Vitoflex 300-RF Service & Maintenance
Doors: for safety keep firing and ash pit doors tightly closed
CAUTION
FIRE HAZARD:
The boiler must NEVER be operated with the doors open!
Any burning bits that escape could start a fire.
RISK OF INJURY:
If the doors are open during operation, sparks or flames
could leap out.
Equipment for dissipating excess heat: a competent
specialist should examine the operational reliability of
the thermal safety flush valve annually. The safety
heat exchanger must not by any means be used as an
operational heat exchanger.
Seals: for the functioning and controllability of the boiler,
it is important that no unwanted air can enter unchecked
through leaks.
The doors and lids have to shut tight - any damaged
seals must be replaced immediately. Tighten the retaining
screws and handles well.
Operation, cleaning and maintenance: bear in mind that
even the best product can only fulfill its functions well,
doing so for a long time and free of malfunctions, if
operated and maintained properly.
IMPORTANT
Compliance with the "Cleaning" section is mandatory!
