• Inner tank must be completely filled and pressurized before pres-
surizing outer tank.
• Never use water heater unless inner and outer tanks are completely filled
with water.
For proper operation of the water heater, always leave vent cap unscrewed
one full turn.
The boiler-side piping must be equipped with a diaphragm- or bladder-
type expansion tank, NOT a closed-type expansion tank.
. Follow instructions furnished with boiler to fill with water.
. When tank is full, air will stop escaping, and air vent will close. If air vent does not seat
properly (i.e., water leaks out), remove cap “A”. Briefly push in valve “B” (see above) and
release it to clean valve seat. Screw cap “A” on completely, then unscrew one turn.
. If antifreeze is used in boiler water, check concentration. Boiler water (including addi-
tives) must be practically non-toxic, having a toxicity rating of Class 1, as listed in Clinical
Toxicology of Commercial Products. Inhibited propylene glycol is recommended. Follow
antifreeze manufacturer’s instructions.
