and cleaning) close the heat transfer to the heating
equipment to reach the dew point faster (see boiler control
system User Manual);
• at operating temperature connect the heating equipment in
sequence;
• visually check the system after a few days of operation
(door and access door, fl ue gas tightness);
• check boiler room ventilation;
• check boiler room lighting (suitable for boiler operation
and repair);
• check access to places which require periodical
maintenance (cleanout, control, storage hopper, burner);
• check leak tightness of hydraulic connection between
the boiler and the central heating system;
