9 MAINTENANCE & CARE
Gabarron MATTIRA electric combi boilers will require an annual maintenance check to ensure preservation of the
manufacturer's warranty and a prolonged and trouble-free life. A full check list and service log is located at the back of this
manual which, should be adhered to. The following points below should also be constantly observed:
-Check and maintain the heating system pressure between 1 & 1.5 bar when cold. Frequent re-filling of the system could
cause scaling and corrosion and should be avoided. Regular pressure loss could indicate a leak and should be investigated
promptly.
CAUTION – Under no circumstances should the boiler be switched on when the system is dry.
CAUTION - Never start the boiler when the DHW tank is empty; to fill it for the first time open a hot water tap
and wait until water comes out of it.
- Keep the ventilation openings on the boiler clear to ensure correct operation and protect from overheating. Do not place
or store objects on the boiler.
- Protect against freezing by ensuring power is maintained to the boiler at all times, unless the water supply is interrupted or
the heating system is empty. In dwellings frequently un-occupied or at risk of freezing, an appropriate anti-freeze can be
added to the heating system at a concentration of not more than 30% by volume. Otherwise it is recommended to isolate
the power and completely drain the heating and hot water systems.
- The outer case can be cleaned with a damp cloth having first isolated the boiler from the mains. Do not use solvents or
abrasive cleaners.
