WARNING
Failure to retain the O-ring gasket between the venturi
and the blower will cause an improper seal resulting
in a potential risk of a gas leak. A gas leak can result in
substantial property damage, serious injury, or death.
Ensure the correct venturi for the model is installed.
Natural gas venturis have a white identification label
and LP venturis have a black label. Failure to comply
will affect input rate and combustion of the boiler
which can result in substantial property damage,
serious injury, or death.
Do not use adhesive on any gaskets or O-rings during the
reassembly process.
2. Using a 10 mm socket and ratchet, reinstall the
three (3) bolts securing the venturi to the fan
assembly
3. Reassemble the gas valve to venturi pipe to the
gas valve and venturi taking care to ensure that the
gaskets are seated properly before tightening the
nut.
4. Install the venturi interface on the venturi and
rotate counterclockwise until locked into place.
5. Install the air inlet elbow then attach the silicone
tube.
Failure to properly install the air inlet elbow and attach
the silicone tube can affect combustion of the boiler
which can result in substantial property damage,
serious injury, or death.
6. Open the manual gas shut off valve to the unit.
Before placing the boiler back into operation, test
all gas connections for leaks and repair if leaks are
found.
Do not check for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a
bubble test. Failure to test for gas leaks can result in
substantial property damage, serious injury, or death.

5. Combustion Test and Adjustments
The installer MUST perform a complete combustion check to
ensure the following combustion levels are met at high and
low input firing rates and the burner is operating at optimum
conditions.
The combustion testing and adjustments must be
performed by a qualified installer, service agency or
the gas supplier. All combustion measurements must
be performed with calibrated equipment to ensure
proper readings and accuracy. Refer to Table 1 to
check the combustion is within the acceptable range.
Failure to perform a complete combustion test at both
high and low input rates may result in incomplete
combustion and the production of carbon monoxide,
which can cause severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
1. Touch simultaneously on the up and down soft
keys for 3 seconds to access the functions for the
installer. See Fig. 5.

3. Press the RIGHT button to highlight the Manual
Operation icon then press the CENTER button.
4. Press the CENTER button while the FAN icon is
highlighted to manually fire the burner and power
the CH circulator. See Fig. 6.
An adequate CH load must be present to dissipate the heat
generated during the combustion test. If an adequate CH
load is not available, an indirect water heater can be used to
dissipate the heat by creating a DHW call which will enable the
DHW circulator.
5. Press the RIGHT button to adjust the firing rate to
100% (high fire). Hold down the RIGHT button to
rapidly increase the firing rate.
6. If the combustion levels during high fire are outside
the recommended combustion settings (see Table 1),
adjust the THROTTLE SCREW (see Fig. 7) using a flat-
blade screwdriver as follows:
Counter-clockwise adjustment of the THROTTLE
SCREW at High Fire (100% firing rate):
O
2
decreases and CO
2
increases
Clockwise adjustment of the THROTTLE SCREW at
High Fire (100% firing rate):
O
2
increases and CO
2
decreases
7. Once the combustion level is set at high fire, manually
place the boiler into low fire mode by pressing the
LEFT button to adjust firing rate down to 1% (low
fire).
8. If the combustion level (O
2
or CO
2
) during low fire is
