chamber.

WARNING
All boiler cleaning must be completed with burner service switch turned off.  
WARNING
The  boiler  must  be  connected  to  an  approved 
chimney  in  good  condition.    Serious  property 
damage  could  result  if  the  boiler  is  connected 
to a dirty or inadequate chimney.  The interior of 
the chimney flue must be inspected and cleaned 
before  the  start  of  the  heating  season  and 
should be inspected periodically throughout the 
heating season for any obstructions.  A clean and 
unobstructed chimney flue is necessary to allow 
noxious  fumes  that  could  cause  injury  or  loss 
of  life  to  vent  safely  and  will  contribute  toward 
maintaining the boiler's efficiency.
