Start-up — verify operation
Check burner flames
Pilot burner flame (
PROPER pilot flame
1. Blue flame.
2. Inner cone engulfing pilot flame sensor (spark-
ignited pilot).
3. Pilot flame sensor glowing cherry red.
IMPROPER pilot flame
1. Overfired — Large flame lifting or blowing past pilot
flame sensor.
2. Underfired — Small flame. Inner cone not engulfing
pilot flame sensor.
3. Lack of primary air — Yellow flame tip.
Main burner flame (
PROPER main burner flame
1. Yellow-orange streaks may appear (caused by dust).
IMPROPER main burner flame:
1. Overfired — Large flames.
2. Underfired — Small flames.
3. Lack of primary air — Yellow tipping on flames
(sooting will occur).

wiring diagram.
Check vent system operation
1. Check vent system at least once a month during
heating season. With boiler firing, hold candle or
match below lower edge of draft hood "skirt". If
flame does not blow out, but burns undisturbed,
vent system is functioning properly. If flame blows
out or flickers drastically, inspect vent system for
obstructions or other causes of improper venting
(such as exhaust fans in boiler room).
