(times/year)
1. On the pressure gauge, check
the operating pressure of the
primary circuit is between 1.0
and 1.5 bar
If pressure is too low, top up the circuit and bleed the
air.
3 or 4
2. Check the absence of water on
the floor
If there is water on the floor:
î
Look for leaks in the circuit and repair them, or
î
Correct condition if water seems to be discharged
regularly by the safety valve(s).
3 or 4
î
Inspection and mainte-
nance tasks should be car-
ried out every 12 months.
î
AIC recommends that the maintenance
of the appliance and its components is
carried out by a qualifi ed professional.
î
Defective parts and components may
only be replaced by genuine factory
parts or parts approved by the manu-
facturer.
î
Replace any gaskets or seals present
on the removed components before
reinstallation, unless otherwise speci-
fi ed in the procedures.
î
Operate manually the safety valves at
least once a year.
î
If the primary circuit needs to be
topped up, allow the appliance to cool
down and only add small quantities of
water at a time. Adding a large quanti-
ty of cold water in a hot appliance can
damage the appliance permanently.
î
If the primary circuit needs to be topped
up regularly, check that there is no leak.
î
Water fl owing out of the drain valve
can be extremely hot. Use extreme
caution when draining a hot appliance.
î
Once the inspection and maintenance
tasks are complete, ensure that all re-
moved components are reinstalled
and all connections are tight and se-
cured.
Before performing any mainte-
nance operation, shut down the
appliance using the appliance on/
off switch and isolate the electri-
cal supply of the appliance
through the external power-cut-
ting device (fuse, circuit-breaker,
etc.), unless power is required for
the procedure (it will then be indi-
cated in the procedure).
