65 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND CHECKS
•
Safety Valve or unit:
IMPORTANT.
The safety valve or unit must be operated
periodically (at least once every month). Refer to the
instructions attached to the safety valve or the safety unit.
This operation eliminates any deposits that could
eventually prevent the safety valve from operating
correctly.
WARNING.
Failure to respect this maintenance rule can
result in damage to the calorifier and make the warranty
null and void.
•
Descaling:
In hard water regions, it is advisable to ask the fitter
to descale the DHW tank exchanger once a year in
order to maintain its level of performance.
•
Titanium Anode:
No maintenance required.
WARNING.
The boiler control panel must be
switched on to ensure that the titanium anode is
operational.
•
Calorifier Cladding:
The calorifier cladding can be cleaned with soapy
water.
66 OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT FOR DESCALING, VISUAL INSPECTION
OR TO REPLACE THE TITANIUM ANODE
•
Shut off the domestic cold water supply and empty the
calorifier. Put the unit into the drain position before
starting to drain the safety unit, and open a hot water tap to
allow air to enter.
•
Lift up the front panel to remove it.
•
Remove the sensor.
•
Remove the inspection flange (13mm spanner).
•
Remove sludge or scale deposited in the bottom of the
tank. There is no need to remove scale from the walls.
•
Put the inspection trap back into place making sure that
the sensor attachment tab is facing downwards.
- put the lip seal back into place and position it in the
inspection orifice taking care that the tab of the inspection
orifice is facing the outside of the calorifier.
- position the retaining ring around the seal, taking care to
place the tab above the retaining ring.
- refit the flange using the 6 nuts, tightening uniformly
crosswise.
WARNING
. The inspection flange nuts must not be over
tightened: 6Nm ± 1 : use a torque wrench. Note: approximately
6Nm can be obtained by holding the box spanner with the short
lever.
•
Check the water tightness of the calorifier after reassembly.
