These boilers are equipped with both a blocked vent
safety switch and a rollout safety switch. The blocked
vent safety switch is located on the draft hood flue stack.
This is a manual reset control used to prevent excessive
spillage of flue gases from the draft hood. The rollout
safety switch is a single use (one time) thermal fuse to
prevent the boiler from operation if flue passages are
blocked. If either of these devices operate to shut down
the burners, follow instructions in the section "To Turn Off
Gas To Appliance" and call your service technician or
gas supplier.
