Operating Your Gas Boiler
The key to operating your comfort system is the room
thermostat. A wide variety of thermostats can be used, but all
have one main function — to automatically maintain the
temperature in your home at a level -required for your
personal comfort. The thermostat maintains the indoor
temperature by controlling the operation of the boiler. Dur
ing the heating season whenever the air temperature around
your thermostat drops below the thermostat temperature
setting, the thermostat automatically starts your boiler.
All thermostats have a temperature control selector for
selecting the desired indoor temperature.
Boiler Startup and Shutdown
Your boiler is equipped with one of the three following basic
types of gas control systems:
1. The automatic intermittent ignition system that does not
have a continuously burning pilot flame. This pilot is auto
matically lit by an electric sparking device each time your
thermostat “calls for heat.”
3. The self-generating system has a continuously burning
pilot flame. This pilot is manually ignited with a match
and continues to burn. The powerpile thermocouple
transforms the heat energy of the pilot flame into
electrical energy that operates the controls. No external
power is needed on this system to operate the controls.
WARNING: Never auemiu to manually liglit the pilot
on a boiler thaï ha.-^ an iniermillent ignition sy.siem
w ith a match or other .'Ource of fharue.
2. The manual ignition system that has a continuously burn
ing pilot flame. This pilot is manually ignited with a
match and continues to burn.
