Excessive wear on the combustion chamber is often due to a leaky installation of the lambda probe. Leak air penetrates the boiler and the control system reduces the air intake too much and the temperatures in the combustion chamber reach impermissible levels. www.eta.co.at...

Check the walls of the ash collection duct, they may be white to brown. If they are black with soot, either too much wood was burned at too low a heat consumption, the fire was not lit correctly at start-up or, in rare cases, the lambda probe gave incorrect measurement values.

Also check if the sealing cord is already "hard". To check, press on the sealing cord with your finger nail. If it can no longer be pressed, it is "hard" already and must be replaced. Especially check seal between carbonization gas extraction duct and the filling chamber. www.eta.co.at...

Maintenance (expert) Calibrate lambda probe 5.21 Calibrate lambda probe Mount the cover on the top. Calibrating the lambda probe The boiler's built-in lambda probe checks the residual oxygen content of the flue gas and uses it to control the combustion. To ensure reliability, the control system autonomously performs an automatic calibration after every 500 hours of operation.
Page 58
If the value does not drop below 12% residual oxygen content, the boiler is receiving leak air. The reason (leaky boiler doors, heat exchanger cover, lambda probe installation, etc.) must be identified and corrected. If possible, perform a flue gas measurement during the heating test. www.eta.co.at...
