✅ OIL BOILER MAINTENANCE FOR WINTER When maintaining an oil boiler, the first thing we highlight is that it is regulated by law.

✅ Requiring the user to have it carried out annually by a professional boiler installer.

✅ Thus, the installer is responsible for its inspection and tuning in the event of possible problems arising from poor cleaning.

✅ The operation of an oil boiler must be kept in perfect condition.

✅ Therefore, annual maintenance must be carried out to make sure that our oil boiler installation is safe.

✅ We are expert oil boiler installers and we want to offer you a short guide on how to keep our oil boilers in perfect condition.

✅ Oil boiler maintenance must be carried out by a professional in the months before winter.

✅ This process will consist of several steps: 1.

✅ CLEANING, ADJUSTING AND CHECKING THE BURNER When cleaning a boiler burner we must remove the front cover of the boiler and make sure it remains switched off.

✅ It is important that we unplug our oil boiler installation before carrying out our task.

✅ If our burner is very dirty, this will indicate poor adjustment of it and incorrect combustion.

✅ If the burner is properly adjusted, the soot we find here will be minimal.

✅ We will loosen the burner screws without unscrewing them completely, exposing the stabiliser disc, the ignition electrodes and the injector nozzle.

✅ To clean this section we can use special boiler cleaning products (for soot).

✅ Simply, taking great care, we can remove the grease with a cloth. 2.

✅ CLEANING THE INJECTOR NOZZLE Next, we will remove the stabiliser disc and the power connectors to the electrodes that produce the spark.

✅ We will clean the injector nozzle, which is responsible for spraying the diesel.

✅ It is important to check this element carefully, since at the first sign of malfunction we must replace it to protect our boiler.

✅ We will remove the electrodes to make cleaning easier and then fine-tune their position.

✅ It is necessary to consult the burner manual for the distance between the nozzle and the stabiliser disc.

✅ We will clean the photocell that monitors the presence of the flame and finish reassembling all the burner elements in place. 3.

✅ CHECK THE DIESEL BOILER IS WORKING CORRECTLY Finally, we will test the operation of the diesel boiler.

✅ If the burner manages to produce a flame but it goes out shortly afterwards, it may indicate that the photocell is misaligned with the stabiliser disc or is still dirty.

✅ Although at Instalfrica we like to tell you about our diesel boiler maintenance process, we must remember that it should be carried out by a professional who can ensure the quality of the installation.

✅ Other checks to carry out in this process are: checking the operation of the pump and the boiler thermostats.

✅ Fine-tuning of the control and safety devices, including cleaning the diesel filters to prevent the build-up of impurities.

✅ Checking the fuel flow rate of a diesel boiler.

✅ Measuring and adjusting the water flow rate.

✅ Checking the tightness of the fuel installations: including inspection of the boiler flame, the draught level, the ventilation systems and any leaks they may cause.

✅ DIESEL BOILER INSPECTION Once our annual diesel boiler maintenance has been carried out, we can do a monthly check ourselves to improve the performance of our diesel boiler.

✅ There are some adjustments that extend the service life of boilers that we would like you to keep in mind: Setting the diesel boiler thermostat to 70º is the best way to ensure our boiler works properly Changing the injector nozzle will ensure the diesel mixture does not become unstable because the outlet orifice widens with use of this equipment.

✅ Do not leave the boiler at the minimum fuel level, so that impurities from the bottom do not get into the burner and clog the filters and the diesel passage.

✅ Switch the boiler off one hour before filling it with fuel and switch it on again one hour afterwards so that impurities settle at the bottom, avoiding blockages.

✅ Use good-quality diesel, since the poorer it is, the more impurities we will find in our diesel boiler when cleaning it.

✅ Clean the inside of the boiler frequently to reduce the need for maintenance.

✅ Proper boiler maintenance will extend its service life, ensuring perfect performance and saving us large amounts of money on the diesel bill.

✅ Cleaning the boiler helps it consume less fuel and produce fewer gas emissions.

✅ It should also be said that a properly maintained boiler avoids costly breakdowns and replacement of parts.
