Beware of water leaks

EFU
We recommend having the boiler inspected and serviced at regular inter
vals.
Boiler maintenance and cleaning must be carried out at least once a
year by a qualified professional.
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
Failure to service the appliance voids the warranty.
Caution
Maintenance work must be carried out by a qualified professional.
Caution
Only genuine spare parts may be used.
1. Check the hydraulic pressure in the installation.
Note
If the hydraulic pressure is lower than 0.08 MPa (0.8 bar), more
water should be added. Top up the water level in the heating in
stallation to reach a hydraulic pressure of between 0.15 and 0.2
MPa (1.5 and 2.0 bar).
2. Carry out a visual check for any water leaks.
3. Open and close the radiator valves several times a year. This helps
to prevent the valves from seizing up.
4. Clean the outside of the boiler using a damp cloth and a gentle de
tergent.
9.2.1 Checking the water pressure
The water pressure must be a minimum of 0.08 MPa (0.8 bar).
1. If necessary, top up the water in the heating system.
The recommended water pressure when cold is between 0.10 MPa
(1.0 bar) and 0.15 MPa (1.5 bar).
9.2.2 Topping up the installation with water
If necessary, top up the water level in the heating system (recommended
hydraulic pressure between 0.15 and 0.2 MPa (1.5 and 2 bar)).
1. Open the valves on all radiators connected to the heating system.
2. Set the room thermostat to as low a temperature as possible.
3. Put the boiler in shut-down/frost protection mode.
4. Open the fill valve.
5. Close the filling valve when the pressure gauge shows a pressure of
0.15 MPa (1.5 bar).
6. Put the boiler in heating mode.
7. When the pump has stopped, vent again and top up the water pres
sure.
Note
Filling and venting the installation twice a year should be sufficient
to obtain an adequate hydraulic pressure. If it is often necessary
to top up the installation with water, contact your installer.
