Maintenance
Boiler must
be serviced and
maintained
Check boiler area
To prevent potential of se-
vere personal injury, death or
substantial property damage,
eliminate all materials dis-
cussed below from the boiler
vicinity. If contaminants are
found:
Remove products immediately
from the area. If they have been
there for an extended period,
call a qualified service techni-
cian to inspect the boiler and
vent system for possible dam-
age from acid corrosion.
If products cannot be removed,
immediately call a qualified
service technician to address
the problem.
1. Combustible/flammable materials — Do
not store combustible materials, gasoline
or any other flammable vapors or liquids
near the boiler. Remove immediately if
found.
2. Air contaminants — Products containing
chlorine or fluorine, if allowed to con-
taminate the boiler intake air, will cause
acidic condensate in the vent and boiler.
This will cause significant damage to the
vent and/or boiler if allowed to continue.
3. Read the list of potential materials listed
on page 4 of this manual. If any of these
products are in the room from which
the boiler takes its combustion air, they
must be removed immediately or the
boiler combustion air must be supplied
from outside.
4. See WARNING above.
Check air openings
1. Verify that combustion and ventilation
air openings to the boiler room and/or
building are open and unobstructed.
2. Verify that boiler vent discharge and air
intake are clean and free of obstructions.
Remove any debris on the air intake or
flue exhaust openings.
Check boiler pressure/
temperature gauge
1. Make sure the pressure reading on the
boiler pressure/temperature gauge does
not exceed 24 psig. Higher pressure may
indicate a problem with the expansion
tank.
2. Contact a qualified service technician if
problem persists.
Verify that boiler jacket
door is securely closed
1. Visually inspect boiler jacket door to be
sure it is sealed all around its perimeter.
Verify that the two door screws are tight.
The boiler jacket door must be
securely fastened to the boiler
to prevent boiler from drawing
air from inside the boiler room.
Screws should be hand tight.
This is particularly important if
the boiler is located in the same
room as other appliances.
Failure to keep the door se-
curely fastened could result in
severe personal injury or death.
Contact your installer or tech-
nician immediately if the front
door does not close correctly or
if the door gaskets are damaged.

ing season, only by a qualified service technician. In addition, the maintenance
