Maintenance — read this page first
This product contains fiberglass jacket insulation and ceramic fiber materials in combustion
chamber lining or base panels in gas fired products. Airborne fibers from these materials have
been listed by the State of California as a possible cause of cancer through inhalation. The
combustion chamber lining or base insulation panels in this product contain ceramic fiber
materials. Ceramic fibers can be converted to cristobalite in very high temperature applications.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded, "Crystalline silica
inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans
(Group 1).":
Suppliers of fiberglass wool products recommend the following precautions be taken when
handling these materials:
Precautionary measures
•
Avoid breathing fiberglass dust and contact with skin or eyes.
•
Use NIOSH certified dust respirator (N95). This type of respirator is based on the OSHA
requirements for fiberglass wool at the time this document was written. Other types of
respirators may be needed depending on the job site conditions. Current NIOSH
recommendations can be found on the NIOSH web site at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/
homepage.html. NIOSH approved respirators, manufacturers, and phone numbers are
also listed on this web site.
•
Wear long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing, gloves, and eye protection.
•
Apply enough water to the combustion chamber lining or base insulation to prevent airborne
dust.
•
Remove combustion chamber lining or base insulation from the boiler and place it in a plastic
bag for disposal.
•
Operations such as sawing, blowing, tear out and spraying may generate airborne fiber
concentration requiring additional protection. bag for disposal.
•
Wash potentially contaminated clothes separately from other clothing. Rinse clothes washer
thoroughly.
NIOSH stated First Aid.
•
Eye: Irrigate immediately
•
Breathing: Fresh air.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper
and dangerous operation.
To avoid personal injury, death or property damage, keep boiler area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not block flow of air to boiler. Incomplete combustion, flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide
emissions can cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
To avoid severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage — before servicing:
1. Disconnect electrical supply.
2. Shut off gas supply.
3. Allow boiler to cool.
Have your boiler inspected, cleaned and, if necessary, adjusted once a year by a qualified service
agency.
Also refer to additional instructions shipped with boiler for specific control operation and
troubleshooting.
Verify proper operation after servicing. Failure to do so could result in boiler failure, causing
severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
