LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
These models have an automatic hot surface ignition system
mounted on the combustion chamber panel inside the front jacket.
This hot surface igniter ignites the main burner gas whenever the
system control calls for heat.
Before proceeding with operation of the unit, make sure the boiler
and system are filled with water and all air is expelled from the boiler,
radiator tank(s) and piping.
WARNING
THE MAIN MANUAL GAS SHUT-OFF VALVE MUST HAVE BEEN
CLOSED FOR AT LEAST FIVE (5) MINUTES BEFORE
LIGHTING. This waiting period is an important safety step.
Its purpose is to permit gas that might have accumulated in
the combustion chamber to clear. IF YOU DETECT GAS AT
THE END OF THE PERIOD DO NOT PROCEED WITH
LIGHTING. RECOGNIZE THAT GAS ODOR, EVEN IF IT SEEMS
WEAK, MAY INDICATE PRESENCE OF ACCUMULATED GAS
SOMEPLACE IN THE AREA WITH A RISK OF FIRE OR
EXPLOSION.
WARNING
THERE IS A RISK IN USING FUEL BURNING APPLIANCES SUCH
AS GAS WATER BOILERS IN ROOMS, GARAGES OR OTHER
AREAS WHERE GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
ARE USED OR STORED, OR ENGINE-DRIVEN EQUIPMENT OR
VEHICLES ARE STORED, OPERATED OR REPAIRED.
FLAMMABLE VAPORS ARE HEAVY AND TRAVEL ALONG THE
FLOOR AND MAY BE IGNITED BY THE BOILER'S MAIN BURNER
FLAMES CAUSING FIRE OR EXPLOSION. Some local codes
permit operation of gas appliances if installed 18 inches or more
above the floor. This may reduce the risk if location in such an
area cannot be avoided.
