At regular intervals* carry out the following
operations:
3 - Open the firedoor (7) and, with the aid of the brush (23) ,
clean the flueways (25) .
* The frequency of this regular cleaning procedure will depend on how
much the boiler works and the type of fuel used.
4 - Loosen the wing-nut (26) to detach the cleaning cover from
the smokehood (12) and remove the soot inside it.
5 - Inset the brush (23) in the stoking and ashpit openings of
the front section and clean the interior surfaces of the
sections that make up the combustion chamber.
Using fluid fuels
At regular intervals* carry out the following
operations:
1 - Turn OFF the main switch to isolate the system.
2 - Close the fuel supply valves to the burner.
3 - Open the burner door
(9) by loosening the locking bolt (27)
with a suitable tool, and protect the burner so that it does
not get dirty.
4 - Inset the brush (23) in the stoking and burner openings of
the front section and clean the interior surfaces of the
sections that make up the combustion chamber.
5 - Loosen the wing-nut (26) to detach the cleaning cover from
the smokehood (12) and remove the soot inside it.
* The frequency of this regular cleaning procedure will depend on how
much the boiler is used.
Maintenance
- At the end of each heating season or before a long period of
non-use, the boiler should be thoroughly cleaned without
letting the soot harden.
- Check, at least once a year, the correct functioning of all
control and safety devices.
- Carry out, at least once a year, the maintenance operations
contained in the instructions which come with the burner.
- Clean the chimney at least once a year.
Important recommendations
- In case of long periods of non-use, the installation must not
be emptied.
- Water should be added to the system only when absolutely
necessary.
This operation should be done only when the boiler is cold.
- Frequent addition of water may cause lime deposits on the
boiler, damage it seriously, and reduce efficiency.
- If the installation is located in a frost-risk area, some anti-
freeze solution should be added to the water in proportion to
the minimum outside temperature of the place.
Troubleshooting after long periods of non-use.
The radiator or panel circuit does not warm up even when the
temperature of the water in the boiler is correct. In this case
check that:
- The circulating pump is rotating correctly; otherwise, proceed
as indicated under “Operation-3”.
- The valves on each radiator are open and their spindle
(headwork) is not jammed.
The burner does not start up. In this case check that:
- The control
(3) and ambient thermostats are set to the right
temperature.
- The installation fuses are the correct ones and the main switch
is ON.
- Voltage is reaching the control panel.
- The safety limit thermostat
(4) has been activated. To reset
it, unscrew the protective cap and press the tab inside.
Should no positive result be obtained, after these checks report
it to your Installer.
