CHAPTER  17:

 

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES 

WARNING!

 

 

The  Esteem  boiler  should be inspected and serviced annually, 
preferably at the start of the heating season, by a qualified service 
technician.  In addition, the  maintenance an

d

  care  of the unit as 

out-lined in chapter 16, and further explained in this chapter, should 
be performed to assure maximum efficiency  and reliability of the 
unit.  Failure to service and maintain the Esteem  boiler  and the 
system components could result  in equipment failure, causing 
possible  severe personal injury, death or substantial property 
damage. 

NOTE 

The following information provides detailed instruction for 
completing the maintenance items outlined  in the maintenance 
schedule  in Chapter 12.  In addition to this maintenance, the 
Esteem  boiler  should be serviced at the beginning of the heating 
season by a qualified service technician. 

17.1  REPORTED PROBLEMS 

Any problems reported by the owner should be  checked, verified and corrected before 
proceeding with any maintenance procedures. 

17.2  SURROUNDING AREA INSPECTION 

Verify that the area surrounding the Esteem boiler is free of combustible / flammable materials or 
flammable vapors or liquids. Remove immediately if found. 

Verify that combustion air inlet area is free of  any contaminates.  Refer to the materials listed 
section 3.2 of Chapter 3 of this manual. If any of these products are in the area from which the 
unit takes  its combustion air, they must be removed  immediately or the combustion air intake 
must be relocated to another area. 

17.3  BURNER AREA INSPECTION 

Remove the boiler front jacket panel and Venturi inlet elbow. Vacuum any dirt or debris from the 
burner/blower components. Re-install Venturi inlet elbow and front jacket panel when completed. 

 

WARNING!

 

 

Do not use solvents to clean any of the  burner components.  The 
components  could be damaged, resulting in unreliable or unsafe 
operation.
