9) Check condition of boiler door ceramic seal.
Inspect the lining material on the door and fille
material around burner tube. Minor damage to
insulating material can be carefully rectified using
a mouldable refractory (e.g. Pyruma) on
refractory lined doors. Where a door is lined
with ceramic fibre is unlikely to suffer damage
in normal use but in the unlikely event please
consult Hoval. Any serious damage must be
reported to the Service Engineer for repair. Filler
material can be repaired similarly. The door
sealing strip must be in good condition and must
be replaced when an effective seal cannot be
obtained under normal pressure. Replace
sealing strip annually. Refer to Burner
Maintenance Instructions Page 22 whilst the door
is open.
10) Close the boiler door, and evenly tighten the
nuts using a tommy bar/spanner.
Maintenance - Summer shut down
11) If disconnected, plug in the boiler/burner electrical
connection.
12) Check boiler door is effectively closed (ineffective
closure will be detectable by sight or smell).
13) It is recommended that, when the boiler has
become thoroughly hot, a combustion efficiency
check is made by the Service Engineer.
14) If the boiler is not immediately to be used, switch
OFF electrical supply to burner and turn OFF fuel
supply. Where using heavy oil do not switch off
fuel heaters and tracers. Switch off electrical supply
to gas booster.
Summer Shut Down
If the boiler is to be out of operation for a long period, e.g. during the Summer, the boiler
interior should be thoroughly cleaned.
Atmospheric condensation, activating acidic deposits in the boiler, is responsible for
considerable corrosion and metal wastage. Every effort should be made to reduce this by
the most thorough cleaning and by keeping the boiler dry.
A tray of absorbing material placed in the combustion chamber is helpful in this respect.
Close the boiler door.
