PART 1 – GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
A. PRECAUTIONS
This boiler is for indoor installations only. Clearance to combustible materials: 0” top, bottom, sides and back. Front must have room for
service, 24” recommended. (A combustible door or removable panel is acceptable front clearance.) This boiler has been approved for
closet installation. Do not install this boiler directly on carpeting. Category IV vent systems only.
INSTALLER – Read all instructions in this manual before installing. Perform steps in the order given.
USER – This manual is for use only by a qualified heating installer/service technician. Refer to user’s information manual for your
reference. Have this boiler serviced/inspected by a qualified service technician annually.
FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE GUIDELINES ON THIS PAGE AND HAVE THIS BOILER SERVICED/INSPECTED ANNUALLY
CAN RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
NOTE: When inquiring about service or troubleshooting, reference the model and serial numbers from the boiler rating label.
DO NOT USE THIS BOILER IF ANY PART HAS BEEN SUBMERGED IN WATER. Immediately call a qualified service technician. The
boiler MUST BE replaced if it has been submerged. Attempting to operate a boiler that has been submerged could create numerous
harmful conditions, such as a potential gas leakage causing a fire and/or explosion, or the release of mold, bacteria, or other harmful
particulates into the air. Operating a previously submerged boiler could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
NOTE: Boiler damage due to flood or submersion is considered an Act of God, and IS NOT covered under product warranty.
Be sure to disconnect electrical power before opening boiler cabinet or performing service. Failure to do so could result in an electrical
shock that could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
NOTE: If the boiler is exposed to the following, do not operate until all corrective steps have been made by a qualified serviceman:
1. FIRE
2. DAMAGE
3. WATER
Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately against the transportation company by the consignee.
Due to the low water content of the boiler, improper sizing of the boiler with regard to heating system load will result in excessive cycling
and accelerated component failure. HTP DOES NOT warrant failures caused by improperly sized boiler applications. DO NOT oversize
the boiler to the system. Modular boiler installations greatly reduce the likelihood of boiler oversizing.
B. IMPROPER COMBUSTION
Do not obstruct combustion and ventilating air flow. Adequate air must be provided for safe operation. Failure to keep the exhaust vent
and intake pipe clear of ice, snow, or other debris could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
C. GAS
Should overheating or gas supply fail to shut off, do not turn off or disconnect electrical supply to circulator. Instead, shut off the gas
supply at a location external to the boiler.
D. WHEN SERVICING THE BOILER

To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply before performing maintenance.

To avoid severe burns, allow boiler to cool.
E. BOILER SYSTEM

Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in a boiler system. Gaskets and seals in the system may be
damaged. This can result in substantial property damage.
 Do not use “homemade cures” or “patent medicines”. Substantial property damage, damage to boiler, and/or serious personal
injury may result.
