20.1 General remarks

It is recommended that the following inspections be carried
out on the boiler at least once a year;
1. Check the seals in the water group, and if necessary,
replace the gasket and restore the seal to perfect working
order;
2. Check the seals in the gas group, and if necessary
replace the gaskets and restore the seal to perfect
working order;
3. Visually check the overall condition of the boiler;
4. Visually check the combustion, and if necessary,
disassemble and clean the burner;
5. Following inspection 3, disassemble and clean the
combustion chamber as necessary;
6. Following inspection 4, disassemble and clean the
injector, if necessary;
7. Clean the primary heat exchanger. (see Section 20.2);
8. Check and adjust the CO
Section 14.3);
9. Check the correct operation of the heating safety devices:
- Overheat thermostat
10. Check the correct operation of the flow switches;

(continued)
Cause
No gas, no water or no electricity
Air in the gas pipe
Room thermostat switched off
Overheat lockout (A01)
No flame after safety time (A03)
No flame detected (E04)
Flame lift (E18)
Air presence in CH system or
insufficient pressure
Gravity effect in the CH system
Diverter valve sticking
If these solutions do not cure the fault, call a qualified professional
emissions as necessary (see

Solution
Check gas, water and electrical
supplies, fuses...
Purge the air from the gas pipe
Turn the room thermostat up
Wait for a few minutes
Press the reset button 28 (Fig. 107) the
red led goes out and the boiler attempts to
re-light.
If the red indicator lights too frequently,
please call your local service centre.
Purge the system of air (Section 14.2,
page 29) and increase the system
pressure (Section 2, page 6)
Close the heating flow isolating valve (41
Fig. 2, page 5). Don't forget to open it
again before starting the heating.
Remove and Clean
11. Check the correct operation of the low pressure switch;
12. Check the diverter valve movement;
13. Check the correct operation of the gas group safety
devices:
- absence of gas or flame safety device (ionisation);
14. Check that the electrical connections are correct (as
described in Section 13, page 26 Fig 29);
15. Check the efficiency of the production of domestic hot
water (test the flow rate and temperature rise);
16. Carry out a general inspection of the boiler;
17. Check the flue and termination point;
18. Remove any oxide from the detection electrode by using
an emery cloth.

20.2 Cleaning the primary exchanger

Cleaning the exhaust side
Remove the air gas assembly (Section 18.2.1). Check that
the exhaust passages are free, if there are deposits present,
clean the exchanger with compressed air or wash with water
or a vinegar based detergent.
