smoke ducts of the boiler. After clean-
ing, position the circulators in their
original position (fig. 15).
4.7.2 Cleaning combustion head
(fig. 16)
The combustion head is cleaned in the
following manner (fig. 16):
– Disconnect the high tension cables
from the electrodes.
– Unscrew the fixture screws of the
circulator support and remove it.
– Brush the propeller delicately (tur-
bulence disc).
– Carefully clean the photo-resist-
ance of eventual deposits of dirt
deposited on its surface.
– Clean the remaining components
of the combustion head of eventual
deposits.
– Upon completion re-assemble the
unit in the opposite way as described
above taking care to respect the
indicated measurements.
4.7.3 Substitution of nozzle
The nozzle should be substituted at
the beginning of every heating system
for guaranteeing the correct fuel flow
and a good spray efficiency.
The nozzle is substituted in the follow-
ing manner:
– Disconnect the high tension cables
from the electrodes.
– Loosen the fixture screw (A fig.
16) of the electrodes support and
remove it.
– Block the spray door using a n°19
spanner and unscrew the nozzle
with a n°16 spanner (fig. 17).

FAULT FINDING

There follow a list of some reasons
and the possible remedies for a series
of faults which could happen causing
a failure or an irregular function of
the appliance. A function fault, in most
cases, causes the "lock out" signal
on the control panel to turn on. When
this light turns on, the burner can only
function again after the reset button
has been pressed; once this has been
done and a regular ignition occurs, the
failure can be defined momentary and
not dangerous.
On the contrary, if the "lock out" per-
sists, then the cause of the fault as
well as the remedy must be looked for
in the following faults:
The burner does not ignite
– Check the electric connections.
– Check the regular fuel flow, the
cleanness of the filters, of the noz-
zle and air vent from the tube.
– Check the regular spark ignition
and the proper function of the burn-
er.
The burner ignites regularly but the
flame goes out immediately
– Check the flame detection, the air
calibration and the function of the
appliance.
Difficulty in regulating the burner
and/or lack of yield
– Check: the regular flow of fuel, the
cleanness of the boiler, the non
obstruction of the smoke duct, the
real input supplied by the burner
and its cleanness (dust).

– Check the burner regulator (smoke
analysis), the fuel quantity, the flue
obstruction and the cleanness of the
air duct of the burner (dust).
The boiler does not heat up
– Control the cleanness of the shell,

the matching, the adjustment, the
burner performances, the pre-
adjusted temperature, the correct
function and position of the regula-
tion stat.
– Make sure that the boiler is suf-
ficiently powerful for the appliance.
Smell of unburnt products
– Control the cleanness of the boiler
shell and the flue, the airtightness
of the boiler and of the flue ducts
(door, combustion chamber, smoke
ducts, flue, washers).
– Control the quality of the fuel.
Frequent intervention of the boiler
shutoff valve
– Control the presence of air in the
system, the function of the circula-
tion pumps.
– Check the load pressure of the
appliance, the efficiency of the
expansion tanks and the valve cali-
bration.
