MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Inspection and maintenance, carried out to the highest standard at regular
intervals and using only genuine parts, are of primary importance for fault-free
operation and long life cycle of the boiler.
Boiler maintenance is compulsory pursuant to the applicable Laws in force and it
must be performed with the frequency set out in Italian Presidential Decree 412 of
26
th
August 1993 and subsequent amendments regarding the type of fuel used and
the boiler output.
Failure to perform Inspections and Maintenance may cause material damage and
personal injury.
For this reason, you are advised to take out an inspection and maintenance contract.
Inspection is necessary to determine the current condition of an appliance and to compare it with the nominal
condition. This is carried out through measurements, checks and observations.
Maintenance is necessary to eliminate any inconsistencies between the actual condition of the appliance and the
nominal condition. This is carried out through standard cleaning as well as configuring and (if necessary)
replacing individual components subject to wear.
These maintenance intervals and their importance are determined by the specialist, based on the condition of the
appliance ascertained during inspection.

Instructions for inspection and maintenance
To ensure the long-term operation of your appliance and avoid deteriorating its performance,
only original RED spare parts must be used.
Before carrying out maintenance operations, always perform the following operations:
Switch the boiler off
Disconnect the main switch.
•
After the boiler has been switched off, wait for it to cool down properly.
You need to wait for the temperature of the water circulating in the boiler drops and for the surfaces of
the heat exchanger to have cooled down to safe levels. At this stage, the ash removal procedure can
begin.
Once all the maintenance work has been completed, always perform the following operations:
•
Reconnect the appliance to the electricity mains and switch on the main switch.
•
Check that the appliance is perfectly sealed both on the smoke and water fronts.
