Inspection and maintenance
> Reconnect the gas supply (3) to the gas valve, ensur-
ing that a new sealing washer is used and correctly
located. Use the spanner flat at the flexible gas line to
hold the gas fittings.

Cleaning the condensate siphon

a
Danger!
Risk of poisoning from escaping flue gas!
An empty or insufficiently filled condensate
siphon may allow flue gas to escape into the
room air.
> Fill the condensate siphon with water
before starting up the boiler.

> Remove the lower part (1) of the condensate siphon
by turning the bayonet catch in anticlockwise direc-
tion.
> Clean the siphon part section by rinsing it out with
water.
> Fill the lower part with water until about 10 mm below
the upper edge.
> Fasten the lower part again on the condensate siphon.

Checking the expansion vessel

Fig. 7.11 Checking expansion vessel admission pressure
i
It is not necessary to perform this check
every year – a check every three years is suf-
ficient.
> Ensure the boiler CH service valves are closed.
> Release the pressure from the boiler.
> Remove valve cap from expansion vessel charge
point.
> Check that the internal charge pressure of the expan-
sion vessel is between (0.75 and 0.9 bar) 75 and
90 kPa.
If the pressure is lower than this the vessel should be
repressurised using an air pump.
> Refit the valve cap.
> Repressurise boiler and heating system.

Recommissioning the boiler

1
> Carry out electrical safety checks.
> Turn on the electrical supply.
> Open the boiler CH service valves.
> Carry out function checks of boiler operation as previ-
ously detailed.
