2. Water-side maintenance
3. Gas-side maintenance
4. Finalising maintenance

Note
Before ordering spare parts, it is important to write down the appliance type 

and model, and the full serial number of the appliance. These details can be 
found on the rating plate. Only by ordering with this information can you be sure 
to receive the correct spare parts.

correctly.
