MAINTENANCE
7.1
WARNINGS
Correct maintenance prevents problems, assures effi-
ciency and keeps running costs low.
Maintenance operations described herein may exclu-
sively be performed by the TAC or skilled maintenance
technician.
Any operation on internal components may exclusively
be performed by the TAC.
Before performing any operation, switch off the appli-
ance by means of the control device and wait for the end
of the switching off cycle, then disconnect power and
gas supply, by acting on the electrical disconnector and
gas cock.
The efficiency checks and every other "check and mainte-
nance operation" (see Tables 7.1
must be performed with a frequency according to cur-
rent regulations or, if more restrictive, according to the
provisions set forth by the manufacturer, installer or TAC.
Responsibility for efficiency checks, to be carried out for
the aims of restricting energy consumption, lies with the
system manager.
Environmental or operational heavy conditions
In environmental or operational conditions particularly
heavy (for example: heavy-duty use of the appliance,
salty environment, etc.), maintenance and cleaning op-
erations must be more frequent.
