IGNITION AND DETECTION ELECTRODES
11 IGNITION, DETECTION ELECTRODES
AND BURNER
11 .1 Function
Three electrodes are fitted on the fan-burner group.
Two of them, fitted on the right side of the fan-burner group "A",
are the ignition electrodes "B".
On the left side is the detection electrode "C" and it detects the
presence of the flame.

11 .2 Removal of the Ignition and detection elec-
trodes
Warning: isolate the boiler from the mains electrici-
ty supply before removing any covering or compo-
nent .
1 Remove all the case panels (see section "2 General access
and emptying hydraulic circuits" on page 4).
2 Disconnect the ignition electrodes connector "D" and the
earth wire "E" (Figure 11.1) and disconnect the detection
electrode connector "F".
3 Unscrew the screws "G" and remove the ignition electrodes
"B" and the detection electrode "C".
4 Assemble the Ignition and detection electrodes carrying out
the removal operation in reverse order.
Warning: A new sealing gasket must be used during
refitting of the electrodes on all occasions of re
-
moval .
11 .3 Removal of the air-gas duct gasket
See warning note at the end of this chapter before to remove
this part .
1 Unscrew the screws "I" (Figure 11.1 - Figure 11.3) and re-
move the Air-gas duct lid.
2 Assemble the new front insulation carrying out the removal
operation in reverse order. When fitting the new panel ensure
that the electrodes holes coincide with the holes of the com-
bustion chamber.

Caution:
After any periodical servicing or disturbance the combustion
chamber silicon seal (Figure 11.4) and the Air-gas duct gasket
(Figure 11.3) must be fully inspected and replaced at the discre-
tion of the service engineer.
After any disturbance to the chamber door seal the appiance
must undergo a full analytical combustion performance check.
11 .4 Removal of the front insulation panel
See warning note at the end of this chapter before to remove
this part .
1 Remove the Ignition and detection electrodes (see section
"11.2 Removal of the Ignition and detection electrodes" on
