BOILER CONTROLS (Inside Cabinet)
Main Power Switch

allow 20 minutes to fill the tank and generate steam.

blowdown valve, emptying the boiler tank and releasing water and
steam to the drain. This should be done at least once daily to
remove sediment, lime, or scale.

Boiler Pressure Gauge -
Should read 9 -11 psi during operation; 0 psi during shutdown.

the water indicates inadequate water quality; the owner must supply
proper water to the boiler (See page 4, Water Quality Statement).
Water Level Control

sediment that might accumulate.
Safety Valve
