remembered that attention must also be
paid to the heating and hot water cir-
cuits with special attention to radiator
valves, thermostats, clocks, leaking hot
water taps etc.

- Where it is necessary to replace a gas-

ket that relies on adhesive for securing -
this adhesive will be supplied with the
gasket as a spare item.

- In all cases prior to servicing, remove

the outer case (sect. 5.4). Operate the
appliance by turning the hot water ser-
vices on to a high water flow, and
observe the main burner.

- Check that the flame covers all the

flame ports and is of a light blue colour.
Yellow flames and excessive lifting of
flames indicate poor combustion.

- IMPORTANT:

After completing any ser-

vicing or replacement of gas carrying
components it is essential that a test for
gas soundness is always carried out
along with functional checks in operation.

TO INSPECT AND CLEAN THE APPLIANCE

Before carrying out cleaning operation,

cover the electrical control panel with a
piece of waterproof material to protect it

from debris.

Inspect the heat exchanger for any block-

age. Deposits of any material should be
brushed always using a soft brush.

NOTE:

Do not use brushes with metallic

bristles.

Examine internal pipe-work connections
and automatic air vent for any water leaks.
Rectify if necessary.

Examine the combustion chamber insulating
material and renew if damaged (sect. 7.9).

Remove and examine the main burner
injector and pilot injector clean or renew, as
necessary (sec. 7.12 & 7.14).
