Instructions De Mise En Marche 

1.   ARRÊTEZ! Lisez les instructions de sécurité sur la portion 

supérieure de cette étiquette. 

2.   Réglez le thermostat à la température la plus basse. 
3.   Coupez l’alimentation électrique de l’appareil. 
4.   Cet appareil est muni d’un dispositif d’allumage qui allume 

automatiquement la veilleuse. Ne tentez pas d’allumer la veilleuse 

manuellement. 

5.   Fermer la vanne manuelle d’arrêt d’alimintation de gaz. 
6.   Attendre cinq (5) minutes pour laisser échapper tout le gaz.  

Reniflez tout autour de l’appareil, y compris près du plancher, 

pour déceler une odeur de gaz.  Si vous sentez une odeur de 

gaz, ARRÊTEZ! Passez à l’étape B des instructions de sécurité 

sur la portion supérieure de cette étiquette.  S’il n’y a pas d’odeur 

de gaz, passez à l’étape suivante. 

7.   Ouver la vanne manuelle d’arrêt d’alimintation de gaz. 
8.   Mettez l’appareil sous tension. 
9.   Réglez le thermostat à la température désirée. 
10. Si l’appareil ne se met pas en marche, suivez les instructions 

intitulées couper l’admission de gaz de l’appareil et appelez un 

technicien qualifié ou le fournisseur de gaz.

To Turn Off Gas To Appliance 

1.   Set the operating control or thermostat to its lowest setting. 
2.   Turn off all electric power to the appliance if service is to be 

performed. 

3.   Close the manual main valves. 

COUPER L’ADMISSION DE GAZ DE L’APPAREIL 

1.   Réglez le thermostat à la température la plus basse.
2.   Coupez l’alimentation électrique de l’appareil s’il faut procéder 

à l’entretien. 

3.  Fermer la vanne manuelle d’arrêt d’alimintation de gaz.

CHECKING & ADJUSTMENTS 

1.   With the burners in operation, close the manual shutoff valve 

in the gas supply line. As soon as the main burner flames go 

out, open the manual shutoff valve. A normal ignition sequence 

should take place. If the burners fail to light, the gas valves will 

close and the system will go into a 5-minute lock out period. 

The flame sense module will then make a second ignition attempt. 

If the unit won’t light ensure that the gas piping is fully purged 

of air. Inspect the ignition system and ensure that it is operating 

properly. 

2.   To test the ignition safety shutoff device, close the manual shutoff 

valve in the gas supply line. Within 5 seconds of main burner 

flame extinction, the main gas valve solenoid should close with 

an audible noise. After 10 seconds the module should lockout 

and the trial for ignition end. After 5 minutes a second trial for 

ignition should occur. Open the manual shutoff valve in the 

gas supply line and reset the ignition control system. A normal 

ignition sequence should take place. 

3.   With the burners in operation, interrupt the power to the control 

circuit by turning down the operator or thermostat. The boiler/

water heater should shut down. Reset the operating control or 

thermostat. A normal ignition sequence should follow. 

Input Rate, Natural Gas 

Gas appliances are rated based on sea level operation with no 

adjustment required at elevations up to 

5000 ft

1524 m

. At 

elevations above 

5000 ft

1524 m

, input ratings should be reduced 

by 4% for each additional  

1000 ft

,

 305 m

.

Check the input rate as follows: 
1.   Turn off all other gas appliances that use the same gas meter 

as the boiler/water heater. 

2.   Call your gas supplier and ask for the heating value of the gas. 
3.   Connect a flue gas analyzer to the vent pipe. 
4.   Start the boiler/water heater and let it run for 15 minutes. 
5.   Using the gas meter and a stopwatch, clock the time that it takes 

to burn 

10 ft

3

0.28 m

3

 of gas and divide this time by 10. 

6.   Insert the heating value and the time, in seconds, into the formula 

below.

7.   Input = (heating value, Btu/hr)(3600)/(time, seconds) 
8.   If the computed rate deviates by more than 5% from the rated 

input value of the unit adjust the manifold pressure accordingly. 

DO NOT adjust the manifold pressure by more than 5%. If a 

proper rate cannot be maintained without adjusting the manifold 

pressure beyond the 5% limit, the main burner orifices must 

be replaced. If the input rate is too low, go to the next lager size 

of main burner orifices. If the input rate is too high, go to the 

next smaller size.  

  Never increase the input of the boiler/water heater 

above that for which it is rated. Doing so can cause 

premature failure of the unit!
