Boiler maintenance
Danger!
Before servicing the boiler, make sure both the boiler itself and its components
have cooled down.
Warnings
Never drain the water from the system, even partially, except if you really have to.
Check regularly the correct functioning and the condition of the smoke outlet duct and/or device.
In the case of work or maintenance on structures placed near the smoke ducts and/or smoke outlet devices and
their accessories, switch off the appliance and, when the work is complete, check its efficiency.
Do not clean the boiler and/or its parts with easily flammable products (such as petrol, alcohol, etc.).
Do not leave flammable containers in the room where the boiler is installed.
Do not clean the thermal power plant when the boiler is in operation.
At the end of every heating period, inspect the boiler in order to ensure the system is perfectly efficient.
Accurate maintenance always makes for savings and increased safety.
Important!
Use pigging equipment and aspirators for cleaning; if you use cloths, make sure you
retrieve them all.
10.3.
Recommendations and obligations
Caution!
After every cleaning process, the boiler needs to be checked in terms of the correct
positioning of its components, the seal of the covers and the boiler functioning.
At the end of the heating season, you need to remove any ash in the boiler thoroughly,
since mineral ash acts like a corrosive reagent and reduces the reliability of the boiler. We
recommend you remove all the pellets (or other fuel, where used) from the fuel hopper
since the pellets may absorb humidity from the ambient air and clog the fuel conveyor
auger, cause start-up failures, etc.
The ash removal procedure described above is
COMPUSLORY. Failure to perform it will invalidate the
guarantee
. If the boiler maintenance and ash removal procedures are not performed, the efficiency and
reliability of the boiler performance could be compromised, and lead to operating faults (for instance, clogging up
the ash removal mechanism, obstructing the outlet gas blower, etc.).
