• Boiler Start-up: Place the thermostat to the "highest" setting. The boiler will light and the pump will run. Place the thermostat to the "lowest" setting. The boiler will shut down and the pump will turn off. SET THE THERMOSTAT TO THE DESIRED TEMPERATURE FOR THE HEATING SEASON, AND LEAVE IT THERE.

While observing operation of the boiler, turn the electrical power off. Wait 5 seconds. Turn the power on while observing the boiler flame ignition. It must remain in the fire box for SAFE OPERATION.
