B. Maintenance
1. On a continuous basis:
• Keep the area around the boiler free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
ammable vapors and liquids.
• Keep the area around the combustion air inlet
terminal and the area around the boiler free
from contaminants, including all sources of
hydrocarbons such as bleaches, fabric softeners,
chemicals, sprays, cleaners, paints, paint
removers, refrigerants, and cat boxes. Traces
of these chemicals can be drawn into the boiler,
causing severe corrosion damage to the boiler
and/or objectionable odors.
A. General
1. This manual covers the proper care and use of
the Phantom X Condensing High Efciency Gas
Fired Boiler.
2. Instructions to safely operate and shut down
this boiler are shown in Figure 2 on page 5, as well
as on a label afxed to the boiler. Control locations
shown in Figure 1.
3. Flame Failure: The boiler control will shut
off gas to the burner in the event of ame failure.
If boiler fails to re, call a qualied gas service
technician to diagnose and correct the problem.
4. Combustion Air/Vent System Blockage: The
boiler control will shut down the burner if there is
a blockage in the combustion air or vent pipe such
as a bee’s nest or ice. If boiler fails to re, call a
qualied gas service technician to diagnose and
correct the problem. After removing a blockage, it
may be necessary to press the control reset button to
restart the boiler.
WARNING
Asphyxiation Hazard. In the event that the
ignition system on an Phantom X boiler does
not permit the boiler to re, there is either a
problem with the ignition system or a problem
with the vent system. Call a qualied gas
service technician to diagnose and correct
the problem.
A shutdown of the burner due to the pressure
switch is an indication that there is a problem
with the vent system, such as a blockage. The
boiler pressure switch should only be reset
after a qualied gas service technician has
diagnosed and corrected the venting problem
that caused the pressure switch to open.
• Keep the boiler room ventilation openings open
and unobstructed.
• Do not expose the boiler to large amounts of dust
such as that generated by drywall construction or
woodworking.
2. On a monthly basis:
WARNING
If any of the below listed conditions is found,
follow instructions “TO TURN OFF GAS TO
APPLIANCE” in Figure 2 and contact a qualied
gas service technician to correct the problem
before placing the boiler back in service. Failure
to correct these conditions could result in
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
• Inspect vent and combustion air intake terminals
for obstruction or damage due to impact or
excessive temperature.
• Inspect vent and combustion air exterior wall
penetrations to be sure they are weather tight.
• Inspect the vent and combustion air intake
system for obstructions, loose joints, condensate
leakage, sags in horizontal runs of pipe,
corrosion, or other deterioration.
• Inspect water and gas lines for leaks.
• Remove boiler front door and inspect for carbon
(soot) in or near the burner compartment,
condensate drain leaks or blockage, or
deterioration of the visible controls, wiring, or
sheet metal components.
• Inspect ame for true yellow tipping. Adjust
thermostat to highest setting to turn on boiler and
view ames through observation glass with front
door removed. On high re the ame should be
stable and mostly blue. No true yellow tipping
should be present, however intermittent ecks of
yellow and orange in the ame caused by dust in
air are normal. See Figure 3. If the burner ame
looks satisfactory, adjust thermostat to normal
setting and reinstall boiler front door.
3. On an annual basis: have a qualied gas service
technician perform a more detailed inspection
of the burner, heat exchanger, controls, and vent
system and provide maintenance as specied in the
Installation, Operating, and Service Instructions.
