These boilers are equipped with both a blocked vent safety switch and a rollout safety switch. The blocked vent safety switch is located on the draft hood flue stack. This is a manual reset control used to prevent excessive spillage of flue gases from the draft hood. The rollout safety switch is a single use (one time) thermal fuse to prevent the boiler from operation if flue passages are blocked. If either of these devices operate to shut down the burners, follow instructions in the section “To Turn Off Gas To Appliance” and call your service technician or gas supplier.

Your gas boiler must be installed and serviced by a qualified service agency or gas supplier. The lack of proper service can result in a dangerous condition.
