boiler is being drained to prevent freezing, the
d.h.w. heat exchanger must be removed and
inverted to drain fully or an antifreeze solution
added.

Combustion analysis check

If it is necessary to carry out a combustion analysis
remove the plugs indicated in Fig. 9.1.
Reference figures are given in the sections 4.5, 4.6
or 4.7 of this manual (Flue gas figures).
9.6 Cleaning the primary heat
exchanger
1 Take off the front of the case.
2 Take off the removable front of the air--- tight
chamber and the front panel of the combustion
chamber.
If you notice dirt on the fins of the primary heat ex-
changer (31 on page 12):
3 cover the sloping surfaces of the burner (29 on
page 12) entirely in a protective layer (sheets of
newspaper or similar).
4 Brush out the primary heat exchanger (31 on
page 12) with a bristle paintbrush.
9.7 Checking the pressurisation
in the expansion vessel
Empty the central heating system as described in
section 9.4 of this chapter and check that the pres-
sure in the expansion vessel is not less than 1 bar.
See also section 4.4 page 14 of this manual.
If the pressure is lower, take steps to correct the
pressure level.
9.8

Cleaning the burner

The sloping and multi--- gas type burner (29 on
page 12) does not need special maintenance, but
it is sufficient to dust it with a bristle paintbrush.
To reach the burner:
1 Take off the front of the case.
2 Take off the removable front of the air--- tight
chamber and the front panel of the combustion
chamber.
3 Brush out the burner with a bristle paintbrush.

Checking the flue

Have the integrity of the flue outlet pipe (49 on
page 13) air intake pipe (50 on page 13), checked
periodically, the venturi device* (46 on page 13)
cleaned and the efficiency of the flue safety circuit
checked at least once a year.
* For details see the section Fan, venturi device
and air pressure switch in the service manual.
For all the above maintenance operations it is ad-
visable to call an approved Service Engineer.

Drain pipe inspection

Check the soundness and integrity of the conden-
sate drain pipe.
Verify the cleaness and correct filling of the con-
densate traps.
9.11 Visual inspection of
appliance
Visually inspect all water joints, seals and connec-
tions for any evidence of leakage and retighten,
grease or replace them as necessary.
9.12

Gas pressures and soundness

Check appliance for gas soundness. Recheck op-
erational pressures and adjust as necessary as
described in section 7.7 page 33 of this manual.
