9. Re-assemble turbulators, flue reduction collar and flue,
checking that the gasket on the flue reduction collar is in
good condition. Replace gasket if necessary.
SERVICING THE SAFETY DEVICES
- Check that all thermostats and safety dev ices are working
properly.
- Test the safety valves on the central heating and hot water

- Check the alignment of the nozzle: check, clean or change
the nozzle and its filter, check that the electrodes and flame
holder are clean and correctly adjusted.
- Reassemble and check that the safet y components are
working properly.
- Set the combustion parameters.
- Check the combustion (CO2, CO and burner pressure)
Gas burner
- Check that the insulation and gasket on the burner chamber
plate are in good condition - replace if necessary.
- Check and clean the burner and electrodes. Replace

gauge indicates zero bar.
3. Close stop cock (1) and turn of f tap (8).
4. Open valve (9) then valve (10) (first 9 then 10).
