II. CLEANING AND FILLING A NEW STEAM BOILER
Before using steam boiler:
A.Check boiler to be certain it is ready for firing. DO NOT
FIRE into an empty boiler.
B.Be prepared to heat raw water to at least 180° F as soon
as it is introduced into the boiler. This procedure will
remove dissolved, corrosive gases.
C.Provide drain line, with valve, from boiler. Use a bottom tap-
ping. Line and drain must be suitable for handling caustic
solution.
III. CLEAN STEAM BOILER SYSTEM
A.Fill the boiler to water line indicated on the boiler.
B.Follow start-up procedure for boiler and operate the boiler
with steam in the entire system for 2 or 3 days to bring oil
and dirt from the system to the boiler. While system is in
operation, maintain the proper water level in the boiler by
slowly adding water to the boiler.
C.Shut down burner, cool down boiler and drain system.
D.Procedure to dissolve oil and grease in boiler:
1. Fill boiler to proper water line.
2. Prepare a boil-out solution of caustic soda.
NOTE: Use CAUTION in handling chemicals. Caustic
soda is harmful to skin, eyes and clothing.
(a)Pour solution into the boiler through a top tapping.
Replace plug.
3. Start the burner; boil the water for at least 5 hours;
shut off the burner.
E.With CAUTION, drain the boiler solution to a safe location.
DO NOT LEAVE SOLUTION SITTING IN SYSTEM OVER
2 HOURS.
F. Wash the water side of the boiler thoroughly using a high
pressure water stream. Fill and drain the boiler several times.
IV. TREATING WATER FOR CORROSION CONTROL
(This is not scale control.)
A.Prepare a boil-out solution of caustic soda.
Proportions: 1 lb. per 50 gallons of boiler water.
B.Stir chemical in water until dissolved and pour into boiler
through a top tapping. Replace plug.
V. FILLING AND VENTING THE STEAM BOILER
A.Refill the boiler to the indicated water line.
B.Bring water to boiling temperature, promptly.
C.The boiler is now ready to be put into service or on standby.

SAFETY INFORMATION
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions
exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or loss of life.
A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lit by hand.
When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area
for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because
some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• DO NOT try to light any appliance.
• DO NOT touch any electric switch; DO NOT use any
phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's
phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control
knob. NEVER use tools. If the knob will not push in or
turn by hand, DON'T try to repair it, call a qualified ser-
vice technician. Force or attempted repair may result in
a fire or explosion.
D. DO NOT use this appliance if any part has been under-
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which has been
underwater.
Lighting Instructions
1. STOP! Read the safety information above on this page.
2. Set the thermostat to lowest setting.
3. Turn off all electric power to the appliance.
4. Remove control access panel. (Galaxy models only.)
