Cleaning - Viessmann VITODENS Operating Instructions Manual

Cleaning

The appliances can be cleaned with any commercially
available domestic cleaning agent (non-scouring).
Clean the surface of the programming unit with a
microfibre cloth.
Inspection and maintenance
The inspection and maintenance of a heating system
is prescribed by the Energy Saving Ordinance [EnEV -
Germany] and the DIN 4755, DVGW-TRGI 2008 and
DIN 1988-8 standards.
Appliance
Increased contamination raises the flue gas tempera-
ture and thereby increases energy losses. We recom-
mend the appliance is cleaned annually.
DHW cylinder (if installed)
Standards DIN 1988-8 and EN 806 specify that main-
tenance and cleaning should be carried out no later
than 2 years after commissioning and as required
thereafter.
Only a qualified heating contractor should clean the
inside of a DHW cylinder and the DHW connections.
If any water treatment equipment (e.g. a sluice or
injection system) is installed in the cold water supply of
the DHW cylinder, ensure this is refilled in good time.
In this connection, observe the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
Safety valve (DHW cylinder)
The function of the safety valve must be checked
every six months by the user or a contractor through
venting (see valve manufacturer's instructions). The
valve seat may become contaminated.
Potable water filter (if installed)
To maintain high hygienic standards, proceed as fol-
lows:
■ Replace filter element on non-back flushing filters
every six months (visual inspection every
two months).
On back flushing filters, back flush every
■
two months.
Regular maintenance ensures trouble-free, energy effi-
cient, environmentally responsible and safe heating.
Your heating system must be serviced by an author-
ised contractor at least every 2 years. For this, it is
best to arrange an inspection and maintenance con-
tract with your local heating contractor.
In addition for Vitocell 100:
We recommend that the correct function of the sacrifi-
cial anode is checked annually by your heating con-
tractor.
The function of the sacrificial anode can be checked
without interrupting the system operation. The heating
contractor will check the earth current with an anode
tester.
Water may drip from the safety valve during a heat-up
process. The outlet is open to the atmosphere and
must not be closed off.
