Boiler inspection and maintenance
15.1 Why is regular maintenance important?
Heating systems require regular maintenance for the following reasons:
• to maintain high efficiency operation and to operate the heating
system economically (low fuel consumption),
• to sustain safe operation,
• to maintain combustion at an environmentally responsible level.
• to ensure trouble-free operation and long life.
All maintenance work must be carried out by a qualified boiler
technician. When replacing components use only parts approved by
Buderus. Maintenance is required once a year. Record the results of the
inspection in the protocol on page 25.

inlets and Ventilation openings

openings. All faults must be repaired immediately. Make sure that the
combustion air feed and the inlets and outlets are not blocked at any
point.
15.3 Inspection of the boiler and burner
