Boiler heating surfaces
1. Disconnect the vent pipe at the boiler draft hood
and remove draft hood after turning off power to
the boiler.
2. Use a bright light to inspect the boiler flue collector
and heating surfaces.
3. If the vent pipe or boiler interior surfaces show

properly maintained (per this manual).
5. Reconnect vent and draft hood. Replace all boiler
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing
compounds in boiler system. Severe damage to boiler
will occur, resulting in substantial property damage.
Eliminate all system or boiler leaks. Continual fresh
makeup water will reduce boiler life. Minerals can build
up in sections, reducing heat transfer, overheating cast
iron, and causing section failure. Leaking water may also
cause severe property damage.
Electrical shock hazard —Turn off power to the boiler
before any service operation on the boiler except as
noted otherwise in this instruction manual. Failure to
turn off electrical power could result in electrical shock,
