6 MAINTENANCE

6.1

Routine

When using the appliance over time, it is essential to perform regular maintenance to ensure safe operation.
We therefore recommend stipulating a service contract.
 

Caution

 

Maintenance  must  only  be  performed  by  specialist  personnel  in  compliance  with  current
regulations and our own instructions.

 

Before carrying out any maintenance and/or cleaning operation:
 

·

Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply and/or close the gas.

·

Wait for a sufficient time for the appliance to cool down.

·

Do not wash the appliance with direct or high-pressure jets of water, since any infiltration of water into the

electrical components could jeopardise correct operation of the appliance and its safety systems.

 

Warning

 

For maintenance/replacement of components, order and use only original spare parts.

 

Replacing parts must exclusively be performed by authorised and/or qualified personnel. When replacing the
electrical components of the machine and the electrical panels, scrupulously follow the technical
characteristics for the replacement component indicated on the component itself. The appliance does not
require any special maintenance but during the use of the equipment it is advisable to check the following at
least once a year (possibly increasing the frequency depending on the degree of use):
 

·

The status of connections especially on the terminal board and the power supply cable, as well as the

status of the gas connections;

·

The operating condition of the various components (perform a functional test);

·

For appliances fitted with rotary resistances, remove the hub, grease it and replace the three o-ring seals

to avoid possible leaks.

6.2

Replacing the main burner nozzle

·

Remove the front screws fastening the dashboard/panel and pull it outwards

·

Detach the starter cable

·

Unscrew the nut and lower the air adjustment bracket

·

Using a suitable wrench, unscrew the nozzle and replace it with an appropriate new one

·

Refit the air adjustment bracket in its initial position. Pay attention since the height of the bracket depends

on the type of gas used (see technical data table)

 

6.3

Replacing the pilot burner nozzle

The pilot burner flame has a fixed air supply. The only necessary item is replacement of the nozzle
depending on the type of gas used (see technical data table).
 

·

Unscrew the coupling connecting the pilot tube to the pilot itself and slide out the nozzle to be replaced
