i. Strip down the throttle assembly, descale

and regrease using a silicone grease

be difficult due to scaling etc, if 
necessary, remove the grub screw from 
the rear of the throttle body and screw in 
one of the long thermostat screws. This 
will force the internal parts out. KEEP 
AWAY FROM FACE AND EYES.

thermostat as follows:-
Re-fit the grub screw.
Turn temperature selector to '5'.
Open a hot water outlet.
Adjust the grub screw until water 
temperature is between 55

°

WARNING: Keep the throttle body pointing away from your face
and body when you turn the screw. The spring adjuster, spring
and gland housing will eject from the body with a lot of force.
