USE AND MAINTENANCE

3. 1 COMMISSIONING
THE BOILER
When commissioning the boiler it is
recommended:
– To make sure that no flammable
liquids or materials are near the
boiler.
– To make sure that the electrical con-
nections t o t he mains and t he
earthing are correct.
– To make sure that flue and chimney
are free from obstructions.
– To make sure that the flow and
return valves are fully open.
– To make sure that the system has
been filled with water and adequa-
tely vented.
3.2

LIGHTING THE BOILER

To light the boiler proceed as follows
(fig. 9):
– check that the "Testing Certificate"
has been removed from inside the
combustion chamber;
– switch on the main switch (1); the
burner wil star t immediately or
after a few minutes if there is a pre-
heater
– turn the boiler stat knob (3) to the
desidered setting.
For best results, set the boiler stat
knob to a temperature no lower
than 60°C to prevent the formation
of condensate.
3.3

CLEANING THE BOILER

The boiler body and flue should be
cleaned at the end of each season.
To clean the boiler, simply remove the
burner-holding plate and the cleaning
plate with their insulation and protec-
tion panels; this operation gives easy
access to the three front pockets and
the combustion chamber. Once main-
tenance has been completed, reposi-
tion the baffles. Use the pig (fig. 10) to
clean the smoke pipes.
NOTE: Preventive maintenance must
be carried out by authorized techni-
cal staff.
