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.
