Detection/ignition electrode replacement

Replace the detection//ignition electrode in the following cases:
1. Ionisation current <4 μA. To do this, activate the "chimney sweep
function" (chapter "Combustion settings") and set the boiler to the
minimum power. The ionisation value is visible with setting GM008
(chapter "Reading out measured values").
2. Electrode worn.
3. Distances out of range (chapter "Electrode distance").
To remove the electrode:
Disconnect the power supply to the boiler.
PN-0000331
Cut off the gas supply to the boiler.
Remove the front panel on the boiler (case) and remove the electrode
pin and the earthing cable.
Unscrew the 2 screws on the ignition electrode and remove it.
Fit the new electrode with the gasket. To re-assemble, perform the
above actions in reverse order.

Dismantling the water-water exchanger

The stainless steel plate water-water heat exchanger can be easily
removed, as described below:
1. Disconnect the power supply to the boiler;
2. Close the gas cock;
3. Close the heating system return and flow cocks.
4. Drain the system, if possible only the boiler, using the specific drain
cock (E);
5. Empty the water contained in the domestic water circuit by opening a
user cock;
6. Remove the silencer, then loosen the two Allen screws Ø 6 mm (A)
securing the heat exchanger and remove it from its seat;
7. Use a natural product (e.g. vinegar) to clean the water-water heat
exchanger;
8. To re-assemble, perform the above actions in reverse order.

1. Disconnect the power supply to the boiler;
2. Close the gas cock;
3. Cut off the gas supply to the boiler.
4. Close the heating system return and flow cocks.
5. Drain the system, if possible only the boiler, using the specific drain
cock.
6. Empty the water from the domestic water circuit by opening a user
cock.
7. Disconnect any piping connections.
8. Remove the clip (1).
9. Remove the pressure sensor (2).
10. Remove the fixing spring (3).
11. Remove the safety valve (4).
12. Remove the motor fixing spring (5).
13. Remove the motor (6).
14. To re-assemble, perform the above actions in reverse order.
