4 Start-up instructions

Read the instructions before start-up for your

safety.

AThis unit is fitted with an igniter that automatically starts the

ignition 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 valve 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 fittings that were under water.

WARNING!

RISK TO LIFE

due to not observing the start-up

instructions and resulting incorrect

operation.

If these instructions are not followed

exactly, a fire or explosion may be

caused with serious property damage

or loss of life or serious injury.

Observe the start-up instructions.

WARNING!

DANGER OF EXPLOSION

If you smell gas there is a danger of

explosion..

No open flame. No smoking.

Prevent 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 page 9 of

this manual.

1. Carry out leak test (page 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 page 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 aquasmart control in operation

The boiler is fully functional with the factory-installed

aquasmart.

3. Turn on ON/OFF switch (contractor installed) (ON

position). This turns 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).

4.2 Then carry out start-up procedures.

The following start-up procedures must be carried out

regardless of the control type.

5. Look at the igniter through the sight glass in the

burner housing.
