GENERAL
1.2 Safety Instructions
Observe these instructions for your safety.
The burner and control must be correctly installed and adjusted to
ensure safe and economical operation of the gas boiler.
Read this installation and maintenance manual carefully and note
the details on the boiler nameplate before placing the boiler in
operation.
Risk of fatal injury from explosion of flammable gases
If you smell gas there is a danger of explosion.
• Never work on gas lines unless you are licensed contractor / gas
fitter.
• Make sure that a licensed contractor / gas fitter installs the boiler,
connects gas and vent, places the boiler in operation, connects
the electrical power, and maintains and repairs the boiler.
• No open flame! No smoking! Do not use lighters.
• Prevent spark formation. Do not operate electrical switches,
including telephones, plugs or door bells.
• Close main gas valve.
• Open doors and windows.
• Warn other occupants of the building, but do not use door bells.
• Call gas company from outside the building.
• If gas can be heard escaping, leave the building immediately,
prevent other people from entering, notify police and fire
departments from outside the building
Risk to life from electrical shock.
• Disconnect the power supply to the boiler heating system
before conducting any work on it, e.g. turn off the heating
system emergency switch outside the boiler room.
• It is not sufficient just to turn off the control.
• Do not carry out electrical work unless you are qualified for this
type of work.
• Before servicing, disconnect electrical power and lock out to
prevent accidental reconnection.
• Observe and follow the local, state and federal installation
regulations.
Risk of fatal injury from flue gas poisoning
Insufficient ventilation or combustion air availability may cause
dangerous flue gas leaks and accumulation.
• Make sure that inlets and outlets are not reduced in size,
restricted, or blocked.
• If faults are not corrected immediately, the boiler must not be
operated until all faults have been corrected.
• Inform the system operator and/or owner of the fault and the
danger in writing.
When working on the flue gas venting equipment or vent damper,
leakage of flue gases may endanger the lives of people.
• Carefully observe proper operation of the vent damper. Do not
start up the boiler unless the vent damper is operating properly.
• Use only genuine OEM parts when replacing parts.
• When replacing the vent damper, install the new one in the
specified position.
Risk to life by poisoning by leakage of flue gases
• If the blocked vent switch trips frequently, the fault must be
corrected and proper operation of the blocked vent switch test
must be conducted.
Risk to life by poisoning by leakage of flue gases
• Make sure that the boiler is not equipped with a thermally
controlled flue gas vent damper after the open draft hood.
Risk of fatal injury from neglecting your own safety in case of
emergency, such as with a fire
• Never put yourself at risk. Your own safety must always take
priority.
Fire danger due to flammable materials or liquids
