Shipment
Water Connection
The A1 is delivered on a disposable pallet. All

industrial vehicles, such as elevating trucks
and fork-lifts, are suitable for shipment. The
boiler must not be lifted or pushed by the
casing. Use the 2 straps on either side of the
package to lift the boiler and pallet.
On the back of the A1 are two connections

with 1 1/4 " male bzw. 1 " female (return see
pos. 1, flow see pos. 2 in fig. 1.2). The A1
uses the same flow and return for the heating
circuit and the storage tank.
Delivery Condition
ROTEX A1 BGi boilers are already completely
assembled upon delivery. The output of the
boilers modulates within a range of 5-25 kW
with the A1 BG 25i and 8-40 kW with the A1
BG 40i (see the chapter "The Control
System" for more information). All connections are accessible without removal of the
casing.
Installation
Remove the packaging from the boiler and
position the boiler in the spot where it is to be
installed. The measurements may be taken
from figures 1.1 and 1.2. Connection pipes
must be fitted in such a way that the A1 can
be opened completely. The boiler must be in a
fully horizontal position. Irregularities in the
floor can be corrected by applying adjustable
feet to the boiler. Necessary tool: mid-sized
screwdriver
To connect the heating circuit and hot

water storage tank (e.g. ROTEX SANICUBE or US 150), the included connection
set (T-piece and reversing valve) must be
assembled.
A 380 mm base can be ordered, order no.

Low-water Safety Device
Tests have shown that the overheating safety
device on the ROTEX A1 BGi shuts off and
locks the burner even when the water level is
low. The low-water safety device required of
manufacturers in DIN 4751-2, Feb. 1993 edition, is thus not needed
Do not fill the heating system until all installation work is finished. The filling and emptying
fitting (KFE spigot, pos. 3 in fig. 1.2) is on the
back of the boiler on the right side and includes a manometer. Connect a 1/2" hose to the
fitting and secure the hose against slipping
with a hose clamp. Turn the fitting of the boiler
on (KFE spigot, pos. 3 in fig. 1.2) and begin filling the unit with water until the manometer
reading shows that there is approximately 1.5 (
1.5 of what ??????bar atmospheres????)of
excess pressure in the unit (green area). Take
care that no boiler water flows back into the
drinking water pipes. After completion of the
filling, the heating net must be vented out.
Remark: All connections should be checked
for tightness before operating the appliance
for the first time. In order to avoid corrosive
products and deposits, adhere to VDI 2035
regulations. If the water used for filling and
replenishing the boiler has a particularly high
degree of hardness, measures should be taken
to stabilise or soften the water.
Important: The water pressure should be
checked with the manometer (1.5 0.5 bar) at
regular intervals while the installation is in
operation and adjusted by replenishing the
water supply if necessary.
Necessary tool: adjustable spanner.
Place of Installation
The boiler should not be operated in rooms
with aggressive vapours (e.g. hairspray, perchlor-ethylene, carbon tetrachloride), a high amount of dust, or high humidity (e.g. laundry
rooms) unless you have an air purification
system. There must be a ventilation opening of
at least 150 cm2 in the room. Tip: If you use a
concentric air purification system, you can do
without the ventilation opening, and there are
no further conditions on the place of installation.
[5]
Flue Gas and Air Supply Connection

Fundamentals: The company connecting the
flue gas pipe should get in contact with the
chimney sweep responsible for the area. Even
in regions where this is not required by law,
we recommend recording the participation
of the chimney sweep on a written form.
The ROTEX A1 must be connected to the
waste gas mechanism on the storey the unit is
installed on.
The flue gas pipe connection has a diameter of
80 mm and is equipped with special acid-resistant seals. The measurements for this
connection can be taken from fig. 1.3. A minimum distance of 400 mm between the flue
pipe and the boiler is required if the flue gas
pipe is not insulated.
The flue gas must be released in the following

manner:
- by way of chimneys in compliance with
DIN 18160
- by way of vertical flue gas lines with general
building authorization of air waste gas
systems
- by way of free standing chimneys
(see DIN 4133 and DIN 1056)
- by way of exhaust shafts meeting the general
requirements of flue gas mechanisms, in
compliance with DIN 18017 part 1
(see section 6.3.1)
- by way of ventilation units in compliance with
DIN 18017 part 3; this corresponds to the
guidelines established in DVGW worksheet

In principle, the connection is possible on all
flue gas lines suited for type B (allowed up to
120 C) and type C (allowed up to 160 C)
heating operations (not sensitive to humidity,
tested for high pressure). A standard flue gas
STL is integrated. into the control panel for
this purpose. No other built-in safeguard is
necessary. We strongly recommend installing
the accompanying ROTEX flue gas pipe line
made of PP since it is equipped with special
acid-resistant seals. For the construction and
dimensions of the flue gas system, consult the
local building control authority
[6]
c) connection independent of room air with

concentric air-flue gas system (fig. 1.6)
Generally, the A1 BG 25i and A1 BG 40i
condensing boilers can be installed in three
different manners:
They may be operated in a such a way that
they use the air in the installation room as
combustion air (connection dependent on room
air), compare fig. 1.4 and pos. 2 in fig. 1.9. It
is necessary to install permanebtly ventilation
openings with a size of 1 x 150 cm2 or
2 x 75 cm2 in the installation room for this
installation variant (dependent on room air).

the burner must be adapted to operation independent of room air with the ROTEX LAS
connection pipe, order no. 154561
(not included in the standard delivery package). A description of the necessary assembly
steps is included with the LAS connection set.
Remark: The bolier room must contain a ventilation opening with a free cross-section of at
least 150 cm2 for this method of installation.
A concentric air-flue gas system acceptable

for condensing boilers with a diameter of
DN 80/125 is used as the air-flue gas line.
Remarks: We strongly recommend using the
accompanying ROTEX flue gas lines since they
are equipped with special acid-resistant
washers.
The ROTEX LAS gas connection set is needed
for connection; order no. 154560 (not included
in the standard delivery package).

description of the installation variants
displayed in fig. 1.9.
Installation Variant 1
(operation independent of room air).
The chimney or a special shaft allows air to
enter from outside, which is then used as
combustion air. The flue gas is released by
way of a flue gas line ( 80 mm) acceptable for
combustion heating. The line is run up to the
roof through the same shaft used for air
intake. The distance between the point where
the smoke is released into the air and the
ridge of the roof must be at least 40 cm. The
boiler is connected with the LAS connection
set, order no. 15 50 70 (pos. 1 in fig. 1.9).
The flue gas is released as with variant 1, but
the combustion air is taken directly from the
installation room. The installation room must
thus be properly ventilated (ventilation opening: 1 x 150 cm2 or 2 x 75 cm2
(pos. 2 in fig. 1.9).
(operation independent of room air)
The flue gas is released as with variants 1 and
2, but the combustion air is procured by way of
a separate air canal from outside. If the air
canal is led through adjacent rooms, it must be
capable of resisting fire for at least 90 minutes
(pos. 3 in fig. 1.9).

T-piece on the outer pipe (pos. 4 a in fig. 1.9)

or sucked in through the annular gap of the
double pipe above the surface of the roof
(pos. 4 b in fig. 1.9).
The heating boiler is placed directly under the
roof. The combustion air is led in and flue gas
led out by way of a concentric double pipe.
The inner pipe carries flue gas out while the
outer annular gap sucks combustion air in from
outside. There must be a distance of at least
40 cm between the point where the flue gas is
released and the surface of the roof. The
ROTEX LAS connection set, order no.
15 50 70 (pos. 5 in fig. 1.9) is required for this
variant.
This variant is identical to variant 5, except
that the air-flue gas pipe is run through the
timberwork. In this area, the air-flue gas pipe
is either led through a protective pipe with
necessary fire resistance or separated from
the timberwork (pos. 6 in fig. 1.9).
Please observe the guidelines in DIN 4705
when installing the flue gas mechanism.
Remark: The maximum back pressure of the
flue gas is 200 Pa. The flue gas pipe should be
at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees at the point
where it is led into the chimney.
The mass of the flue gas flow is dependent on
the output level the burner has been set to.
Connecting the Condensate Drain
(operation independent of room air)
The heating boiler is connected to a concentric
air-flue gas system with the LAS connection
set, order no. 15 50 70. This concentric pipe
is run through the outer wall, ending at least
40 cm above the surface of the roof. In the outdoor portion of the pipe, the outer air gap serves to insulate the flue gas pipe. The combustion air is taken from outside by way of a
[ 10 ]
A1 BG 40i
The included condensate siphon should be

connected to the condensate pipe. The condensate pipe should be set at an angle which
allows the condensate to flow steadily into the
waste water system. The level of the flow in
the condensate siphon and pipe must lie
below the flue gas pipe at all points along the
line so that there is no danger of the condensate clogging up the flue gas pipe.
Connecting the Temperature Sensor

The boiler features a weather sensitive regulation of the flow temperature. To use this function, it is necessary to connect an outdoor
temperature sensor. If you are also using a
hot water storage tank, you will also need a
domestic water temperature sensor (storage
tank sensor). The outside sensor should be
attached on the coolest side of the house
(north or north-east) at about a third of the
height of the house (2 meter minimum
distance from the ground). Do not attach
the sensor near heat sources (chimneys, hot
air from ventilation shafts, exposure to the
sun, etc.) as this may have an effect on the
readings. The cable outlet should be always
be directed towards the ground so that moisture cannot soak into it. For the electrical
installation, a twin-core cable with a minimal
sectional area of 1 mm 2 is prescribed. The
resistance of the sensor is 2000 at 25C
(PTC resistance).
Remark: The sensor lines should always be
installed separately. A parallel installation of
the sensor and the net pipe within one installation is not allowed and can result in considerable malfunctioning of the controls. To
ensure fault-free operation and to avoid damaging the control system, use only the sensors
included in the package. 1 outside sensor, 1
storage tank sensor, and 1 boiler sensor are
installed in the controls as standard equipment. If you do not plan to install a hot water
storage tank, you may request that your boiler
be delivered without the storage tank sensor.
Procedure: Turn off the main switch of the
boiler and unplug the storage tank sensor.
Open the service lid and press the blue button
while turning on the main switch. Hold down
the blue button for approximately 4
seconds until SET appears on the display.
The current sensor configuration is now set
(for detailed information see the chapter The
Control System).
The Pumps

The ROTEX A1 BG 25i and A1 BG 40i are designed to be used with 240 Volt 50 Hz alternating voltage. Before connecting the boiler,
make sure that the supply voltage corresponds to the main voltage stated above.
In order to avoid confusion between the power
supply and sensor connections, they differ in
colour and shape (fig. 1.14). The electrical
installation of the boiler is completed in the
factory. Changes to the electrical installation are dangerous and should not be performed under any conditions. The connection
to the main supply may only be performed by
authorised specialists working in compliance
with VDI regulations DIN 57 116 and the
regulations of your energy provider.

Initial Operation
Testing the Safety Temperature Limiter

(STL)
After the connection work has been completed, the A1 is ready for operation and may be
put into operation by trained personnel. Before
putting the boiler into operation for the first
time, you should check the checklist at the
end of the chapter Set-up and Installation
carefully. When all questions on this checklist
can be answered with yes, the pre-adjusted
burner may be put into operation temporarily.
The switch mode of operation on the control
panel must be set to manual (pos. 1, fig.
1.15). Now the unit may be put into operation
by turning on the main switch. The boiler
temperature regulator (pos. 2, fig. 1.15)
should be in the central position (vertical
upwards) for the test.
To test the STL, switch the operation mode

selection switch to stand-by and hold down
the TV button until the STL starts and the
burner stops (fig. 1.16; be careful, as the
boiler chassis becomes extremely hot).
After a successful test, the STL must be
unlocked manually after the boiler cools down
(fig. 1.17).

The Parameters of the Control System

The steepness of the heating curve must be
adjusted to match the existing heating installation by a specialist. No further parameters
need be adjusted in most cases.
Displaying and Adjusting the Parameters
There are three setting levels:
1. parameters for heating specialists
(to display: hold the blue and yellow buttons
down for about 5 sec.)
2. time (to display: hold down the yellow
button for about 5 sec.)
3. on/off times (to display: hold down the blue
button for about 5 sec.)
What all adjustments have in common is that
they may all be selected with the yellow button (pos. 5 in fig. 3.1) and adjusted with the
blue button (pos. 6 in fig. 2.1). Every subsequent time the blue button is pressed, the
value of the selected parameter is raised.
When the maximum value is reached, the
parameter automatically returns to the minimum value. After you have finished programming, the standard display appears automatically and the newly programmed data are
stored:
Factory Settings
Steepness of the Heating Curve
Steepness of the Heating Curve for

a Mixer Circuit
Parameter 1
range of adjustment: 0.2 3.5;
factory setting: 1.5
The heating curve describes the functional
dependency of the flow temperature on the
outdoor temperature. Since the ROTEX A1 can
be operated without a mixer with a variable
boiler temperature which may reach as low as
room temperature, the boiler temperature corresponds to the flow temperature. The heating
curve must be adjusted to the existing heating
system. Select the heating curve in such a way
that the temperature of the boiler corresponds
to the set temperature of the heating system
when the outdoor temperature is a minimum.
To set the correct heating curve you need only
enter the steepness of the heating curve. The
heating curve may be taken from the diagram
fig. 3.2.
Parameter 2 (not active if the mixer circuit is not activated!)

range of adjustment: 0.20 3.50;
factory setting: 0.70
Remark: Because of the inertia of the heating
system, there is a long interval before the
effects of a change in the steepness of the
heating curve can be detected. When adjusting the heating curve, you should thus proceed only in very small steps (0.1 per day).
During the adjustment period, the room control
and the thermostat valves should be almost
completely opened and all other sources of
heat should be shut off. It is advisable to carry
out the adjustment in operation mode . In
this way, the adjustment period will not be
disturbed by intervals of low operation.
for a rough estimation:

floor heating: steepness of the heating curve
= 0.7 1.0;
radiator and system 70 (floor heating):
steepness of the heating curve = 1.4 1.6; if
you have temperature control in individual
rooms, it is recommended to set the heating
curve 0.2 higher.

parameter.
2. automatically 30 seconds after you press
a button.
steepness of heating curve
To enter the heating specialist mode, both

buttons (yellow and blue) must be held
down for about 5 seconds. The heating specialist mode includes 14 pre-programmed
parameters as well as a reset, an operating
hour counter, a burner start counter, and a hot
water mode. Every A1 BG inline oil burner is
equipped for the installation of a mixer for an
additional mixer circuit. You can activate it by
connecting and activating the mixer sensor
(see the chapter Temperature Sensors).

Hot Water Set Value

Parameter 3
range of adjustment: 20 60 C;
factory setting: 50 C
The hot water set value indicates the highest
temperature at which the boiler may refill the
hot water tank at the pre-programmed times
(switch to storage tank filling). The filling
begins at a storage tank temperature of 5 K
under the hot water set value chosen. The
3-way mixing valve switches back for 3 minutes in order to use the remaining heat of the
boiler.
b. ECO Operation
During pre-programmed night set back operation intervals the heating system (pump and
burner) are turned off as long as the outdoor
temperature remains above the anti-frost limit
of 3C. If the outdoor temperature sinks below
the anti-frost limit, the unit switches to low
operation automatically. The heating circuit
pump shuts off for three minutes in order to
avoid an overheating of the boiler and to make
use of the remaining heat. The anti-frost protection remains operational during eco operation.
Used for: a building with a low level of heat
loss
Legionella Protection
Summer Shut-off
Parameter 4
range of adjustment: 1 - 7,
factory setting: OFF
The legionella protection turns on one time a
week on the programmed day (1-7) between
21:00 and 02:00 oclock unless it is set to OFF.
If the temperature of the storage tank is below
60C at this time, it is heated up to 65C.
Reduced Operation
Parameter 5
range of adjustment: low; eco
factory setting: night set back
During reduced operation you can choose
between low operation and eco operation.
a. Night Set Back Operation
The heating circuit pump remains in operation
during the pre-programmed low operation
interval. The flow temperature is adjusted to
correspond to the pre-programmed low temperature (pos. 3 in fig. 3.1).
Used for: a building with a high level of heat
loss
Parameter 6
range of adjustment: 10 30 C;
The summer shut-off shuts off the entire heating operation during summer operation. The
hot water processor remains operational
according to the time programme. The summer
shut-off operates according to two separate
criteria:
a. Quick Shut-off (in the case of a rapid
rise in temperature): The summer shut-off
activates if the actual outdoor temperature
rises 2 K above the set value.
b. Average Temperature Shut-off (in the
case of a slow rise in temperature): The
summer shut-off activates if the actual and
average outdoor temperature reach the set
value. The shut-off (a. and b.) is cancelled
when the actual and average temperature fall
1 K below the set value.
Maximum Boiler Temperature

Parameter 7
range of adjustment: 70 85 C,
In keeping with heating system regulations,
the control system is equipped with a electronically controlled maximum boiler temperature
limiter. The boiler shuts off when the maximum temperature is reached. The burner starts
again when the boiler temperature falls 7.5 K
below the maximum temperature.
Mixer Minimum Temperature
Parameter 8 (not functional if the mixer
circuit is not activated !)
range of adjustment: 10 85C,
factory setting: 20C
The set temperature is the minimum temperature of the mixer circuit, below which it will
not sink.
Mixer Maximum Temperature
Parameter 9 (not functional if the mixer
circuit is not activated !)
range of adjustment: 10 85C,
factory setting: 70C
The set temperature is the maximum temperature of the mixer circuit, above which it will
not rise.
Summer-Winter-Time Switch

Minimum Modulation Output
Operation Hour Counter
Parameter 12
range of adjustment: 20-50%,
factory setting: 30%
The minimum output of the range of modulation can be entered in % of rated output.
(example: 20% corresponds to 5kW).
Parameter 15
starting value 0000 h, range 0000 - 19999 h
This parameter counts the hours the boiler has
been in operation. You can set the operation
hour counter back to 0000 by holding down the
blue button for about 5 seconds. It is advisable
to reset the counter after every maintenance
check.
Maximum Modulation Output

Parameter 13

Parameter 14
range of adjustment: CL, SET
factory setting: CL
When the blue button is held down for about 5
seconds, all changeable parameters on this
mode are set back to the factory setting. The
following appears on the display:
Burner Start Counter

Parameter 16
starting value 0000, range 0000 - 19999
This parameter counts the amount of burner
starts. When the blue button is held down for
about 5 seconds, the burner start counter is
set back to 0000. It is advisable to reset the
counter after every maintenance check.
Type of Operation
Parameter 17
range of adjustment: 3U / LP,
factory setting: 3U
This parameter indicates the type of operation
for the domestic water installation. When set
to LP, the storage tank loading is overtaken by
an extra storage tank load pump. The setting
3U (factory setting) effects a switch between
heating operation and storage loading by way
of a 3 way diverter valve.
Leaving the Heating Specialist Mode
To leave the heating specialist mode, press the
yellow button again briefly after parameter
11 or wait 30 seconds.

Summary
Limiting the Maximum Burner Output
Adjusting the Burner and Type of Gas
The gas surface burner of the ROTEX A1 BG

Inline modulates between 5-25 kW (A1 BG 25i)
or 8-40 kW (A1 BG 40i). It runs quietly, is resistant to wear, and emits only an extremely low
amount of pollutants. The burner is constructed in a modular manner. It consists of the following components:
- burner surface (pos. 1 in fig. I4.1)
- unaflow blowing engine without collectors
(pos. 2 in fig. 4.1)
- Venturi mixing tube (pos. 8 in fig. 4.1)
- safety gas regulating device (pos. 3 in fig.
4.3) with integrated gas filter and electrovalves
- firing device with integrated ignition (pos. 6
in fig. 4.1)
- burner flange (pos. 12 in fig. 4.1)
- electrode group with ignition electrodes and
ionisation electrodes (pos. 13/14 in fig. 4.3)
The maximum burner output can be limited

from the control panel by way of a simple
parameter adjustment (see parameter 10 of
the heating specialist mode, p. 16). This can
become necessary if, for example, you need to
limit the flue gas temperature.
The integrated flue gas STL limits the maximum flue gas temperature of the ROTEX A1
BG Inline to 120 C. If you affect this value by
setting a limit in parameter 10 of the heating
specialist mode, the modified maximum flue
gas temperature may be found on tables
4.5 and 4.6.
The burner is adjusted at the factory for use

with the type of gas supplied by your energy
provider (see adjustment sticker). After a
successful trial run of the unit, the burner must
be adjusted to approx. 9.8 % CO2. This should
be done in chimney sweep operation mode
with the help of a waste gas measuring
device. With the burner running and the boiler
warmed up, use the gas fitting screw (pos. 11
in fig. 4.3) to adjust the amount of excess air.
counter-clockwise: more gas (fatter)
clockwise: less gas (leaner)
(Follow the same procedure when switching to
LL natural gas.)
Limiting the Minimum Burner Output

The minimum burner output can be limited
from the control panel by way of a simple
parameter adjustment (see parameter 9 of the
heating specialist mode, p. 16).
Resetting the Burner

Integrated Gas/Air Regulating Device
A fault shutdown of the burner is indicated by
the control light on the boiler control panel
(pos. 5 in fig. 2.1).
You can unlock the burner by pressing the fault
override button on the control panel briefly
(pos. 14 in fig. 2.1).
Burner Output
The computer control system integrated into
the control panel uses operating data from the
boiler (sensor temperatures, set operating
parameters, and set values) to calculate the
necessary burner output level. The control
system converts this information into a signal
the burner blowing engine can understand and
then passes it on to the engine.
The burner blowing engine reacts by adjusting
the speed of the blower and thus of the flow
of combustion air. The gas regulating device
regulates the amount of gas accordingly, thus
assuring a constant amount of excess air (air
variable I) in the entire unit (see the description of the integrated gas/air controlling
device).
The integrated gas/air regulating device of the

ROTEX A1 BG Inline consists of a Venturi tube
with a ring-shaped gas intake and a gas pressure regulator.
The gas/air regulating device serves to make
sure that air variable I, the value set at the air
fitting screw (pos. 11 in fig. 4.2), is held at a
constant value regardless of burner output.
The control system compensates for fluctuations in gas pressure of 5-55 mbar (zero pressure regulator). Depending on the flow volume
of the combustion air, a corresponding ventilating pressure is created in the centre of the
Venturi tube (pos. 8 in fig. 4.3). In this way
the gas, which is not pressurized due to the
gas/air regulating device (zero pressure regulator) (pos. 4 in fig. 4.3), is sucked into the
centre of the Venturi tube and brought to the
burner surface and mixed optimally by the burner blowing engine (pos. 2 in fig. 4.1).
This combination causes the burner to react
immediately to any change in air flow volume
by changing the flow volume of the gas.

Chapter 6: Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance and cleaning of the heater lowers energy consumption and guarantees
the long life and fault-free operation of the
unit. For this reason, heating system regulations require that the unit be serviced by a specialist at least once a year. To assure regular
maintenance, it is advisable to sign a service contract.
It is sensible to have the unit serviced either
directly before or after the heating period. The
following pages provide information as to
which tasks should be performed. At the end
of the chapter there is also a checklist which
can be used to detect faults and their solutions
in case the boiler ceases to function unexpectedly.
Removing the Insulation Mould Parts

The insulation mould parts are fixed to the burner with twelve open mouthed connecting
blocks. For maintenance purposes, it is enough
to remove the two upper parts of the mould. In
order to do this, press the relevant connecting
blocks together with their chromium-plated
metal hoops and remove them. After removing
the connecting blocks, you may remove both
upper parts of the mould (fig. 6.2).
fig. 6.3: opening the combustion chamber
Removing the Sound Insulation Cap

fig. 6.4: removing the deflector insert A1 BG 25i
Before the unit can be serviced, it is necessary
to remove the sound insulation cap of the burner. The sound insulation cap sits on the burner panelling and is easy to remove (fig. 6.1).
Removing the Boiler Casing
fig. 6.2: removing the insulation mould parts
The burner panelling is fastened by four mountings, one in each corner. You can remove it by
lifting it up.
Opening the Combustion Chamber

Warning: only when the burner is shut off
and has had time to cool down
To open the combustion chamber, four Allan
screws M8 must be removed (fig. 6.3). The
combustion chamber can only be opened from
the top. An air pressure spring supports the
opening process and holds the upper half of
the burner open during maintenance. The
half-rounded combustion chamber charge with
fire-proof deflector is located in the lower half
of the burner. When cleaning the combustion
chamber, the charge should be removed,
checked for possible damage, and replaced if
needed (fig. 6.4).
Necessary Tool: Allan key SW 8, combustion
chamber key
fig. 6.1: removing the sound insulation cap

[ 30 ]
fig. 6.5: removing the deflector insert A1 BG 40i
Cleaning the Combustion Chamber and

the Burner
Dirt and soot on the fins of the combustion
chamber may simply be swept off with the
included cleaning brush. Fallen dust collects in
the bottom half of the burner where it may be
removed away easily with a vacuum cleaner
(fig. 6.6). The burner need not be removed for
cleaning purposes.
Most Important Steps:

- Make sure the fuel lines are sealed and not
damaged.
- Clean the burner head.
- let the burner run in chimney sweep mode for
about 10 minutes and then analyse the
combustion process according to the following
factors:
1. flue gas temperature in the chimney
(<120C)
2. CO2 content (9.8% 0.2%)
3. CO content (< 50 ppm)
Checking the Connections
Remark: We recommend recording all measured values and all service and maintenance
work, including date and signature, on the
included maintenance form and leaving it in
sight of the chimney sweep.
Cleaning the Boiler Casing
The sound insulation cap and the boiler casing
consist of easy to clean synthetic material.
Only clean them with soft towels and a mild
cleaning solution consisting of water and
soap. Aggressive cleaning solutions with
solvents are not recommended. They may
damage the surface of the panelling.
During service, all connections as well as the

gas and power connection should be checked
for damages and repaired if necessary. If faults
occur in the power supply, an authorised company approved by your energy provider should
be contracted with the removal of the fault.

There are two ROTEX hot water tanks available to choose from for the ROTEX A1 BG Inline
heating boilers. The first is called Sanicube, a
large hygienic tank made entirely out of synthetic material. The other is the US 150, a
space saving tank made of high-grade steel

which fits under the unit. Indications for installing the tanks in the heating system may be
