WATER CONNECTIONS

This appliance is supplied with a relief valve(s) sized in
accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,
Section IV ("Heating Boilers"). The relief valve(s) is
installed in the vertical position and mounted in the hot
water outlet. No valve is to be placed between the relief
valve, and the appliance. To prevent water damage, the
discharge from the relief valve shall be piped to a suitable
floor drain for disposal when relief occurs. No reducing
couplings or other restrictions shall be installed in the
discharge line. The discharge line shall allow complete
drainage of the valve and line. Relief valves should be
manually operated at least once a year.
This appliance has five venting options. They are:
1. Conventional Negative Draft Venting
Conventional negative draft venting with vertical
termination.
2. E+ with a Vertical Conventional Vent
E+Vent with a vertical conventional vent for flue
products and a combustion air pipe from either the
sidewall or roof top.
3. Direct Venting with Sidewall Terminations
Direct vent with sidewall terminations for flue
products and combustion air.
4. Direct Venting with Vertical Terminations
Direct vent with vertical through-roof
terminations for flue products and combustion air.
5. Outdoor Installation
Outdoor installation consists of the installation of
a special vent cap / top assembly, gas valve cover,
deflectors, and a weatherproof junction box.
All appliances are shipped from the factory
equipped for conventional negative draft venting.
All other optional vent systems require the
installation of specific vent kits and venting
materials. See the Installation and Service Manual
for a detailed explanation of the installation
requirements for each venting system, components
used and part numbers of vent kits for each model.
Provisions for combustion and ventilation air must be in
accordance with Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and
Ventilation, of the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1, in Canada, the latest edition of CGA
Standard B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning
Appliances and Equipment, or applicable provisions of the
local building codes.
E+ Vent and Direct Vent Units
These optional venting systems use two pipes, one pipe to
exhaust flue products and one pipe to supply combustion
air directly to the appliance. The optional vent systems
have specific material and installation requirements. The
combustion air pipe for the optional vent systems may
terminate horizontally with a sidewall air inlet or vertically
with a rooftop air inlet, based on the venting system
installed. A detailed explanation of the installation
requirements for each venting system, components used
and part numbers of vent kits for each model is included in
the Installation and Service Manual. No additional
combustion air openings are required for the mechanical
room when the optional two pipe venting systems are
properly installed.

IMPORTANT:
Examine the venting system at least once a year.
Check all joints and vent pipe connections for
tightness. Also check for corrosion or
deterioration. Immediately correct any problems
observed in the venting system.
WARNING
Using other vent or air intake materials, failure
to properly seal all seams and joints or failure to
follow vent pipe manufacturer's instructions can
result in personal injury, death or property
damage. Mixing of venting materials will void
the warranty and certification of the appliance.
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR
REQUIREMENTS FOR
CONVENTIONALLY VENTED
APPLIANCES
CAUTION
Under no circumstances should the equipment room
ever be under a negative pressure. Particular care
should be taken where exhaust fans, attic fans, clothes
dryers, compressors, air handling units, etc., may take
away air from the unit.

The combustion air supply must be completely free of any
chemical fumes which may be corrosive to the appliance.
Common chemical fumes which must be avoided are
fluorocarbons and other halogenated compounds, most
commonly present as refrigerants or solvents, such as
Freon, trichlorethylene, perchlorethylene, chlorine, etc.
These chemicals, when burned form acids which quickly
attack the heat exchanger finned tubes, tube headers, flue
collectors, and the vent system. The result is improper
combustion and a non-warrantable, premature appliance
failure.
EXHAUST FANS: Any fan or equipment which exhausts
air from the mechanical room may deplete the combustion
air supply and/or cause a down draft in the venting system.
Spillage of flue products from the venting system into an
occupied living space can cause a very hazardous condition
that must be immediately corrected. If a fan is used to
supply combustion air to the boiler room, the installer must
make sure that it does not cause drafts which could lead to
nuisance operational problems with the appliance.
FIG. 3 Ignition Module
The unit has a lighted ON/OFF power switch on the outer
cabinet (left side) and five (5) LED indicators on the
electronic ignition control module to monitor the units
operation.
Listed below are items that must be checked to ensure safe
reliable operations. Verify proper operation after servicing.
1. Examine the venting system at least once a year. Check
more often in first year to determine inspection interval.
Check all joints and pipe connections for tightness,
corrosion or deterioration. Clean screens in the venting
air intake system as required. Have the entire system,
including the venting system, periodically inspected by
a qualified service agency.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation.

2. Using the view port, located below the water
connections, visually check main burner flames at each
start up after long shutdown periods or at least every six
months.
FIG. 4 Burner Flame Patterns
a. Normal Flame: A normal flame is blue, with
slight yellow tips, with a well defined inner
cone and no flame lifting.
b. Yellow Tip: Yellow tip can be caused by
blockage or partial obstruction of air flow to
the burner(s).
c. Yellow Flames: Yellow flames can be caused
by blockage of primary air flow to the
burner(s) or excessive gas input. This
condition MUST be corrected immediately.
d. Lifting Flames: Lifting flames can be caused
by over firing the burner(s) or excessive
primary air.
If improper flame is observed, examine the venting system,
ensure proper gas supply and adjust the combustion air.
3. Combustion Air Shutter Adjustment: This appliance
uses a fan assisted combustion process. The fan air
shutter is factory pre-set and should not need
adjustment in most cases. If adjustment is required, the
fan air shutter may be manually adjusted to a dimension
specified for each model.
4. Flue Gas Passageways Cleaning Procedures: Any sign
of soot at the burners indicate a need for cleaning. The
following cleaning procedure must only be performed
by a qualified serviceman or installer. Proper service is
required to maintain safe operation. Properly installed
and adjusted units seldom need flue cleaning.
All gaskets on disassembled components must be replaced
with new gaskets on reassembly. Gasket kits are available
from your distributor.
a. Turn off main power to appliance.
b. Turn off main manual gas shutoff to appliance.
c. Remove the front outer jacket panels.
d. Remove gas valve from the manifold.
e. Remove screws from manifold mounting
brackets. Pull manifold(s) / orifice assembly away from
burners. Remove hose from burner tap.
f. Remove mounting screws from each burner and
slide burner out toward front of appliance. Use caution
to prevent damage to burner gaskets, refractory, hot
surface igniter or wiring.
g. Remove soot from burners with a stiff bristle
brush. Damaged burners or burner gaskets must be
replaced.
5. Check the heat exchanger surface for sooting. If
present, heat exchanger must be cleaned and problem
corrected. Proceed as follows.
a. Remove manifold/orifice assembly as described
in steps “a” through “e” in “Burner Removal” in the
Installation and Service Manual.
b. Disconnect wiring from hot surface igniter and
hose from burner tap.
c. Remove inner combustion chamber door mounting
screws, tilt slightly and slide door assembly out toward
front of appliance. Use caution to prevent damage to
refractory, hot surface igniter, hose and wiring.
d. Check "V" baffles on top of heat exchanger.
Remove and clean if necessary.
e. Remove soot from heat exchanger with a stiff
bristle brush. Use a vacuum to remove loose soot from
surfaces and inner chamber.

HEAT EXCHANGER CLEANING

f. Carefully reinstall combustion chamber door,
jacket panels, dividers, burners, manifolds wires and
hoses. Use new gasket material for proper air seal.
g. Reassemble and test for gas leaks.
h. Cycle appliance and check for proper operation.
An appliance installed in a dust or dirt contaminated
atmosphere will require cleaning of the burners on a 3 to 6
month schedule or more often, based on severity of
contamination. Contaminants can be drawn in with the
combustion air. Non-combustible particulate matter such
as dust, dirt, concrete dust or dry wall dust can block burner
ports and cause non-warrantable failure Use extreme care
when operating an appliance for temporary heat during
new construction. The burners and fan will probably
require a thorough cleaning before the appliance is placed
in service.
6. Combustion Air Fan: The combustion air fan should be
checked every 6 months. Clean as required when
installed in a dust or dirt contaminated location.
7. Water Circulating Pump: Inspect pump every 6 months
and oil as necessary. Use SAE 30 non-detergent oil or
lubricant specified by pump manufacturer.
8. Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
9. Check frequently to be sure the flow of combustion and
ventilation air to the boiler is not obstructed.
Operating Temperature Control
Locating Temperature Control
Remove the control panel door on the front of the appliance
in order to locate and access the temperature control.
Temperature Control Settings
There are three setting knobs on the temperature control
unless your appliance is specified as a boiler only with an
outdoor air reset option. If your appliance is a boiler only
with an outdoor air reset option, there are additional
controls for this option. They are explained under Outdoor
Air Reset Option, page 7.
The three setting knobs on the temperature control are for
Set point, Differential, and High-Fire Offset (see Figure 5).
FIG. 5 Temperature Control
Maximum Set Point Determination
The maximum set point for the control is factory set.
Boilers can be set to 240°F max., water heaters are set to
190°F max., and specialty state and local codes to 200°F.
These maximum set points are established by cutting the
OJ1 and OJ2 jumpers located on the right side of the
temperature controller. The maximum set point is
determined as shown below in TABLE-B.
6
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
The temperature controller is pre-set at the factory
with test settings. You may need to adjust the
settings to meet your specific needs.
NOTE:
Return water temperatures must not be less than
140°F. If lower return water temperatures are
required, follow the instructions in the Low
Temperature Bypass Requirements or Three-Way
Valves section(s) in the Installation and Service
Manual.

TABLE B
Maximum Set point Determination
Anytime that OJ1 is the only jumper cut, a new
overlay is required under the Set Point knob on the
temperature controller because the scale has changed
to a maximum of 190°F.
Anytime the OJ2 jumper is cut (with or without OJ1),
a new overlay is required under the Set Point knob on
the temperature controller because the scale has
changed to a maximum of 200°F.
NOTE:

Set Point
The Set Point knob specifies the target water temperature
in degrees, Fahrenheit. After the water temperature reaches
the set point, the temperature control shuts off the burners.
Differential
The Differential specifies the number of degrees below the
set point that the control will allow the water temperature
to drop before it brings the appliance back on again.
High-Fire Offset
The temperature control operates a two-stage firing system.
The two stages are High-Fire and Low-Fire. High-Fire
operates all burners while Low-Fire operates
approximately one-half of the burners.
The High-Fire knob specifies the number of degrees below
set point that the High-Fire stage shuts down. At that point,
the appliance will continue to operate at the Low-Fire stage
until the set point is reached.
The High-Fire offset knob has settings between 0°F and
20°F. If set at 0°F, the High-Fire offset is disabled and the
appliance will operate at the High-Fire stage until the set
point is reached and the temperature control shuts the
appliance off.
No matter what the High-Fire offset knob is set to, the
appliance will light at Low Fire and operate for
approximately 10 to 120 seconds before the High-Fire
stage actuates.
Outdoor Air Reset Option
For boilers ordered with the Outdoor Air Reset option,
there is an additional control (FIG. 6). There are three
setting knobs for Shutdown, Outdoor Air Max., and Ratio.
There is also a switch to turn the outdoor air shutdown
feature On or Off. An O.A. Sensor is also included.
FIG. 6 Optional Outdoor Air Reset Control
Shutdown
The Shutdown knob specifies the outdoor air lockout
temperature at which the control would prevent the
appliance from operating.
Outdoor Air Max (O.A. Max)
The O.A. Max knob allows a reset up to the maximum
outdoor air temperature specified by this knob setting. At
any outdoor air temperature above the specified setting, the
appliance will not reset but will continue to run at the set
point temperature.
Ratio
The Ratio knob allows control over the reset ratio to be
used during Outdoor Air Reset. The allowable ratios are as
low as 0.5:1 or as high as 1.5:1.
Selecting the 0.5:1 ratio will increase the set point 0.5°F for
every 1.0°F drop in outdoor air temperature up to the
maximum set point temperature.
Selecting the 1.5:1 ratio will increase the set point 1.5°F for
every 1.0°F drop in outdoor air temperature up to the
maximum set point temperature.
See Figure 7 for an outdoor air reset chart example.
FIG. 7 Outdoor Air Control Example Chart
Outdoor Air Shutdown Enable/Disable Switch
The Outdoor Air Shutdown Enable/Disable switch turns
the outdoor air shutdown feature On and Off. Disabling the
Outdoor Air Shutdown feature allows the appliance to
operate regardless of the outdoor air temperature. This is
needed for indirect domestic hot water systems for
example.
