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 / 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: See Section 1, Figures 1-1 and 1-2. If the Munchkin is set up for liquefied petroleum (LP) gas, some geographic areas foll

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 Figures 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3 (this section).

GAS CONNECTION PART 3. GAS CONNECTION WARNING Failure to follow all precautions could result in fire, explosion or death! 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 3.5" 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 plat

GAS CONNECTION It is recommended that a soapy solution be used to detect leaks. Bubbles will appear on the pipe to indicate a leak is present. The gas piping must be sized for the proper flow and length of pipe, to avoid pressure drop. Both the gas meter and the gas regulator must be properly sized for the total gas load. If you experience a pressure drop greater than 1" WC, the meter, regulator or gas line is undersized or in need of service. You can attach a manometer to the incoming gas drip

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
