SERVICING
Annual servicing must be carried out by a competent,
qualified engineer, preferably OFTEC registered and
familiar with Firebird products.
Do not commence service until both the electrical and oil
supply to the boiler have been safely isolated.
THE OIL TANK
Check for oil leaks. Draw off any accumulated water
and sludge from the tank by opening the drain valve.
Turn off the oil supply, remove the filter bowl and wash
the element clean with Kerosene. Fit a new element if
required.
THE BOILER
Remove combustion access door for access to baffles and
to clean heat exchanger.
Cleaning a Firebird condensing boiler:
1. Remove all baffles, including the tubular baffles in the
condensing section and clean them.
2. Remove the condensate trap and clean it, place a tray
under the connection for the trap. Vacuum out any
loose debris from the chamber.
3. Clean the inside of the boiler with a vacuum cleaner.
4. Refit all the baffles and the condensate trap securely.
5. System pressure should not exceed 2 bar at full
operating temperature. The expansion vessel should
be checked during the annual service to ensure that it
is operating correctly.
Check insulation sealing and the silver foil lining in
combustion access door - replace if necessary. Check
graphite seal and replace if necessary. When refitting this
door be careful not to damage the foil and insulation by
over tightening.
Check that the condensate trap is secure in position, clean
and free of combustion debris. Ensure that the condensate
drain is free and not blocked.
Expansion vessel pre -charge pressure should be checked
annually and set according to the system design.
THE BURNER
Please refer to the burner manual for specification and
combustion check information.
Ensure service is recorded in the Boiler Passport.
