Heating System Maintenance - Including Boilers; Use And Inspections; Possible Failures And Troubleshooting - Atmos C15E Instruction Manual

33. Heating system maintenance - including boilers

Inspect at least once every 2 weeks. If necessary, refill the system with water. If the boilers are out of
operation during wintertime, a risk of water freezing in the system arises. Therefore, we recommend
letting all the water out from the system or fill it with an anti-freeze. In other situations, only let water
out if necessary and keep without water for as little time as possible. After the heating season is over,
clean the boiler thoroughly and replace damaged parts. Do not leave parts replacement for the last
moment; prepare your boiler for the heating season as early as Spring.

34. Use and inspections

The operator must always act in compliance with the usage and maintenance instruction manual. Any
adjustments to the boilers which may lead to operator's or other persons' health risk are prohibited.
The boiler may be operated by a person older than 18 years who is familiar with the instruction manu-
al and with the appliance operation, and who is in compliance with the Section 14 of the 24/1984 Coll.
government decree. It is prohibited to leave unattended children in the vicinity of operating boilers.
When operating solid-fuel boilers it is prohibited to use flammable liquids for ignition. It is also pro-
hibited to increase the boiler nominal output during operation by any means (known as overheating).
It is prohibited to place any flammable items on the boilers or within the vicinity of their loading and
ash-pan apertures. Removed ash must be placed into vessels from non-combustible materials fitted
with a lid. Operating boilers must be occasionally inspected by the operator. The user may only carry
out repairs consisting of replacement of delivered spare part (such as fireclay shaped piece or seal-
ing cord etc.). When in operation, always check that the boiler doors and cleaning apertures are well
sealed. The user must not tamper with the boiler construction or its electrical installation. The boiler
must be well cleaned and in time ensuring that all ducts are always obstacle-free. Loading door and
ash-pan door must always be well closed.
