2. The control panel moves downward and when pulled forward,
rotates on two lateral hinges; the panel stays in a semi­horizontal position, which allows access to the inner parts of the boiler (FIG. 1.2);
3. In order to increase the manoeuvring space, it is possible to raise the control panel and rotate it to a fully horizontal position (FIG. 1.3);
4. Remove the screws “B” from the front panel bottom lip (FIG. 1.4);
5. Lift the front panel up and forward from the raised screws at the the top of the casing (FIG. 1.5).

1. SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
The life of individual components varies 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.
1.2.1 Removing the front panel
1. Loosen the fastening screws “A”of the control panel located on
the lower part of the panel itself. (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 electrical system checks must be carried out to ensure electrical safety (i.e.polarity, earth continuity, resistance to earth and shor t circuit).
1.2.2 Removing the sealed chamber front cover
1. Remove the screws “C” (FIG. 1.6);
2. Lift the sealed chamber front cover from the locating pins
(FIG. 1.7).

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 -Ensure that the left hand and right hand electrodes are
located the correct way round (facing each other), to give the correct spark gap;
c -Check that the cables have been connected correctly; d -Check that the rubber gasket covers the cable/ electrode
connection point completely.

OF THE GAS VALVE
1.4.1 Setting the gas pressures

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, loosen the screw “A”. Fit the pipe of the pressure gauge to the inlet 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 bur ner, loosen the screw “C”. Fit the pipe of the pressure gauge to the pressure outlet test point of the gas valve “D”. Disconnect the compensation pipe either from the gas valve or from the sealed chamber.
4. Push the On/Off button to “ON”position -green light- and push the Heating button to “ON” position -green light-
Turn on the boiler by running a hot water tap. Adjust the 10mm nut “E” on the modureg to set the maximum gas pressure, turn the nut clockwise to increase and anti clockwise to decrease the pressure until the required pressure is achieved (see T
ABLE A page 9)
5. To set the minimum power , 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
9).
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, push the On/Off button to the
“ON” position -green light- and push the Heating button and set the time clock and any external controls to the “ON” position -green light.Turn the knob of the heating thermostat clockwise to maximum.
8. Remove the 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 charts shown in page 9.
9. Turn off the boiler by placing the main switch to the "OFF" position.
Setting pressure for soft ignition.
Disconnect the detection electrode connection close to the P.C.B. (F
IG.
1.14). Start the boiler and during the ignition sequence adjust the left hand 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 re-connect the connection to the P.C.B.
