 As an ENERGY STAR

®

 Partner, Burnham by U.S. Boiler Company has determined that the Alpine™ Series meets the 

ENERGY STAR

®

 guidelines for energy efficiency established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

WaRning:

 Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, 

injury, or loss of life. For assistance or additional information, consult a qualified installer, service agency  or  the 

gas supplier. This boiler requires a special venting system. Read these instructions carefully before installing.
