2. START UP - BOILER OPERATION WITH ELECTRONIC IGNITION
Open manual gas supply valve.
Open cabinet door and turn main power switch ON. Green pilot light will come on, water will
begin to enter boiler and required water level will be reached in about 3 minutes. Observe
water gauge sight glass to verify.
The dial on the gas combination control valve has 2 positions (ON and OFF).
ON - [Rotated counterclockwise] permits gas to flow to the pilot and main burner.
OFF - [Rotated clockwise] prevents gas flow to pilot and main burner.
NOTE: Units are shipped with the control in the ON position.
With the gas control valve, power switch and water supply all ON, water begins entering the
boiler and gas flows to the pilot: Spark will begin in 2 to 3 seconds. If the pilot fails to light in 90
seconds, the control will provide 100% lockout. If this occurs: Wait 5 minutes, then turn power
switch off for one minute before turning power switch back on.
Once the pilot is lit and the required water level has been reached, the main burners will ignite.
Burner will cycle to meet the steam pressure required. Steam pressure should reach
approximately 11 psi as indicated on the pressure gauge on the boiler.
