Clean vent termination & air
intake screens
— CGs boilers only
1. Remove all lint and debris from both the boiler air
intake screen and the flue discharge screen.
The boiler control module will sense blockage of
the air intake or flue and lockout if the blockage is
excessive. It will signal the failure by flashing the
appropriate indicator lights on the control board.
2. If removing the debris does not allow the boiler to
operate correctly afterwards, contact your qualified
service technician to inspect the boiler and vent/
air systems.
Check condensate drain
system
1. Inspect condensate drain fittings and tubing. Verify
that condensate can flow freely to drain.
