CAUTION Oxygen contamination of boiler water will cause corrosion of iron and steel boiler components, and can lead to boiler failure. Burnham's standard warranty does not cover problems caused by oxygen contamination of boiler water. There are many possible causes of oxygen contamina- tion such as: 1.
Most homes have a chimney appropriate for the fuel and the era in which the home was built. That may have been a coal fired or an inefficient oil fired boiler built into a home without insulation or storm windows.
Page 16
That probably means that the stack temperature from the new boiler will be lower than that from the old boiler and with less room air being drawn up the chimney to dilute the stack gases. The combination of a large uninsulated...

Any of the probe low water cutoffs will shut down the burner after a 10-15 second delay, if the water level in the boiler drops too low.

The low water cut off will shut down the burner if the water level in the boiler drops too low. The control resets and restarts the burner with a call for heat a few seconds after the water is returned to its normal level.
Page 20
If burner ignites within approximately 45 seconds and the cad cell sees flame the burner will continue to operate until the call for heat is satisfied. The circulator will also operate when the thermostat calls for heat if the boiler water temperature is up to the setting of the low limit in the L8124C control.

Add boiler water treatment compound as needed (refer to paragraph N.). o. Restore electric service to the boiler. p. Fire burner to bring the water in the boiler to a boil to drive off free oxygen. q. WARNING — BEFORE RETURNING BOILER TO SERVICE: Follow the low water cutoff check out procedure in step L.4..
