7 MAINTENANCE
7.1 SUGGESTED MINIMUM MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Regular service by a qualied service agency and maintenance
must be performed to ensure maximum operating efciency.
Periodic maintenance is essential to the safety, efciency and
lifetime of the boiler.
It allows for the reduction of consumption, polluting emissions
and keeping the product reliable over time.
The frequency of servicing will depend upon the particular
installation conditions, but in general, once per year should be
sufcient. It is the law that any service work is carried out by a
competent person such as a qualied technician, an approved
service agent, or other suitably qualied personnel.
9 WARNING: Service should only be carried out by a qualied
service technician. This appliance produces carbon
monoxide (CO) gases. The venting should never be taken
apart by anyone other than a qualied technician. The
venting should not be separated. Failure to comply may
result in severe personal injury or death.
9 WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical
supply before performing maintenance.
9 WARNING: Annual service should ONLY be performed by a
qualied service agency. Schedule annual service by calling
a licensed service agency.
-Visually check top of vent for soot. Call service person to clean.
Some sediment at bottom of vent is normal.
-Visually inspect all flue product carrying areas of the boiler
including the venting system and main burner for proper
function, deterioration or leakage. Ensure that condensate
drains are inspected and ensure that condensate is being
directed to appropriate condensate management system or
drain, as required by local codes.
-Check that area is free from combustible materials, gasoline,
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
-Check for and remove any obstruction to the flow of combustion
or ventilation air to heater.
-Check operation of safety devices. Refer to manufacturers’
instructions.
Listen for water ow noises indicating a drop in boiler water
ow rate
-To avoid potential of severe burn, DO NOT REST HANDS ON OR
GRASP PIPES. Use a light touch; return piping will heat up
quickly.
-Check fan and fan motor.
-Check for piping leaks around pumps, relief valves and
other fittings. Repair, if found. DO NOT use petroleum-based
stopleak.
-Check relief valve. Refer to manufacturer’s instructions on
valve.
-Check the condensate check valve dispositive and, if necessary,
please contact your Service Technician.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
9 WARNING: The pressure relief valve lever must be operated
at least once a year by qualied personnel during annual
maintenance to ensure that water-ways are clear.
Cleaning
-To clean the outer casing use only a clean damp cloth. Do not
use any scourers or abrasive cleaners.
-The Condensate Trap must be periodically disassembled and
cleaned as part of a regular maintenance plan. Failure to
clean the trap regularly can cause condensate drain blockage
leading to boiler malfunction, property damage and even
personal injury.
9 CAUTION: Glycol must be replaced periodically due to
degradation of inhibitors over time. Follow all glycol
manufacturer’s instructions.
