should be centered and should touch the back vertical wall of the boiler’
combustion chamber).
•
The operating thermostat of the boiler should be set to 80
o
C or any other
temperature level of the circulating water in the hot water boiler.

o
C;
•
Turn the set-point of the flue gases thermostat to minimal position;
•
Switch off the flue gas fan (turn into off position the START switch). The
