Follow the lighting instructions in this manual. These instruc- tions are also attached to the boiler.

SAFETY INFORMATION

For Your Safety Read Before Operating

WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A.This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the pilot. DO NOT try to light the pilot by hand.

B.BEFORE OPERATING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

•DO NOT try to light any appliance.

•DO NOT touch any electric switch: DO NOT use any phone in your building.

•Immediately call you gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

C.DO NOT use this appliance if any part has been under- water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been underwater.

Figure 17.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.STOP! Read the safety information above on this page.

2.Set the thermostat to lowest setting.

3.Turn off all electric power to the appliance.

4.This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the pilot. DO NOT try to light the pilot by hand.

5.Turn gas control knob clockwise to “OFF”. DO NOT force.

6.Wait five (5) minutes (longer for propane) to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow “B” in the safety information above on this page. If you don’t smell gas, go to next step.

7.Turn gas control knob counterclockwise to “ON”.

8.Turn on all electric power to the appliance.

9. Set thermostat to desired setting.

10.If appliance will not operate, follow the instructions

“To Turn Off Gas To Appliance” and call your service or gas supplier.

To Turn Off Gas to Appliance

1.Set thermostat to lowest setting.

2.Turn off all electric power to the appliance if service is to be performed.

3. Turn gas control knob clockwise

to OFF.

DO NOT force.

 

3.Burner Adjustment

A. Adjust gas input rate:

1.Consult gas supplier for higher heating value* of gas (Btu/cu. ft.).

2.Set thermostat high enough so that boiler will remain on while checking rate.

3.Measure manifold pressure at 1/8" tapping. Correct manifold pressure for gas used is printed on boiler rating plate. NOTE: Gas pressure may be adjusted by turning pressure regulator screw on combination gas valve (turn clockwise to increase pressure, coun- terclockwise to decrease pressure).

a.Input for PROPANE is approximately at rating shown on rating plate when manifold pressure is 91⁄2" water column.

b.Input for NATURAL GAS is approximately at rating when manifold pressure is 31⁄2" water column, but should be checked on the gas meter: Btuh Input = Btu/cu. ft. x cu. ft. metered in 3 minutes x 20

Example 1:

For 1000 Btu/cu. ft. gas, this becomes:

Btuh Input = cu. ft. metered in 3 minutes x 1000 Btu/cu. ft. x 20

Example 2:

For 1050 Btu/cu. ft. gas, this becomes:

Btuh Input = cu. ft. metered in 3 minutes x 1050 Btu/cu. ft. x 20

4.The higher heating value* of gas varies substantially for different localities. Consult with Slant/Fin’s Techni- cal Service Dept. for re-orificing procedures if any of the following apply:

a.Boiler (burner) is overfiring. CAUTION! National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1-latest edition) does NOT permit firing at a higher input rate than the input rate indicated on the boiler rating plate in order to avoid hazardous conditions such as explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.

b.Poor higher* heating value of gas is causing the actual input to be substantially lower than the rat- ing plate indication.

*“Higher heating” value of gas is commonly known as “heating value”.
