Part 1 - Product and Safety Information

User -

 Have this appliance serviced / inspected annually by a 

qualified service technician.

FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE GUIDELINES IN THIS 
MANUAL CAN RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY 
DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

The combustion chamber insulation in this product contains 

ceramic  fiber  material.  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).” DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, 
OPEN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER OF THIS APPLIANCE! 
The combustion chamber of this appliance may be opened 

by a qualified service technician ONLY. FAILURE TO FOLLOW 

THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL 
PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR 
DEATH.

A. Appliance Operation

•  Do  not  block  flow  of  the 

appliance exhaust vent or 
intake pipe.

• 

Should overheating 
occur or gas supply fail to 

shut  off,  do  not  turn  off 

or disconnect electrical 
supply to the circulator. 

Instead,  shut  off  the 

gas supply at a location 
external to the appliance 
following the instructions 
on page 2.

• 

Do not use this appliance 
if any part has been 
under water. Immediately 

call  a  qualified  service 

technician to inspect the 
appliance and replace any 
part of the control system 
or gas control that has 
been under water.

B. Primary Water

• 

Do not attempt to clean the heating system. Call a 

qualified service technician for service.

•  If  you  notice  any  leaks,  immediately  call  a  qualified 

service technician. Leaks in appliance or piping must be 
repaired at once.

Hydronic systems that use glycol as heat transfer fluid must be 

serviced periodically. Glycol can break down over time, become 
acidic, and attack gaskets and seals in appliances. This can result 
in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Each  glycol  manufacturer  has  different  recommendations  for 
testing  and  replacement.  Do  not  test  glycol  quality  yourself. 
Have  your  qualified  service  technician  check  glycol  quality 

during annual servicing. If you are unsure when your glycol was 

last tested, call a qualified service technician to test and replace 

glycol, if necessary.

C. Freeze Protection Fluids (Does Not Apply to VWH
