Where appliance instructions differ from this manual, follow the appliance instructions.
Prepare the appliance
Burner input: Install a burner sized for the normal input rating 
of the appliance. Do not install a burner with a higher firing 
rate than the appliance rating. Do not install a burner with a 
firing rate more than 10% lower than the appliance rating. 
The appliance and vent system could be damaged due to 
condensation.
Clean the appliance: Clean the appliance thoroughly. Test 
all electrical components and verify the relief valve works 
(boilers only).
Seal the appliance:
Seal all flue-gas containing joints. Seal
all connections to the vent piping or breeching.
Verify combustion chamber dimensions comply with the 
minimum dimensions recommended on page 9. Install or 
replace chamber liner if required by the appliance manu-
facturer. The burner must not extend into the combustion 
chamber. The end of the burner air tube must be within ¼” 
of the inside face of the chamber. If the space around the 
burner air tube is more than ¼”, wrap the burner air tube 
with minimum 2300-°F-rated ceramic fiber blanket to seal 
off the gap. 
Repair or replace damaged appliance components. 
Inspect the appliance thoroughly. Follow appliance manufac-
turer’s guidelines for repair or replacement of any component 
found defective.
When cleaning the appliance or working with
ceramic fiber
refractories or fiberglass insulation, see WARNING on this 
page.
Failure to comply with the above could result in severe per-
sonal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Prepare appliance for burner mounting
Positive overfire pressure applications: When firing with posi-
tive overfire pressure, do not exceed the pressure specified 
in the appliance manual.
Positive overfire pressure reduces maximum burner capacity. 
See Page 3 for estimated reduction in burner capacity with 
pressurized firing and high altitude applications.
Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death 
or substantial property damage.
Ceramic fiber or 
Fiberglass insulation
Ceramic fiber materials, such as chamber liners, may
contain carcinogenic particles (chrystobalites) after 
exposure to heat. Airborne particles from fiberglass 
or ceramic fiber components have been listed as 
potentially carcinogenic by the State of California. 
Take the following precautions when removing, 
replacing and handling these items.
Avoid breathing dust and avoid contact with skin 
or eyes. Wear long-sleeved, loose-fitting clothing, 
gloves and eye protection. Use a NIOSH N95 certified 
respirator. This respirator meets requirements for pro-
tection from chrystobalites. Actual job requirements 
or NIOSH regulations may require other or additional 
protection. For information, refer to the NIOSH website, 
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html.
Ceramic fiber removal: To prevent airborne dust, 
thoroughly wet ceramic fiber with water before 
handling. Place ceramic fiber materials in a plastic 
bag and seal to dispose.
Avoid blowing, tearing, sawing or spraying 
fiberglass or ceramic fiber materials. If such opera-
tions are necessary, wear extra protection to prevent 
breathing dust.
Wash work clothes separately from other laun-
dry. Rinse clothes washer thoroughly afterwards to 
prevent contamination of other clothing.
NIOSH First aid procedures:
Eye exposure — irrigate immediately
Breathing — fresh air.
