Maintenance Operations; Emptying Out The Boiler - Comet DSG-8 EX Bedienungsanleitung

MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS

EMPTYING OUT THE BOILER

The stainless steel boiler presents specifications
which enable its use with normal water. As a rule,
once a week, or if the machine is not being opera-
ted, empty out the boiler using the special tap B.
It is very important to clean the hoses and boiler
thoroughly to prevent lime from forming.
To eliminate this problem, please follow these fun-
damental instructions:
- never leave the machine switched when not in
use. Switch off the machine main switch when it
is not in use.
If there is a considerable quantity of lime formation,
use a specific descaling product for lime elimina-
tion, or a mixture of vinegar and water, procee-
ding as follows:
- wait till the machine has cooled down comple-
tely.
- open the discharge cock(8) to empty the boiler.
- pour a mixture of water and vinegar, or a specific
descaling product into the water reserve tank.
- fill the boiler.
- when specific descaling products are used, leave
the product to act for at least 3 hours.
When using vinegar and water, leave it for 12 hours.
Once sufficient time has passed for the products to
remove the lime, proceed as follows:
- power on the machine and then switch it off
when the gauge shows a pressure reading of 0.5
- 1 bar; this will create an internal pressure in the
boiler, sufficient to allow water and limescale to
be removed.
- open the discharge cock (8) to allow the contents
of the boiler to be removed.
If there is still a certain quantity of lime present repe-
at the operation until the discharged water is free
of lime deposits.
N.B: during the boiler cleaning operation, avoid
letting out steam from the pistol.
8
- Once the operation has been completed, close
the cock (8) carefully.
- Adequate and suitable maintenance operations
are a deciding factor for long machine life, correct
working conditions, top performance, and to en-
sure that all the safety systems provided by the
manufacturer function correctly.
- Maintenance, repairs and replacement opera-
tions must be performed by qualified technicians
familiar with the machine technology.
