The incorrect adjustment of the burner may destroy the combustion chamber and heat exchan-
ger; therefore it is important that the output is correctly set. In order to avoid condensation, the
net temperature of the flue gases (= the measured temperature of the flue gases in °C minus
the inlet temperature of the burner in °C must drop below a value of 160°C. The burner readjust-
ment must be carried out by a specialist (after-sales service for burner). The flames must on no
account touch the walls of the combustion chamber.
