AVERTISSEMENT: Si cette informa-
tion utilisateurs manuel n'a pas suivi exactement,
un incendie ou une explosion peut entraîner des
dommages matériels, des blessures ou la mort
Ne pas entreposer ni utiliser d’essence ni d'autres
vapeurs ou liquides inammables dans le voisinage
de cet appareil ou de tout autre appareil.
QUE FAIRE SI VOUS SENTEZ UNE ODEUR DE GAZ:
• Ne pas tenter d’allumer d’appareils.
• Ne touchez à aucun interrupteur. Ne pas vous servir
des téléphones dans le bâtiment où vous vous
trouvez.
• Appelez immédiatement votre fournisseur de
gaz depuis un voisin. Suivez les instructions du
fournisseur.

appelez le service des incendies.
L’installation et l’entretien doivent être assurés par un
installateur ou un service d’entretien qualié ou par le
fournisseur de gaz.
A. System Start Up
1. Verify that the pump system is operating
properly.
a. Shut off the manual gas valve.
b. Set the wall thermostat to a setting high
enough to call for heat.
c. The pump should come on immediately. If
it doesn’t, have a service technician test the
electrical circuits.
H2360400B
2. Light the pilot.
a. The BJVS boiler does not require manual
lighting. The pilot is controlled by the
automatic ignition system.
b. Different models of the JV boiler utilize
various gas valves. Although the gas valves
may have different control knobs, they are
all similar in operation. The gas valve has a
two-position knob - On and Off.

Important: When lighting or relighting, wait the
full 5 minutes specied in the lighting instructions.
Unburned gases can accumulate in the re box and
may ash back. Allow ample time for natural air
movement to clear the gases from the chamber before
lighting or relighting.
Relighting - All Models:
1. Turn off electrical power to the boiler.
2. Turn the gas valve knob clockwise to Off.
3. Wait ve minutes.
4. Turn the gas valve knob counterclockwise to On.
5. Restore power to the boiler, and set the
thermostat to the desired temperature. The
pilot will automatically ignite when there is
a call for heat.
Circulator Pump:
In normal operation, the pump is energized by the wall
thermostat via the pump relay supplied with the boiler.
Caution: Hazard of electrical shock!
Disconnect power to the boiler before
servicing the relay or transformer.
B. System Shut Down
1. Turn off power to the boiler and set the
thermostat to the lowest setting.
2. Turn the gas valve knob (clockwise for JVS) or
switch to the Off position.
3. Whenever danger of freezing exists, shut off the
water supply, remove the drain plugs in the left
side of the heater and open the drain valve on the
right side. Drain every part of the system which
might be subject to freezing temperatures.
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail
to shut off, do not turn off or disconnect the electrical
supply to the pump. Instead, shut off the gas supply at
a location external to the appliance.
En cas de surchauffe ou si l'admission de gas
ne peut être coupée, ne pas couper ni débrancher
l'alimentation électrique de la pompe. Fermer plutôt le
robinet d'admission de gas à l'extérieur de l'appareil.
C. Maintenance
1. Lubricate the water circulating pump according
to the instructions found on the pump.
2. If a strainer is employed in a pressure reducing
valve or in the piping, clean it every six months.
3. At start-up and periodically thereafter, the ame
should be observed for proper performance. If
the ame has “sooting” tips, check for debris
near the orices. If this continues, call a service
technician.
4. Ensure proper operation of the mechanical
damper, mounted in the ue collar, by observing
the damper handle. Be sure the handle swings
when the draft inducer starts. Depending on the
boiler size, the swing may be as little as 30°.
Remove any obstructions and clean around the
pivot rod (handle) holes.
5. Inspect the venting system for obstructions,
leakage and corrosion at least once each year.
6. Keep the boiler area clear and free from
combustible material, gasoline and other
ammable vapors and liquids.
7. Be certain all combustion air and ventilation
openings are unobstructed.
8. Check for fouling on the external surfaces of the
heat exchanger every six months.
Fouling on the external surfaces of the heat
exchanger is caused by incomplete combustion
and is a sign of combustion air and/or venting
problems. As soon as any fouling is observed, the
cause of the fouling should be corrected.
The heat exchanger can be checked using a
ashlight by locating a mirror under the burners.
An alternate method is to remove the venting and
top panel as necessary to inspect from above.
Also, check the vent system for defects at this
time.

NOTE: After installation and rst start-up, check
the heat exchanger for fouling after the following
periods of operation:
24 hours 30 days
7 days 90 days+
Then once every six months thereafter.
Figure 4 - Pilot Arrangements
1) Pilot
2) Main burner ame pattern
If cleaning is required:
a. Shut off all power to the boiler.
b. Expose the heat exchanger by removing the
draft hood (when equipped), and venting, top
assembly, ue collector, and heat exchanger
bafes.
c. Remove the burners by lifting them off the
orices and pulling them out of the boiler.
d. Use a hand-operated spray bottle lled with
water and a wire brush to clean any soot and
loose scale from the underside of the heat
exchanger. Do not use compressed air, high
pressure water or a garden hose.
e. Clean any fallen debris from the bottom of the
unit.
f. Check to make sure that the burner ports
and pilot assembly are free of debris before
returning the burners to their original
positions.
g. Reassemble the boiler in reverse order, making
sure to replace the heat exchanger bafes.
9. The gas and electric controls installed on the
boiler are engineered for both dependable
operation and long life, but the safety of this
equipment completely depends on their proper
functioning. For this reason, it is strongly
recommended that the basic items be checked by
a competent service technician every year and
replaced when necessary.
in Section 8D of the Installation and Operating
Instructions (Document number 1254) to ensure
that all possible causes have been investigated
and corrected. If the problem continues and the
boiler cannot be restored to normal operation call
a qualied service agency.
11. The ame rollout safety switch provides
additional safety, and will shut down the boiler
should the ame from the main burners rollout
(ashback) towards the main gas valve. Before
resetting the ame rollout switch, see Section 8D
of the Installation and Operating Instructions,
(Document H2355800) to ensure that all possible
causes have been investigated and corrected.
If the problem continues and the boiler cannot
be restored to normal operation call a qualied
service agency. Never attempt to bypass the
ame roll-out safety switch for the purpose of
operating the boiler.
Do not use this boiler if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualied service
technician to inspect the boiler and to replace any
part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
12. Check all heat exchanger water connections,
ange or header gaskets for water tight integrity
24 hours after commissioning. If there are any
signs of water leakage, re-torque fasteners or reseat threaded connections as necessary
The basic controls are:
a. Water temperature controls
b. Pilot safety system
c. Automatic electric gas valve(s)
d. Flue or vent damper
10. The blocked vent safety switch is used to shut
the boiler down in the case of insufcient draft
due to venting system problems. Before resetting
the blocked vent safety switch see the Appendix
Note: The warranty does not cover any damage
caused by lack of required maintenance or
improper operating procedures.
