SECTION 4
MAINTENANCE
Servicing Notes
Servicing should be carried out annually by a competent person such as a GAS
SAFE registered engineer. This is a condition of the Verine guarantee
schemes.
The service should include visually checking the chimney and fire opening for
accumulations of debris and a smoke test to check for a positive up-draught in the
chimney. The thermocouple or pilot on the burner unit must also be changed as a
condition of the guarantee. The condition of the fuel-bed should be checked and if
necessary the whole item should be replaced with a genuine replacement
item. The burner assembly is designed to be removed as a complete unit for
ease of access. After any servicing work a gas tightness check must always
be carried out. All sections apply for both coal & pebble model variants.
