SAFETY
ALL STATE or LOCAL CODES take precedence and MUST be observed.
These models have been certified compliant to UL 391-06 through independent testing. Additionally, some of
these recommendations align with the National Fire Protection Assign. Code 211. Before installing or starting
operation, read and familiarize yourself with all instructions. Installation is to be performed only by qualified
licensed heating professional.
RISK OF EXPLOSION OR PERSONAL INJURY
DO NOT
use chemicals, kerosene or other flammable liquids to start a fire; severe burns could result.
DO NOT
store combustible liquids or materials near the appliance.
DO NOT
store wood within the minimum clearance to combustibles.
DO NOT
burn garbage, gasoline, naphtha or engine oil for any reason.
DO NOT
burn tires, telephone poles, railroad ties or yard waste. In many areas this is illegal and will damage
the appliance. Burning anything other than approved fuels will void any warranties.
DO NOT
start a fire if flammable vapors or dust are present. An explosion could result.
DO NOT
use with an automatic stocker.
DO NOT
operate with a flue draft exceeding .06 inches of water column pressure. Most anti-freeze is
glycol based. Never store glycol of any kind near the appliance or any potential ignition source. All glycol is
flammable when exposed to high temperatures. If glycol is allowed to accumulate in or around the appli-
ance or any other potential ignition source, a fire can develop.
NEVER
use automotive anti-freeze or ethylene glycol in the system. Using these glycols can destroy rubber
pump and valve seals leading to hazardous leakage and system damage. Monitor and inspect the system
and appliance regularly for leakage.
NEVER
operate without a properly installed pressure relief valve (watts M335 or Apllo 407-1035) or equiva-
lent) which discharge water and relieve pressure at 30 psi. Use only a boiler relief valve designed to lift at 30
psi. Failure to use proper valve could result in an explosion, injury or property damage.
WHEN SYSTEM IS COLD, CAREFULLY OPEN/TEST/INSPECT the pressure relief valve at least annually to
ensure waterways are clear. IF SYSTEM IS HOT, avoid contact with the scalding water that will be
released. Failure to check the valve could result in an over pressure condition. This provides risk of a
rupture in the system and significant risk of severe injury or damage.
DO NOT
install in a garage due to routine presence of flammables.
DO NOT
use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in the heating system. Pump and valve water
seal deterioration will occur. This can result in substantial property damage.
DO NOT
use “homemade cures” or “boiler patent medicines”. Serious damage to the appliance, personal
injury and /or property may result. To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply before performing
maintenance. To avoid server burns, allow the appliance to cool before performing maintenance. This appli-
ance requires electricity whenever in operation. Operation without electricity could result in the
appliance overheating. If power outages are anticipated, a back-up electrical generator is recommended.
