dery or flaky substance) in the flue passages must be cleaned 

as follows:

Remove jacket front and top panels.

•

Confirm that manual gas valve is closed and disconnect gas

line to gas valve at union. Then disconnect pressure switch 

hoses to gas valve and air inlet.

Disconnect wires to gas valve and igniter.

er assembly to boiler.

Remove two igniter screws and very carefully remove the

burner, and gaskets.

Aluminum oxide deposits are water soluble and may be 

•

rinsed away by inserting a hose into the burner opening of 

the casting and slowly running water through the flue side 

of the boiler and out the condensate drain.

!

CAUTION

Debris rinsed away by this method will exit through the 

condensate drain. Be wary of drain lines getting clogged 

and causing water to back up in the bottom of the casting.

Use a flexible handle nylon brush to loosen sediment and

aluminum oxide on all accessible heating surfaces of the 

boiler. Be sure not to get brush stuck in heat exchanger!

After brushing and rinsing, remove any remaining loos-
