property damage can result.
the High Limit protector will disconnect all the electric elements
and a more or less frequent cycling mode will be established by
the Safety Control (see the Technical Specifications Table);
7. In order to ensure satisfactory water flow, the friction in the piping
system must not exceed the capacity of the circulator;
8. After having completed all piping connections, run water through
the system and purge the air. The automatic vent should be in
operation.
Note: Remove the plastic cover and check to see if the elements
are watertight.
8) ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY
All electrical wiring must conform to the standards and regulations in

power.
CAUTION
If the power is turned on before the boiler is filled
with water, the elements will become seriously
damaged.
SECTION 3 : MAINTENANCE
The property owner has the following responsibilities:
a. Maintain the area around the boiler clean at all times and free
from combustible and flammable material;
b. Ensure that the ambient air at the boiler is not excessively dusty
or humid;
c. Have all water leaks repaired in the system as they arise.
d. Ensure that the ambient temperature in the area where the unit
is installed does not exceed 27oC (80oF).
CAUTION
The boiler guaranty may be invalidated if: water
leaks in the system are not repaired; the boiler is
used as a source of domestic hot water or a
significant amount of new water or air is introduced
into the system.
1. Adjust the setpoint of the boiler on the aquastat.
2. Turn on the power, set the thermostat at 30C (85F). The
circulator should start as well as the electrical elements in
sequence with a 8 seconds delay;
3. The circulator stays on for as long as there is a call for heat.
2) MECHANICAL HIGH LIMIT
Mechanical High Limit Control
The mechanical limit control must be set 20oF above the setpoint
temperature on control aquastat.
Procedure:
1. Let the boiler cool down;
2. Close the maintenance valves, which are installed at the water
inlet and outlet of the boiler. N.B.: It is not recommended to drain
the water from the heating pipe system;
3. Hook-up a garden hose to the drain valve and place it close to a
floor drain;
4. Open the purge valve until the water comes out clean and clear;
5. Close the valve.
It is recommended to perform a visual inspection of the boiler
electrical compartment annually, during the heating season. The
items to check are the water tightness of the elements, signs of
overheating of the electrical components and the wiring. Corrective
measures must be undertaken as required, as soon as possible.
Defective components should always be replaced with the Original
Equipment Manufacturer’s parts.
It is recommended that the boiler be purged annually, in order to
eliminate sediment and sludge that may have accumulated at the
bottom of the boiler and covering the heating elements.
