Inspection and maintenance
8.1
General overview of inspection and maintenance
Regular inspection and maintenance of the heating system reduces energy consumption and ensures a long life and smooth
operation.
Tests during the annual service:
– General condition of the heating system, visual inspection of connections and pipes.
– Flue gas temperature and flue gas temperature sensor.
– Functioning of the condensate treatment unit (determination of pH value).
– Burner operation and burner settings.
Maintenance work to be carried out annually:
– Cleaning the burner components, the combustion chamber and the heating surfaces.
– Cleaning the boiler panelling and the sound insulation hood.
– Cleaning and regeneration of the Condensate treatment unit.
– Replacement of the consumables (if required).
8.2
Service and maintenance tasks
8.2.1 Removing panelling (and cleaning it)
For the maintenance activities, sound insulation hood, boiler panelling and heat insulation layers must be removed.
Have the service and maintenance carried out by authorised and trained heating engineers once a year and, if
possible,
before the heating period starts
. This will avoid malfunctions during the heating period.
ROTEX recommends a service and maintenance contract to ensure regular service and maintenance.
WARNING!
Live parts can cause an electric shock on contact and cause life-threatening burns and injuries.
• Before beginning maintenance work, disconnect the oil condensing boiler from the power supply
(switch of fuse, main switch) and secure against unintentional restart.
WARNING!
Danger of burning on hot surfaces.
• Let the burner cool down for a reasonably long time before maintenance and service work.
• Wear protective gloves.
