2.1 Maintenance notes
Performing regular cleaning and maintenance
To ensure satisfactory functionality, cleaning and
maintenance must be performed at regular intervals.
You will receive a timely reminder about this from the
ETAtouch control system.
Cleaning of the boiler must be carried out at least
once a year, or when requested by the control
system. Maintenance is necessary at least every
3 years, or when requested by the control system. We
recommend that you perform maintenance annually.
You can also enter into a service agreement for your
heating system. Find out more from your heating
contractor or customer service.
All tasks where the maintenance table reads
"Customer" or "Customer or expert" in the column
"To be carried out by" can be carried out by any trained
adult. Instruction may be provided by the heating
technician or our customer service.
Steps that are marked with "Expert" only can only be
carried out by the heating technician or our customer
service.
Operation only by trained personnel
The product may be operated by trained adults only.

our customer service. Please read the associated doc-
umentation carefully in order to avoid errors during
operation and maintenance.
Persons who lack experience and knowledge as well
as children may not operate, clean, or maintain the
product.
Clean and maintain the precipitator together with
the boiler
The intervals for cleaning and maintaining the precipi-
tator correspond to those for the boiler. Therefore,
clean and upkeep the precipitator in the course of
cleaning and upkeeping the boiler.
Clean the precipitator before the emission
measurement
We recommend cleaning the precipitator before an
emission measurement is made. Therefore, empty the
precipitator ash box and clean the piping between
boiler and precipitator. Also clean the flue gas recircu-
lator if one is installed.

2.4 Regular maintenance
2.4.1 Empty ash bin
End heating mode
End the boiler's heating mode with the On/Off switch in
the boiler overview window. The boiler performs an
ember burnout and then changes to the [Switched off]
operating mode. Then start de-ashing, so that the
boiler can perform a final de-ashing.
Empty the ash bin, inspect the seals
If the boiler's ash bins are already empty, also
empty the precipitator's ash bin. This prevents an
additional boiler switch-off.
Open both side fasteners by pressing their locks in the
direction of the arrow.
Fig. 2-1: Ash bin
Remove the ash bin from the precipitator. Open both
fasteners on the cover and empty the ash bin.

Regular maintenance Cleaning and maintenance
Inspect the ash bin seals on the precipitator to ensure
they are in good order and replace if necessary.
Fig. 2-4: Seals
After emptying the ash bin, close the cover on the ash
bin and attach the ash bin to the precipitator with the
two fasteners.
Fig. 2-5: Ash bin
Once the ash bin is attached, precipitator de-
ashing starts automatically in order to transport
the remaining ash to the ash bin.
Switch the boiler on via the mains switch and start
de-ashing
Restore the boiler's power supply from the mains
switch. Start de-ashing, so that the boiler can perform
de-ashing. Switch the boiler back on with the On/Off
switch.

Only clean out the piping with an ash vacuum.
Fig. 2-7: Clean out piping
WARNING!
Never brush ash into the precipitator
Only clean out the piping with an ash vacuum.
Never sweep ash into the precipitator as this can
block the precipitator's exhaust path. As a result,
the boiler can no longer ignite and this can lead to
deflagrations.

Fig. 2-19: Maintenance cover
Check and remove ash accumulations
Inspect the inner walls of the precipitator for ash accu-
mulations. Cleaning is not functioning correctly if there
is too much ash on the inner walls or on the electrodes.
The cause must be found and eliminated.
Fig. 2-20: Ash accumulations
Use the cleaning brush to carefully scrape the ash ac-
cumulations from the inner walls. Especially the area
above the sliding rake.
Fig. 2-21: Clean the inner walls

16 www.eta.co.at
Cleaning (customer) Cleaning and maintenance
Do not damage or bend the electrode during
cleaning.
Fig. 2-22: Electrode
Clean flushing air opening
Vacuum out the opening for the electrode flushing air
on the isolator on the inside of the precipitator.
Fig. 2-23: Flushing air opening on the isolator
Do not clean the opening with compressed air,
because this will stir up the ash,which can end up
in the precipitator control system and cause damage.
Clean and inspect the electrode holder
Clean both electrode holders with a soft cloth.
Fig. 2-24: Electrode holder
Then inspect the status of the electrode holders.
The best way to do this is to check the electrode
holder manually, especially the area around the
flushing air openings. If cracks or small holes can be
"felt" there is damage. In this case, contact ETA
Customer Support.
Check the alignment of the electrodes
The electrodes must be in the centre of the precipitator
so that the flue gas can be optimally cleaned.
Therefore, check the clearance from the electrodes to
the inner walls.
Fig. 2-25: Electrode
If the clearance is uneven, check the electrodes.
They may have been bent during cleaning.

Check maintenance cover seal
Clean the maintenance cover. Inspect the seal on the
maintenance cover to ensure it is in good order and
replace if necessary.
Fig. 2-26: Maintenance cover
CAUTION!
Avoid operation with damaged seals
Never operate the precipitator with damaged seals.
Otherwise, leak air is sucked in, disturbing the
combustion process and causing increased wear.
Always replace seals immediately when they are
damaged.
Re-attach maintenance cover and panels
Place the maintenance cover and tighten the screws
evenly and cross-wise.
