Gas-Fired Water Boilers WM97+70/110/155 - CT Boiler Manual • Installation • Maintenance • Startup • Parts Now available Matching High Performance Companion Water Heater (Unit sold separately) This manual must only be used by a qualified heating installer/service technician. Read all instructions, includ- ing this manual and all other information shipped with the boiler, before installing. Perform steps in the order given. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
