SECTION 6
SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS

6.1 GENERAL

Once the appliance has been serviced, the benchmark
Service Record must be completed.
For UK only: It is important that the Benchmark Service
Record is correctly completed and handed to the user.
Failure to install and commission the appliance to the
manufacturers instructions will invalidate the warranty.
To ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of
the appliance, it is recommended that it is checked and
serviced at regular intervals. To ensure correct and safe
operation of the appliance, it is essential that any worn or
failed component be replaced only with a genuine Vokera
spare part. It should be remembered that although cer-
tain generic components may look similar, they will be
specific to an individual appliance or product range. Use
of non-genuine Vokera spare parts could invalidate your
warranty and may pose a potential safety hazard. The
frequency of servicing will depend upon the particular
installation conditions, but in general, once per year
should be sufficient. It is the law that any servicing work
is carried out by competent person such as a Vokera
engineer, an approved service agent, British Gas,
CORGI registered personnel or other suitably qualified
personnel. The following instructions apply to the appli-
ance and its controls, but it should be remembered that
the central heating and the domestic hot water systems
would also require attention from time to time.

6.2 ROUTINE ANNUAL SERVICING

6.3 REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS

Although it is anticipated that this appliance will give years
of reliable, trouble free service, the life span of compo-
nents will be determined by factors such as operating
conditions and usage. Should the appliance develop a
fault, the fault finding section will assist in determining
which component is malfunctioning.
