Basic Operation
Figure 1: Control Locations
CAUTION
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 être 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 qualified service technician to
inspect the boiler and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under
water.
2.
Low Water Cutoff
A device which automatically
interrupts boiler operation when the surface of the
boiler water falls to the lowest permissible operating
level. See Figure 1. The lowest permissible
operating level is indicated on a plate adjacent to
the gauge glass. The low water cutoff automatically
resets when water returns to its normal level. Boiler
operation resumes with a call for heat.
3.
Blocked Vent Switch
See Figure 7. A device
which automatically interrupts boiler operation
when excessive vent system blockage occurs. Do
not attempt to place boiler in operation if control
was activated to interrupt boiler operation. Contact
a qualified service agency.
CAUTION
Do not reset Blocked Vent Switch unless a
qualified service agency has determined and
corrected the cause of any blockage in the vent
system or chimney.
