4.4 Protecting the Boiler from Freezing
CAUTION
Damage due to freezing is not covered by the Navien limited
warranty.
ƔFreezing damage is most likely to occur due to back drafting
caused by negative pressure in the building. This is not a
manufacturing defect, and therefore, Navien will not warrant
any damages due to freezing. The installer is responsible for
ensuring that there is sufficient make-up air to avoid such
a situation and the owner is responsible for ensuring that
protection against freezing is maintained.
ƔTo avoid freezing issues, we strongly recommend the use of
a direct vent exhaust and intake system.Your installer should
ensure that the exhaust vent pipe and the air intake pipe are
both connected directly from the collars on the top of the
boiler to the outdoors. This type of vent system minimizes
air movement within the boiler.
ƔThis boiler has an optional recirculation mode that is used for
freeze protection. This mode should prevent the boiler from
freezing, even if the intake air duct is not vented directly.
ƔThe boiler is designed for indoor installation only.
To ensure that the boiler does not freeze, follow these guidelines:
ƔDo not unplug the power supply cord, except for routine
maintenance. The boiler has a freeze protection function that
requires electricity. The freeze protection function will operate
regardless of whether or not the power is turned on or off, as
long as the electric supply is still connected.
ƔDo not close the gas valve, except for routine maintenance, as
this will limit additional freeze protection.
ƔIf the boiler will not be used for an extended period, drain
the boiler.
If the power or gas supplies must be disconnected for an
extended period, drain the boiler. Freezing damage may occur if
there is water remained in the boiler in cold weather.
Note ƔIf hot water will not flow and you suspect that the
boiler is frozen, contact an authorized technician or
licensed professional.
ƔThis boiler requires very little maintenance, however
a qualified technician should inspect the boiler at
the beginning of every heating season and/or when
there is a problem.

Maintaining the Boiler 15
Cleaning the Condensate Trap
1. Inspect the condensate drain line, condensate fittings, and
condensate trap.
2. Remove any sediment in the trap.
3. Fill with fresh water until the water begins to pour out of the
drain.
Checking all Piping for Leaks
Eliminate all system or boiler leaks. Continual fresh makeup water
will reduce boiler life. Minerals can build up in sections, reducing
heat transfer, overheating heat exchanger, and causing heat
exchanger failure. Leaking water may also cause severe property
damage.
1. Inspect all water and gas piping and verify to be leak free.
2. Look for signs of leaking lines and correct any problems found.
Checking the Flue Vent System and Air Piping
1. Visually inspect the entire flue gas venting system and air
piping for blockage, deterioration or leakage. Repair any
joints that show signs of leakage. Verify that air inlet pipe is
connected and properly sealed (if installed).
2. Verify that boiler vent discharge and air intake are clean and
free of obstructions.
WARNING
Failure to inspect for the above conditions and have them
repaired can result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING
ƔFollow the service and maintenance procedures given
throughout this manual and in component literature
shipped with the boiler. Failure to perform the service and
maintenance could result in damage to the boiler or system.
ƔFailure to follow the directions in this manual and
component literature could result in severe personal injury,
death, or substantial property damage.
ƔThe boiler should be inspected annually only by a qualified
service technician. In addition, the maintenance and care
of the boiler must be performed to assure maximum boiler
efficiency and reliability. Failure to service and maintain the
boiler and system could result in equipment failure.
ƔElectrical shock hazard – Turn off power to the boiler
before any service operation on the boiler except as noted
otherwise in this instruction manual. Failure to turn off
electrical power could result in electrical shock, causing
severe personal injury or death.
Addressing the Reported Problems
Inspect any problems reported by the owner and correct before
proceeding.
Inspecting the Installation Area
1. Verify that boiler area is free of any combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
2. Verify that air intake area is free of any of the contaminants
listed in Installation & Operation Manual. If any of these are
present in the boiler intake air vicinity, they must be removed.
If they cannot be removed, reinstall the air and vent lines per
the Installation and Operation Manual.
Inspecting the Boiler Interior
1. Remove the front cover and inspect the interior of the boiler.
2. Vacuum any sediment from inside the boiler and components.
Remove any obstructions.

16 Maintaining the Boiler
Checking the Water System
1. Verify all system components are correctly installed and
operational.
2. Check the cold fill pressure for the system. Verify it is correct
(must be a minimum of 12 psi).
3. Watch the system pressure as the boiler heats up (during
testing) to ensure pressure does not rise too high.
Note
ƔIf the system contains glycol, test for proper
concentration as recommended by manufacturer.
ƔExcessive pressure rise indicates expansion tank
sizing or performance problem.
4. Inspect automatic air vents and air separators. Remove air vent
caps and briefly press push valve to flush vent.
5. Replace caps. Make sure vents do not leak. Replace any leaking
vents.
Checking Expansion Tank
ƔExpansion tanks provide space for water to move in and out as
the heating system water expands due to temperature increase
or contracts as the water cools.
ƔPerform annual checks as recommended by manufacturer to
ensure proper operation.
Checking the Pressure Relief Valves
1. Inspect the relief valve and lift the lever to verify flow. Before
operating any relief valve, ensure that it is piped with its
discharge in a safe area to avoid severe scald potential.
Note Safety relief valves should be inspected at least once
every three years, by a licensed plumbing contractor
or authorized inspection agency, to ensure that the
product has not been affected by corrosive water
conditions and to ensure that the valve and discharge
line have not been altered or tampered with illegally.
WARNING
ƔCertain naturally occurring conditions may corrode the
valve or its components over time, rendering the valve
inoperative. Such conditions are not detectable unless
the valve and its components are physically removed and
inspected. This inspection must only be conducted by a
plumbing contractor or authorized inspection agency – not
by the owner. Failure to re-inspect the boiler relief valve
as directed could result in unsafe pressure buildup, which
can result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial
property damage.
ƔFollowing installation, the valve lever must be operated at
least once a year to ensure that waterways are clear. Certain
naturally occurring mineral deposits may adhere to the valve,
rendering it inoperative. When manually operating the lever,
water will discharge and precautions must be taken to avoid
contact with hot water and to avoid water damage.
ƔBefore operating lever, check to see that a discharge line
is connected to this valve directing the flow of hot water
from the valve to a proper place of disposal. Otherwise
severe personal injury may result. If no water flows, valve is
inoperative. Shut down the boiler until a new relief valve has
been installed.
2. After following the above warning directions, if the relief
valve weeps or will not seat properly, replace the relief valve.
Ensure that the reason for relief valve weeping is the valve and
not over-pressurization of the system due to expansion tank
waterlogging or undersizing.
Inspecting the Ignition and Flame Detector Electrodes
1. Remove the ignition and flame detector electrodes from the
boiler heat exchanger.
2. Remove any deposits accumulated on the ignition/flame
detector electrode. If the electrodes cannot be cleaned
satisfactorily, replace with new ones.
3. Replace ignition/flame detector electrode, making sure gasket
is in good condition and correctly positioned.

Maintaining the Boiler 17
Checking the Ignition Ground Wiring
1. Check that the ground wire is in good condition and securely
attached to the boiler casing.
2. Check ground continuity of wiring using continuity meter.
3. Replace ground wires if ground continuity is not satisfactory.
Checking all Boiler Wiring
Inspect all boiler wiring, making sure wires are in good condition
and securely attached.
Checking the Control Settings
1. From the front panel, enter the Diagnostics Mode and check all
settings. Adjust settings if necessary.
2. Check settings of external limit controls (if any) and adjust if
necessary.
Performing Start-up and Checks
1. Start boiler and make sure that the boiler is operating properly.
2. Verify cold fill pressure is correct and that operating pressure
does not go too high.
Check the Burner Flame
1. Inspect flame through observation window.
2. If the flame is unsatisfactory at either high fire or low fire, check
for obstructions in the venting and ensure that the air intake
filter is clean.
Review with the Owner
1. Review the User’s Information Manual with the owner.
2. Emphasize the need to perform the maintenance schedule.
3. Remind the owner of the need to call a licensed contractor
should the boiler or system exhibit any unusual behavior.
4. Remind the owner to follow the proper shutdown procedure
and to schedule an annual start-up at the beginning of the
next heating season.
