Checking the water pressure
In order for the boiler to operate correctly, the pressure of the water in the
heating circuit must be between 1.0 and 1.5 bar. Restore the water
pressure if necessary.
9.2.3
Checking the expansion vessel
Check the expansion vessel and recharge or replace it if necessary.
Check its pre-charge every year and restore the pressure to 1 bar if
necessary.
9.2.4
Checking the automatic air vent
Check that the boiler pump venting valve is working. In the event of a leak,
replace the valve.

Checking the burner and cleaning the heat exchanger
1. Isolate the boiler from the gas & electrical supplies.
2. Remove the front panel.
3. Remove the silencer.
4. Disconnect the spark electrode lead and earth wire from the
detection / spark electrode.
5. Remove the clip securing the gas feed pipe to the fan. Disconnect the
pipe.
6. Completely remove the combustion chamber / burner door assembly
by unscrewing the four M6 nuts and drawing it forwards to disengage
it from the heat exchanger..
7. Check that the detection/spark electrode is not worn. Replace the
electrode if necessary.
8. Check the condition of the burner, the gasket and the insulation board.
9. Any loose deposits in the heat exchanger should be removed using a
vacuum cleaner.
10. A brush with plastic bristles can be used to dislodge any stubborn
deposits, which should then also be removed by vacuum.
11. Do not use any chemicals to clean the heat exchanger.
12. The burner does not require any maintenance as it is self-cleaning.
Check that there are no cracks and/or other damage on the surface of
the burner. If the burner is damaged, replace it.
