10. Maintenance
According to EU Directive 2002/91/EC (Energy Performance of Buildings), Article 8,
boilers with a rated output from 20 to 100 kW should be regularly inspected.
In heating and air conditioning systems, a regular inspection and maintenance as
required by qualified personnel contribute to correct operation according to the
product specification, and therefore to ensuring high efficiency and low environ-
mental pollution in the long term.
Risk of electric shock!Disconnect the boiler from the mains!
Before removing parts of the cover, the boiler has to be de-energised.
Work under voltage (removed cover) must only be carried out by an electrician!
Caution: Only the heating contractor should clean the burner.
Cleaning of heating surfaces and burner should be carried out by approved heat-
ing specialist. Before beginning the work, the gas shut-off device and the shut off
valves of the hot water should be closed.
10.1 Inspection and need
dependent service
Note:
It is recommended to carry out maintenance of the Paramount annually.
Should during inspection the need for maintenance work be found, these should
be carried out according to need.
Maintenance work includes among others:
- Clean Paramount outside.
- The burner has to be checked for contamination and, possibly, to be cleaned and
serviced.
- Clean burner areas and heating surfaces
- Replace wear parts (see Spare parts list )
¡Atención! Only original spare parts must be used.
- Check connection and seal locations of water filled parts.
- Check safety valves for correct function.
- Check operating pressure and, possibly, fill in water.
- End control and documentation of performed service work
Tip: Conclude a maintenance contract!
In order to guarantee an optimum operation, recommend to have a service con-
tract.
10.2 Replace quick-de-aerator
A defective quick-de-aerator must only be replaced with an original spare part;
this guarantees an optimum de-aering!
Caution! Drain off boiler water!
The boiler water has to be drained before disassembly of the quick-de-aerator, as
otherwise water will leak out!
10.3 Siphon for condensate
The condensate siphon should be cleaned every one or two years. To do this loosen
the upper screw connection on the siphon and pull the siphon away downwards.
Remove the siphon completely from the gas-condensing boiler with hose from the
boiler, dismantle and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Re-assemble the siphon
in reverse order.
