GENERAL INFORMATION PART 1. GENERAL INFORMATION A. HOW IT OPERATES When the room thermostat calls for heat, the Munchkin control board will start the circulator and start to monitor the return temperature of the system before the heater will begin to heat the water. Once the controller has sensed a drop in the return water temperature below the temperature set point minus the differential set point, the heater will start to heat the water. This eliminates the Munchkin starting every time the th

GENERAL INFORMATION DIMENSIONS Figure 1-2 C. PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS The Munchkin is designed for installation on non-rated flooring, in alcoves, basements, utility rooms, and closet but never a bedroom closet. Choose a location for your Munchkin, centralized to the piping system, along with consideration for Electrical (Part 2, Page 6), Gas Connection (Part 3, Page 8) and Venting (Part 4, Page 11). 5

GENERAL INFORMATION / ELECTRICAL CAUTION The Munchkin is certified as an indoor appliance. Do not install the Munchkin outdoors or locate where it will be exposed to freezing temperature. This includes all related piping and components. If the Munchkin is subjected to flood water or submersed in water, the Munchkin must be replaced. NOTE: Service clearance of the Munchkin 1. The front of the appliance needs 24" of clearance for service minimum. It may have a non-rated or combustible door or ac

ELECTRICAL CAUTION Electrical wiring on the Incoming Power and Central Heating Circulator shall be connected directly to the intended connection source and not be connected together inside the electric box provided. An Electrical Short will result and the Control board will have to be replaced! If Electrical Requirements of the Central Heating Circulator exceeds 4 amps (or 3 amps on HA models only) please follow the wiring diagrams on Page 8, Figures 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3.

GAS CONNECTION A. GAS CONNECTION The gas supply shall have a maximum inlet pressure of less than 14" water column (350 mm), ½ pound pressure (3.5 kPa), and a minimum of 7" water column. The entire piping system, gas meter and regulator must be sized properly to prevent pressure drop greater than 0.5" as stated in the National Fuel Gas Code. This information is listed on the rating plate. It is very important that you are connected to the type of gas as noted on the rating plate. "LP" for liquef

If an in-line regulator is used, it must be a minimum of 10 feet from the Munchkin. It is very important that the gas line is prop- erly purged by the gas supplier or utility. Failure to properly purge the lines or improper line siz- ing, will result in ignition failure. This problem is especially noticeable in NEW LP i

VENTING CAUTION The following are code restrictions for the location of the flue gas vent terminal. Compliance to these requirements doesn’t insure a satisfactory installation; good common sense must also be applied. It is important to make sure that exhaust gases are not recirculated into the inlet air of the Munchkin. The inlet pipe on the back of the cabinet should be 4" PVC schedule 40. It is very important that you plan the location properly to eliminate long pipe runs and excessive fitti

VENTING / PIPING E. CONDENSATE REQUIREMENTS This is a condensing high efficiency appliance, therefore this unit has a condensate removal system. Condensate is nothing more than water vapor, derived from the combustion products, similar to an automobile when it is initially started. It is very important that the condensate line is sloped away from and down to a suitable inside drain, if the condensate outlet on the Munchkin is lower than the drain, you must use a condensate removal pump (kit ava
