WM97+ Gas-fired water boiler — User’s Information Manual
STOP!! — Read before proceeding
Failure to adhere to the guidelines on this page can result in severe personal
injury, death or substantial property damage.
Boiler service and maintenance —
• To avoid electric shock,disconnect electrical
supply before performing maintenance.
• Toavoidsevereburns,allow boiler to cool before
performing maintenance.
• You must maintain the boiler as outlined in the
manual and have the boiler started up and ser-
viced at least annually by a qualified ser-
vice technician to ensure boiler/system reliability.
Boiler operation —
• Do not block flow of combustion or ventilation air to
boiler. This boiler is equipped with a control which
will automatically shut down the boiler should air or
vent be blocked. If vent or air blockage is easily ac-
cessible and removable, remove it. The boiler should
attempt to restart within an hour. If blockage is not
obvious or cannot be removed, have the boiler and
system checked by a qualified service technician.
Combustion air —
• DO NOT obstruct the combustion air intake or
expose the air intake to corrosive chemicals
(see next page).
Carbon monoxide detector —
• A carbon monoxide detector that is wired on the
same electrical circuit as the boiler is strongly recom-
mended.
Boiler water —
• Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing
compounds in boiler system. Gaskets and seals in the
system may be damaged. This can result in substantial
property damage.
• Leaks in boiler or piping must be repaired
at once to prevent make-up water. Use this
boiler ONLY in a closed-loop system. Con-
tinual fresh make-up water will reduce boiler life.
Mineral buildup in heat exchangers reduces heat
transfer, overheats the materials, and causes failure.
Addition of oxygen carried in by make-up water can
cause internal corrosion.
• Do not add cold water to hot boiler. Thermal
shock can cause heat exchanger to crack.
Freeze protection fluids —
• NEVER use automotive or standard glycol antifreeze.
Use only freeze-protection fluids made for hydronic
systems. Follow all guidelines given by the antifreeze
manufacturer. Thoroughly clean and flush any re-
placement boiler system that has used glycol before
installing the new boiler.
Have this boiler serviced/
inspected by a qualified
service technician, at least
annually.
Failure to comply with the above
could result in severe personal
injury, death or substantial prop-
erty damage.
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.
• 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.
• Do not use this boiler 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 that has been
under water.
