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 qualied 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 qualied service agency
to provide annual maintenance as specied in the

Installation, Operating and Service Instructions.

Service on this boiler should be undertaken only
by trained and skilled personnel from a qualied
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 qualied service agency.

Do not reset Block Vent Switch unless a qualied
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 qualied 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.
