Ensure the flue gas exhaust duct is not obstructed, and
that the condensate drain is clean.
After completing the above checks:
1. Open the gas cock and ensure there are no leaks; should
gas smell be noticed, close the gas cock again, do not
switch any electrical devices on and request intervention
by Skilled Personnel.
2. Power on with the main power supply switch (GS, Figure
p. 35).
