AND REMEDIES FOR BOSKY BOILERS
Burner is clogged
Clean the burner by shifting the grate to the
winter position and riddle until the ash drops
through
Moisture content of wood is
too high or pieces too large
Use smaller pieces of firewood and more
seasoned firewood
Difficulty igniting the fire
Insufficient air in the room
Create an adequate opening for air inlet
(see PARA. 7.3)
Poor draft
See causes -remedies "Poor draft" (below)
Firewood has not yet caught
alight
Open the fire rekindling ring (para. 5.1) and
wait for it to catch alight
The ash pan door and/or
inspection fire rekindling ring
is open.
Close the ash pan door and/or the flame
rekindling ring
The water in the boiler has a tendancy to boil
The pumps are not working
Inspect the pumps
Faulty anticondensate
thermostat
Replace thermostat
Tendancy to generate condensation (presence of
humidity/water in the ash pan and under the heater)
Poor draught
See causes -remedies "Poor draft" (below)
Low boiler temperature
Connect pumps to panel
The boiler does not heat sufficiently
Firewood pieces are too
large
Split the firewood into smaller pieces
Poor draft
See causes -remedies "Poor draft" (below)
Insufficient air in the room
Create an adequate opening for air inlet
(see PARA. 7.3)
Oxidised cook top
Poor maintaince of the cook
top
Clean and maintain cook top as described
in para. 6.3
Impossible to operate at night
(the fuel burns too quickly).
Uncontrolled combustion.
Draft too strong
Reduce the draft by installing a register in
the chimney.
Poor draft
Raise the flue outlet, install an anti-
downdraft cap on the chimney top.
Difficulty in controlling the temperature.
Draft too strong
Reduce the draft by installing a register in
the chimney.
Poor draft
Inspect the flue draft: Presence of
constrictions int he chimney, too many
curves, poor insulation,section too small /
clean the flue outlet/ lift the cook top and
thoroughly clean the smoke passage and in
particular the additional heat exchanger.
Puffs of smoke issue from the top of the heater when
the door is slammed shut.
Insufficient air in the room
Create an adequate opening for air inlet
(see PARA. 7.3)
Variable draft
Raise the flue outlet, install an anti-
downdraft cap on the chimney top.
Variable combustion rhythm.
Good combustion only occasionally, almost appears
to depend on the wind conditions.
Insufficient air in the room
Create an adequate opening for air inlet
(see PARA. 7.3)
Smoke in the room.
Difficulty keeping the fire alight.
Difficulty reaching the temperature in the oven.
Low temperature of cook top.
Flame insensitive to variations in draft.
Puffs of smoke while operating.
Soot deposits in hood.
Impossible to operate during the night (fuel remains
unburnt).
Water does not reach the required temperature.
