CHAPTER 4: UNIT START-UP
4.1 INITIAL START-UP REQUIREMENTS
Before starting the heater, the user must be correctly instructed by the installer, on how to
operate the heater, in particular:
•
Make sure that the user understands that combustion air and ventilation openings must
not be restricted, closed, or modified in any way.
• Make sure that the user is informed of all the special measures to be taken for
combustion air inlet and discharging flue gases, and that these must not be modified in
any way.
• Make sure that the user keeps this manual and all other documentation included with the
heater.
• Make sure that the user understands never to tamper with gas control settings and the
risk of CO poisoning should an unauthorized individual do so
• Make sure that the user knows how to adjust temperatures and controls.
4.1.1 Filling the Condensate Neutralizer
The condensate neutralizer is positioned inside the heater as shown in Figures 2-3 or 2-5, item
“3”. It must be filled with water to prevent the leakage of flue gases from the condensate
drainpipe, item “5” in Figures 2-3 or 2-5. To fill and inspect the condensate neutralizer, refer to
Section 6.1.1.
WARNING!
If the unit is turned OFF for more than 3 months, repeat the above
operation to again fill the condensate trap. Failure to follow this
warning could result in excessive levels of carbon monoxide.
