port.

Inspections
Burners

Clean main burners and air louvers of dust, lint and

debris. Keep boiler area clear and free from com-

bustibles and flammable liquids. Do not obstruct the

flow of combustion and ventilation air. Make visual

check of burner and pilot flame. Yellow flame indicates

clogging of air openings. Lifting or blowing flame indi-

cates high gas pressure. Low flame indicates low gas

pressure.

Modulating burner flame varies in height from approximately 1/4"

at low fire to approximately 4" at high fire.

Controls

Check all controls to see that they are operational. To

check electronic safety (IID Models), turn off main

burner. Observe pilot burner when shutting off pilot

gas. Ignition spark should go on. Main gas valve will

also drop out.

To check high limit switch, turn dial setting down to a

point slightly below the temperature of the water leav-

ing the heater. The reset button should snap out and

the burner should shut-off. Reset dial to 30°F to 40°F

above desired operating temperature, and push reset

button. Burner should light.
