The service procedure for the combustion chamber of the Viessmann VITOGAS 100 GS1 series includes the following steps:

1. Inspect Burners
- Ensure gas orifices and slots of burner tubes are visually free of defects or damage.
- Blow out burner tubes with high-pressure air and clean with a soft bristle (non-metallic) brush.

2. Inspect Pilot Burner
- Ensure ionization electrode, pilot burner, and ignition electrode are visually free of defects or damage.
- Check the spark gap.
- Use emery cloth to clean the ionization electrode.
- Replace the pilot burner if necessary.

3. Clean Heat Exchanger (if applicable, with burner tray removed)
- Loosen sheet metal screws from the back and remove the top panel.
- Unhook spring clips and remove the insulation blanket.
- Loosen screws and remove the flue gas collector cover.
- Clean the heat exchanger using the factory-supplied cleaning brush.
- Remove debris from the baseplate.
- Reinstall the flue gas collector cover.
- Place the mineral wool and insulation blankets back over the cover and secure them using spring clips.
- Reinstall the top panel.

4. Reinstall Burner Tray

5. Check Water Pipe Connections
- Inspect heating system and domestic hot water connections for leaks.
- Correct any leaks found on fittings, pumps, and valves.

6. Check Safety Devices
- Ensure the proper operation of low water cut-off (if applicable), pressure relief valve, and pumps.
- If oil-lubricated pumps are used, ensure proper lubrication.
- Check the pressure gauge, air vent, and pressure relief valve for leaks.

Caution: Do not use chemical cleaners under any circumstances.
