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 neighbor’s 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 the gas supplier.

Failure to adhere to the guidelines on this page can result in se-

vere personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

Boiler service and maintenance —

• To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply before per-

forming maintenance.

• Toavoidsevereburns,allow boiler to cool beforeperformingmain-

tenance.

• You must maintain the boiler as outlined in the manual and have the

boiler started up and serviced at least annually by a qualified

service technician to ensure boiler/system reliability.

Boiler operation —

•Do not block flow of combustion or ventilation airtoboiler.This

boiler is equipped with a control which will automatically shut down

the boiler should air or vent be blocked. If vent or air blockage is

easily accessible and removable, remove it. The boiler should attempt

to restart within an hour. If blockage is not obvious or cannot be re-

moved,have the boiler and system checked by a qualified service tech-

nician.

• Should overheating occur or gas supply fail to shut off, do not

turn off or disconnect electrical supply to pump. Instead, shut off

the gas supplyatalocationexternal to the appliance.

•Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water.Immedi-

ately call a qualified service technician to inspect the boiler and to

replace any part of the control system and any gas control, which has

been under water.

•Have the building monitored when it is vacant for an extended

period. Safety controls can shut down the boiler at any time. The loss

of heat can result in significant damage due to freezing.

Boiler water —

• DO NOT use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in

boiler system.Water seal deterioration will occur, causing leakage be-

tween sections and damage to heating system components. This can

result in substantial property damage.

• DO NOT use "homemade cures" or "boiler patent medicines".

Serious damage to boiler, personnel and/or property may result.

• Continualfreshmakeup water will reduce boiler life.Mineralbuild-

up in sections reduces heat transfer, overheats cast iron, and causes

section failure. Addition of oxygen and other gases can cause internal

corrosion. Leaks in boiler or piping must be repaired at once to pre-

vent makeup water.

•Do not add cold water to hot boiler.Thermalshockcancausesec-

tions to crack.

The boiler should be inspected and started annually, at the beginning of

the heating season, only by a qualified service technician. In addition, the

maintenanceandcareoftheboilerdesignatedonpage5andexplainedon

the following pages must be performed to assure maximum boiler effi-

ciency and reliability. Failure to service and maintain the boiler and sys-

tem could result in equipment failure, causing possible severe personal

injury, death or substantial property damage.

The following information provides detailed instructions for completing

the maintenance items listed in the maintenance schedule, page 5. In ad-

dition to this maintenance, the boiler must be serviced and started up at

the beginning of each heating season by a qualified service technician.

Check air openingsCheck air openings

Check air openings

1. Verify that combustion and ventilation air open-

ings to the boiler room and/or building are open

and unobstructed.

2. Verify that boiler vent discharge and air intake are

clean and free of obstructions. Remove any debris

on the air intake or flue exhaust openings.

To prevent potential of severe personal injury, death

orsubstantial property damage, eliminate all materials

discussed below from the boiler vicinity. If contami-

stalled).

1. Combustible/flammable materials —Do not store

combustible materials, gasoline or any other flam-

mable vapors or liquids near the boiler. Remove

How the boiler works . . .

①Control module

The control module responds to signals from the room thermostat, air pressure switch and

boiler limit circuit to operate the boiler circulator, pilot burner, gas valve and inducer.When

room thermostat calls for heat, the control module starts the system circulator and inducer.

The control module runs the inducer long enough to purge the boiler flue passages, then

opens the pilot valve and activates pilot ignition spark.

The control module allows up to 15 seconds to establish pilot flame. If flame is not sensed

within 15 seconds, the control module will turn off the gas valve, flash the Flame light, and

then enter a 15-second postpurge. The control module will then start a new cycle. This will

continueindefinitely until pilot flame isestablished or power is interrupted.Once pilot flame

is proven, the control module opens the gas valve to allow main burner flame.

When the room thermostat is satisfied, the control module turns off the gas valve, operates

the inducer for a 15-second postpurge and waits for the next heat call.

The control module indicator lights show normal sequence when the lights are on steady.

When a problem occurs, the control module flashes combinations of lights to indicate the

most likely reason for the problem.

②Transformer

The control transformer reduces line voltage to 24 volts for the gas valve and limit circuit.

③Inducer

The inducer pulls flue gases through the boiler, causing air to be pulled in through the air

intake opening. The inducer pushes the flue gases through the vent pipe as well.

④Air pressure switch

The air pressure switch signals the control module, telling the control module whether air is

moving through the inducer.

⑤Water temperature limit switch

The water temperature limit switch turns off the gas valve if the temperature in the boiler

goes above its setting. (The circulator will continue to run as long as there is a call for heat.)

⑥Boiler circulator

The boiler circulator circulates water through the external (system) piping. NOTE —The

control module provides a pump exercising routine. If the boiler is not operated for 30 days,

the control module will power the circulator for 30 seconds, then off.
