PART 2 – COMBUSTION AIR – CONTAMINATION PREVENTION
Do not operate the boiler if its combustion air intake is located in or near one of the areas or in the vicinity of products listed in Table 1.
These areas will always contain hazardous contaminates that can form strong acids while passing through the burner and vent system.
These acids will corrode the boiler’s heat exchanger, burner components and vent system, resulting in flue gas spillage and/or water
leakage, possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death. If the boiler combustion air intake is located in any
area likely to cause or contain contamination, or if products which would contaminate the air cannot be removed, the intake must be re-
piped and terminated to another location.
DO NOT re-pipe ventilation system on your own. Call a qualified service provider for assistance.
AREAS LIKELY TO HAVE CONTAMINANTS
Spray cans containing fluorocarbons
Dry cleaning/laundry areas and establishments
Chlorinated waxes/cleaners
Chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals
Calcium chloride used for thawing
Refrigeration repair shops
Sodium chloride used for water softening
Paint or varnish removers
Plastic manufacturing plants
Hydrochloric or Muriatic acid
Furniture refinishing areas and establishments
New building construction
Antistatic fabric softeners used in clothes dryers
Chlorine-type bleaches, laundry detergents, and cleaning solvents
Adhesives used to fasten building products

PART 3 – MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
A. SERVICE TECHNICIAN
The following maintenance should be performed by a qualified service
technician annually:
General
• Attend to any reported problems.
• Inspect the interior of the boiler jacket area; clean and vacuum
if necessary.
• Clean the condensate trap and fill with fresh water.
• If applicable, check the condensate neutralizer and ensure it is
full of condensate neutralizing marble chips.
• Check for leaks: Water, gas, flue and condensate.
• Verify exhaust vent and intake piping are in good condition
and sealed tight.
• Check exhaust vent and intake pipe bracing. Ensure bracing is
undamaged and in good condition.
• Check boiler water pressure, piping and expansion tank.
• Check control settings.
• Check ignition electrode. Sand off any white oxide. Clean and reposition.
• Check ignition and ground wiring.
• Check all control wiring and connections.
• Check burner flame pattern (stable and uniform).
Additional Items if Combustion or Performance is Poor
• Clean heat exchanger and flue ways.
• Remove burner assembly and clean burner head using compressed air only.
Once the maintenance items are completed, the service technician should review service with the owner.
