safety information before operating the boiler.

WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions
exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing prop­erty damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A. This boiler does not have a pilot. It is equipped with
a hot surface ignition device which automatically lights
the burners. Do not try to light the burners by hand.

B. BEFORE OPERATING smell all around the boiler
area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because
some gases are heavier than air and will settle on the
floor.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

* Do not try to light any appliance.
* Do not touch any electric switch;
* Do not use any phone in your building.
* Immediately call your gas supplier from a

CAUTION: Should overheating occur or the gas sup­ply fails 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. Failure
to observe this precaution may aggravate the over­heated condition resulting in possible damage to the
boiler and injury to the user.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES

It is a good practice to make a periodic inspection
of the boiler. It is recommended that the home owner
or user check's the boiler after the first and third month
of operation, and then on an annual basis, or more
often if desired. It is also recommended to have a
qualified service agency check the boiler before each
heating season, or at anytime there may be an indica­tion of a problem.

8. Turn on all electric power to the boiler.

9. Set thermostat to desired setting.

10. If the boiler will not operate, follow the instruction

"To Turn Off Gas To Boiler" and call your service
technician or gas supplier.

TO TURN OFF GAS TO BOILER

1. Set the thermostat at the lowest setting.

2. Turn off all the electric power to the boiler if service

DANGER: Keep boiler area clear and free from
combustibles and flammable materials. Do not ob­struct the flow of combustion and ventilating air into
the boiler enclosure. Failure to observe these safety
precautions can cause fire, explosion, or asphyxia­tion.

1. Burner Inspection.

Clean the main burners and air louvers of dust, lint
and debris. With burner in operation, make a visual
check of the burner flame and the pilot flame (when
equipped). Yellow flames indicate some restriction of
combustion air openings. A bright orange, luminous
flame is not normal and can cause sooting under
prolonged operation. Should this condition be ob­served, contact immediately a qualified service agency
to correct the problem.

3. Circulator (Water Pump) Inspection.

The circulator is permanently lubricated and thus,
will not require any lubrication. Inspect for evidence of
water leakage. This should be corrected to prevent any
possible damage to electrical components of the boiler.

CAUTION: In case of a prolonged power failure during
freezing weather conditions, boiler and piping system
must be drained completely to avoid possible damage
to the heating system.

2. Venting System Inspection.

Visually inspect the venting system. Make sure the
vent connections are secure and have not become
disengaged. Look for any indication of corrosion, or
carbon (soot) streaks which could cause leakage of
products of combustion into the living space. Inspect
the vent terminal outside the building. Make sure it is
not damaged to cause blockage or restriction of the flue
gas. Observe for any indication of soot. The presence
of soot accumulation in the vent terminal would indicate
an abnormal operating condition. This should be
investigated and corrected by a qualified service
agency.

SOOT

CORROSION

DISENGAGED

To prevent the potential freezing damage to the
heating system, it is recommended that the following
system shut down procedure be performed.

SYSTEM SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE

1. Set the room thermostat to "OFF" or the lowest

setting.

2. Turn off all electric switches to the boiler.

3. Turn off all gas valves supplying gas to the boiler.

Refer to operating instruction label on the boiler.

4. Shut off the water supply to the boiler piping system

loop.

5. Open drain valve on the boiler to remove water

from the boiler and the piping circuits.

NOTE: It may be necessary to open the purge valves
and/or manual air vents to facilitate complete drainage
of water from the heating system.

4. Service Assistance.

If service is required on the boiler, contact your
local service agency or Raypak, Inc. can refer you to the
proper qualified service agency. It is important and very
often will save time if you state the model number, serial
number and type of gas used. This information will be
found on the nameplate of the boiler.
