See Section 13.1
1 Combustion head - Loosen the two screws
securing the combustion head and withdraw the
head. Clean and refit the combustion head.
2 Inspect the ignition electrodes - Remove the
combustion head.
Loosen the electrode clamp screw and withdraw the
electrode assembly. Wipe clean and check for any
cracks in the ceramic insulation. Replace if necessary.
Check the electrode settings
Electrode tips approximately 4 mm apart and 3 to
3.5 mm in front of the nozzle, see Fig 25.
3 Nozzle - The nozzle should be replaced on an
annual service - Check that the nozzle size and type
are correct, refer to table in Section 3.3 and boiler
data label.
With the combustion head removed, loosen the
electrode assembly clamp screw and slide the
electrodes away from the nozzle.
Do NOT attempt to clean the nozzle.
Remove the nozzle using a good fitting spanner
(16 mm). The use of an ill-fitting spanner will
damage the nozzle and could lead to an incorrect
flame pattern. Always check the electrode
settings after replacing the nozzle, see Fig. 25.

it is important that re-commissioning is carried out,
especially combustion checks (CO

level, flue gas
temperature and smoke number) after the boiler
has been serviced.

page 37.
