4. MAINTENANCE
To maintain the machine at maximum efciency, have a Gas Safe
Engineer or other qualied personnel perform a maintenance
check at least once a year.
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, opening or disas-
sembling the panels, switch off the device and turn off the gas
supply. Check the main burner and the pilot ame, the ignition
electrode, the safety valve and that there is no gas or water lea-
kage. Check that there is nothing obstructing the passages within
the heat exchanger or ue.
To clean the outside of the panels utilize a cloth with soap and
water. Do not use solvents, powders or abrasive sponges.
Do not clean the device and/or its parts with ammable materials
(e.g. petrol, alcohol, diesel etc.).
4.a Removing the casing
To remove the outer casing follow the steps below:
- Remove the selector knobs (A and B)
- Remove the screws (C)
- Pull the bottom of the casing forwards until clear of the gas/
water spindles
- Shift the casing upwards to free it from the upper and lateral
hooks
- Shift the casing forwards
- To reinsert the casing, follow the above steps in reverse order.

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTIONS
There is no spark - appliance spark wire is disconnected
- piezoelectric mechanism broken
- the electrode is damaged
- reconnect
- test, replace
- replace
The pilot does not switch on when there
is a spark
- pilot injector blocked
- electrode activation position needs
changing
- no gas supply
- air in the gas tubes
- clean by immersing in solvent or replace
- adjust
- open the appliance gas isolation valve
- purge air by turning on all gas rings on
hob for 30 seconds
The pilot does not stay on - thermocouple faulty
- broken magnetic valve
- ue sensor faulty or activated
- replace
- replace
- check ueing/ventilation
- replace
Pilot on but the main burner does not
ignite
- insufcient water pressure
- the diaphragm is broken
- Increase the external water supply
pressure
- rotate the knob B counter clockwise
- replace
The burner does not switch off when the
water turns off
- contamination on the gas valve seat
- gas valve push rod is locked in the open
position
- check the gas pressure
- test, clean
- Check the correct operation of the cold
water push rod , dis-assemble, clean or
replace
- if the inlet gas pressure exceeds the
specication replace the pressure
regulator on the external bottle or tank
Delayed burner activation - pilot burner ame is too far from main
burner ame or it is too short
- check inlet gas pressure, clean injector
and pilot burner
The heat exchanger ns becomes sooty
in a small amount of time
- poor draught, adverse weather condi-
tions or dusty surroundings
- yellow ame
- excess gas consumption
- check the ue installation
- check the gas type and clean the burner
- check gas pressure and adjust
4.b Troubleshooting: problems and solu-
tions
For the best functioning of the water heater, to prolong its lifetime
and ensure that it is always safe, it should be inspected at least
once a year by a gas safe engineer. The gas safe engineer is to
perform the following maintenance operations:
- Remove any rust from the burner
- Remove any deposit from the electrodes
- Clean the combustion chamber
- Check the ignition, switching off and general functionality of the
appliance
- Check that the gas and water pipes and connections are sealed
Warning: the following repair instructions are only to be perfor-
med by Gas Safe Engineers or other qualied personnel.
