WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation. Verify
proper operation after servicing.
Au moment de l´entretien des commandes,
étiquetez tous les fils avant de les débrancher.
Les erreurs de câblage peuvent nuire au bon
fonctionnement et être dangereuses.

adéquatement une fois k´entretien terminé
4. Remove the igniter assembly and flame sensor and
inspect them for oxide deposits. Clean the oxide
deposits from the igniter electrodes and flame
sensor rod with steel wool. Do not use sandpaper
for the cleaning. Inspect the ceramic insulators
for cracks and replace the igniter assembly and/
or flame sensor if necessary. Check the igniter
electrode spacing gap. Refer to Figure 11-1
"Igniter Electrode Gap" for details.

5. To gain access to boiler burner and combustion
chamber, first disconnect and remove gas inlet
piping from gas valve. Then, remove six M6X1
hex flange nuts and take out the burner/blower/
gas valve assembly from the boiler. To prevent
stud breakage, apply a generous amount of good
quality penetrating oil to nuts and let it soak in
prior to attempting nut removal.
6. Inspect the assembly for lint and dust presence. If
significant lint and dust accumulations are found,
disassemble the blower/gas valve assembly to
expose the swirl plate and blower inlet. For parts
identification, refer to Section 13 "Service Parts".
Vacuum these parts as required, being careful
not to damage the vanes on the swirl plate.
7. Vacuum any dust or lint from the burner if present.
If the burner shows any visual deterioration or
corrosion signs, replace it immediately. Inspect
the burner gasket and replace if necessary.
8. Inspect the heat exchanger combustion chamber,
clean and vacuum any debris found on the
surfaces. If required, brush the coils of the heat
exchanger using a non-abrasive, non-metal bristle
