2 Cleaning and maintenance

2.1 Maintenance notes

Performing regular cleaning and maintenance

To ensure satisfactory functionality, cleaning and

maintenance must be performed at regular intervals.

You will receive a timely reminder about this from the

ETAtouch control system.

Cleaning of the boiler must be carried out at least

once a year, or when requested by the control

system. Maintenance is necessary at least every

3 years, or when requested by the control system. We

recommend that you perform maintenance annually.

You can also enter into a service agreement for your

heating system. Find out more from your heating

contractor or customer service.

All tasks where the maintenance table reads

"Customer" or "Customer or expert" in the column

"To be carried out by" can be carried out by any trained

adult. Instruction may be provided by the heating

technician or our customer service.

Steps that are marked with "Expert" only can only be

carried out by the heating technician or our customer

service.

Operation only by trained personnel

The product may be operated by trained adults only.

Training may be provided by the heating technician or

our customer service. Please read the associated doc-

umentation carefully in order to avoid errors during

operation and maintenance.

Persons who lack experience and knowledge as well

as children may not operate, clean, or maintain the

product.

Display maintenance steps on the screen

With this boiler, the maintenance steps can also be

displayed on the ETAtouch control system screen. The

required activities will be explained to you step-by-step

and supplemented with detailed graphics. Each

maintenance is saved and the details can be viewed at

any time. So you can maintain a long-term overview of

the maintenance carried out. Of course, the

maintenance can also be carried out using the service

guide, without the support of the ETAtouch control

system.

To access maintenance, switch to settings in the boiler

function block ( [Settings] button) and then select

the function [Maintenance].

Fig. 2-1: Overview (example)

You can also access this overview by pressing

the maintenance switch. Also when the message

appears that maintenance of the boiler is required.

In the overview the different maintenance intervals are

listed in the upper area. This includes the maintenance

already carried out. With the button, information

about the selected maintenance is displayed.

Maintenance that you can carry out as an end

customer is labelled with the symbol. All others are

reserved for specialists and require authorisation.

Press the button to start the maintenance. The

individual steps are displayed on the screen. You can

switch to the next or the previous screen respectively

with the arrow keys on the left and right side of the

screen.

Fig. 2-2: Maintenance step (example)

Cleaning and maintenance Maintenance notes

Follow the on-screen instructions and carry out all

steps carefully. Enter your name at the end of

maintenance ( button) and save the maintenance

with the button.

Fig. 2-3: End of maintenance

To end maintenance prematurely, press the right

arrow key several times until you get to the end.

There you can end the maintenance with the

button. Cancellation during a maintenance step is not

possible.

Explanation of the maintenance switch

The maintenance switch on the boiler is needed for

performing maintenance with the aid of the [Main-

tenance] function in the ETAtouch control system. This

displays the individual maintenance steps on the boiler

screen.

With this variant the heating mode is stopped, but

the boiler remains on at the mains switch. So that

all drives are disconnected, the safety chain of the

boiler is disrupted with the maintenance switch. The

screen will display a message when it is time to actuate

the maintenance switch.

Fig. 2-4: Maintenance switch

The maintenance switch is marked with the

symbol and has two settings.

• "1" = regular operation

This is the standard position of the maintenance

switch. The boiler can execute heating mode in this

position.

• "0" = maintenance mode

In this position, all drives are disconnected to

perform maintenance. The circuit boards,

however, are still live.

Explanation of pictograms

Switch the boiler on/off with the mains

switch.

Perform a visual check of the components.

Clean the components with a soft cloth, for

example.

Remove deposits with a vacuum cleaner or

an ash vacuum.

Remove deposits with the poker.

Remove deposits with the cleaning brush.

Replace the wear parts (e.g., seals) with new

items.

Lubricate the components. The lubricant to

use is listed in the respective step.

Mount the components (e.g., screws or nuts)

by hand only, without tools.

Install the components with some force (e.g.,

the retaining tube or the Lambda probe).

Handle the components carefully, since they

break very easily.

Measure or check dimensions or clearances

on the components.

Mark the components so that the correct

position can be found, for example, when

mounting.

Wear a protective mask to avoid injuries to

the airways.

Cleaning and maintenance Regular maintenance

2.4 Regular maintenance

2.4.1 Preparation

Stop heating

End the boiler's heating mode with the On/Off switch

in the boiler overview window. The boiler

performs an ember burnout and then changes to

[Switched off] mode. Press the [De-ash] button to

make the boiler perform a final de-ashing.

2.4.2 Empty the ash box

Empty the ash box and inspect the seals

By knocking on the vertical wall of the ash box,

you can also check the ash level without opening

the box. A full ash box makes a short, dull thump.

When empty it makes a hollower sound like a drum.

To empty the ash box, fold the locking lever forwards

on the boiler. Remove the ash box from the boiler.

Fig. 2-5: Locking lever

Close the flap on the ash box.

Fig. 2-6: Flap

The ash box can be lifted on the bottom with a

handcart and transported.

Open the latch on the lid and empty the ash box.

Fig. 2-7: Lid

Check the ash for embers. Never put hot ash into

the waste bin!

If there are large pieces of slag in the ash, the

combustion chamber and the tilting grate must be

checked and the de-ashing interval reduced, if

necessary.

14 www.eta.co.at

Regular maintenance Cleaning and maintenance

Inspect the seal on the ash box lid to ensure it is in

good order, and replace it if necessary.

Fig. 2-8: Seal

Inspect the ash box seals on the boiler to ensure they

are in good order; replace them if necessary.

Fig. 2-9: Seal

Attaching the ash box to the boiler

Open the flap on the ash box.

Push the ash box over the connection on the boiler and

attach it to the boiler with the locking lever.

2.4.3 Check pressure of the heating

system

Check the heating system water pressure

In buildings with up to three storeys, the optimum

water pressure in a cold heating system is between 1

and 2 bar. For a warm heating system, the optimum

water pressure is between 1.5 and 2.5 bar.

Fig. 2-10: Pressure gauge

If the water pressure is too low, fill the cold

heating system to approx. 2 bar. Do not fill to a

higher pressure, as water expands with increasing

temperature and the water pressure also rises when

the boiler is in heating mode. The safety valve triggers

at approx. 2.8 bar.

If the water pressure drops several times a year,

contact a heating professional. When refilling

water in the heating system, the same water as used

during initial filling should be used whenever possible

(e.g., prepared water).

Cleaning and maintenance Regular maintenance

2.5.1 Preparation

Stop heating

End the boiler's heating mode with the On/Off switch

in the boiler overview window. The boiler

performs an ember burnout and then changes to

[Switched off] mode. Press the [De-ash] button to

make the boiler perform a final de-ashing.

WARNING!

Switch off the electricity to the boiler via the mains

switch

 Switch off the electricity to the boiler via the mains

switch. This prevents injuries caused by switching

the boiler on inadvertently.

WARNING!

Burns caused by hot parts

Risk of burning on parts located behind the

boiler housing, even after shutting the boiler

down.

Allow the boiler to cool down sufficiently

before starting any activities.

2.5.2 Check safety devices

Checking the safety valves

Perform a visual check of all safety valves of the

heating system. The outlets of the safety valves may

not drip.

Fig. 2-11: Safety valve

If the safety valve drips, open it with a quarter turn of

the red cap and rinse it out (danger of scalding). If the

safety valve still cannot be sealed effectively after

being rinsed several times, it must be cleaned or

replaced by an installer (heating technician).

A manual check of the safety valve is carried out

with a 1/4 turn of the red cap. This rinses the

safety valve. However it is very likely that the seal will

be damaged in the process and thus the outlet will drip.

That is why you should only perform this check on

weekdays and never on weekends in cold winter, as no

heating technician may be available if the seal is

defective.

Check function of safety devices in fuel path

Check the safety devices in the fuel path, such as the

temperature-monitoring system, the manually

operated extinguishing system or the automatic extin-

guishing system.

Also check malfunction indicators and alarms, for

example if messages from the boiler room are

displayed elsewhere.

Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning (customer)

2.5.3 Chimney

Clean the flue tube

Sweep the flue tube from the flue outlet to the chimney

and remove flue ash from the chimney using a vacuum

cleaner.

Fig. 2-12: Flue tube

Sweep the ash into the chimney, not into the

boiler. Otherwise, ash will collect in the

fan housing and can block the draught fan.

Rinse the chimney's condensate drain

Check the chimney's condensate drain to make sure it

is free, as ash can block the outlet. To check, rinse the

outlet with some water.

Fig. 2-13: Condensate drain

2.5.4 Cleaning the combustion chamber

Clean inside of the secondary combustion

chamber

Open the combustion chamber door and scrape all of

the ash from the inside of the secondary combustion

chamber with the poker. Also remove the flue ash from

the top of the heat exchanger, for example, with an ash

vacuum.
