54 Maintaining the Boiler
If hot water will not flow and you suspect that the boiler is
frozen, follow these steps:
1. Press the Power button (
) on the front panel to turn off
the boiler.
2. Close the gas valve.

3. Open the hot water tap that is closest to the boiler.
4. Use a hair dryer or a portable electric heater to heat up both
the primary and secondary heat exchangers.
5. Check every few minutes to see if water is running at the
open tap.
6. When the water starts flowing again, check the boiler and
piping for leaks. If you detect any leaks or the boiler is not
operating properly, contact an authorised technician or
licensed professional.
Note
This boiler requires very little maintenance, however
a qualified technician should inspect the boiler at the
beginning of every heating season and/or when there
is a problem.
