CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE
●
Before starting up the boiler ask qualified personnel FINTERM to check:
a)
that the data on the information plate corresponds to that required by the gas, electrical and water
supply networks;
b)
that the pipes which branch off from the boiler are lined with suitable thermally-insulated sheathing;
c)
the proper functioning of the flue pipe;
d)
that the comburent air flow and the fumes evacuation take place properly in accordance with the
regulations in force;
e)
that correct aeration and maintenance are possible in case of installation in the furniture.
●
Ensure that the installer has connected the boiler and cylinder safety discharge to a waste. In the case of
the contrary the intervention of the safety valves could flood the premises and the manufacturer would not
be held responsible for this.
●
Ensure that the piping of the installation is not used as an earth outlet for other installations; beyond not
being ideal for such a use it could in short bring serious damage to the other appliances connected to it.
●
Ask qualified personnel FINTERM to check:
a)
the internal and external tightness of the gas system;
b)
that the gas delivery is that required by the boiler output;
c)
that the type of gas is suitable for the boiler;
d)
that the pressure of gas supply is within the values stated on the boiler plate;
e)
that the gas installation is the correct size and equipped with all the safety and checking devices
prescribed by the current regulations.
●
Ask periodically to check the proper functioning and the good state of the flue exhaust.
●
Ensure that the electrical system has been confirmed by qualified personnel to be adequate for the power
required by the appliance itself.
●
The electricity supply cable must not be replaced by the user, but by qualified personnel only.
●
The electrical safety of the appliance is attained only if the same has been connected to an effective system
earthed in accordance with the current regulations. The verification of this fundamental prerequisite should
be made by qualified persons as the manufacturer will not be responsible for damage caused by the lack
of adequate earthing of the installation.
