1.0 Combustion Air - Prevention of Contamination
4
SECTION I - COMBUSTION AIR -
PREVENTION OF CONTAMINATION
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.
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 haz-
ardous contaminates.
Pool and laundry products and common household
and hobby products often contain fluorine or chlo-
rine 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 contami-
nating 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.

3.0 Maintenance Procedures
SECTION III - MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES
The PRESTIGE must be inspected and serviced
annually, preferably at the start of the heating sea-
son, by a qualified service technician. In addition,
the maintenance and care of the boiler as outlined
on page 5 and further explained on pages 5 through
8 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.
The following information provides detailed instruc-
tion for completing the maintenance items outlined
in the maintenance schedule on page 5. In addition
to this maintenance, the PRESTIGE should be serv-
iced at the beginning of the heating season by a
qualified service technician.
3.1 Daily Maintenance
3.1.1 Check the Surrounding Area
To prevent potential of severe personal injury, death
or substantial property damage, eliminate all the
materials listed on page 4 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 quali-
fied service technician to inspect the unit for possi-
ble damage from acid corrosion.
If products cannot be removed, immediately call a
qualified service technician to re-pipe the combus-
tion air inlet piping and locate the combustion air
intake away from the contaminated areas.
WARNING
NOTICE
WARNING
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 com-
bustion air, will cause acidic condensate within
the unit. This will cause significant damage to
the unit. Read the list of potential materials list-
ed on page 4 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.
3.1.2 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 com-
bustion air intake are clean and free of obstruc-
tions. Remove any debris on the air intake or
flue exhaust openings. If removing the debris
does not allow the unit to operate correctly, con-
tact your qualified service technician to inspect
the unit and the vent / combustion air system.
3.1.3 Check Temperature Display and
Pressure Gauge
1. Ensure the pressure reading on the pressure
gauge does not exceed 25 psig. Higher pres-
sure 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 oper-
ating thermostat controls.
3. Contact a qualified service technician if prob-
lem persists.

assembly firmly installed on unit and filled with
water. If the trap is not installed and full of water flue
gases can be emitted into the surrounding area
causing severe personal injury or death.
2. While the unit is running, check the discharge
end of the condensate drain tubing. Ensure no
WARNING
WARNING
flue gas is leaking from the condensate drain
tubing by holding your fingers near the opening.
3. If you notice flue gas leaking this indicates a dry
condensate drain assembly. Fill the condensate
drain assembly with water. Contact a qualified
service technician to inspect the unit and con-
densate line and refill the condensate drain
assembly if problem persists regularly.
4. Ensure the condensate drain line is not blocked
by pouring water through the fill plug port on the
condensate drain assembly. The water should
flow out of the end of the drain line. If water
does not appear at the end of the drain line, con-
tact a qualified service technician to inspect and
clean the condensate line.
5. To fill the condensate drain assembly, if neces-
sary, remove the fill plug from the condensate
assembly. Slowly pour water into the trap
assembly until water appears at the end of the
drain line. Stop filling and replace plug.
