1.5) AIR FOR COMBUSTION
WARNING
Poisonous carbon monoxide gas hazard.
Comply with ANSI/NFPA (in the U.S.A.) or CSA (in
Canada) standards for the installation of Oil
Burning Equipment and applicable provisions of
local building codes to provide combustion and
ventilation air.
Failure to provide adequate combustion and
ventilation air can result in death and/or personal
injury.
1.5.1) General
Oil furnaces must have an adequate supply of combustion air. It is
common practice to assume that older homes have sufficient
infiltration to accommodate the combustion air requirement for the
furnace. However, home improvements such as new windows,
and weather stripping have drastically reduced the volume of air
infiltration into the home.
Home air exhausters are common. Bathroom and kitchen fans, power
vented clothes dryers, and water heaters all tend to create negative
pressure in the home. Should this occur, the chimney becomes less
and less effective and can easily downdraft.
Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) systems are gaining in popularity.
HRVs are not designed to supply combustion air. If not properly
balanced, a serious negative pressure condition could develop in the
dwelling.
1.5.2) Contaminated Combustion Air
Installation in certain areas or types of structures will increase the
exposure to chemicals or halogens which may harm the furnace.
These instances will require that only outside air be used for
combustion.
The following areas or types of structures may contain or have
exposure to the substances listed below. The installation must be
carefully evaluated, as it may be necessary to provide outside air for
combustion.
a. Commercial buildings;
b. Buildings with indoor pools;
c. Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas.

Exposure to these substances:
445 01 4054 06
a. Permanent wave chemicals for hair;
b. Chlorinated waxes and cleaners;
c. Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals;
d. Water softening chemicals;
e. De-icing salts or chemicals;
f. Carbon tetrachloride;
g. Halogen type refrigerants;
h. Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene);
i. Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.;
j. Hydrochloric acid;
k. Solvent based glue;
l. Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers;
m. Acid based masonry cleaning materials.
1.5.3) Ducted outdoor combustion air
Outdoor combustion air kit – chimney venting
The following kits have been certified for use with the appliance. The
component kits contain an important safety feature, namely a Vacuum
Relief Valve or VRV. During normal operation the burner aspirates
outdoor air. If the intake terminal ever becomes partially or fully
blocked from ice or snow etc., the VRV will open to allow a proportion
of air from the dwelling to enter the burner, thus maintaining proper
combustion. Once the blockage is removed, the VRV will close and
the burner will draw all the air from the outside again:
CAS-2B
Components for the Beckett AFG burner (except air duct): The kit
includes the intake terminal, vacuum relief valve (VRV) and
boot connection with integral air adjustment means for the
burner. The CAS-2B can be used with a 10 cm (4") galvanized air duct
or a 10 cm (4") flexible aluminium air duct. It is recommended that the
metallic air ducting material be insulated from the air intake up to
1.5 m (5') from the burner to avoid condensation from forming on the
outside of the intake pipe.
CAD-1
Air duct kit consists of 7.6 m (25') of insulated UL/ULC Listed Class 1
air duct, and two 10 cm (4") steel band clamps. The duct incorporates
a corrugated flexible aluminium core, surrounded by fibreglass
insulation covered with a vinyl vapour barrier.
special air
AFG
CAUTION
The CAS-2B does not turn the furnace installation into a
direct vent system. Therefore the building structure
must provide for adequate combustion air to be
delivered to the Vacuum Relief Valve. The burner will
need to draw combustion air from the VRV’s
surroundings if the intake ever becomes blocked.
Therefore, non-direct vent installation codes must be
followed.
Comprehensive installation instructions are provided with the kits.
1.6) OIL TANKS AND LINES
Check your local codes for the installation of the tank and accessories.
A manual shut-off valve and an oil filter shall be installed in sequence
from tank to burner. Be sure that the oil line is clean before connecting
to the burner. The oil line should be protected to eliminate any
possible damage. Installations where the fuel oil tank is below the
burner level must employ a two pipe fuel supply system with an
appropriate fuel pump. A rise of more than 2.4 m (8') requires a 2
stage pump and more than 4.9 m (16') an auxiliary pump.
Follow the pump instructions to determine the size of tubing you need
in relation to the rise, or to the horizontal distance.
Inspect the entire oil distribution system for leaks at the beginning of
each annual heating season.

Checking the polarity
445 01 4054 06
The oil burners used on the furnaces have solid state control systems
that make them sensitive to the proper connections of the hot and
neutral power lines. The controls will be damaged if the two lines are
reversed.
1. Set your voltmeter to line voltage;
2. Place one prong on your grounded electric entry box and one
prong on the black wire;
3. Read the voltage;
4. If the voltage is zero, check the white wire. If line voltage shows.
Reverse the 115-volt leads entering the furnace junction box;
5. If you do not have a voltmeter, use a pilot light.
DNS-0864 Rev. A
Checking the Nozzle
The burner is equipped with the appropriate nozzle. However, if
another size or a replacement nozzle is required, use the
manufacturer’s recommended spray angle and type as shown in
Tables 3.1 to 3.4, p. 15 to 18. Note that all nozzle sizes are based on
a pump pressure of 100 psi.
Always select nozzle sizes by working back from the desired flow rate
at operating pressure, and not the nozzle marking.
Checking air and turbulator settings
Before starting the burner for the first time, adjust the air and turbulator
settings to those listed in the Tables 3.1 to 3.4, p. 15 to 18. Once the
burner becomes operational, final adjustment will be necessary.
Checking the fuel supply system
Fuel Specifications
NOTE: Use No.1 or No. 2 Heating Oil (ASTM D396) or in Canada
use No.1 or No. 2 Furnace Oil.
Before starting the burner, be sure that the fuel tank is filled with clean
oil.
FIGURE 2.1
IMPORTANT
When using nozzle sizes of less than 0.75 USGPH, the
Installation Code for oil burning equipment requires the
installation of a 10 micron (or finer) filter in the fuel oil
line. ICP requires that this practice be followed in order
to keep the lifetime heat exchanger warranty intact.
WARNING
Fire and explosion hazard.
Use only approved heating type oil in this furnace.
DO NOT USE waste oil, used motor oil, gasoline or
kerosene.
Use of these will result in property damage injury or
death.
NOTE: You may notice a slight odour the first time your furnace is
operated. This will soon disappear. It is only the oil used on certain
parts during manufacturing.
1.8) BLOCKED VENT SHUT-OFF (BVSO)

1.9.2) Ductwork and Filter
Installation
Design and install the air distribution system to comply with Air
Conditioning Contractors of America manuals or other approved
methods that conform to local codes and good trade practices.
When ducting supplies air to a space other than where the furnace is
located, the return-air ducts must be sealed and also be directed to
the space other than where the furnace is located.
Install the air conditioning cooling coil (evaporator) downstream from
the supply air plenum of the furnace. If a separate evaporator and
blower unit is used, install appropriate sealing dampers for air flow
control. Cold air from the evaporator coil going through the furnace
could cause condensation and shorten furnace life.
CAUTION
Dampers (purchased locally) MUST be automatic.
WARNING
Poisonous carbon monoxide gas hazard.
Do NOT draw return air from inside a closet or
utility room. Return air duct MUST be sealed to
furnace casing.
Failure to properly seal ducts can result in death,
personal injury and/or property damage.

CAUTION
Do not attempt to start the burner when excess oil has
accumulated, when the furnace is full of vapour, or
when the combustion chamber is very hot.
2.2.3) BVSO Performance Test
The purpose of the following test is to check that the electrical outlet
on the furnace, designated to the BVSO, is functional.
1. Start up the burner;
2. Remove the three-pole plug from the BVSO outlet on the
furnace;
3. The burner must shut-off immediately, while the blower continues
to run to the end of the cool-down cycle.
If the test is not in line with the above,CALL A QUALIFIED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.
2.2.4) Combustion chamber curing
Some moisture and binders remain in the ceramic combustion
chamber after manufacture. It is important to clear the chamber of this
residue before testing. If you smoke test before curing, the instrument
may become damaged. To cure the chamber, run the unit for 3
consecutive cycles, with 3 minutes of elapsed time in between each
cycle. Each burn cycle should least 3 minutes. The exhaust will have a
pungent odour and produce a white cloud of steam.
2.2.5) Smoke / CO2 test
1. Pierce a test hole in the smoke pipe near the furnace breech.

temperature from the supply air temperature;
5. If the temperature rise exceeds the temperature specified in
Tables 3.1 to 3.4, p. 15 to 18, change to the next higher blower
speed tap until the temperature rise falls to this temperature or
below. If the excessive temperature rise cannot be reduced by
increasing fan speed, investigate for ductwork restriction(s), dirty
or improper air filter, overfiring caused by excessive pump
pressure, or improper nozzle sizing.

2.2.7) Vent temperature test
445 01 4054 06
1. Place a thermometer in the test hole located in the breech pipe.
2. The vent temperature should be between 204°C to 302°C
(400°F to 575°F). If not, check for improper air temperature
rise, pump pressure, nozzle size, or for a badly sooted heat
exchanger.
2.2.8) Fan Limit adjustment and blower regulator
Modification of the “FAN ON” and “HI” Limit settings on the Fan Limit
and blower regulator can cause a malfunction of the furnace and carry
to premature wear of the heat exchanger.
CAUTION
Modification of the factory set limits will void the
warranty.
Preventive Maintenance
“Preventive maintenance” is the best way to avoid unnecessary
expense and inconvenience. Have your heating system and
burner inspected at regular intervals by a qualified service
technician.
After each annual inspection a complete combustion test must be
performed, in order to maintain optimum performance and reliability.
WARNING
Electrical shock hazard.
Turn OFF power to furnace before any disassembly
or servicing.
Failure to do so can result in property damage
injury and/or death.
Do not tamper with the unit or controls. Call a qualified service
technician.
Before calling for service, check the following :
a. Check oil tank gauge and check if the oil tank valve in oil is open;
b. Check fuse or circuit breaker;
c. Check if shut-off switch is “ON”;
d. Reset thermostat above room temperature;
e. If ignition does not occur turn off the disconnect switch and call a
qualified service technician.
When ordering replacement parts, specify the complete furnace
model number and serial number.
3.1.1) Heat exchanger cleaning
Ordinarily, it is not necessary to clean the heat exchanger or flue pipe
every year, but it is advisable to have your oil burner serviceman
check the unit before each heating season to determine whether
cleaning or replacement of parts is necessary.
If cleaning is necessary, the following steps should be performed:
1. Turn “OFF” all utilities upstream of the furnace;
2. Disconnect the flue pipe;
3. Remove the flue collar panel located at the rear part of the warm
air furnace;
4. Remove the radiator baffles;
5. Disconnect the oil line and remove the oil burner from the
furnace;
6. Clean the secondary tubes, and the primary cylinder with a stiff
brush and vacuum cleaner;
7. The heat exchanger and combustion chamber should be
inspected to determine if replacement is required before
re-assembling the unit;
8. After cleaning, replace the radiator baffles, flue collar plate and
oil burner;
9. Readjust burner for proper operation.
Soot will have collected in the first sections of the heat exchangers
only if the burner was started after the combustion chamber was
flooded with fuel oil, or if the burner has been operating in a severely
contaminated condition.
3.1.2) Refractory firepot
Remove the burner and check the firepot.
IMPORTANT
Use extreme care if cleaning of the pot is required. After
firing, the pot becomes very fragile. Do not use any
commercially available soot remover. This furnace has
a fibre type refractory combustion chamber. Normal
servicing of this unit does not require cleaning of the
combustion chamber.
IMPORTANT
Do not vacuum the ceramic chambers—they are easily
damaged.
If the pot is damaged, it must be replaced. A damaged pot could lead
to premature heat exchanger failure. Cracking of the firepot is normal,
however, replace the pot only if the cracks have propagated more
than ⅔ the way through the wall thickness. The average wall
thickness of the firepot is ¾".
Flooding of the firepot
Flooding can occur when the oil primary control has been reset a
number of times in a no-heat situation. Each time oil is fired into the
pot and does not ignite, it is absorbed into the pot. Even if the burner is
removed and the pot is felt for wetness, it is difficult to assess the
degree of oil absorption by the pot.
There is only one way to properly service a flooded firepot, and that is
to change it.
CAUTION
If you observe the red warning light on the burner, push
once ONLY to try and restart. If the burner will not start,
phone an authorized service technician. Do not press
the button again.

3.1.3) BLOCKED VENT SHUT-OFF (BVSO)
CLEANING
For continued safe operation, the Blocked Vent Shut-Off System
(BVSO) is required to be inspected and maintained annually by a
qualified agency.
1. Disconnect the power to the appliance;
2. Remove the two screws holding on the BVSO assembly cover;
3. Remove the cover;
4. Remove the two screws holding the control box to the heat
transfer tube assembly. Sliding the control box in the appropriate
direction will unlock it from the heat transfer tube assembly;
5. Carefully remove any build-up from the thermal switch surface;
CAUTION
Do not dent or scratch the surface of the thermal switch.
If the thermal switch is damaged, replacement is
required.
6. Clear and remove any build-up or obstruction inside the heat
transfer tube;
7. Re-mount, lock and fasten the control box with the 2 screws
removed in step 4;
8. Re-attach the assembly cover with the screws removed in step 2;
9. Re-establish power to the appliance.
3.1.4) Burner drawer assembly
Remove the drawer assembly. Clean all foreign matter from the
retention head and electrodes. If a Beckett AFG burner was installed,
the burner will have to be removed to check the retention head.
3.1.5) Nozzle
Replace the nozzle with the one specified in Tables 3.1 to 3.4, p. 15 to
18.
3.1.6) Oil filter
Tank filter
The tank filter should be replaced as required.
Secondary filter
The 10 micron (or less) filter cartridges should be replaced annually.
3.1.7) Air filters
Air filters are the disposable type. They should be replaced at least
once a year. Dusty conditions, presence of animal hair etc. may
require much more frequent filter changes. Dirty filters will impact
furnace efficiency and increase oil consumption.
3.1.8) Motor lubrication
Do NOT lubricate the oil burner motor or the direct drive blower motor
as they are permanently lubricated.
3.1.9) CAS-2B combustion air kit (chimney
venting)
If used, check the CAS-2B combustion air kit for proper operation.
Check to see that the inlet screen is not plugged. Block the air inlet
completely and ensure that a zero smoke reading results. If a zero
smoke reading is not obtained, set up the burner as indicated in
Tables 3.1 to 3.4, p. 15 to 18.
Gradually block off the intake. The CO
of 0.5 percentage points at the fully blocked condition. If not, check
that the VRV gate is pivoting freely and that the pivot rod is in a
horizontal position. Also, check that the counterweight has been
properly adjusted in accordance with CAS-2B installation instructions.
