MAINTAINING TWIN FLOW
All gas appliances must be serviced at least annually
by a CORGI registered engineer. This should include :
Water Heater
Isolate electrics and valve off hot, cold, and gas to unit.
Check the water filter and strainer to be sure there are no blockages.
Remove the combustion fan and clean the impeller.
Check the burner for wear or water damage. Vacuum out any debris.
Wipe out chamber.
Check the heat exchanger for soot or hot spots that could be caused by
poor combustion.
Clean carbon build up from ionisation and ignition probes.
Check flue terminal for blockages or potential blockages, check that flue
is in good condition.
Check all electrical connections are reconnected
The gas pressures should then be re-set. The procedure is detailed in
the water heater manual.
Verify temperature control by checking temperature at outlet, keep in
mind that there will be pipework losses.
Check all gas joints inside the unit with an electronic gas detection
device when starting unit.
Leak check all joints back to the service valve for commercial
installations, or tightness check the system in domestic properties.
Boiler
Isolate electrics and gas
Clean inside of casing with soft cloth
Remove combustion fan and burner assembly
Remove burner cassette check for damage, cracks etc. If cracked
replace complete cassette. Clean with soft brush and vacuum cleaner
Replace all gaskets: burner, fan, and heat exchanger.
Check venturi and gas/air distribution plate for dirt and clean
Check heat exchanger for dirt, if necessary clean with soft brush and
vacuum cleaner. Taking care to prevent dirt falling back into the heat
exchanger. FLUSHING THE HEAT EXCHANGER FROM THE TOP
DOWN IS NOT PERMITTED,
Check ignition and ionisation probes clean if necessary and replace if
cracked.
Refit all components
Check condensate drain to ensure it is not blocked
Check flue to ensure it is clear
Reinstate electrics and gas supply
Fire boiler and check all safety devices
Check combustion if alteration to the combustion is required refer to the
boiler manual
