Inspections and maintenance
Inspections and maintenance performed
professionally and according to a regular
schedule as well as the use of original spare
parts are of the utmost importance for fau-
lt-free operation of the boiler and to guarantee
its long life.
Maintenance of the appliance is mandatory
in compliance with Laws in force.
Failure to perform Inspections and Mainte-
nance can entail material and personal
damage.
We therefore recommend stipulating an inspection or maintenance
contract.
Inspections help to determine the actual status of the appliance
and to compare it with the nominal status. This is done through
measuring, controls and observation.
Maintenance is required to eliminate any differences between
the actual status and the nominal status. This is normally done
by cleaning, setting and replacing individual components subject
to wear.
Maintenance intervals and their extent are determined by a
specialist based on the status of the appliance ascertained
through inspection.
Inspection and maintenance jobs must be performed in the order
shown on page 47.
Inspection and maintenance instructions
To assure long-term functioning of your appliance
and to avoid altering its approved status, only
original Unical spare parts must be used.
Before proceeding with maintenance, always perform the
following operations:
• Disconnect the electric mains switch.
• Isolate the appliance from the electric mains by means of
an isolated device with a contact opening of at least 3 mm
(e.g. safety devices or power switches) and make sure that
it cannot be re-connected accidentally.
• Close any shut-off valves on the heating flow and return
pipes, as well as the cold water inlet valve.
After having completed all maintenance work, always perform
the following operations:
• Open the heating flow and return pipes, as well as the cold
water inlet valve.
• If necessary, restore the heating system pressure.
• Reconnect the appliance to the electric mains and engage
the switch.
• Vent the heating system and restore pressure if necessary.
