2. Clean the combustion head.
3. Inspect the ignition electrodes -
Loosen the electrode clamp screw
and withdraw the electrode
assembly. Wipe clean and check for
any cracks in the ceramic insulation.
Replace if necessary.
4. Nozzle - The nozzle should be
replaced on an annual service -
Check that the nozzle size and type
