SERVICING

IMPORTANT.
Point out to the owner that the boiler must have regular
maintenance and cleaning, at least annually, in order to ensure
reliable and efficient operation. Regular attention will also
prolong the life of the boiler and should preferably be
performed at the end of the heating season.
After servicing, complete the service section of the log book and
return to the owner or their representative.
Recommend that a contract for this work should be made with
the regional gas authority or a CORGI registered heating
installer. In IE servicing work must be carried out by a
competent person.
IMPORTANT.
After completing the servicing or replacement of components
always:
• Test for gas soundness.
• Test the burner manifold flanges for soundness. This can
be done with leak detection spray whilst operating the
boiler. The gas valve and controls must be shielded from
the spray.
• Check the water system is correctly filled and free of air. Air
in the boiler could cause damage to the heat exchanger.
For this reason if an automatic air vent is fitted it must never
be shut off.
• Check the inner front and outer jacket panels are correctly
fitted.
• With the system hot examine all water connections for
soundness.
• Check the gas rate and measure the combustion CO/CO
content. Refer to Frame 44 for reference on how to force
the burner to maximum and minimum gas rates. The CO/
CO ratio of the flue gas should not be greater than 0.004
2
ratio.
• Carry out functional checks as appropriate.
