scaling. This is of a great importance for the
performance of the boiler, and it is easy to do.
Simply remove the flange with the heating
elements and carefully clean them. During this
operation it is important to disconnect the tube
that connects the pump to the boiler, and
clean the joint, where the water enters into the
boiler, of any deposits that may be obstructing
it.
b) Check the various gaskets and gate valves as
continuous heating and cooling can cause
leaks. Should there be leaks, remove the
gaskets and gate valves and replace with new
to prevent further leaks.
c) Clean the water filter fitted to the feed
electrovalve. To do this, remove the sleeve,
remove the filter inside the electrovalve and
clean the latter with compressed air.
d) Disconnect the copper pipes that connect the
gauge and the pressure gauge and clean
them internally to remove any scaling.
e) Remove the probe and carefully clean it of
any sediment or scaling using an emery cloth.
Assuring that the spindle/electrode doesn't
revolve in the sonde support body, otherwise
tighten the superior nut.

replace them.
g) Carry out a visual inspection inside the boiler,
at least once a year, to control the conditions
of the inside walls and the presence of
possible scales and/or corrosions. Carefully
clean the inside of the pipe containing the
probe.
h) Disassemble the safety valve and clean the
joint, on which is assembled, of any scaling.
Also check that the valve is not obstructed.
i)
Clean the air pipe from any impediment (dirty)
that stops the airflow during the ventilation
phase.
j)
Check the wear of the board padding and, if
necessary, substitute it. The board padding is
considered a part of the normal wear and tear
since ironing tends to matt the padding and
decreases
capacities of the board.
