NOTICE: when burning the boiler in the manual
ignition mode, there must be an overheat dump
zone incorporated into the plumbing system.
If heating demand stops during manual operation, the control
will take the unit to low burn. If no heat is used during this
time, the water temperature will continue to rise. When the
aquastat senses 220° F, the feeder will be turned off and
the fire will go out. This will require a manual re-start of the
system. (see page 26 “7 Blinks”)
