Safety Valve
-
This valve will release (pop off) if the boiler has too
much pressure. Once a week, this valve should be
tripped during operation to make sure it functions
properly.
START UP - BOILER OPERATION WITH STANDING PILOT IGNITION
1. Open manual gas shut off valve and if the appliance has a manual blowdown valve,
close it.
2. Open cabinet door and turn ON power switch located on left side. Green pilot light
will come on, water will begin to enter boiler and required water level will be reached
in about three minutes. Observe water gauge glass to verify.
3. The dial on the combination gas control valve has three positions (ON-PILOT-OFF)
for manual gas control of main burners and pilot. Turn DIAL to PILOT. Depress dial
and light pilot burner located on center main burner of boiler. Maintain dial in
depressed position for about 30 seconds and release. Observe that the pilot burner
flame stays on. If at any time the flame should become extinguished, a 5 minute
period of complete shut off of gas supply is required before relighting.
4. Turn dial to ON and burners should ignite. Steam generation will now commence and
be completed in approximately 15 minutes. Steam generation should reach
approximately 11 psi as indicated on the pressure gauge on the boiler.
