WARNING
The boiler must be connected to an approved
chimney in good condition. Serious property
damage could result if the boiler is connected
to a dirty or inadequate chimney. The interior of
the chimney flue must be inspected and cleaned
before the start of the heating season for any
obstructions. A clean and unobstructed chimney
flue is necessary to allow noxious fumes that
could cause injury or loss of life to vent safely
and will contribute toward maintaining the
boiler's efficiency.
