Start the burner

Instruction Manual – Model CF500/CF800 Oil Burner

Do not proceed unless all prior steps in this manual have been completed. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

Do not attempt to start the burner when excess oil has accumulated, when the appliance is full of vapor or when the combustion chamber is very hot. Do not attempt to re-establish flame with the burner running if the flame should be extinguished during start-up, venting or adjustment. Allow the unit to cool off and all vapors to dissipate before attempting another start. Failure to comply with these guidelines could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

If control is not an R7184 refer to manufacturer’s literature for specific control.

❏Starting the burner and venting air

Priming the pump

1.Initiate a call for heat.

2.While the ignition is on, press and release the reset button (hold ½-second or less). If the control has not locked out since its most recent complete heat cycle, the lockout time will be extended to 4 minutes (45 seconds in earlier units), and the ignition will remain on the entire heat cycle.

3.Bleed the pump until all froth and bubbles are purged. If prime is not established within the extended lockout time, the control will lock out. Press the reset button to reset the control and return to step 2.

The reset button can be held for 30 seconds at any time to reset the control’s lockout counter to zero and send the control to standby.

4.Repeat steps 2 and 3, if needed, until the pump is fully primed and the oil is free of bubbles. Then terminate the call for heat, and the control will resume normal operation.

Resetting from restricted lockout

•If the control locks out three times in a row without a complete heat cycle between attempts, the lockout becomes restricted. A qualified service technician should be called to inspect the burner.

Disable function

•Any time the motor is running, press and hold the reset button to disable the burner. The burner will remain off as long as the button is held and will return to standby when released.

Cad cell resistance check

•While the burner is firing, and after the ignition has been turned off, press and release the reset button (hold ½- second or less) to check the cad cell resistance. The LED will flash 1 to 4 times, depending on the cad cell resistance (see the table below). For proper operation, it is important that the cad cell resistance is below 1600 Ohms.

	LED flashes		Cad cell resistance

	1		0-400 Ohms

	2		400-800 Ohms

	3		800-1600 Ohms

	4		more than 1600 Ohms
