7Part 1 - General Safety InformationB. Improper CombustionWARNINGWARNINGDO NOT USE THIS BOILER IF ANY PART HAS BEENSUBMERGED IN WATER. Immediately call a qualified servicetechnician. The boiler MUST BE replaced if it has been submerged.Attempting to operate a boiler that has been submerged couldcreate numerous harmful conditions, such as a potential gasleakage causing a fire and/or explosion, or the release of mold,bacteria, or other harmful particulates into the air. Operatinga previously submerged boiler could result in property damage,severe personal injury, or death.NOTE: Boiler damage due to flood or submersion is considered anAct of God, and IS NOT covered under product warranty.DO NOT alter or modify the appliance or appliance controls.Altering any NTI boiler with parts not manufactured by NTI WILLINSTANTLY VOID the boiler warranty and could result in propertydamage, personal injury, or death.This appliance is equipped with a three prong plug. It should only beplugged directly into a properly grounded three prong receptacle.DO NOT remove the ground plug from the plug.This appliance provides an overheat shutdown limit. In the event theappliance water temperature exceeds the setpoint of the controllimit, the cutoff will trip and the appliance will shut down. Certainlocal codes require additional temperature limits. In addition,certain types of systems may operate at temperatures below theminimum setpoint of the limit provided with the appliance. Contactthe manufacturer for additional overheat controls.Do not use this boiler for anything other than its intended purpose(as described in this manual). Doing so could result in propertydamage and WILL VOID product warranty.Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilating air.Adequate air is necessary for safe operation. Failure to keep theexhaust vent and combustion air intake clear of ice, snow, or otherdebris could result in property damage, serious personal injury, ordeath.C. GasShould overheating or gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manualgas control valve to the boiler.D. When Servicing the Boiler• To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply beforeperforming maintenance.• To avoid severe burns, allow boiler and associated equipmentto cool before servicing.Be sure to disconnect electrical power before opening boilercabinet or performing service. Label all wires while performingservice to ensure proper re-wiring of the appliance. Wiring errorscan cause improper or dangerous operation. Failure to do so couldresult in electrical shock, improper boiler or system operation,property damage, serious personal injury, or death.Due to the low water content of the boiler, improper sizing of theboiler with regard to heating system load will result in excessivecycling and accelerated component failure. DO NOT under oroversize the boiler to the system. Modular boiler installationsgreatly reduce the likelihood of boiler oversizing. NTI DOES NOTwarrant failures caused by improperly sized boiler applications.High heat sources (sources generating heat 100oF / 37oC orgreater, such as stove pipes, space heaters, etc.) may damageplastic components of the boiler as well as plastic vent pipematerials. Such damages ARE NOT covered by warranty. It isrecommended to keep a minimum clearance of 8” from high heatsources. Observe heat source manufacturer instructions, as wellas local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulationsand ordinances when installing this boiler and related componentsnear high heat sources.CAUTIONNOTICEWARNINGWARNINGE. Boiler System• Thoroughly flush the system (without the boiler connected)to remove sediment. The high-efficiency heat exchanger canbe damaged by build-up or corrosion due to sediment. Themanufacturer recommends a suction strainer in this type ofsystem.• Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compoundsin boiler system. Gaskets and seals in the system may bedamaged, possibly resulting in substantial property damage.• Do not use “homemade cures” or “boiler patent medicines”.Substantial property damage, damage to boiler, and/or seriouspersonal injury may result.• Continual fresh make-up water will reduce boiler life. Mineralbuildup in the heat exchanger reduces heat transfer, overheatsthe stainless steel heat exchanger, and causes failure. Additionof oxygen from make-up water can cause internal corrosionin system components. Leaks in the boiler or piping must berepaired at once.NOTE: DO NOT add cold make up water to the system when theboiler is hot. Thermal shock can potentially cause cracks in the heatexchanger. Such damage IS NOT covered by warranty.• Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compoundsin boiler system. Gaskets and seals in the system may bedamaged, possibly resulting in substantial property damage.• Do not use “homemade cures” or “boiler patent medicines”.Substantial property damage, damage to boiler, and/or seriouspersonal injury may result.• Always verify proper operation after servicing the boiler.NOTE: When inquiring about service or troubleshooting, reference themodel and serial numbers from the boiler rating label.
