proper cleaning solution disposal.

Do not allow oil leaks, dust, or dirt to
accumulate around the boiler.

Hazard analysis should be performed
by end user to ensure safety of

other aspect of the boiler because of
an air fi lter that was not cleaned and
maintained regularly will void the
warranty on the Caliber boiler.

The boiler should not operate.

6. If an air inlet fi lter is included with the boiler, inspect and clean fi lter of any

dust or lint. See Procedure for Cleaning the Air Inlet Filter.

or side access panels, and is located within a housing at the air inlet
connection.

2. Remove all debris and dirt from the fi lter using a non-corrosive soap and

water.

3. Return the fi lter to its original position in the slot.

Relief Valve Testing

The relief valve should be tested per manufacturer instructions or every two
months by lifting the lever for 5 seconds and allowing the valve to snap shut.
Please see the manufacturer’s recommendations on the relief valve tag.

1. Stack temperature readings are aligned with factory test fi re and regular

maintenance reports.

2. Boiler is lighting off reliably and quietly.
