If the Comfort Plus Hydronic is installed in an area where radiant heat coming from the system is undesired or
where room temperatures may reach 85
°
Fahrenheit or greater, it is strongly recommended to install a Static Heat
Recovery unit or Air Handler. Refer to page 2.01 for information on these options.
In addition to the physical space requirements, the weight of the Comfort Plus Hydronic must be taken into consid-
eration when selecting the installation surface. A level concrete floor is the best installation surface, but most well
supported surfaces are acceptable. If unsure of floor load capacity, consult a building contractor or architect.
Special requirements need to be considered if placing the system in a garage or other area
where combustible vapors may be present. Consult local, state, and national codes and regula-
tions to ensure proper installation. An 18" stand (Order Item #1301585) is available to elevate
the system.
INITIAL SET-UP
Step 1
Remove the Information Package from the outside of
the shipping box and unpackage the Comfort Plus
Hydronic heating system.
Step 2
Move the heating system into its installation location.
The Comfort Plus Hydronic is capable of fitting through
a 30" doorway (minimum) without disassembling. If it
is necessary to disassemble the system, refer to the
disassembly instructions (Page A.11) in this manual.
Step 3
Once in place, adjust the leveling legs on the bottom of
the system as necessary to prevent rocking. If not
placed properly the system may bend or twist during the
brick loading process, making element and brick core
temperature sensor installation difficult.
Step 4
Remove the painted front panel of the brick storage
cabinet by removing the sheet metal screws along the
top, bottom, and sides of the panel. Detach by pulling
the bottom of the panel forward and down.
Step 5
Locate the element wiring harnesses and brick core temperature sensor(s) behind the front panel and
disconnect them from their shipping position. Carefully position them to avoid damage during brick
loading.
Models 5130 and 5140 have two brick core temperature sensors.
Step 6
Remove the galvanized front panel and set it aside.
Step 7
Carefully lift the two insulation blankets, one at a time starting at the bottom, and drape them over the
top of the system.
Use face mask, gloves, and long sleeved garments when handling insulation materi-
als in compliance with generally accepted safety practices.
Step 8
Remove the front air channel by pulling out at the top.
Step 9
Remove the heating elements from inside the brick core cavity.
To ensure proper operation, read and
follow installation instructions carefully.
DO NOT install the Comfort Plus
Hydronic system on its shipping
pallet.
DO NOT extend the leveling legs
more than one inch.
DO use and follow generally
accepted safety practices when
handling insulation material.
DO have equipment installed by a
qualified technician in compliance
with all applicable codes and
regulations.
