The boiler contains ceramic fiber materials. Use
care when handling these materials per instructions
on page 89 of this manual. Failure to comply could
result in severe personal injury.
Tools required
• Long-handled Torx driver, #20
• T25 Torx Bit
• 3mm Allen wrench
• Phillips head screwdriver, #2
• Nut driver, "
5/16
• Torque wrench
• Putty knife
• Wrench or socket, 10mm
• (2) Large Cresent wrenches
Before proceeding:
1. Shut down the boiler:
a. Follow "To Turn Off Gas to Appliance" instructions on
boiler and Operating instructions.
b. Close the boiler manual gas valve.
2. Allow time for the boiler to cool to room temperature if it
has been firing.
3. Remove jacket door by removing two (2) screws at the bottom
of the plastic jacket door.
4. Lift the jacket door up and away from the boiler to remove.
Remove components to allow access
1. See Figure 115, page 109 part A to locate components
referenced in the following.
2. Remove the air baffle (item 28, page 3) by removing the two
(2) hex head screws in front of the air intake adapter (item
16 page 3). Set aside.
3. See Figure 115, page 109 part B.
a. Release the air silencer bracket free from gas line.
b. Remove the air silencer from the venturi by sliding
it away from the blower/venturi assembly. Set the air
silencer aside.
c. Remove the two (2) electrical connectors from the blower
and one connector from the gas valve.
d. By using two wrenches, loosen the union fitting between
the flexible gas line and the gas valve flare adapter. Gently
set the flex line aside, where it is out of the way and free
from damage.
e. Remove the blower/venturi/gas valve assembly by
removing the two (2) nuts connecting the blower to the

Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation.
h. Lift the cover plate/burner assembly vertically until the
refractory (part C, item 11) clears the heat exchanger.
i. Tilt the cover plate/burner assembly slightly forward.
Then pull the assembly forward and out of the jacket.
j. Remove the igniter by removing the two (2) Socket head
Allen igniter bolts. Set the igniter, its gasket and screws
aside. Be careful when handling the igniter not to damage
the igniter ceramic.
k. Inspect the igniter ceramic and electrodes. Clean the
electrodes carefully with steel wool. If the igniter ceramic
is cracked or damaged, replace the igniter with a new one.
Handle the cover plate/burner assembly carefully to
avoid damage to the igniter or refractory. Place the
assembly on a clean, flat surface with the assembly
upside down, as shown in Figure 115, page 109
part C and part D.
4. See Figure 115, page 109 part C.
a. Use a wide-blade putty knife (item 10) to gently pry
the refractory from the heat exchanger cover plate. The
refractory is attached with silicone adhesive and should
separate with a little pressure on the putty knife.
DO NOT gouge or crack the refractory. The
refractory is made of ceramic fiber materials. Read
the ceramic fiber WARNING on page 89 before
handling or disposing of ceramic fiber materials.
