CLEANING AND ORDINARY MAINTENACE OF
THE BACK-UP GAS/OIL BOILER
At the beginning of every heating season
Call a service engineer to check and clean the boiler.
Burner control
The burner must be checked solely by persons authorized by
the burner manufacturer .
Every month
Check that the by-pass is working correctly.
The by-pass is a direct passage between the fire box and the
chimney. It is normally closed by a mobile shutter. The by-pass
is automatically opened or closed via a pushing rod when the
loading door is opened. In this way the smoke accumulated in
the firebox is aspirated and sent to the chimney directly. The
bypass, in conclusion, allows the smoke to be discharged at
the chimney without letting it escape from the upper loading
door when loading the wood or during lighting.
EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE OF THE
WOOD FIRED BOILER
At the end of each heating season perform a general cleaning
of the boiler, taking care to remove all the ashes from the fire
box. During the summer season the boiler doors must be clo-
sed.
Cleaning the fan
WARNING:
This operation must be carried out only by
a competent qualified technician, as bad
maintenance will compromise good boiler
operation.
