3.3 YEARLY APPLIANCE CHECK AND
MAINTENANCE
e following checks and maintenance should be per-
formed once a year to ensure operation, safety and e-
ciency of the appliance over time.
- Clean the ue side of the heat exchanger.
- Clean the main burner.
- Check the correct positioning, integrity and cleanliness of the
detection and ignition electrode; remove any oxide present.
- If deposits are detected in the combustion chamber they must
be removed and the heat exchanger coils must be cleaned using
nylon or broomcorn brushes; it is forbidden to use brushes
made of metal or other materials that may damage the combus-
tion chamber. It is also forbidden to use alkaline or acid deter-
gents.
- Check the integrity of the insulating panels inside the combus-
tion chamber and if damaged replace them.
- Visually check for water leaks or oxidation from/on connec-
tions and traces of condensate residues inside the sealed cham-
ber.
- Check the contents of the condensate drain trap.
- Visually check that the siphon is properly lled with condensate
and top it up if necessary.
- Check that there are no material residues in the condensate
drain siphon clogging the condensate passage; also check that
the entire condensate drainage circuit is clear and ecient.
- In the event of obstructions (dirt, sediment, etc.) with conse-
quent leakage of condensate in the combustion chamber, one
must replace the insulating panels.
- Check that the burner and gas manifold seal gaskets are intact
and perfectly ecient, otherwise replace them. In any case the
gaskets must be replaced at least every two years, regardless of
their state of wear.
- Check that the burner is intact, that it has no deformations or
cuts and that it is properly xed to the combustion chamber lid;
otherwise it must be replaced.
- Visually check that the water safety drain valve is not blocked.
- Check that, aer discharging the system pressure and bringing
it to zero (read on boiler pressure gauge), the expansion vessel
pressure is at 1.0 bar.
- Check that the system static pressure (with system cold and af-
ter relling the system by means of the lling valve) is between 1
and 1.2 bar.
- Check visually that the safety and control devices have not been
tampered with and/or shorted, in particular:
- temperature safety thermostat;
- system pressure switch.
- Check the integrity of the storage tank magnesium anode (if
present).
- Check the condition and integrity of the electrical system and in
particular:
• the power supply wires must be housed in the cable glands;
• t h e r e m u s t b e n o t r a c e s o f b l a c k e n i n g o r b u r n i n g .
- Check correct lighting and operation.
- Ensure correct calibration of the burner in domestic water and
central heating phases.
- Check correct operation of control and adjustment devices and
in particular:
• system control thermostat intervention;
• domestic hot water control thermostat intervention.
- Check sealing eciency of gas circuit and the internal system.
- Check the intervention of the device against no gas ionisation

- Check chiller line connections.
- Check mesh lter on system return
- Check the correct ow rate on plate heat exchanger.
- Check the integrity of the internal insulation.
