Slant/Fin VICTORY II VHS Series Guide

Residential • Gas-Fired • Hot Water Boilers
®
WELCOME TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMER
You are now the owner of a Slant/Fin Concept 21
gas-fired boiler, another quality heating product
designed and manufactured by an industry leader,
to provide your family with many years of reliable
comfort and trouble-free performance.
The care and maintenance of your new boiler is
important to prevent a hazardous condition which
might result from lack of proper servicing.
Therefore, you should perform regular “owner”
inspections as described in this manual (and report
any concerns to a qualified service technician) as
well as have your boiler serviced by a qualified
service technician at least once a year, preferably
before the beginning of each heating season.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Locate, read and then follow the procedures on the
lighting instructions label attached to the boiler. For
reference, we have reproduced those instructions
in this manual. A part number is printed in the
lower right corner of the label; use this part number
to find your particular lighting reference located at
the rear of this manual.

Your boiler must be installed, serviced and repaired
by a qualified service technician only. Owner must
not attempt to install, service or repair this boiler.
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to
shut off, DO NOT turn off or disconnect the
electrical supply to the pump. Instead, shut off the
gas supply at a location external to the appliance.
DO NOT use this boiler if any part has been
underwater. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the boiler and to replace any
part of the control system and any gas control
which has been underwater.
DO NOT attempt to add water to boiler or system.
An automatic water feed should have been installed
(based on local codes) to maintain proper water
level; ask your installer if this device was installed.
Keep boiler area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
DO NOT store anything against the boiler or let
anything accumulate in area surrounding the boiler.
DO NOT allow anything to accumulate around or
block air flow at outside vent terminal (i.e. leaves,
shrubs, snow).
For closet installations, DO NOT allow anything to
block air flow at closet ventilation air openings.
DO NOT use water from heating system for cleaning
or any other use.
DO NOT place clothing on the boiler or venting
system to dry.
At least once each month during the heating season,
perform the following inspections:
Check vent tubing: Look for leakage at joints and sagging
of vent tubing runs. If evident, call a qualified service
technician.
Check vent terminal (outside):
Look for and remove any
obstructions (i.e. leaves, shrubs,
snow).
Check water piping: Look for
leaks around boiler and at all
joints. If evident, call a qualified
service technician.
Check system water pressure:
The temperature/pressure gage
indicates the pressure in the boiler
for each water temperature. For
most installations, it should
indicate about 12 psi to 15 psi for
70° to 100° water temperatures
and from 15 psi to 25 psi for
temperatures up to 240°. Ask your
installer or service technician to
explain and show you what
normal pressures to look for.
If pressure decreases from
normal, the system is losing
water; if pressure increases from
normal, the boiler relief valve will open to relieve pressure
(water will be evident on floor below relief valve discharge
piping). In either case, call a qualified service technician.
Check condensate drain and drain trap: Periodic
inspection should be made of this assembly for
deterioration of the tubing and to insure that the trap is
not plugged. If it is plugged or appears to have excessive
sediment in it, it should be removed from the drain
assembly, straightened out to clear the obstruction,
reformed, filled with water and reinstalled as before.

At least once a year, check the air filter: Replace it
(recommended) or clean it. Remove the boiler front
cover to access the filter box. Turn latches 1/4 turn on
filter box cover to remove filter.
Slant/Fin replacement air filter, part number 66-0515,
must be used. The filter can be cleaned with soap and
water. Shake off excess moisture and after drying,
spray with an adhesive-type air filter spray. Make sure
filter box cover is secured tightly after replacing.
In the case of severe outside dust/dirt conditions which
cause above-average accumulation on the filter, it may
be necessary to change it (or clean it) more often. This
procedure may be done by user or service technician,
providing a record is kept of each replacement or
cleaning date to assure an established diligent routine.
ANNUAL TECHNICIAN INSPECTIONS
Before each heating season, call your qualified
service technician to perform the following
inspections (and repair any problems encountered).
Check vent system: For corrosion, obstructions, leaks
or sagging. Will require disassembling and resealing of
vent tubing.
Check water system: For water piping leaks, properly
filled boiler and proper system air elimination.
Check gas piping: For gas valve and piping leaks.
Check boiler controls: For correct settings and
functioning. To include safety controls and calibration.
Check air filter: Replace (recommended) or clean.
System heat exchanger and burner: For sooting,
corrosion or improper operation.
Combustion blower: It’s a sealed component which
does not require lubrication.
Circulator: Some models require lubrication. S.A.E. #20
oil recommended .
The Concept 21 control board, located behind the boiler
front cover, has a set of LED indicator lights which provide
important information at a glance about boiler operation:
Power Indicator (GREEN): Steady ON means there is
electrical power to the boiler. Light will come on when
power is provided to boiler.
Diagnostic Indicator (RED): Steady ON or intermittent
flashing indicates a system operation problem.
Flame Indicator (AMBER): Steady ON means the boiler is
running and proper flame detection is sensed.
WHAT THE INDICATOR
LIGHTS TELLSYOU
Before calling a qualified service technician, check the
following first:
• Room thermostat is calling for heat?
• Fuse or circuit breaker is OK?
• Boiler service switch is ON?
• Gas supply is available to gas meter?
• Manual main gas shutoff is open?
• Boiler gas valve knob is in ON position?
Then, observe indicator lights: You can help provide
useful information to the service technician so the
technician can arrive with appropriate replacement parts.
Carefully note the red diagnostic indicator light. (It can be
viewed by looking through the vents in the front cover.)
When a system failure occurs, and there’s power to the
boiler, the indicator light will show a series of quick
flashes. There will be a short interval between the series
when the indicator stops flashing.
Count the number of flashes that occur after the short
no-flashing interval. Using the chart above, determine
correct failure code for number of flashes you counted.
Call a qualilfied service technician and report your boiler
model plus the number of flashes you counted and the
code for the flashes.
Note: The boiler will attempt restart each hour and after a
power interruption. If boiler restarts, diagnostic light will
turn OFF. If boiler does not restart, diagnostic light will
return to either steady-on or the series of flashes.
