White Rodgers TW2000 owner manual 1.6Safety, Disposal Of Ashes

TW2000 WOOD-FIRED BOILER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

(9)Residue may be removed from the firebox or left to be burned during the next fire. It is good practice to leave a layer of ash approximately one inch deep in the base of the firebox.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

WARNING – Ashes usually contain live dormant coals, which may burn for many hours after a recognizable flame has disappeared. Use extreme caution when handling and disposing ashes.

IMPORTANT – No other waste shall be placed in this container.

1.6Safety

If the boiler overheats due to improper operation the following precautions should be taken:

(1)DO NOT shut off power. The circulation pump must be kept running to disperse excessive heat.

(2)Manually close the damper door by unhooking the chain.

(3)Increase all thermostats in the house to maximum to help disperse excessive heat.

(4)Excessive heat caused by extreme over-firing or a control malfunction may cause the relief valve to blow off water/steam into the firebox. Do not be alarmed. The relief valve will reseat when the excessive pressure has been released.

(5)Do not add more fuel until you are certain that all controls are functioning properly and no damage has been done to the boiler.

WARNING – The maximum opening of the combustion air damper is preset at the factory. DO NOT adjust the stop or attempt to increase the combustion air by any means.
