EXPANSION TANK
• Relieve pressure from the system
before isolating the expansion tank.
• To avoid electric shock, disconnect all
electrical supplies to the boiler before
performing maintenance.
• To avoid severe burns, allow boiler to
cool before performing maintenance.
• This boiler contains ceramic fiber
and fiberglass materials. Refer to
the WARNING and instructions on
page128.
Boileroperation—
• Do not block ow of combustion or
ventilation air to boiler.
• Should overheating occur or gas supply
fail to shut off, do not turn off or
disconnect electrical supply to circulator.
Instead, shut off the gas supply at a
location external to the appliance.
Combustionair—
• DO NOT install combustion air intake
where there is a risk of combustion air
contamination.
Carbonmonoxidedetector—
• A carbon monoxide detector that is
wired on the same electrical circuit as
the boiler is strongly recommended.
SURGEPROTECTOR—
• Provide surge protection in the boiler
power supply. This will reduce the
possibility of damage to the boiler
control.
• e ECO Tec heat exchanger is made of
stainless steel, and requires that system
water chemistry be within the limits in
this manual. ADDITIONAL CHEMICAL
TREATMENTMAYBENECESSARY. See
page119 for details.
• oroughly ush the system (BEFORE
connecting boiler) to remove sediment.
e high-eciency heat exchanger can
be damaged by build-up or corrosion
due to sediment.
• Do not use petroleum-based cleaning
or sealing compounds in boiler system.
Gaskets and seals in the system may be
damaged. is can result in substantial
property damage.
• Continual fresh make-up water will
reduce boiler life. Mineral buildup in
eat exchanger reduces heat transfer,
overheats the stainless steel heat
exchanger, and causes failure. Addition
of oxygen carried in by make-up water
can cause internal corrosion. Leaks in
boiler or piping must be repaired at once
to prevent make-up water. Use this boiler
ONLY in a closed-loop system.
• Do not add cold water to a hot boiler.
Thermal shock can cause the heat
exchanger to crack.
• NEVER use automotive or standard
glycol antifreeze. Use only freeze-
protection fluids made for hydronic
systems. Follow all guidelines given by
the antifreeze manufacturer. oroughly
clean and ush any replacement boiler
system that has used glycol before
installing the new boiler. Use only the
products listed by WM Technologies
for use with this boiler. See page 120
for details.
Frozen Water Damage
Hazard
Residences or buildings that are unattended
in severely cold weather, boiler system
components failures, power outages, or
other electrical system failures could
result in frozen plumbing and water
damage in a matter of hours. For your
protection, take preventative actions such
as having a security system installed that
operates during power outages, senses
low temperature, and initiates an eective
action. Consult with your boiler contractor
or a home security agency.

Otherwise, by operating this boiler, you will
cause a re or explosion hazard, and an electrical
shock hazard, leading to serious injury, death, or
substantial property damage. See the instructions
at right.
Saltwater Damage — The exposure of boiler components to
saltwater can have both immediate and long-term eects. While
the immediate eects of saltwater damage are similar to those of
freshwater (shorting out of electrical components, washing out
of critical lubricants, etc.), the salt and other contaminants left
behind can lead to longer term issues aer the water is gone due to
the conductive and corrosive nature of the salt residue. erefore,
Weil-McLain equipment contaminated with saltwater or polluted
water will no longer be covered under warranty and should be replaced.
ElectricalDamage — If any electricalcomponent or wiring came
into contact with water, or was suspected to have come into contact
with water, replace the boiler with a new Weil-McLain boiler.
When the boiler is installed within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts:
• is product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas tter.
• If antifreeze is used, a reduced pressure back-ow preventer device shall be used.
• Sidewall vent air installations — see instruction on page24.
Installer— Read all instructions, including this manual
and all other information shipped with the boiler,
before installing. Perform steps in the order given.
User— is manual is for use only by a qualied
heating installer/service technician. Refer to User’s
Information Manual for your reference.
User — Have this boiler serviced/inspected by a
qualied service technician, at least annually.
Failure to comply with the above could result in severe
personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Write in the Consumer Protection (CP) number in the
space provided on the Installation certicate on page173
if not already shown.
When calling or writing about the boiler— Please have
the boiler model number from the boiler rating label
and the CP number from the boiler jacket.
Consider piping and installation when determining
boiler location.
Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be
led immediately against the transportation company
by the consignee.
