To ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of the
appliance it is recommended that it is checked at regular
intervals and serviced as necessary.
The frequency of servicing will depend upon the installation
condition and usage but sho uld be carried out at least
annually.
It is the law that any service work must be carried out by a
registered CORGI installer.
In IE, servicing work must be carried out by a competent
person.
1 Turn the heating controls to maximum so that the boiler
lights and remains running. Check that no other gas
appliances in the house are in use or likely to be used.
2 When the boiler has settled down check the gas rate at
the meter (if the meter is of the pointer type you should
time only complete revolutions of the pointer). Check the
gas rate against the figures given in Table 2 for CH
operation.
3 For a combination boiler, fully open a hot water tap. When
the boiler has settled down check the gas rate, as in step
2,checkingthemeasuredrateagainstthefiguresgivenin
Table 3 for HW operation.
4 Run the boiler and check the percentage of CO and CO2
in the flue gasses at the sampling point indicated in the
following drawing.

Exhaust gas

Air intake
Note. If your meter reads CO in parts per million the figure
must be divided by 10,000 to convert it to a percentage.
5 IftheratioofCO/CO
2
is less than ,004 and the gas rates
measured in steps 3 and 4 are close to nominal then no
further action need be taken. If not, proceed to step 6.
6 Clean the main burner.
7 Clean the heat exchanger.

switch off and disconnect the electricity supply to the
appliancebeforeservicing.
Switching the boiler on/off switch ‘off’ does not fully
isolate the boiler.
