TECHNICAL FEATURES
AND DIMENSIONS
2.1 - TECHNICAL FEATURES
One of the significant aspects taken into account when designing the TERNOx 2S series boilers is the reduction of the formation of pollutants in exhaust gases.
One of these consists of nitrogen oxides (Nox). In Europe, their
emission is governed by several legislative standards and provisions. Welding procedures and devices are approved and
certified according to EN Standards.
The main technical elements of the design are:
- An accurate study of geometries, to achieve an ideal ratio
between combustion volumes and exchange surfaces.
- The selection of the materials used to guarantee the long life
of the boiler.
Welding procedures and devices are approved and certified
according to EN Standards.
The boilers have pressurised combustion, with 3 flue gas passes with passing flame and wet inversion chamber.
The combustion gases produced by the burner, having passed
the combustion chamber of the furnace, enter the pipes in the
second flue gas pass.
2.2 - OPERATION PRINCIPLE
TERNOX 2S boilers have pressurised combustion, with 3 flue
gas passes with passing flame and wet inversion chamber.
The combustion gases produced by the burner, having passed
the inversion chamber of the furnace, enter the pipes in the
second flue gas pass.
After the exhaust gases return to the front of the boiler, they
again change direction and pass through the pipes of the third
flue gas pass towards the flue duct.
After the exhaust gases return to the front of the boiler, they
again change direction and pass through the pipes of the third
flue gas pass towards the flue duct.
This type of boilers achieves a high average yearly performance
and low content of harmful substances in the flue gas. Another
advantage of the three flue gas pass structure consists of the
fact that combustion products remain less time in high temperature areas, thus limiting harmful emissions of nitrogen oxides.
The boiler body is thermally insulated by the application of a
mineral wool mattress with a high insulation level to reduce
heat dispersion to extremely low levels. It is finished by aluminium sheets.
The combustion chamber is always pressurised while the burner is operating.
For the value of this pressure, see the TECHNICAL DATA table,
in the column Flue gas pressure drop.
The flue gas duct and the fitting to the flue must be implemented in compliance with Standards and Legislation in force, with
rigid ducts resistant to heat, condensation, mechanical stress
and airtight.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
INSTALLATION
3.1 - GENERAL WARNINGS
ATTENTION!
This boiler is intended solely for the use for
which it was expressly designed. Any other
use is to be considered improper and therefore dangerous.
This boiler heats water at a temperature
lower than the atmospheric pressure boiling
temperature.
Before connecting the boiler, have professionally
qualified personnel:
a) Thoroughly wash all the piping of the system
to remove any residues or impurities which
could jeopardise proper operation of the
boiler, even from a hygienic point of view.
b) Check that boiler is set up to operate with the
available type of fuel.
The type of fuel can be seen written on the
package and on the technical feature plate.
c) Check that the chimney/flue has an appropri-
ate draught, without any bottlenecks, and that
no exhausts from other appliances are inserted, unless the flue has been implemented to
accommodate several utilities according to
specific standards and prescriptions in force.
Only after this check can the fitting between
the boiler and chimney/flue be mounted.
ATTENTION!
In rooms with the presence of aggressive
vapours or dust, the appliance must operate
independently from the air inside the installation room!
ATTENTION!
The appliance must be installed by a qualified
technician with the technical-professional
requirements according to law 46/90 which,
under his own responsibility, guarantees
compliance with standards according to

3.4 - PACKAGING
TERNOX 2S boilers are supplied with casing and with the door
and smoke chamber assembled.
The panel and accessories are inside the combustion chamber.
Upon reception, make sure that the supply is complete and
undamaged.
The document envelope, besides the appliance, contains:
- Hydraulic test certificate
- Heating system booklet
- System manager operating instructions
- Installation and maintenance instruction booklet
- Warranty
- Local ventilation requirements label.
3.5 - HANDLING
TERNOX 2S boilers are equipped with lifting eyebolts.
Pay attention when handling the boiler and use equipment suitable for its weight.
18
3.6 - POSITIONING IN BOILER ROOM
TERNOX 2S boilers must be installed in rooms for exclusive
use complying with Technical Standards and Legislation in
force and with sufficiently sized air vents.
The ventilation openings must be permanent, communicating
directly with the outside and must be positioned high or low
according to standards in force.
The location of the ventilation openings, the fuel supply trains,
electric energy supply and lighting must comply with current
legal provisions in relation to the type of fuel used.
To make it easier to clean the smoke circuit, a free space must
be left in front of the boiler no less than the length of the boiler
body and, in any case, never less than 1300 mm. It must be
checked that with the door/s open 90°, the distance between
the door and the adjacent wall X is at least equal to the length
of the burner.
The boiler must rest on a perfectly level surface.
It is advisable to provide a flat, level cement basement capable
of bearing the weight of the boiler full of water. For the dimensions of the basement, see the dimensions R x B (dimensions
table).
If the burner is fed with fuel gas weighing more than air, the
electrical parts must be placed higher than 500 mm above the
ground.
The appliance cannot be installed outdoors as it was not so
designed and does not have automatic antifreeze systems.
Technical features and dimensions
19
3.7 - HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
ATTENTION!
Before connecting the boiler to the heating
system, thoroughly clean the piping with an
appropriate product compliant with UNI-CTI
8065, in order to eliminate metallic residue
from processing and welding, oil and grease
which could be present and which, reaching
the boiler, could alter its functioning.
Attention!
The fittings of the boiler must not take the
weight of the connecting pipes of the system; suitable supporting devices should be
installed to do this.
The dimensions of the supply and return pipes for each boiler
model are given in the DIMENSIONS table.
The connection pipes of the expansion vessel will start from the
T3 attachment (see DIMENSIONS TABLES) and must have no
shut-off valve.
Safety valve drain
Install a safety pressure valve on the flow pipe within 0.5 m of
the starting flange, sized according to the capacity of the boiler
and in compliance with local standards in force.
It is prohibited to place any type of shut-off valve between the
boiler and expansion vessel or between the boiler and safety
pressure valves. The valves used must be adjusted to trigger
not beyond the maximum allowed operating pressure.
3.9.1 - RECIRCULATION PUMP
Check that the system is fitted with a sufficient number of air
release valves.
Connection of expansion vessel
TERNOX 2S boilers are suitable for operating with forced water
circulation both with the expansion vessel opened or closed.
An expansion vessel is always necessary to compensate the
increase in water volume due to heating.
In the first case, the hydrostatic column must be
at least 3 m above the casing of the boiler and
sufficient to contain the volume increase of all
the water of the system between the exposed
surface of the water in the tank and the overflow
pipe.
3.8 - FILLING AND EMPTYING
THE SYSTEM
Attention!
Do not mix the heating water with incorrect
concentrations of antifreeze or anti-corrosion
substances! This could damage the gaskets
and cause noise during operation.
Unical will not be held liable for damage to
persons, animals or objects due to failure to
comply with the above instruction.
TERNOX 2S boilers must always operate with forced water
circulation and a minimum return temperature of 55°C.
It is therefore recommended to use a recirculation pump, which
also has an anti-condensation function, installed between the
flow and return connections upstream the mixing valve.
This pump is dimensioned according to the formula:
Q = P x 22
where Q = Flow rate in l/hr
P = Nominal output of boiler in kW
and head 1÷2 m H2O
The values displayed in the table can be used
as a reference.
When all system connections have been completed, the circuit
can be filled.
A specific tap can be connected to the T4 attachment at the rear of the boiler for filling and draining.
20
ATTENTION!
ANY DAMAGE TO THE BOILER CAUSED BY
THE FORMATION OF FOULING OR BY CORROSIVE WATER WILL NOT BE COVERED BY
THE WARRANTY.
3.9 - GAS CONNECTION
Connecting Gas
Danger!
The gas connection must be carried out only
by a qualified installer who must respect and
apply that foreseen by relevant laws in force
in the local prescriptions of the supply company. Incorrect installation can cause damage
to persons, animals and objects for which the
manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
Before installation, we recommend a thorough inner cleaning of all fuel adduction
piping to remove any residue which could
jeopardise proper operation of the boiler.
If you smell gas:
a) Do not turn electric switches on or off, use
a telephone or any other object which can
create sparks;
b) Immediately open doors and windows to
create an air current to air out the room;
c) Shut the gas cocks;
d) Request the intervention of professionally
qualified personnel.
3.10 - CONNECTION TO THE FLUE
The TERNOX 2S boiler can be attached to the chimney in different ways; straight pipes or elbows can be used to exit from
the rear, on the left, on the right, or else vertically to enter the
flue at a higher level.
It is recommended to insulate the pipe connecting to the chimney
to reduce heat loss and noise.
Along the section connecting the boiler to the flue there
must be suitable points for measuring flue gas temperature and analysing combustion products.
The flue gas duct and the fitting to the flue must be implemented in compliance with Standards and Legislation in force, with
rigid ducts resistant to heat, condensation, mechanical stress
and airtight.
The flue must guarantee the minimum negative pressure foreseen by Standards in force, considering “zero” pressure at the
flue duct fitting.
Inadequate or improperly sized flues and flue ducts can amplify
combustion noise, generate condensation problems and negatively affect combustion parameters.
Non-insulated exhaust pipes are a potential source of risk.
The seals of the junctions must be made with materials resistant to temperatures of at least 250°C.
Along the section connecting the boiler to the flue there must
be suitable points for measuring flue gas temperature and analysing combustion products.
Refer to national and local regulations in force for that which
regards the cross-section and height of the chimney.
Technical features and dimensions
21
3.11 - FURNACE DOOR: ADJUSTMENT,
OPENING AND CLOSING
IMPORTANT
- The door of the boiler must be opened when it is cooled off
to avoid thermal shocks.
- The rear factory material of the door can show cracks after
a short time of operation; this however does not reduce its
insulation capacity nor jeopardise its lifespan.
The door is hinged and fixed according to the indicated diagram:
In these cases, the two hinges on the left are normally used as
rotation hinges (from right to left), while the two on the right are
used as closing hinges.
It will be exactly the opposite when the door is opened from
left to right.
To invert rotation, just move the door support lock nut.
The following adjustments can be made on the door:
A) Adjustment in the vertical direction: by acting on the nut
of the upper hinge pin on which the door turns.
B) Adjustment in the transverse direction: loosen the hinges
fixed on the front plate of the boiler and move them sideways.
C) Adjustment in the axial direction: by adjusting the tightening
nuts.
3.12 - BURNERS
The burners operating with the TERNOX 2S boilers must have
the EC certification and comply with:
They must also be approved according to the specifications:
- UNI EN 267 - test methods for atomizing oil burners of the
monobloc type.
- UNI EN 676 - air-blown burners for gaseous fuel.
- Efficiency Directive (92/42 EEC).
22
3.12.1 - SELECTING THE BURNER
L
Ø A
The correct choice and adjustment of the burner are fundamental
for optimal operation of the boiler and therefore must be done
carefully and not underestimated.
The burner must be chosen verifying that its firing rate (fuel
capacity - combustion chamber pressure) is compatible with the
same features declared for the boiler.
Remember that pressure drops on the flue side of the boiler,
namely combustion chamber counter pressure, refer to zero
pressure at the base of the chimney.
It is also recommended that the burner blast tube be no shorter
than the minimum dimension shown in the following table and
that the flame which must be implemented be suitable for the
characteristics of the combustion chamber.
The manufacturing companies of the burners can supply the
dimensions of the flames which their appliances develop, especially those approved based on the standards indicated above.

3.12.2 - INSTALLATION OF THE BURNER
The burner must be mounted to the door of the boiler guaranteeing perfect sealing of the combustion products.
The burner is supplied with a piece of ceramic fibre cord which
must be placed on the blast tube of the burner to fully seal
the space between the blast tube and the slot in the door.
Make sure that no gaps remain between the blast tube and the
slot on the refractory material inside the door.
3.12.3 - CONNECTING FLAME CONTROL
WARNING LIGHT TO BURNER
The flame control warning light is supplied with a threaded 1/8”
connection with a 9mm pressure test nipple mounted on it, to
be used with a silicone tube to measure back pressure in the
combustion chamber.
In place of this test nipple, which must be kept, an appropriate
fitting will be mounted to connect the flame control warning light
directly to the pressure chamber downstream the burner fan by
means of a copper tube.
The air blown by the fan will conveniently cool the warning light
glass and keep it from blackening.
If the cooling tube is not connected to the warning light, it could
break.
Should a cone larger than the diameter of the blast tube be
mounted, it must be removed before mounting the burner on
the support plate and put back afterwards.
With the burner mounted, check that the flexible hoses of the
liquid fuel and the electric cables are long enough to allow the
door to open 90°.
For gas-fired burners, flexible hoses cannot be used for connections. Therefore it must be equipped with a threaded or flanged
joint for disconnecting the final section of the gas adduction tube.
Technical features and dimensions
ATTENTION: the flame control warning light
can be very hot; therefore pay the utmost
attention.

removed the two screws on the side and insert the electric
inlet cables and the outlet probe capillaries through the slots
at the base.
Insert the thermostat probe capillaries in the tube designed
for their passage, that is placed under the casing (see detail
“A”).
Pay special attention when unrolling the capillaries and insert
the bulbs in the two holders, inserting the contact springs and
blocking the capillaries with the fixing springs.
E) After having carried out the electric connections, close the
panel board and reposition the lower cover of the support box.
F) Remount the upper walkways.

3.14 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
General warnings
The electrical safety of the appliance is guaranteed only when it has been properly connected
to an efficient earthing system carried out as
intended by safety standards in force: pipes of the
gas, water and heating systems are absolutely
unsuitable as earthing electrodes.
It is necessary to verify this fundamental safety requirement. If
in doubt, have the electric system carefully checked by professionally qualified personnel as the manufacturer is not liable for
damage caused by failure to provide an earthing system.
Have professionally qualified personnel check
that the electric system is adequate for the maximum power absorbed by the appliance, indicated
on the data plate. Make sure in particular that
the cross-section of the cables is suitable for the
power absorbed by the appliance.
Use of any type of component using electric energy requires the
observance of some fundamental rules, such as:
• do not touch the appliance with wet and/or moist parts of the
body and/or in bare feet;
• do not pull the electric cables;
• do not leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric agents
(rain, sun, etc.) unless expressly designed;
• do not allow children or unskilled persons to use the appli-
ance.
230V electric power supply connection
The electrical connections are illustrated in chap. 3.15 .... 3.19.
The boiler installation requires a connection to a 230 V - 50 Hz
electric mains: this connection must be properly carried out as
provided for by current IEC regulations.
Danger!
Only a qualified technician may perform the
electrical installation.
Before performing connections or any type
of operation on electrical parts, always disconnect electrical power and make sure that
it cannot be reconnected accidentally.
Remember that a bipolar switch must be installed on the boiler
power line with over 3 mm between contacts, easy to access,
making maintenance quick and safe.

3.22.2 - Ignition and extinction
Ignition
When the checks indicated in the previous paragraph are successful, the burner can be commissioned by a technician qualified and acknowledged by the Manufacturer of the burner.
The technician takes on all responsibility regarding calibration
within the declared and approved output range of the boiler.
After having opened the fuel shut-off valves and made sure
there are no leaks in the adduction circuit, set all switches at
ON.
The burner is now ready for commissioning and adjustment,
performed solely by the above-mentioned technician.
During commissioning, you must check that the door, the burner flange and connections with the chimney are airtight and that
there is a slight negative pressure at the base of the flue.
The fuel flow rate must correspond to the plate data of the boiler. It must by no means exceed the maximum declared nominal
output value.
The flue gas temperature must never drop below 160°C.
Extinction
- Set the operating thermostat at minimum.
- Disconnect power to the burner and close the fuel supply.
- Leave the pumps running until they are stopped by the mini-
mum thermostat.
- Disconnect power to the electric panel.
3.23 - ADJUSTING THE BURNER
The following instructions are intended exclusively for service personnel authorised by the manufacturer of the burner.
Burner calibration and preliminary operations are described in
the burner's instruction booklet.
Gas-fired burners are equipped with a gas valve with which the
flow rate can be determined: upon commissioning the actual
thermal flow rate must always be controlled by means of the
counter on the main piping, making sure it is not below the
minimum value on the data plate of the boiler.
When the burner is adjusted properly, the following values should
be obtained, measured at the chimney by a specific analyser:
for diesel oil with max visc. 1.5°E at 20°C:
1)
- CO2 ~ 12÷13%
- Bacharach flue gas index ‹1
- Flue gas temperature ~ 190÷210 °C
2) with natural gas:
- CO2 ~ 9÷10%
- Flue gas temperature ~ 180÷200°C
(values for boiler cleaned with water at ~ 70°C).
The flow rate of the fuel should be adjusted to the actual requirement of the system without, on the one hand, exceeding
the indicated flue gas temperature and on the other, without
dropping below 160°C.
42
3.24 - CHECKS DURING AND AFTER
COMMISSIONING
When the appliance has been commissioned, check that it
performs a shutdown and subsequent ignition:
- by modifying the boiler thermostat calibration;
- by intervening on the main switch of the panel board.
Check tightness of all the gaskets on the water and flue gas
side. They must be further tightened when hot to guarantee
perfect sealing.
This operation is crucial for the gasket of the
doors, of the burner plate and of the flue gas
casing so that toxic and dangerous combustion
fumes do not escape from the boiler room.
Then tighten them when hot to guarantee
perfect sealing.
3.25 - ALKALINE
OR “BOILING” WASH
This is a treatment carried out by specialised companies on
the new boiler.
It removes deposits consisting of residual oil, grease and metal
oxides caused by processing and assembly of the boiler.
If these substances are not eliminated, corrosion is caused due
to the obstruction of the formation of a passivation coating on
surfaces exposed to water.
Execution of alkaline wash:
- Fill the boiler with water.
It is also very important to check sealing of the boiler/chimney
fitting for the reasons expressed above.
It is also extremely important to progressively tighten the gasket
of the railing and manhole of the generator as the temperature
increases for perfect sealing: otherwise the first time it leaks,
the gasket would need to be replaced.
Check that the appliance fully stops when acting on the main
switch of the system.
After all these conditions have been met, the burner must
be properly calibrated at the maximum output allowed by the
boiler, analysing the flue gas to achieve correct combustion and
as few polluting emissions as possible.
As the pressure of the water in the system increases during
operation, make sure that its maximum value does not exceed
the design pressure of the boiler.
- Instruments (pressure switch, pressure gauge etc.) must be
excluded before starting the wash.
- Introduce 0.3 to 1% of caustic soda, sodium carbonate or
trisodium triphosphate into the total content of the water.
- Specific surfactants must be added to these substances
ranging from 0.05 to 0.15% of the total content of the water.
- Switching on the burner, bring the water to a temperature of
80-90°C and have it circulate in the boiler for 12-14 hours.
- Slowly empty the content and simultaneously introduce cold
water to rinse it properly.
3.26 - BOILER SHUTDOWN
To shut down the boiler for a long period, proceed as follows:
- perform the preservation procedure of the water side, which
can be wet or dry;
- turn off the main switch of the electric panel and disconnect
the power supply;
- close the fuel shut-off valve;
- perform the flue gas side preservation procedure;
- protect all control, adjustment and safety devices from dust
and humidity.
"Wet preservation" entails completely filling the boiler and
adding preserving or neutralising products to the water.
Then the system must be sealed by closing all the shut-off
valves.
This type of preservation is not recommended if there is a risk
of freezing.
"Dry preservation" requires emptying the boiler.
Open the railing, completely dry the inside of the boiler by
blowing air and insert highly hygroscopic substances (e.g.
quick lime).
Close all the shut-off valves and the railing, thus sealing the
generator.
Preservation of the flue gas side is performed as follows: open
the inspection doors, remove the burner and disassemble the
cap, clean all surfaces from soot (which could contain sulphur
which becomes sulphuric acid when it becomes moist) and
insert highly hygroscopic substances (e.g. quick lime) into the
furnace and flue gas casing.
Hermetically close all the inspection doors, put the burner cap
and burner back in place.

INSPECTIONS AND
MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance is essential in the interest of the safety, efficiency and durability
of the appliance.
All maintenance must be carried out by qualified personnel.
Yearly maintenance of the appliance is mandatory in compliance with Laws in force.
Failure to perform Inspections and Maintenance can entail material and personal
damage.
All cleaning and maintenance operations
must be preceded by closing the fuel supply,
after having disconnected electricity.
In order to make the most of the boiler,
you should properly clean the combustion
chamber, smoke pipes and smoke chamber.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Before opening the furnace door, it is necessary
to take the following safety measures:
- Close the fuel supply (diesel oil or gas) to the
burner.
- Cool the boiler off by having water circulate
and then disconnect electrical power.
- Place a sign on the boiler with the following
text: DO NOT USE, BOILER MAINTENANCE
UNDERWAY, OUT OF SERVICE.
Inspections help to determine the actual status of
the appliance and to compare it with the nominal
status. This is done through measuring, controls
and observation.
Maintenance is required to eliminate any differences between the actual status and the nominal status. This is normally done by cleaning, setting and
replacing individual components subject to wear.
Maintenance intervals and their extent are determined by a specialist based on the status of the
appliance ascertained through inspection.
Routine maintenance
Maintenance must be established based on the fuel used, the
number of ignitions, the features of the system, etc. Therefore it
is not possible to establish beforehand the frequency of maintenance.
The following cleaning intervals are recommended depending
on the type of fuel:
- Gas-fired boilers: once a year.
- Diesel oil-fired boilers: twice a year.
- Fuel oil boilers: every 300 hours of operation.
In any case, local standards regarding maintenance must be
respected.
During routine maintenance operations, the tube bundle and
furnace must be brushed.
Remove deposits built up in the flue gas casing by opening the
inspection doors.
For more energetic actions, remove the rear smoke chamber
and replace the flue gas gasket if worn. Check that the condensation discharge is not obstructed.
Check that the control and measurement devices serving the
generator work properly. On this occasion, the amount of recirculation water used must be detected. After having analysed
the water, perform preventive descaling.
Calcium and magnesium salts dissolved in the water with repeated top ups give rise to deposits in the boiler and cause the
sheet-metal to overheat, with possible damage which cannot
be attributed to the materials or manufacturing, and therefore is
not covered by warranty.
After having performed maintenance and cleaning operations
and subsequent ignition, check the seals of the door and of the
smoke chamber. If any combustion products leak, replace the
relative gaskets.
The operations carried out must be written in the boiler room
booklet.
Extraordinary maintenance
Extraordinary maintenance at end of season or for long idle
periods.
All the operations described in the previous chapter must be
carried out, plus:
- After cleaning the flue gas circuit, pass a rag soaked with a
solution diluted with caustic soda. After leaving it to dry, repass all the surfaces with a rag soaked in oil.
- It is recommended to place hygroscopic substances inside
the furnace (quick lime, silicon gel in small containers) and to
close it hermetically so that no air enters.
- Do not empty the system and the boiler.
- Protect screws, nuts and pins of the door with graphite
grease.
The operations carried out must be written in the boiler room
booklet.

Inspection and maintenance instructions
To assure long-term functioning of your appliance
and to avoid altering its approved status, only
original Unical spare parts must be used.
Before proceeding with maintenance, always perform the following operations:
• Disconnect the electric mains switch.
• Isolate the appliance from the electric mains by means of
an isolated device with a contact opening of at least 3 mm
(e.g. safety devices or power switches) and make sure that
it cannot be re-connected accidentally.
• Close the gas shut-off valve upstream the boiler (where
present).
• Close any shut-off valves on the heating flow and return
pipes.
Boiler body maintenance
Danger!
Before performing any maintenance, make
sure the boiler and its components have
cooled down.
Disconnect the boiler from the electric mains
and shut the gas supply (if any) to the appliance.
Attention!
Before cleaning the boiler body, protect the
panel board against any water sprays.
After having completed all maintenance work, always perform
the following operations:
• Open the heating flow and return pipes.
• If necessary, restore the heating system pressure until it
reaches the static pressure relative to the highest point of
the system.
• Open the gas shut-off valve (where present).
• Reconnect the appliance to the electric mains and engage
the switch.
• Check tightness of the appliance on the gas side (where
present) and on the water side.
• Vent the heating system and restore pressure if necessary.
Should you decide to temporarily deactivate the boiler, you
must:
a) intercept the supplies: electric, water and fuel;
b) empty the water system if antifreeze is not used.
Check condition of gaskets and insulation fibres
The insulation fibre of the door can show cracks
after a short time of operation; this however does
not reduce its insulation capacity nor jeopardise
its lifespan. Check the condition of the seal gasket which must not show signs of deterioration;
if so, it must be replaced, using only original
spare parts.
Check the condition of the smoke chamber inspection cover
gasket.
Replace it if worn, using only original spare parts.
Once a year, at the end of the heating season, the boiler must
receive a general cleaning.
Before performing any maintenance, make sure that all the
precautions referred to in the previous point have been taken.
To proceed with maintenance you must:
- disconnect power by acting on the main switch;
- remove the burner, which could be overhauled at the same
time;
- open the furnace door to access the combustion chamber;
- remove the smoke chamber access door;
- brush the smoke ducts energetically to remove any trace of
filth.
Maintenance of burner
Burner maintenance must be carried out by personnel authorised
by its manufacturer (or else the warranty shall be terminated).
