WARNING! 
Danger of injury due to incorrectly executed 
maintenance work! 

Incorrectly done maintenance work can result in 
serious personal injury or material damage. 

–  Before starting work, ensure that there is 

sufficient freedom of movement for the 
installation work. 

–  Ensure that the installation site is clean and 

tidy. Loose components and tools lying around 
or piled on top of each other are a possible 
cause of accidents. 

–  When components are removed, ensure correct 

reassembly. Remount all fastening components 
and adhere to specified screw tightening torque 
levels. 

 

    

 

8.2 

Maintenance, general 

The gas fired igniter should be function tested at regular intervals 
(e.g. every 3 months). 

If the gas fired igniter is operated with air containing dust, checks 
must be performed at shorter intervals, as electrically conductive 
dirt deposits or moisture on the ceramic insulators of the igniter can 
result in malfunctions. 

The inner resistance of the ionization path is M

. These high 

resistance levels call for the ceramic insulators to be in perfect 
working order. 

 

Only a few parts are subject to wear in normal operation (see 
chapter “Spare parts list”. These parts must be exchanged if 
defects and malfunctions occur with increased frequency.
