These boilers are equipped with both a blocked vent
saf
ety switch and a rollout safety s
witch. The blocked
vent safety switch is located on the draft hood flue stack.
This is a manual reset control used to prevent excessive
spillage of flue gases from the draft hood. The rollout
safety switch is a single use (one time) thermal fuse to
prevent the boiler from operation if flue passages are
b
locked. If either of these devices operate to shut down
the burners, follow instructions in the section “To Turn
Off Gas To Appliance” and call your service technician
or gas supplier.
Your gas boiler must be installed and serviced by a qualified service agency or
gas supplier. The lack of proper service can result in a dangerous condition.
