    CLEANING Use a cloth damped in soapy water to clean the boiler’s external panelling. To remove stubborn marks, use a cloth damped in a 50% mix of water and denatured alcohol or a suitable cleaning product. Carefully dry the boiler after cleaning. The combustion chamber and flues must be cle- aned periodically by r’s Technical Assistance Service or by a qualified technician (see page 35).

    DRAINING THE CONDENSATE TAU condensing boilers produce a flow of condensate that varies according to operating conditions. The maxi- mum hourly production of condensate is shown in the technical specifications table for each individual model. The condensate drain system must be suitably dimen- sioned to cope with the flow produced.
  • Page 26 If it ever proves necessary to neutralise the condensate that HN2-NH3 forms in the flue gas stack, connect the condensate drain fittings of the boiler and flue gas stack together using a ‘T’ union and connect the leg of the ‘T’ to the inlet of the N2 or N3 neutralisation unit.

  • Page 31: Preparing For Initial Start-Up

    PREPARING FOR INITIAL START-UP It is essential to perform the following checks before starting up or testing the functioning of the boiler. In par- ticular, check that: - The turbulators (1) are correctly positioned (horizontal) inside the heat exchanger tubes and the clips (2) are resting against the wall (3) of the heat exchanger.
  • Page 32: Initial Start-Up

    INITIAL START-UP Once you have completed all the preparatory steps, pro- ceed as follows to start up the boiler for the first time: - Since the control panel incorporates a temperature control function, make sure that the control panel is switched on.
  • Page 33: Checks During And After Initial Start-Up

    CHECKS DURING AND AFTER INITIAL START-UP Once the boiler has started up, make sure that it shuts down and re-starts properly too. Proceed as follows: - Set the boiler thermostat to the required setting (mak- ing sure that the temperature control is in manual mode).
