Explosion and Fire
Hazard
Failure to follow these instructions
could lead to equipment malfunction
and result in heavy smoke emission,
soot-up, hot gas puff-back, fire and
asphyxiation hazards.
Do not attempt to start the burner when excess oil
y
has accumulated in the appliance, the appliance is
full of vapor, or when the combustion chamber is very
hot.
Do not attempt to re-establish flame with the burner
y
running if the flame becomes extinguished during
start-up, venting, or adjustment.
Vapor-Filled Appliance: Allow the unit to cool off and
y
all vapors to dissipate before attempting another start.
Oil-Flooded Appliance: Shut off the electrical power
y
and the oil supply to the burner and then clear all
accumulated oil before continuing.
If the condition still appears unsafe, contact the Fire
y
Department. Carefully follow their directions.
y Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and ready for use.
If the burner or control fails any of the following tests,
recheck control wiring. If the burner or control still fails
any tests, replace the control.

Check Safety Features

Safe Start Check
1. Place a jumper across the cad cell terminals.
2. Refer to the steps for "Start up burner/set
combustion" and have the system call for heat.
3. Burner must not start. Verify that the green light
is on continuously and that the control remains in
Standby mode.
4. End the call for heat and remove the cad cell
jumper.
Simulate Flame Failure and Ignition Failure
1. Refer to the steps for "Start up burner/set
combustion" and have the system call for heat.
SF/SM Burner Manual
Section: START UP BURNER/SET COMBUSTION
2. After flame is established and the burner igniter turns
off, close the hand valve in the oil supply line.
3. At flame loss, the control will enter Recycle mode.
Verify that the green light is flashing. The control will
remain in Recycle for 60 seconds.
4. After the 60 second recycle period, the control will try
to restart the system.
5. After the 15 second lockout time, the control will lock
out the burner and the reset button will flash. Verify
that the burner motor and igniter are off and that the
burner oil solenoid valve (if used) is not energized.
6. Open the hand valve in the oil line.
7. Click the reset button and verify that the red light in
the reset button shuts off and that the burner lights.
8. End the call for heat.
Before leaving the installation, verify that all thermostat
and boiler/furnace control wiring is correct. Consult
heating appliance manual for directions.

OIL-BURNING EQUIPMENT
SHALL BE CONNECTED TO
FLUES HAVING SUITABLE PRESSURE (DRAFT)
AT ALL TIMES TO ASSURE SAFE AND PROPER
OPERATION OF THE BURNER.
1. Allow the burner to run for approximately 5 to 10
minutes.
2. Set the stack or over-fire draft to the level specified
by the appliance manufacturer.
○ Natural Draft Applications; typically over-fire
draft is -0.01" or -0.02" w.c.
○ Direct Venting; typically may not require draft
adjustment.
○ High Efficiency/Positive Pressure Appliances;
also vary from traditional appliances (see
manufacturer's recommendations).
3. Follow these four steps to properly adjust the burner:
Step 1: Adjust the air shutter/band until a trace of
smoke is achieved.
Step 2: At the trace of smoke level, measure the
CO (or O ) . This is the vital reference point

for further adjustments. Example: 13.5%
CO (2.6% O

Step 3: Increase the air to reduce the CO
2 percentage points. (O
by approximately 2.0 to 2.7 percentage
points.) Example: Reduce CO
to 11.5% (2.6% to 5.3% O
Step 4: Recheck smoke level. It should be Zero.

reserve air to accommodate variable
conditions.
