FUTERA III INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING.

POUR VOTRE SÉCURITÉ LISEZ AVANT DE METTRE EN
MARCHE

A.

This appliance is equipped with an ignition device
which automatically lights the pilot. Do not try to light
the pilot by hand.

Cet appareil est muni d’un dispositif d’allumage qui
allume automatiquement la veilleuse. Ne tentez pas
d’allumer la veilleuse manuellement.

B.

BEFORE OPERATING smell all around the appliance
area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because
some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

DANGER: Propane gas may not always be detected
by smell. Propane gas is heavier than air and can
collect in low areas.

Propane gas can ignite or explode if an ignition
source is present and result in death, serious
injury and property damage!

FOR YOUR  SAFETY

• Have only qualified licensed professionals install,

service and maintain this appliance and your gas
system in accordance with all applicable codes.

• If you suspect a leak:

1. Have everyone leave the building immediately.
2. Do not attempt to light any appliance.
3. Do not touch any electrical or electronic switches

in the building.

4. Do not use any phone in the building.
5. Call your gas supplier from a phone outside of the

building.

6. If you cannot reach your gas supplier call the fire

department.

AVANT DE FAIRE FONCTIONNER, reniflez tout autour de
l’appareil pour déceler une odeur de gaz. Reniflez près du
plancher, car certains gaz sont plus lourds que l’air et
peuvent s’accumuler au niveau du sol.

QUE FAIRE SI VOUS SENTEZ UNE ODEUR DE GAZ:

Ne pas tenter d’allumer d’appareil.

Ne touchez à aucun interrupteur; ne pas vous servir
des téléphones se trouvant dans le bâtiment.

Appelez immédiatement votre fournisseur de gaz
depuis un voisin. Suives les instructions du fournisseur.

Si vous ne pouvez rejoindre le fournisseur, appelez le
service de incendies.

C.

Do not use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician
to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control that has been
under water.

N’utilisez pas cet appareil s’il a été plongé dans l’eau,
même partiellement. Faites inspecter l’appareil par un
tecnicien qualifié et remplacez toute partie du système
de contrôle et toute commande qui ont été plongés
dans l’eau.

CAUTION: To prevent being burned, stand clear of the
boiler during ignition and don’t touch any hot metal
parts!

Operating Instructions

  

1.

STOP!

 Read the safety information above. If, at any

time, the appliance will not operate properly, follow
the instructions “TO TURN OFF GAS TO
APPLIANCE”.

  2. Set the operating control to off or its lowest setting.

  3. Turn off all electric power to the appliance.

  4. Close manual main shut-off valves 1 and 2 and the

pilot gas shut-off valve, Figure 14.

  5. Make sure that the gas supply piping has been purged

of air and that all gas joints up to the gas valve have
been thoroughly checked for leaks.

Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell
for gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas,

STOP!

 Follow “B” in the safety information above (to

the left) on this label. If you don’t smell gas, go to the
next step.

  6. Power appliance and turn the power switch on the side

of the boiler to “on”. If all interlocks are properly closed,
the display will say “Standby Futera III”. If this is not
the case refer to the “DIAGNOSTICS” section for
further information.

  7. A minimum gas supply pressure of 

2 in

51 mm, W.C.

natural of propane and max 

14 in

356 mm W.C.,

natural of propane, must be available at the safety
shutoff valve inlet with the unit(s) operating.

  8. Create a full input demand by jumping the AA

terminals on control board at terminal strip J12.

  9. The boiler will begin the start sequence.
