Main Power Switch
- ON fills the boiler tank and turns the boiler controls on. You should allow 20 minutes to fill
the tank and generate steam.
- OFF shuts off the boiler controls and opens the automatic 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.
Pilot Light
- Indicates main power is ON.
Boiler Pressure Gauge
- Should read 9 -11 psi during operation; 0 psi during shutdown.
Water Level Sight Glass
- Observe level of water in the boiler and water quality. Murkiness in the water indicates
inadequate water quality; the owner must supply proper water to the boiler (see Water
Quality Statement).
Water Level Control
- While ON, briefly open the water level control daily to remove any sediment that might
accumulate.
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.
CAUTION
If you smell gas during the lighting procedure, immediately shut off the gas supply until the leak has
been corrected.
