Check electrodes for their 
positioning according to 
instructions (see figure). 
It is important that the monitoring 
electrode [IO] lies tangential to 
the ignition burner head and not 
within it.
The ignition electrode [Z] must 
discharge to the outside edge 
of the ignition burner at an 
appropriate distance to the 
monitoring electrode.
2) Inspection of the flue gas and
supply air lines
Carry out a visual inspection of the 
status of all lines and connectors.
Remove any accumulation of dirt 
that has formed on the endpiece 
of the supply air line.
3)
 Inspection and cleaning of the 
Venturi tube
Remove the dirt at the input of the 
Venturi tube with a small brush 
or other suitable tool. Make sure 
that it does not fall into the Venturi 
tube.
4) Check of the gas input pressure
Make sure that the pressure at the 
input of the gas valve corresponds
to the prescribed value for the 
respective gas type.
This check must be carried out 
with the unit switched on at high 
output.
5) Inspection of the flame
monitoring unit.
Close the gas cock in the unit 
heating mode and make sure that 
the fault F1 occurs. Open the gas 
cock again, unlock and wait for the 
unit to restart.
6) Check of the safety
thermostat(s)
The inspection must be carried out 
in the unit heating mode.
- Heat up the thermostat sensor
with a hot air gun or other 
suitable means until the fault F2 
is displayed.. 
- Let the thermostat sensor cool
down and reset the unit again.
- This check should be carried out
at all existing thermostats.
In order to preserve the 
performance and a long service 
life of the equipment, some 
mandatory inspections must be 
carried out once annually and in 
each case prior to the beginning of 
the heating season:
1) Check condition of the ignition
and monitoring electrodes as 
well as the ignition gas burner
2) Check condition of the supply
and flue gas lines as well as the 
end pieces
3) Inspect Venturi tube for dirt
4) Inspect heat exchanger for dirt
5) Check gas pressure at the input
to the gas valve
6) Check function of the flame
monitoring unit
7) Check of the safety
thermostat(s)
8) Inspection of the ionisation
current (>2 microamperes)
1) Inspection of the electrodes
Completely disassemble the 
ignition burner and clean gas net 
and gas nozzle with compressed 
air. 
Check the ceramic of the 
electrodes for integrity. 
Carefully remove any oxidation 
accumulation on the metal part 
of the electrodes with fine emery 
paper.

With steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 the 
power and gas supply to the 
unit must be interrupted. Steps 
5, 6, 7 and 8 take place in the 
unit heating mode.
