Cleaning the boiler and flue
For proper cleaning of the boiler (see fig. 12):
•
Turn off the gas ahead of the unit and disconnect the power supply
•
Remove the front panel of the boiler (fig. 5).
•
Lift the casing cover by pressing upwards.
•
Remove the insulation 5 covering the anti-backflow device.
•
Remove the fume chamber closing plate and insulation.
•
Remove the burner assembly (see previous par.)
•
Clean from the top downwards, using a flue brush. The same operation can be car-
ried out from the bottom upwards.
•
Clean the fume evacuation ducts between the cast iron elements of the boiler shell
with an aspirator.
•
Carefully refit all the previously removed parts and check the tightness of the gas
circuit and the combustion ducts.
•
During cleaning be careful not to damage the bulb of the fume thermostat fitted on
the back of the fume chamber.
