Prepare boiler location — contamination

1d

Table 1

Corrosive or destructive contaminants and likely locations

To prevent potential of severe personal injury or death, check for products or areas listed

below before installing boiler. If any of these contaminants are found:
• remove contaminants permanently

— OR —

• isolate boiler and provide outside combustion air. See national, provincial or local codes

for further information.

Please review the following information on potential
combustion air contamination problems.

Refer to

Table 1

for products and areas which may cause

contaminated combustion air.

CONSTRUCTION DUST HAZARD

— Airborne particulates, such as drywall dust

or fi berglass dust, will cause blockage of the CGi burners, resulting in carbon monoxide
production, a fi re hazard, or building freeze damage. If the boiler is operated during
construction, you must isolate the boiler air supply to provide clean air for combus-
tion. Follow the instruction manual guidelines for piping intake air.

If you are unable

to ensure uncontaminated air in the boiler air intake at all times, you must inspect
the boiler at least once weekly

. When inspecting, clean the burners if necessary using

the procedure given on page 39. Failure to follow these guidelines could result in severe
personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
