User’s Information Manual
Please read before proceeding
NOTICE
NOTICE
WARNING
The Knight Wall Mount Installation and
Operation Manual along with the Knight
Wall Mount Service Manual are for use
only by a qualified heating installer/service
technician. Refer only to this User’s
Information Manual for your reference.
Improper installation, adjustment,
alteration, service or maintenance can
cause property damage, personal injury
(exposure to hazardous materials) or loss
of life. Installation and service must be
performed by a qualified installer, service
agency or the gas supplier (who must
read and follow the supplied instruction
before installing, servicing, or removing
this boiler. This boiler contains materials
that have been identified as carcinogenic,
or possibly carcinogenic, to humans).
When calling or writing about the boiler
– Please have the boiler model and serial
number from the boiler rating plate.
Consider piping and installation when
determining boiler location.
Any claims for damage or shortage in
shipment must be filed immediately
against the transportation company by
the consignee.
Factory warranty (shipped with unit) does
not apply to units improperly installed or
improperly operated.
Failure to adhere to the guidelines on this
page can result in severe personal injury,
death, or substantial property damage.
Boiler service and maintenance –
• To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply
before performing maintenance.
• To avoid severe burns, allow boiler to cool before
performing maintenance.
Boiler operation –
• Do not block flow of combustion or ventilation air to
the boiler. This boiler is equipped with a control which
will automatically shut down the boiler should air or
vent be blocked. If vent or air blockage is easily
accessible and removable, remove it. The boiler should
attempt to restart. If blockage is not obvious or cannot
be removed, have the boiler and system checked by a
qualified service technician.
• Should overheating occur or gas supply fail to shut off,
do not turn off or disconnect electrical supply to the
circulator. Instead, shut off the gas supply at a location
external to the appliance.
• Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water.
The possible damage to a flooded appliance can be
extensive and present numerous safety hazards. Any
appliance that has been under water must be replaced.
Boiler water –
• Thoroughly flush the system (without boiler
connected) to remove sediment. The high-efficiency
heat exchanger can be damaged by build-up or
corrosion due to sediment.
• Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing
compounds in the boiler system. Gaskets and seals in
the system may be damaged. This can result in
substantial property damage.
• Do not use “homemade cures” or “boiler patent
medicines”. Serious damage to the boiler, personnel,
and/or property may result.
• Continual fresh make-up water will reduce boiler life.
Mineral buildup in the heat exchanger reduces heat
transfer, overheats the stainless steel heat exchanger,
and causes failure. Addition of oxygen carried in by
makeup water can cause internal corrosion. Leaks in
boiler or piping must be repaired at once to prevent
makeup water.
Freeze protection fluids –
• NEVER use automotive antifreeze. Use only inhibited
propylene glycol solutions, which are specifically
formulated for hydronic systems. Ethylene glycol is
toxic and can attack gaskets and seals used in hydronic
systems.

User’s Information Manual
1 Prevent combustion air contamination
WARNING
WARNING
Pool and laundry products and common household
and hobby products often contain fluorine or chlorine
compounds. When these chemicals pass through the boiler,
they can form strong acids. The acid can eat through the
boiler wall, causing serious damage and presenting a possible
threat of flue gas spillage or boiler water leakage into the
building.
Please read the information listed in Table 1A. If
contaminating chemicals will be present near the location of
the boiler combustion air inlet, have your installer pipe the
boiler combustion air and vent to another location, per the
Knight Wall Mount Installation and Operation Manual.
WARNING
If the boiler combustion air inlet is located
in any area likely to cause contamination,
or if products which would contaminate
the air cannot be removed, you must
have the combustion air and vent
re-piped and terminated to another
location. Contaminated combustion
air will damage the boiler, resulting in
possible severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.
If the boiler combustion air inlet is located
in a laundry room or pool facility, for
example, these areas will always contain
hazardous contaminants.
To prevent the potential of severe
personal injury or death, check for areas
and products listed in Table 1A before
installing the boiler or air inlet piping.
If contaminants are found, you MUST:
• Remove contaminants permanently.
—OR—
• Relocate air inlet and vent
terminations to other areas.
Table 1A Corrosive Contaminants and Sources
Products to avoid:
Spray cans containing chloro/fluorocarbons
Permanent wave solutions
Chlorinated waxes/cleaners
Chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals
Calcium chloride used for thawing
Sodium chloride used for water softening
Refrigerant leaks
Paint or varnish removers
Hydrochloric acid/muriatic acid
Cements and glues
Antistatic fabric softeners used in clothes dryers
Chlorine-type bleaches, detergents, and cleaning solvents
found in household laundry rooms
Adhesives used to fasten building products and other similar
products
Areas likely to have contaminants
Dry cleaning/laundry areas and establishments
Swimming pools
Metal fabrication plants
Beauty shops
Refrigeration repair shops
Photo processing plants
Auto body shops
Plastic manufacturing plants
Furniture refinishing areas and establishments
New building construction
Remodeling areas
Garages with workshops
