Always empty the system before
disassembly of any hydraulic system part.

Only use original spare parts.

Order the spare parts according to the spare parts
catalogue for the heater.
Replace the joints and remo
ved O-rings with new ones.
Only the following lubricants must be used:
– Hydraulic part: Unisilikon L 641 (8 709 918 413)
– Threaded joints: HFt 1 v 5 (8 709 918 010).

7.1 Periodic maintenance work

Functional check
Check the operation of all safety, adjustment and
monitoring elements.

Heat exchanger
Check the heat exchanger is clean.
In case of dirt:
– Remove the heat exchanger and take out the limiter.
– Clean the chamber with a powerful jet of water.
If dirt persists: Soak the plat
es in hot water with detergent
and clean thoroughly.
If necessary: De-lime the interior of the heat exchanger and
the connection pipes.
Install the heat exchan ger using new joints.

7.3 Flue gas safety device

DANGER:
The flue gas safety device must not under any
circumstances be switched off, simulated or
replaced by any other component.

Operation and safety precautions

The flue gas safety device checks the effectiveness of flue gas
extraction by the flue. If it is inadequate, the appliance switches
off automatically so that the combustion fumes do not escape
into the room in which the appl iance has been installed. The
flue gas safety device resets after a cooling-down period.
If the appliance shuts down while in operation:
Ventilate the room.
Wait about 10 minutes then restart the appliance.
If the problem recu
rs, call an engineer.

DANGER:
The user must never make any modifications
to the flue gas safety device.

Maintenance
If faults occur on the flue gas
safety device, proceed as follows:
Undo flue gas safetydevice fixing screw.
Loosen temperature limiters connectors.
Undo magnetic unit connector.
Remove thermocouple.
Replace damaged componentth winew one and refit using
the reverse of the procedure set out in the table above.

Function check
Flue gas safety devi
ce function check:
Disconnect flue pipe;
Replace with pipe (about 50 cm long) with sealed end;
Fit pipe vertically;
Start up appliance at rate
d output and set temperature
control to maximum temperature;
Under those conditions, the appliance should shut down
after two minutes. Removemporary
te pipe and reconnect
flue pipe.
