    Check the electrical installation To ensure the continued efficient and safe operation of the boiler it is recommended that it is checked and serviced at regular intervals. The frequency of servicing will depend upon the particular installation and usage, but in general once a year should be enough. It is the Law that any servicing is carried out by a competent person approved at the time by the Health and Safety Executive. • Before commencing with a service or replacement of parts isolate the boiler from the electrical supply and turn off the gas supply at the gas isolation valve. • When replacing a part on this appliance, use only spare parts that you can be assured conform to the safety and performance specification that we require. Do not use reconditioned or copy parts that have not been clearly authorised by Glow-worm. • If any electrical connections have been disconnected and after their connection, checks to the earth continuity, polarity, short circuit and resistance to earth must be repeated using a suitable multimeter, as described in chapter "Trouble-shooting ► Fault diagnosis ► Check the electrical installation". • After servicing, complete the relevant Service Interval Record Main board section of the Benchmark Checklist located in this document.
