Standard inspection and maintenance operations

102
We recommend having the boiler inspected and serviced at regular
intervals.
Caution
Do not neglect to service the boiler. Contact a qualified
professional or take out a maintenance contract for the obligatory
annual servicing of the boiler.
Failure to service the appliance voids the warranty.
Caution
Adapt the frequency of inspection and maintenance to the
conditions of use. This particularly concerns boilers used
continuously (for specific processes).
Danger of electric shock
Before service work is started, the boiler has to be de-energised
and secured from accidentally being switched back on.
Caution
Have an inspection carried out and the flues swept at least once a
year or more, depending on the regulations in force in your
country.
Caution
Only qualified professionals are authorised to carry out
maintenance work on the boiler and the heating system.
Caution
After maintenance or repair work, check the entire heating system
to ensure that there are no leaks.
Caution
Only genuine spare parts may be used.
