The following terms are used throughout this manual to bring attention to the presence of hazards of various risk levels.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in death, serious injury
or substantial property damage.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in moderate or minor
injury or property damage.
CAUTION
Basic Operation
DANGER
There are no user serviceable parts on this boiler. Attempts to service this boiler by someone other than a
qualied gas service technician could void the warranty, cause property damage, personal injury or loss of
life.
CAUTION
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, do not turn off or disconnect the electrical
supply to the pump. Instead, shut off the gas supply at a location external to the appliance.
En cas de surchauffe ou si I'admission de gaz ne peut étre coupée, ne pas couper ni débrancher
l'alimentation électrique de la pompe. Fermer plutôt le robinet d'admission de gaz à l'extérieur de I'appareil.
Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualied service technician to
inspect the boiler and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under
water.
CAUTION
Like all central heating appliances, this boiler is equipped with safety devices, which could cause it to
shutdown, requiring service to restore normal operation. Where such a shutdown could result in damage
from low temperatures (such as frozen pipes), do not leave the heating system unattended during cold
weather unless alarms or other safeguards are in place to prevent damage.
A. General
1. This manual covers the proper care and use of the
Alpine™ (ALP) Condensing High Efciency Gas
Fired Boiler
2. Instructions to safely light and shut down this boiler
are shown on page 4, as well as on a label afxed to
the boiler. Control locations shown in Figure 1.
3. The Alpine™ (ALP) boilers use an electronic
means built into the ignition system to extinguish
the burner in the event that ames exit the
combustion chamber. If the boiler fails to re, call
a qualied heating service agency to diagnose and
correct the problem.
4. Alpine™ (ALP) boilers – These boilers are
equipped with a safety feature which will shut down
the burner in the event that there is a blockage in
the vent system. In the event that the boiler fails to
function, and the boiler is vented through an outside
wall accessible from the ground, inspect the vent
terminal on the outside wall for a blockage such
as a bee’s nest or ice. If a blockage is found, the
burner should ignite approximately 30 seconds after
the blockage is removed. If no blockage is found,
or if the terminal is inaccessible from the ground,
the problem must be diagnosed and corrected by a
qualied gas service technician.

WARNING
In the event that the ignition system on an ALP
boiler does not permit the boiler to re, there is
either a problem with the ignition system or a
problem with the vent system. Call a qualied
gas service technician to diagnose and correct
the problem.
A shutdown of the burner due to the pressure
switch is an indication that there is a problem
with the vent system, such as a blockage. The
boiler pressure switch should only be reset
after a qualied gas service technician has
diagnosed and corrected the venting problem
that caused the blocked vent air proving switch
to open.
• Loose joints, corrosion or other deterioration
• Condensate leakage
• Sags in horizontal runs of vent pipe
5. The owner should also perform a monthly visual
inspection of the boiler and the surrounding system
piping. To do this, remove the boiler jacket door.
If any of the following are found, a qualied gas
service technician should be consulted immediately:
•
Deterioration of the visible controls, wiring, and
sheet metal components
• Heating system water Leaks
• Carbon (“soot”) in or near the burner
compartment area
• Make sure that the condensate drain system is
unobstructed and leak tight.
B. Maintenance
1. Safe reliable operation of this boiler depends upon
proper periodic maintenance.
2. The following should be done on a continuous
basis:
• Keep the area around the boiler free of objects,
which are ammable.
• Do not store or use sources of hydrocarbons such
as bleaches, fabric softeners, paints, cleaners,
refrigerants, and cat boxes near the boiler. Traces
of these chemicals can be drawn into the boiler,
causing severe corrosion damage to the boiler
and/or objectionable odors.
• Do not expose the boiler to large amounts of dust
such as that generated by dry wall construction
or woodworking.
3. A qualied gas service technician should perform
the maintenance procedure shown in the installation
manual on an annual basis.
4. The owner should visually inspect the venting
system on a monthly basis. If any of the following
conditions are found, the boiler should be shut down
and a qualied gas service technician called to
correct the problem before the boiler is placed back
in service:
CAUTION
The Alpine™ (ALP) has a heat exchanger made
from a special stainless steel alloy which can
be severely damaged by frequent additions of
water or by the addition of boiler water additives
which are not designed for use with stainless
steel boilers. If it is necessary to add water to
the boiler, have a service technician check the
system for leaks. Do not add any chemicals to the
boiler not listed in Section X of the Alpine™ (ALP)
installation manual. Warranty is void if the service
and maintenance procedure shown in Section XII
of the Alpine™ (ALP) installation manual is not
followed.
WARNING
Carbon (“soot”) in or near the burner compartment
area is an indication of a potential carbon
monoxide hazard. If carbon is found, the boiler
should be shut down immediately and inspected
by a qualied gas service technician. The cause
of the sooting should be found and corrected
before the boiler is restarted.
