WARNING

Any appliance that burns natural gas, propane gas, fuel oil, wood or coal is capable of producing carbon
monoxide (CO). Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a gas which is odorless, colorless and tasteless but is very toxic.

If your BIASI boiler is not working properly, or is not vented properly, dangerous levels of CO may
accumulate. CO is lighter than air and thus may travel throughout the building. BRIEF EXPOSURE TO

HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF CO, OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LESSER AMOUNTS OF
CO MAY RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. EXPOSURE CAN BE FATAL AND
EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS MAY RESULT IN THE SUDDEN ONSET OF
SYMPTOMS INCLUDING UNCONSCIOUSNESS.

Symptoms of CO poisoning include the following:

dizziness vision problems shortness of breath
headache loss of muscl e control unclear thinking
nausea weakness unconsciousness

The symptoms of CO poisoning are often confused with those of influenza, and the highest incidence of
poisoning occurs at the onset of cold weather or during flu season. A victim may not experience any
symptoms , only one symptom, or a few symptoms. Suspect the presence of carbon monoxide if symptoms
tend to disappear when you leave your home.

The following signs may indicate the presence of carbon monoxide:

* Hot gasses from appliance, venting system, pi pes or chim ney ,
escaping into the living space.
* Flames coming out around the appliance.
* Yellow colored flames in the appliance.
* Stale or smelly air.
* The presence of soot or carbon in or around the appliance.
* Very high unexplained humidit y inside the building.

If any of the symptoms of CO occur, or if any of the signs of carbon monoxide are present, VACATE THE

PREMISES IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT A QUALIFIED HEATING SERVICE COMPANY OR
THE GAS COMPANY OR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

To reduce the risk of CO poisoning, have your heating system "tuned up" by a licensed heating contractor or
the gas company - preferably before each heating season. Also have the service company check your chimney
or vent pipes for blockage.

Your home should also be adequately ventilated, particularly if you have insulated your home.

ONLY QUALIFIED, LICENSED SERVICE CONTRACTORS SHOULD PERFORM WORK ON
YOUR B-10 OR SG BOILER.

1. General Information

The QHT Direct Vent components have been designed and packaged so that the Biasi
B-10 and SG boilers can be directly vented to the outside. Properly maintained, these boiler
systems are unsurpassed in efficiency and will provide years of trouble-free operation.
In addition to the standard Biasi boiler package, the Direct Vent Package is supplied
with a kit containing the standard make-up air and appropriate exhaust system piping and
hoods for your application. The last piece of the complete package is a direct vent specific
burner.
The Direct Vent Systems are a non-powered positive pressure vent hood system for
gas or oil fired appliances that provides an outlet for exhaust gases and an intake for
combustion air. The hood is designed to direct the hot exhaust gases away from the structure
without the aid of a motorized fan. All of the internal parts in contact with the flue gases are
made from corrosion resistant stainless steel.

NOTICE:

All equipment should be inspected upon delivery, and any
damage or shortage should be reported to the supplier and
shipper immediately.
