MAINTENANCE MANUAL
FILTERING CARTRIDGE CLEANING:
The cartridge can be cleaned periodically by unscrewing the bowl and the cap with magnet holder.
Before cleaning the FDM-3 filter, it is recommended for the boiler to be turned off and for the FDM-
3 filter to be allowed to cool down to room temperature before starting any maintenance
intervention, in order to avoid damages and burns. Close the supply ball valve.
Carefully unscrew the lower discharge cap, remove the magnet and magnet holder and allow the
water to flow out (image 1).
NOTE: collect the water flowing out of the filter in a suitably sized container.
- Once the water flow has been interrupted, unscrew the bowl.
- Wash the magnet-holder with water, removing the impurities completely
- Check that the seal o-ring is intact; replace with a new one if needed.
- Remove the metal filtering mesh and washing it to remove any impurities collected on its surface.
Re-assemble the filter:
- Put the cartridge into its housing in the bowl.
- Tighten the bowl.
- Insert the magnet into the magnet holder.
- Put the magnet holder (containing the magnet) into its housing on the bottom of the bowl and
screw the lower discharge cap back on.
Slowly open the supply valve to verify presence of leaks before putting into service.
NOTE: it is recommended to carry out maintenance and cleaning at least twice a year.
For the first installation, the first cleaning should be carried out after a month.
