These four individual parts form thecompact thermal module component.H Danger!Danger of burning or scalding!There is danger of being burned or scalded atthe compact thermal module and at all water-carrying components. Only carry out work onthese components once they have cooled down.To dismount the compact thermal module proceed asfollows:• Turn off the boiler by the main switch.• Isolate the boiler from the electrical mains.• Cut off the gas supply to the boiler.• Remove the front casing of the boiler.• Swing off the electronic box.123Fig. 8.2 Removing air intake pipe• Remove the screw (2) and remove the air intake pipe(1) from the intake stub.• Disconnect the gas supply line (3) at the gas valve. Toprevent the corrugated gas pipe from twisting whenloosening the cap nut, hold up the pipe at the spannerflat.8 Inspection and maintenance
