a
a gas leak detector. Do not use methods that can cause
explosions!
CHECK EXHAUST AND COMBUSTION AIR PIPE SYSTEM
Clear vent systems of any obstructions, corrosion, physical damage,
water stains, rust. Verify the connection between the single components.
Verify the outside terminations are clear. Clean the screens and the

CHECKING FOR WIRING AND CONNECTIONS
Check that all wiring is securely fastened and in good condition without
any cracking or alteration of isolation or presence of corrosion in metallic
connection.
BURNER GASKET INSPECTION
You must maintain the boiler as outlined in this manual and have the
boiler started up and serviced at least annually by a qualified service
technician to ensure boiler/system reliability.
This includes a combustion test and the cleaning of the combustion
chamber.
When disassembling the heat exchanger it is crucial to inspect the Burner
Gasket (green: part number 7738004985) for damage.
It is a must to replace the burner gasket when servicing and required if
there is any signs of wear, deformity or discoloration of the gasket and in
any case not later than every two years.
WATER QUALITY
Check water quality according to 4.3 Water chemistry guidelines.
WATER FLOW
Verify the check valves functionality. It is possible to do it, without
removing them, using the following procedure:
• Assuming both modules of the boilers are in stand-by, start one of
them;
• Check the water flow of the Off module on its module screen;
• If the value is lower than 3 l/min (0.8 GPM), check valve is OK;
• If it is higher, remove the valve and check/clean it;
• Repeat the same procedure for the other module.
Spare parts list is available at BOSCH boilers website:

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when
a
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing
