9 Service and maintenance
9.1 General overview of service and
maintenance
Regular inspection and maintenance of the heating system re-
duces energy consumption and ensures a long life and smooth
operation.
Tests during the annual service:
– General condition of the heating system, visual inspection of
connections and pipes.
– Flue gas temperature and flue gas temperature sensor.
– Functioning of the condensate treatment unit (determination
of pH value).
– Burner operation and burner settings.
Maintenance work to be carried out annually:
– Cleaning the burner components, the combustion chamber
and the heating surfaces.
– Cleaning the boiler panelling and the sound insulation hood.
– Cleaning and regeneration of the Condensate treatment unit.
– Replacement of the wearing parts if required).
9.2 Service and maintenance tasks
9.2.1 Removing panelling (and cleaning it)
For the maintenance activities, sound insulation hood, boiler pan-
elling and heat insulation layers must be removed.
After removing the rear and two side securing screws you can
easily remove the sound insulation hood.
Ɣ
Remove the sound insulation hood (see fig. 9-1).
Ɣ
Lift and remove the boiler cladding (see fig. 9-2).
Have the service and maintenance carried out by
authorised and trained heating engineers once a year
and, if possible,
before the heating period starts
. This
will avoid malfunctions during the heating period.
ROTEX recommends an inspection and maintenance
contract to ensure regular inspection and maintenance.
WARNING!
Live parts can cause an electric shock on contact and
cause fatal burns and injuries.
Ɣ
Before beginning maintenance work, disconnect
the ROTEX GSU from the power supply ROTEX
A1 BO (switch off fuse, main switch) and secure
against unintentional restart.
WARNING!
Danger of burning - hot surfaces.
Ɣ
Let the burner cool down for a reasonably long
time before maintenance and service work.
Ɣ
Wear protective gloves.
