4.0 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Never spray water into electric controls.
Be sure to flush your boiler water level control daily. Failure to follow this procedure can
cause the control to malfunction resulting in serious boiler damage.
The Boiler Water Level Control installed on your boiler requires periodic maintenance. As
boiler water circulates into the float chamber, sand, scale and other sediment may be
deposited in the float chamber. While the chamber has been designed with a large
accumulation bowl, it is necessary to flush the sediment from the chamber by blowing down
the control so that the accumulation of sediment does not interfere with the movement of the
float in the control. Control must be flushed at least once a day.
CAUTION: Scald Hazard. Protect yourself. When flushing control, hot water
and steam will flow out of the drain.
CAUTION: Disconnect the power supply during cleaning or servicing.
NOTICE: Contact the factory, the factory representative or local service company to perform
maintenance and repairs.
Refer to warranty terms.
