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. Check to be sure the ash pan is fully inserted. Leaving a small crack or opening can cause over-heating in the
firebox, boiling the water off and voiding your warranty.
7. Always use proper care when installing, operating and maintaining the boiler.
8. Always wear protective gloves and glasses and be aware that hanging and loose clothing can catch fire.
9. Do not modify the boiler.
10. Failure to heed these warning or any additional warnings on the boiler may result in an accident causing
personal injury and damage.
