The following terms are used throughout this manual to bring attention to the presence of hazards of various risk levels.
Refractory Ceramic Fiber Product
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in death, serious injury
or substantial property damage.
Important Product Safety Information
The Repair Parts list designates parts that contain refractory ceramic fibers
(RCF). RCF has been classified as a possible human carcinogen. When
exposed to temperatures above 1805°F, such as during direct flame contact,
RCF changes into crystalline silica, a known carcinogen. When disturbed as a
result of servicing or repair, these substances become airborne and, if inhaled,
may be hazardous to your health.
AVOID Breathing Fiber Particulates and Dust
Precautionary Measures:
Do not remove or replace RCF parts or attempt any service or repair work
involving RCF without wearing the following protective gear:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in moderate or minor
injury or property damage.
1. A National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
approved respirator
2. Long sleeved, loose fitting clothing
3. Gloves
4. Eye Protection
• Take steps to assure adequate ventilation.
• Wash all exposed body areas gently with soap and water after contact.
• Wash work clothes separately from other laundry and rinse washing
machine after use to avoid contaminating other clothes.
• Discard used RCF components by sealing in an airtight plastic bag. RCF
and crystalline silica are not classified as hazardous wastes in the United
States and Canada.
First Aid Procedures:
• If contact with eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek
immediate medical attention if irritation persists.
• If contact with skin: Wash affected area gently with soap and water.
Seek immediate medical attention if irritation persists.
• If breathing difficulty develops: Leave the area and move to a location
with clean fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention if breathing
difficulties persist.
• Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Drink plenty of water. Seek
immediate medical attention.

Basic Operation
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 I'admission de gaz ne peut étre coupée, ne pas couper ni débrancher
l'alimentation électrique de la pompe. Fermer plutôt le robinet d'admission de gaz à l'extérieur de
I'appareil.
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.
A. General This boiler is equipped with controls for
proper operation. All controls must be in proper
working order. Contact a qualied service agency
to provide annual maintenance as specied in the
Installation, Operating and Service Instructions.
Service on this boiler should be undertaken only
by trained and skilled personnel from a qualied
service agency.
1. Limit See Figure 1. A device which automatically
interrupts boiler operation when the water
temperature exceeds the set point. Maximum
allowable boiler water temperature is 250°F. Switch
differential is 30°F.
2. Blocked Vent Switch See Figure 1. A device
which automatically interrupts boiler operation
when excessive vent system blockage occurs. If the
control was activated to interrupt boiler operation,
do not attempt to place boiler in operation. Contact
a qualied service agency.
Do not reset Block Vent Switch unless a qualied
service agency has determined and corrected
the cause of any blockage in the vent system or
chimney.
3. Flame Rollout Switch See Figure 1. A device
which automatically interrupts boiler operation
when ames or excessive heat are present in the
vestibule. The control is a single use device. If the
control was activated to interrupt boiler operation,
do not attempt to place boiler in operation. Contact
a qualied service agency.
4. 24-Volt Continuous Ignition System (Standing
Pilot). See Figure 1. The Continuous Ignition
System consists of:
a. a combination gas valve to regulate gas ow to
burners.
b. a constant burning pilot burner to provide the
ignition source for main burners.
c. a thermocouple to sense pilot burner ame and
cause gas control valve to turn off main burner
and pilot burner gas ow should pilot burner
ame extinguish.
5. 24-Volt Intermittent Ignition System (EI). See
Figure 1. The Electronic Ignition System consists of:
a. an ignition module to initiate, monitor and stop
burner operation.
b. a combination gas valve to regulate gas ow to
burners.
c. a pilot burner to provide the ignition source for
main burners.
6. 120-Volt Intermittent Ignition (EP). See Figure 2.
The Intermittent Ignition System consists of:
a. an automatic main gas valve to regulate gas ow
to burners.
b. an automatic pilot gas valve to regulate gas ow
to the pilot burner.
c. a pilot burner to provide the ignition source for
main burners.
d. an ignition transformer to provide the ignition
source for the pilot burner.
e. a ame sensor to electronically monitor pilot
ame and cause gas control valve to turn off
main burner and pilot burner gas ow should
pilot burner ame extinguish.
B. Instructions to place boiler in operation and to turn
off boiler are shown on the Lighting or Operating
Instruction label posted on the inside of the front
removable door. See Figure 3 for front door removal
instructions. Lighting and Operating Instructions are
also shown in Figures 4 thru 6. Lighting and Operating
Instructions vary with the type of control system
furnished. Refer to Table 1 for the appropriate Figure.

User Maintenance
Service on this boiler should be undertaken only by trained and skilled personnel from a qualied service
agency. Inspections should be performed at intervals specied in Installation, Operating and Service
Instructions and this manual. Maintain manuals in a legible condition.
Keep boiler area clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids.
Do not place any obstructions in boiler room that will hinder ow of combustion and ventilation air.
A. General Housekeeping (Continuous).
1. Keep boiler area clear and free of combustible
materials and obstructions to the free ow of
combustion and ventilation air to the boiler.
2. Do not store or use gasoline or other ammable
vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the boiler or any
other appliance.
3. Do not store or use sources of hydrocarbons in
the vicinity of the boiler. Sources of hydrocarbons
include bleaches, cleaners, chemicals, sprays, paint
removers, fabric softeners, cat litter and refrigerants.
B. Inspect Vent System (Monthly). See Figure 7. Follow
instructions TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE
(see Figures 4 thru 6) and contact a qualied service
agency if any of the following conditions are found:
1. Collapsed vent pipe
2. Disconnected or loose joints
3. Sags in horizontal runs
4. Corrosion or other deterioration
5. Broken or loose supports
6. Blocked vent switch not attached to draft hood.
C. Inspect Pilot and Main Burner Flame (Monthly).
1. Adjust thermostat to lowest setting.
2. Remove front removable panel. See Figure 3.
3. Adjust thermostat to highest setting.
4. Check pilot burner ame through observation port.
See Figures 8 through 11 for appropriate pilot burner
illustration. The center ame should be steady,
medium hard blue enveloping 3/8 to 1/2 inch of
thermocouple. If ames are yellow and lazy, follow
instructions TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE
(see appropriate Figure as listed in Table 1) and
contact qualied service agency.
5. Check main burner ames through observation port.
See Figure 11. Flame should have clearly dened
inner cones with no yellow tipping. Orange-yellow
streaks caused by dust should not be confused with
true yellow tipping. If yellow ames are observed,
follow instructions TO TURN OFF GAS TO
APPLIANCE (see appropriate gure as listed in
Table 1) and contact qualied service agency.
6. Adjust thermostat to normal setting.
D. Schedule Inspection by Qualied Service Agency
(Annual or at Beginning of Heating Season). For
continued safe operation a qualied service agency
must provide a more detailed inspection of burners, heat
exchanger and vent system, and provide maintenance
as specied in Installation, Operating and Service
Instructions.
