The yearly maintenance of the magnetic filter/dirt separator consists
of:
▪ Checking if both parts of the magnetic filter/dirt separator are
still screwed tight (a).
▪ Emptying the dirt separator as follows:
1
Take off the magnetic sleeve (b).
2
Unscrew the drain cap (d).
3
Connect a drain hose to the bottom of the water filter so that the
water and dirt can be collected in a suitable container (bottle,
sink...).
4
Open the drain valve for a couple of seconds (c).
Result:
Water and dirt will come out.
5
Close the drain valve.
6
Screw the drain cap back on.
7
Reattach the magnetic sleeve.
8
Check the pressure of the water circuit. If required, add water.
NOTICE
▪ When checking the magnetic filter/dirt separator for
tightness, hold it firmly, so as NOT to apply stress to
the water piping.
▪ Do NOT isolate the magnetic filter/dirt separator by
closing the shut‑off valves. To properly empty the dirt
separator, sufficient pressure is required.
▪ To prevent dirt from remaining in the dirt separator,
ALWAYS take off the magnetic sleeve.
▪ ALWAYS first unscrew the drain cap, and connect a
drain hose to the bottom of the water filter, then open
the drain valve.
INFORMATION
For yearly maintenance, you do not have to remove the
water filter from the unit to clean it. But in case of trouble
with the water filter, you might have to remove it so that
you can thoroughly clean it. Then you need to do as
follows:
▪
"10.6.1 To remove the water filter"
▪
"10.6.2 To clean the water filter in case of
trouble"
▪
"10.6.3 To install the water filter"
Water pressure relief valve
Open the valve and check if it operates correctly.
The water may be
very hot!
Checkpoints are:
▪ The water flow coming from the relief valve is high enough, no
blockage of the valve or in between piping is suspected.
