MAINTENANCE / SERVICE

INTRODUCTION

Servicing must be carried out by a properly qualified
person.
Whilst giving these instructions for the care of the ECOflo,
it is recommended that checks are carried out by the
installer or local gas service engineer at least annually.
Ensure good ventilation by keeping the heater free of
extraneous materials and clear of dust and lint. Keep
pipework, flue and tops of heaters clear of any
combustible materials. A water softener or scale inhibitor
should be employed in hard water areas. The heater
should be inspected every few months via the hand hole
cleanout and scale or silt deposits removed. Failure to do
so will shorten heater life and may invalidate the warranty.

PRE-SERVICE OPERATIONS

Before servicing, carry out the following operations.
1) Turn off the gas service cock.
2) Turn off the cold water supply to the heater.
3) Turn on the hot water draw-off taps served by the
water heater, or, for multiple installations, turn off the
hot water outlet connection valve and secondary
return valve.
4) Drain down using the drain valve on the heater.
