49 CLEANING THE CONDENSATE 'S' TRAP

1.

Undo the plastic union nut on
the condensate ‘S’ trap outlet.

2.

Remove the 2 screws.

3.

Pull the trap down and forward

Reassemble the boiler in the following order.

1.

Refit the condensate ‘S’ trap, ensuring that it is full of water.

2

. Refit the sump cover plate.

3.

Refit the electrodes (check dimensions Frames 56 & 57).

4.

Refit the burner.

5.

Refit the fan / venturi assembly.

6.

Reconnect the fan electrical leads.

7.

Refit the boiler sealing panel.

IMPORTANT.

Ensure the boiler sealing panel is correctly fitted and
that a good seal is made.

8.

Refit the boiler front and bottom panels.

9.

Turn on the gas supply at the gas service cock.

10.

Reconnect the electrical supply.

1.

Remove ignition and flame detection electrodes.
Refer to Frames 56 & 57.

2.

Remove the 3 screws retaining the sump cover and
remove.

3.

Using a suitable tool as supplied in the standard
British Gas Flue brush kit, clean between the heat
exchanger fins from the top of the heat exchanger.

4.

Access to the base of the heat exchanger is now
possible. Brush clean any deposits from the base of
the heat exchanger and remove any loose deposits
from the sump.

5.

Inspect the ignition and detection electrodes. Ensure
that they are clean and in good condition - replace if
necessary.

6.

Check the condition of the combustion chamber
insulation. Any cracked or damaged pieces must be
replaced.

Note.

 Take care not to disturb the ionisation probes at the
