8 CLEANING
maintenance and cleaning
The heater should be cleaned and checked
annually by an authorised installer.
Check that:
-the gas supply is airtight;
-the regulator and the thermocouple circuit
function properly and that the burner ignites
properly.
Clean (if necessary):
-the pilot system;
-the burner;
-the combustion chamber;
-the flue gas exhaust.
cleaning the burner
Once the heater has cooled down sufficiently,
the burner can be cleaned.
Burnt dust gives off an unpleasant smell and
also results in discoloration of walls and
ceilings. Although such discoloration can
never be entirely avoided, it can be restricted
to a minimum by keeping the room, the
housing and the internal mechanism free of
dust.
Discoloration of the housing can be prevented
by cleaning it regularly with soap and water.
After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean
water and rub dry. Never use aggressive or
abrasive cleaning agents for the housing.
