1. SERVICING
INSTRUCTIONS
The life of individual components vary and they will need servicing or
replacing as and when faults develop.
The fault finding sequence chart in chapter 2 will help to locate which
component is the cause of any malfunction, and instructions for removal,
inspection and replacement of the individual parts are given in the following
pages.
1.1 Replacement
of Parts
1.2 To Gain General
Access
All testing and maintenance operations on the boiler require the control panel
to be lowered.This will also require the removal of the casing.
To dismantle the front part of the casing, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the two screws “A”located on the bottom par t of the boiler until
the first thread on the screws appears
(Fig. 1.1)
;
2. Lift the front panel up until it stops with a click and remove the front
panel from the rest of the casing
(Fig. 1.2)
;
4. Unhook the two cords from the locating slots
(Fig. 1.3)
.

Fig. 1.1
To ensure efficient safe operation, it is recommended that the boiler is
serviced annually by a competent person.
Before starting any servicing work, ensure both the gas and electrical
supplies to the boiler are isolated and the boiler is cool.
Before and after servicing, a combustion analysis should be made via the flue
sampling point (please refer to the Installation Manual for further details).
After servicing, preliminary electr ical system checks must be carried out to
ensure electrical safety (i.e. polar ity, earth continuity, resistance to earth and
short circuit).

Removing the electrodes 1.
Remove rubber gasket “G”
(see fig. 1.11)
;
2.
Disconnect ignition leads by pulling downward
(see fig. 1.12)
;
3.
To remove the flame sensor disconnect the cable at its only connection
point close to the P.C.B.
(see fig. 1.13)
;
5.
Remove screw “H” using a Philips No. 2 star tip screwdriver
(see fig. 1.14)
;
6.
Slide the electrode gently downward
(see fig. 1.15).
To replace, repeat the steps in reverse order , paying particular attention to the
following:
a
-Centre the electrode in the positioning hole carefully, otherwise the
electrode may break;
b
-Check that the cables have been connected correctly;
c
-Check that the rubber gasket covers the cable/electrode connection
point completely.

Setting the minimum and the maximum power of the boiler
1. Check that the supply pressure to the gas valve is a minimum of 20 mbar
for natural gas.
2. To do this, remove the screw “A”.
Fit the pipe of the pressure gauge to the pressure connection of the gas
valve “B”.
When you have completed this operation, replace the screw “A” securely
into its housing to seal off the gas.
3. To check the pressure supplied by the gas valve to the burner, remove the
screw “C”. Fit the pipe of the pressure gauge to the pressure outlet of the
gas valve “D”.
Disconnect the compensation pipe either from the gas valve or from the
sealed chamber.
4. Set the On/Off button to position < I > and the "summer/winter" switch to
the winter position.
To set the maximum power, turn on the hot water tap and allow the hot
water tap to run at a rate of about 8 litres/minute so that the main burner
lights.
Adjust nut “E” on the modureg to set the gas pressure (displayed on the
pressure gauge) corresponding to the maximum power (see table “A”page 11).
5. T o set the minim um pow er, disconnect a supply terminal from the modureg
and adjust screw “F”.
Turn the screw clockwise to increase the pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease the pressure (displayed on the
pressure gauge) corresponding to the minimum power (see table “A” page
11).
6. When you have completed the above operations, turn off the
hot water tap, re-connect the supply terminal to the modureg
on the gas valve and replace the cap on the screw of the
modureg.
Setting the maximum heating circuit power
7. To set the maximum heating circuit power, place the
On/Off button to position < I > and the "summer/winter" switch to winter
position.
Tur n the knob of the heating ther mostat clockwise to maximum;
8. Remove the left hand inspection panel of the P.C.B. and fit a small
cross-head screwdriver in to the right hand potentiometer.Tur n clockwise
to increase the pressure or counter-clockwise to reduce the pressure.
Adjust the setting to the required heating pressure value (displayed on the
pressure gauge), as indicated in the diagrams shown in page 11.
9. Turn off the boiler by placing the main switch to the "Off" position.
Setting pressure for soft ignition.
Disconnect the detection electrode connection from the P.C.B. (see fig.
1.13).
Start the boiler and during the ignition sequence adjust the centre
potentiometer until the gas pressure reads the required gas pressure as
per the table below.
Once the gas pressure is set turn off the boiler and reconnect the
connection to the P.C.B.
NB.:It may be necessary to reset the flame failure reset a number of times
during this operation.

10. Remove the pipe from the pressure gauge and connect screw “C” to the
pressure outlet in order to seal off the gas.
11.Carefully check the pressure outlets for gas leaks (valve inlet
and outlet).
IMPORTANT!
Whenever you disassemble and reassemble the gas connections, always
check for leaks using a soap and water solution.
Setting the anti-cycling device
This appliance is equipped with a potentiometer which delays the ignition of
the heating control and is situated on the P.C.B.(see the electrical diagrams).
By adjusting the potentiometer, it is possible to change the time interval
between the burner shutting down and its next ignition.
It is preset at 1 minute and can be adjusted from 0 to 2 minutes.
Use this control in particular situations where continuous shutting down and
ignition of the main burner occurs.

Important!
Before any component is removed, the boiler
must be drained of all water.

exchanger
1.
Remove the screw “U”
(see fig. 1.35)
;
2.
Push the exchanger towards the rear of the
boiler, lift upwards and remove out of the
front of the boiler;
3.
Before replacing the exchanger ensure that
the O-rings are in good condition and
replace if necessary.
