OPERATION OF THE BOILER
Turn on water and power supply.
Open cabinet door and turn main power switch ON. Pilot light ignites and water begins to fill
boiler - observe water gauge sight glass to verify that proper water level is reached.
Once the proper water level is reached, the heaters begin to heat the water. Heaters require
about 15 minutes to begin steam generation. The boiler pressure gauge in the cabinet should
indicate steam pressure in a range of 9 to 11 psig.
