Part 2 - Operating Instructions
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur
within five (5) seconds at a setting of 140
o
F. Water temperature over
125
o
F can instantly cause severe burns or death from scalds. Children,
disabled, and elderly persons are at the highest risk of being scalded.
See instruction manual before setting temperature at the appliance.
Feel water before bathing or showering.
An ASSE 1017 or ASSE 1070 temperature limiting or mixing valve is
recommended in installations servicing disabled or elderly persons,
or children. Mixing valves do not eliminate the risk of scalding.
To avoid scalding:
• Set the water heater set point temperature as low as possible.
• Feel water before bathing or showering.
• If thermostatic valves are required, use devices specifically
designed for such purpose. Install these devices in accordance
with instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Failure to install a temperature limiting or mixing valve and follow
these instructions could result in property damage, severe personal
injury, or death due to scalds.

E. During Operation
1. Check for Gas Leaks
Frequently check the gas pipe and connections for leaks with a
soapy solution. Gas is leaking if air bubbles appear during the test.
Close the gas supply valve and call your gas supplier for inspection.
After any repair of the gas pipeline or replacement of the gas
regulator, call a qualified service technician to observe the installation
and replacement before restoring power to the boiler. Failure to do
so could result in a fire or explosion, substantial property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
2. Check Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe for Proper Ventilation
Ensure there is sufficient ventilation while operating the boiler.
Improper ventilation could result in premature boiler failure. Such
failures ARE NOT covered by boiler warranty.
Exhaust gas entering the living space can cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. If exhaust gas should leak into the living space:
• Shut down the boiler.
• Close the gas valve.
• Open windows for ventilation.
• Ensure the CO detectors are operating properly.
Immediately call a qualied service technician to inspect the boiler
and exhaust vent pipe. Any damages to the exhaust vent pipe should
be repaired immediately. Failure to do so could result in a re or
explosion, substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or
death.
3. Burn Warning
Take caution when inspecting the boiler and its internal
components, exhaust vent, and/or water pipes. These components
can get extremely hot during operation.
Storing flammable or combustible materials near this boiler could
result in a fire or explosion, substantial property damage, severe
personal injury, or death.
4. Combustibles and Flammable Material Warning
Do not store combustibles or flammable materials in the vicinity of
this boiler. Do not hang anything from the exhaust pipe.
5. Check for Water Leaks
• Do not attempt to clean the heating system. Call a qualified
service technician for service.
• Immediately call a qualified service technician if you notice any
leaks. Leaks in boiler or piping must be repaired at once.
DO NOT use this boiler for any purposes other than those specifically
described by NTI (to provide central heating and domestic hot water).
Using this boiler for unapproved purposes WILL VOID the warranty,
and could result in substantial property damage, serious personal
injury, or death.
