FTHW Wall-Mounted Gas Condensing Heating Only Boiler
FOR YOUR SAFETY : This product must be installed and serviced by a professional service technician, qualified in hot water boiler and heater installation and maintenance. Improper installation and/or operation could create carbon monoxide gas in flue gases which could cause serious injury, property damage, or death. Improper installation and/or operation will void the warranty.
WARNING
If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion
may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
- Do not try to light any appliance.
- Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
- Immediately call your gas supplier from a nearby phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
- If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or gas supplier.

The FT, Heating Only, Boiler
Shown is the FT Heating Only 140 MBH.
All sizes are very similar in component layout.
Caring For Your FT
Your FT will require very little maintenance.
However, as with any fine appliance there are certain steps that should be
taken to ensure continuing optimum performance.
General Care
Keep the area around the FT clean and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable liquids and vapors.
The FT must be completely isolated and protected from any source of corrosive
chemical fumes such as trichlorethylene, perchlorethylene, chlorine, etc.
Keep bottom and top openings on the boiler free for proper ventilation of
interior components.
Do not obstruct or block a free flow of air to the boiler to ensure proper
ventilation.
If desired, clean the jacket surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do
not use flammable cleaning materials.
If sidewall vented, keep the vent terminal clear of obstructions — do not
allow snow to cover the vent terminal. Clean the intake screen often, and then
develop an appropriate maintenance schedule.
Annual Inspection of Flue and Vents
Visually inspect the vent pipe once a year. Should any deterioration exist,
have the affected parts replaced by a qualified service person.
In the Event of a Power Failure
The FT can not be operated during an electrical power outage. If there is an
extended power outage with danger from freezing, then the FT (and all other
water systems) should be drained completely. When draining the boiler, turn
off main electrical disconnect switch. When placing back in service, refer to
Section 3 of this Manual for instruction. All draining and filling must only
be done by a qualified service person.
Full Service Every Year
In addition to the annual visual inspections, a qualified service agency
should conduct a detailed inspection of all flue product carrying areas of the
boiler and its venting system.
Shutting Down the FT
- Turn off the main electrical disconnect switch.
- Close all manual gas valves.
- If freezing is anticipated, drain the FT and be sure to also protect building piping from freezing. All water must be removed from heat exchanger and condensate trap or else damage from freezing may occur. Please refer to the Install and Operating Manual.
This step to be performed by a qualified service person.
The Control Display and Operation
The Control Display has a Control Dial (E), 4 buttons (A, B, C, D), and a Liquid Crystal Display (with 72 back-lit segments). This section of this manual gives instruction on how to navigate into the many functions of the FT and to change temperature set points, set system variables and controller parameters.

Operating Mode
After the Power is turned on, and/or the Control Display is turned on , the
Control Display will go through a ‘Start Up’ checklist and briefl y show a
sequence of diagnostic codes before entering into the ‘Operating Mode. It will
then display the following information.
