2.8.2Cleaning

1.Close the gas supply and demount the burner after it has cooled down,

2.Disconnect the burner, pilot pipe and thermo couple from the gas control block (see Figure 11),

3.Remove the complete burner assembly,

4.Clean the burner with a soft brush.

5.Check the pilot burner and clean it if so required,

6.Check the combustion chamber, flue tube and flue baffle and clean these if required,

7.Re-mount in reverse order. Tighten the thermo couple connection on the gas control block hand tight and tighten it further with a wrench to a maximum of 1/4 turn as it only needs to make contact.

After cleaning of the pilot- and main burner the operation of these should be checked. If necessary the burner pressure of the main burner should be reset.

2.8.3Inspection of the internal waterside surfaces

Formation of lime scale depends on the quality and quantity of the water used. In addition higher water temperatures lead to more deposit in the appliance. A temperature setting of 60°C is recommended in order to keep the calcification at a low level. Decalcification should be attempted with the proper means. For extensive information a decalcification instruction is available.

2.8.4 Spare parts

To be able to order spare parts it is important to note the type of appliance as well as the serial number of the appliance. Based on this information the data concerning the spare parts can be determined.
