In any case where instructions in this manual
differ from local or national codes, the local or
national codes take precedence.
2.2 CORROSIVE ATMOSPHERE

Inspect the electric boiler for possible shipping
damage. The manufacturer’s responsibility
ceases upon delivery of goods to the carrier in
good condition. Consignee must file any claims
