2.	Pilot burner ports or pilot orifice clogged.		2.	Clean ports or orifices.
3.	Burners or orifices out of alignment.		3.	Realign burners or manifold.
4.	Excessive primary air.		4.	Adjust primary air shutters.
5.	Excessive burner input.		5.	Check and reduce to input shown on rating plate.

FUMES AND GAS ODORS
CAUSE			REMEDY
1.	Leaks in gas piping or accessories.		1.	Locate leaks and repair.
2.	Gas leaks in service line or meter connections.		2.	Close service supply valve - shut down appliance and
				notify utility.
3.	Blocked chimney.		3.	Check and repair chimney.
4.	Boiler flueways blocked with soot.		4.	Clean flueways and adjust burners as described in the
				installation instructions.
5.	Undersized breeching or too many turns in breeching.		5.	Check manufacturer's recommendations.
6.	Adverse draft condition in boiler room.		6.	Check air supply and venting system.
7.	Overfiring.		7.	Adjust gas input to that shown on boiler rating plate.
CONDENSATION IN BOILER FLUES OR IN VENT SYSTEM
CAUSE			REMEDY
1.	Underfiring.		1.	Increase firing rate to that shown on rating plate.
2.	Boiler water maintained at too low a temperature level.		2.	Set low limit controls to maintain a higher water temper-
				ature. If boiler is not equipped with low limit replace
				with one which has a combination low limit/high limit
				aquastat.
3.	Long horizontal run of smokepipe.		3.	Relocate boiler or insulate breeching.
4.	Inadequate chimney or venting system.		4.	Check chimney and venting recommendations.
