B. Maintenance
1. On a continuous basis:
• Keeptheareaaroundtheboilerfreefrom
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
ammablevaporsandliquids.
• Keeptheareaaroundthecombustionairinlet
terminal and the area around the boiler free
from contaminants, including all sources of
hydrocarbons such as bleaches, fabric softeners,
chemicals, sprays, cleaners, paints, paint
removers, refrigerants, and cat boxes. Traces
of these chemicals can be drawn into the boiler,
causing severe corrosion damage to the boiler
and/or objectionable odors.
A. General
1. This manual covers the proper care and use of
theAlpine™CondensingHighEfciencyGasFired
Boiler.
2. Instructions to safely operate and shut down
thisboilerareshowninFigure2onpage5,aswell
asonalabelafxedtotheboiler.Controllocations
showninFigure1.
3. Flame Failure: The boiler control will shut
offgastotheburnerintheeventofamefailure.
Ifboilerfailstore,callaqualiedgasservice
technician to diagnose and correct the problem.
4. Combustion Air/Vent System Blockage: The
boiler control will shut down the burner if there is
a blockage in the combustion air or vent pipe such
asabee’snestorice.Ifboilerfailstore,calla
qualiedgasservicetechniciantodiagnoseand
correct the problem. After removing a blockage, it
may be necessary to press the control reset button to
restart the boiler.
WARNING
Asphyxiation Hazard. In the event that the
ignition system on an Alpine boiler does
not permit the boiler to re, there is either a
problem with the ignition system or a problem
with the vent system. Call a qualied gas
service technician to diagnose and correct
the problem.
A shutdown of the burner due to the pressure
switch is an indication that there is a problem
with the vent system, such as a blockage. The
boiler pressure switch should only be reset
after a qualied gas service technician has
diagnosed and corrected the venting problem
that caused the pressure switch to open.
• Keeptheboilerroomventilationopeningsopen
and unobstructed.
• Donotexposetheboilertolargeamountsofdust
such as that generated by drywall construction or
woodworking.
2. On a monthly basis:
WARNING
If any of the below listed conditions is found,
follow instructions “TO TURN OFF GAS TO
APPLIANCE” in Figure 2 and contact a qualied
gas service technician to correct the problem
before placing the boiler back in service. Failure
to correct these conditions could result in
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
• Inspectventandcombustionairintaketerminals
for obstruction or damage due to impact or
excessive temperature.
• Inspectventandcombustionairexteriorwall
penetrations to be sure they are weather tight.
• Inspecttheventandcombustionairintake
system for obstructions, loose joints, condensate
leakage, sags in horizontal runs of pipe,
corrosion, or other deterioration.
• Inspectwaterandgaslinesforleaks.
• Removeboilerfrontdoorandinspectforcarbon
(soot) in or near the burner compartment,
condensate drain leaks or blockage, or
deterioration of the visible controls, wiring, or
sheet metal components.
• Inspectamefortrueyellowtipping.Adjust
thermostat to highest setting to turn on boiler and
viewamesthroughobservationglasswithfront
doorremoved.Onhighretheameshouldbe
stable and mostly blue. No true yellow tipping
shouldbepresent,howeverintermittentecksof
yellowandorangeintheamecausedbydustin
airarenormal.SeeFigure3.Iftheburnerame
looks satisfactory, adjust thermostat to normal
setting and reinstall boiler front door.
3. On an annual basis:haveaqualiedgasservice
technician perform a more detailed inspection
of the burner, heat exchanger, controls, and vent
systemandprovidemaintenanceasspeciedinthe
Installation, Operating, and Service Instructions.
