To ensure efficient safe operation, it is recommended that the boiler is SERVICING serviced annually by a competent person. INSTRUCTIONS Before starting any servicing work, ensure both the gas and electrical supplies to the boiler are isolated and the boiler is cool. Before and after servicing, a combustion analysis should be made via the flue sampling point (please refer to the Installation Manual for further details).
Removing the side panels 1. Remove the screws “B”; 2. Pull the panel away from the boiler, then lift the panel up and away from the boiler (see fig. 1.2). To lower control panel 1. Remove the screws “B” 2. Push the two side panels outward slightly (fig. 1.5) ; 3.
Access to the Combustion Chamber Removing the sealed chamber Removing the combustion cover frontal cover Remove the screws “D” Remove the screws “E” Fig. 1.9 Fig. 1.8 Removing the burner and the 1. Remove the side panels of sealed chamber (fig. 1.10) ; injectors 2.
Removing the electrodes 1. Remove rubber gasket “G” (see fig. 1.13) ; 2. Disconnect ignition leads by pulling downward (see fig. 1.14) ; 3. To remove the flame sensor, disconnect the cable at its only connection point close to the P.C.B. (see fig. 1.15) ; Fig.
Removing the main heat 1. Drain the boiler of water; exchanger 2. Release the two connection nuts “I” connecting the exchanger to the flow and return pipes (see fig. 1.18) ; 3. Pull it straight out (see fig. 1.19). Fig. 1.19 Fig.
Removing the venturi device 1. Disconnect the silicone pipes “M” and remove the screw “N” (see fig. 1.22) ; 2. Extract the venturi (see fig. 1.23) . Fig. 1.22 Fig. 1.23 Removing the fan 1. Disconnect electrical connections and remove screws “O”...
Setting gas pressures Setting the minimum and the maximum power of the boiler 1. Check that the supply pressure to the gas valve is a minimum of 20 mbar for natural gas. 2. To do this, remove the screw “A”. Fit the pipe of the pressure gauge to the pressure connection of the gas valve “B”.

10. Remove the pipe from the pressure gauge and connect screw “C” to the pressure outlet in order to seal off the gas. 11. Carefully check the pressure outlets for gas leaks (valve inlet 40 50 60 70 80 and outlet). IMPORTANT! Whenever you disassemble and reassemble the gas connections, always check for leaks using a soap and water solution.

Removing the spark generator (SIT Tandem gas valve) 1. Disconnect ignition leads “Q1” by pulling upwards (see fig. 1.30) ; 2. Remove the screws “R1” (see fig. 1.31) with a Pozidrive No. 2 star tip screwdriver; 3. Remove the spark generator. Fig.
Removing the gas valve 1. Disconnect all the cables from the solenoid and modureg; 2. Remove the spark generator; 3. Release the top nut “S” using a 30 mm open ended spanner (see fig. 1.31) ; 4. Remove the screws “T” from the bottom of the gas valve pipe (see fig.
Removing the safety valve 1. Loosen nut “V” (see fig. 1.38); 2. Remove the valve. Fig. 1.38 Removing the automatic air vent 1. Unscrew valve “W” (see fig. 1.39) . Fig. 1.39 Removing the main circuit flow switch 1. Remove the cable of the main circuit flow switch “Y”; 2.
Removing the pump 1. Unscrew “Z” and remove the electrical connection (see fig. 1.41) ; 2. Release the nuts “A1” and remove the pump (see fig. 1.42) . Fig. 1.41 Fig. 1.42 Removing the pressure gauge 1. Remove the inspection panel (see fig.
Access to the Control Checking fuse 1. Remove the inspection panel System (see fig. 1.6 - 1.7) ; 2. Remove fuse (see fig. 1.50) . Fig. 1.50 Removing the time clock 1. Remove the inspection panel (see fig. 1.6 - 1.7) ; 2.
N.B. It is possible to by-pass the time clock in the event of failure by simply unplugging the electrical connection from the P.C.B. (see fig. 1.48 ). This will revert control of the central heating to the room stat connection on the reverse of the control panel.
FAULT FINDING Fault Finding Guide It is possible to detect and correct any defect by using the standard fault finding diagrams described in this chapter. (Flow-chart) Preliminary Checks Make sure that: 1) There is sufficient water in the system 2) The gas is turned on 3) The electricity to the boiler is on Press the...
