Withdraw the spark electrode carefully from the combustion chamber, see fig 8.4. Inspect the tips for damage. Clean away any debris and check the spark gap is 3.5 -4.5 mm.
8 Inspection and maintenance Note! If the burner has to be removed it will require a SECTION THROUGH new gasket when refitted. BURNER DOOR SHOWING POSITION OF SEAL Note! When replacing ensure that the sealing BURNER grommet, situated below the gas valve is DOOR correctly re-seated.
8 Inspection and maintenance 8.1.8 Condensate drain The condense drain does not normally need removing during servicing. To flush the condense drain carefully pour water into the heat exchanger and check that water flows freely to drain. If the condense drain is blocked, refer to parts replacement section 11 for removal.
Combustion analysis 9 Combustion analysis Note! The boiler is fitted with a combustion analysis test point. A suitable combustion analyser can be connected to this point to establish the combustion performance of the boiler. Check CO content Refer to table 9.1 and if necessary set (air-ratio adjustment).
