damage, personal injury or loss of life if ignored. Before opening swing door, turn off service switch to boiler
to prevent accidental firing of burner outside the combustion chamber. Be sure to tighten swing door fastener
completely when service is completed. In addition, the burner power cord will have to be disconnected from
the receptacle in the front jacket.
