16 Maintaining the Boiler

4.5    Cleaning the Air Intake Filter

If the air intake filter becomes clogged by dust 

or lint, the boiler will cease to operate and “Error 

Code 110” will appear on the front panel display. 

To properly maintain the boiler, clean the air intake 

filter every 3-4 months.

To clean the air intake filter:

1.  Press the Power button ( ) on the front panel 

to turn off the boiler.

2.  Disconnect the power supply to the boiler.

3.  Unfasten the 4 latches (2 at the top and 2 at the 

bottom) to remove the front cover and gain 

access to the internal components.

4.4    Cleaning the Heating Return 

Water Filter (Space Heating side)

If the heating performance is decreased, you can 

increase the heating performance by filtering 

impurities from the system.

To clean the filter:

1.  Drain the space heating side of the boiler. Refer 

to “4.2 Draining the Boiler on page 14.

2.  While the filter is removed, rinse it with clean 

running water (cold) and, if necessary, scrub it 

clean with a brush.

3.  Reinsert and tighten the filter.

4.  Fill the boiler and check for proper operation.
