Carrying out leak test

35. Open gas shut-off valve in the gas line.

36. Check the gas connection line to the gas valve for

leaks with soap solution. If no leaks are found,

continue with step 38. If any leaks are found, close

gas shut-off valve.

measuring port on the gas valve. Install pressure

measuring nipple and attach a manometer pressure

gauge to measure the manifold pressure.

40. Open gas valve and measure the gas supply

pressure of the boiler. The supply pressure for

natural gas must be between 7" and 10.5" W.C. and

between 11" and 13" W.C. for propane gas. If the

supply pressure for natural gas is not between 7"

and 10.5" W.C. and not between 11" and 13" W.C.

for propane gas, contact the customer service

technician or the gas company.

41. Always follow the start-up instructions on the next

page.

USER NOTE

The boiler has two gas valves. Make all

measurements and adjustments on both

gas valves.

CAUTION!

SYSTEM DAMAGE

due to short-circuit.

zCover the hazardous locations before

checking for leaks.

zDo not spray the leak solution on wiring

openings, plugs or electrical

connections. Do not allow the solution

to drip on these locations.

4 Start-up instructions

Read the instructions before start-up for your

safety.

AThis unit is equipped with an igniter that automatically

starts the pilot burner. Do not attempt to ignite it manually.

BCheck for an odor of gas around the system. This test must

also be conducted at floor level, because some types of

gas are heavier than air and may accumulate at floor level.

CSwitch on the ON/OFF switch on the gas valve by hand

only. Never use a tool as assistance. If you cannot actuate

the ON/OFF switch on the gas valve by hand, do not

attempt to repair it. Contact a qualified technician. Any

attempt to use force or to repair the switch may cause a fire

or explosion.

DDo not operate the unit if any part is under water. Contact

a qualified customer service technician immediately to

have the unit checked and to replace the parts of the

control and gas valves that were under water.

instructions and resulting incorrect

operation.

zIf these instructions are not followed

exactly, a fire or explosion may be

caused with serious property damage

or loss of life or serious injury.

zObserve the start-up instructions.

WARNING!

DANGER OF EXPLOSION

If you smell gas there is a danger of

explosion.

zNo open flame. No smoking.

zPrevent spark formation.

Do not operate electrical switches,

including telephones, plugs or door

bells.

Start-up instructions4

4.1 Making boiler ready for operation

STOP! First read the safety instructions on Îpage 9 of

this manual.

1. Carry out leak test (Îpage 8). Wait five (5) minutes

until all gas residues have dissipated. Finally check

whether there is any smell of gas, including at floor

level. If there is a gas odor: STOP! Follow

instructions in section “B” of the safety instructions

on Îpage 9 of this manual. If there is no sign of a

gas odor, continue with the next step.

2. Open main gas valve.

4.1.1 Placing heating system with aquastat control in operation

The boiler is fully functional with the factory-installed

aquastat.

3. Switch on ON/OFF switch (building side)

(ON position). This switches on the boiler with all its

components. Then continue with step 7.

4. Make sure that the room thermostat signals a heat

requirement (set thermostat at least 10 °F above

room temperature).
