4. Tilt the electronics box forward.
5. Remove the clamp (2) .
6. Remove the pipe (1) from the product.
7. Rinse the filter under a jet of water, holding it against
the direction of flow.
8. If the filter is damaged or it can no longer be cleaned
sufficiently, you must replace the filter.
9. Refit the pipe.
10. Reinsert the clamp.
11. Always use new seals and retighten the cap nuts and

1. Connect the compact thermal module (2) to the heat
exchanger (1) .
2. Tighten the four nuts (7) in a cross-wise pattern until the
burner flange fits closely and uniformly onto the mating
surfaces.
–
Tightening torque: 6 Nm, if a torque spanner is
available
3. Connect the plugs (3) to (6) again.
4. Connect the gas pipe using a new seal. In the process,
secure the gas pipe against twisting.
5. Open the gas stopcock.
6. Make sure that there are no leaks.
7. Check that the sealing ring in the air intake pipe is posi-
tioned correctly in the seal seat.
8. Reconnect the air intake pipe to the intake stub.
9. Secure the air intake pipe with the retaining screw.
10. Check the gas flow pressure.
12.11 Draining the product
1. Close the service valves of the product.
2. Start the check programme P.06 (diverter valve mid-
position).
3. Open the drain valves.
4. Make sure that the cap of the automatic air vent on
the internal pump is open so that the product can be
drained fully.
12.12 Checking the pre-charge pressure for the
internal expansion vessel
1. Close the service valves and drain the product.
2. Measure the pre-charge pressure of the expansion ves-
sel at the vessel valve.
Condition : Pre-charge pressure < 0.075 MPa (0.75 bar)
▶
Ideally, you should top up the expansion vessel with
nitrogen. Otherwise, top it up with air. Ensure that the
drain valve is open when topping up.
3. If water escapes from the valve of the expansion
vessel, you must replace the expansion vessel.
