STOP! READ BEFORE SERVICING
PRESTIGE Operation
• Do not block flow of combustion air to the PRESTIGE. If the combustion air blockage is easily
accessible and removable, then remove it. If blockage is not obvious or cannot be removed, have the
unit and system checked by a qualified service technician.
• Do not allow contaminated air to enter the unit’s
combustion air inlet. See page 2 for details.
• The PRESTIGE is equipped with a low water cutoff
device. The boiler and system piping must be filled
and pressurized to 15 psig prior to startup. The unit
will shut down if the pressure falls below 10 psig.
• 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.
• Do not use this unit if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the boiler and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control, which has been
under water.
WARNING
Failure to adhere to the guidelines on this page can

Service and Maintenance
• To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply
before performing service or maintenance.
• Allow the unit to cool down prior to servicing to avoid
severe burns.
• The PRESTIGE must be maintained as outlined in
this manual and have at least annual service performed by a qualified service technician to ensure
unit / system reliability.
Boiler & System Water
• Have the boiler and system water chemistry
checked at least annually by a qualified service technician.
• Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing
compounds in the boiler or system. Gaskets and
seals in the system may be damaged. This can
result in substantial property damage.
• Do not use any product not specifically designed for
boiler / hydronic heating systems. Serious damage
to the unit, piping system, personnel and / or property may result.
• Continual fresh makeup water will reduce the life of
the PRESTIGE. Addition of oxygen can cause internal corrosion in the system components. All leaks in
the piping system must be repaired at once to prevent makeup water.
• Do not add cold water to a hot unit. Thermal shock
can cause premature failure to the boiler heat
exchanger.

Combustion Air - Prevention of Contamination
SECTION I - COMBUSTION AIR - PREVENTION OF
CONTAMINATION
WARNING
If the PRESTIGE combustion air inlet is located in
any area likely to cause or contain contamination, or
if products, which would contaminate the air cannot
be removed, the combustion air must be re-piped
and terminated to another location. Contaminated
combustion air will damage the unit and its burner
system, resulting in possible severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
WARNING
Do not operate a PRESTIGE unit if its combustion air
inlet or the unit is located in or near a laundry room
or pool facility. These areas will always contain hazardous contaminates.
Pool and laundry products and common household
and hobby products often contain fluorine or chlorine compounds. When these chemicals pass
through the burner and vent system, they can form
strong acids. These acids can create corrosion of
the heat exchanger, burner components and vent
system, causing serious damage and presenting a
possible threat of flue gas spillage or water leakage
into the surrounding area.
Please read the following information. If contaminating chemicals will be present near the location of
the combustion air inlet, the installer should pipe the
combustion air inlet to another location per the
PRESTIGE installation manual.
Potential Contaminating Products
- Spray cans containing chloro/fluorocarbons
- Permanent Wave Solutions
- Chlorinated wax
- Chlorine - based swimming pool chemicals and
spa cleaners
- Calcium Chloride used for thawing ice
- 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 find these products
- Dry cleaning / laundry areas and establishments
- Beauty salons
- Metal fabrication shops
- Swimming pools and health spas
- Refrigeration Repair shops
- Photo processing plants
- Auto body shops
- Plastic manufacturing plants
- Furniture refinishing areas and establishments

Maintenance Procedures
SECTION III - MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
WARNING
The PRESTIGE must be inspected and serviced
annually, preferably at the start of the heating season, by a qualified service technician. In addition,
the maintenance and care of the boiler as outlined
on page 3 and further explained on pages 4 through
6 must be performed to assure maximum efficiency
and reliability of the unit. Failure to service and
maintain the PRESTIGE and the system components
could result in equipment failure, causing possible
severe personal injury, death or substantial property
damage.
NOTICE
The following information provides detailed instruction for completing the maintenance items outlined
in the maintenance schedule on page 3. In addition
to this maintenance, the PRESTIGE should be serviced at the beginning of the heating season by a
qualified service technician.
1. Combustible / flammable materials - Do not
store combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids near the unit.
Remove immediately if found.
2. Air contaminates - Products containing chlorine
or fluorine, if allowed to contaminate the combustion air, will cause acidic condensate within
the unit. This will cause significant damage to
the unit. Read the list of potential materials listed on page 2 of this manual. If any of these
products are in the room from which the unit
takes its combustion air, they must be removed
immediately or the combustion air intake must
be relocated to another area.
Check Combustion Air Inlets
1. Verify that ventilation air openings to the
mechanical room are open and unobstructed.
2. Verify that the unit’s vent termination and combustion air intake are clean and free of obstructions. Remove any debris on the air intake or
flue exhaust openings. If removing the debris
does not allow the unit to operate correctly, contact your qualified service technician to inspect
the unit and the vent / combustion air system.
Daily Maintenance
Check the surrounding area
WARNING
To prevent potential of severe personal injury, death
or substantial property damage, eliminate all the
materials listed on page 2 from the area surrounding
the unit and from the vicinity of the combustion air
inlet. If contaminates are found:
Remove products immediately from the area. If they
have been there for an extended period, call a qualified service technician to inspect the unit for possible damage from acid corrosion.
If products cannot be removed, immediately call a
qualified service technician to re-pipe the combustion air inlet piping and locate the combustion air
intake away from the contaminated areas.
Check Temperature display and Pressure Gauge
1. Ensure the pressure reading on the pressure
gauge does not exceed 25 psig. Higher pressure readings may indicate a problem with the
expansion tank.
2. Ensure the temperature on the display panel
does not exceed 194ºF. Higher temperature
readings may indicate a problem with the operating thermostat controls.
3. Contact a qualified service technician if problem persists.
