Combustion figures

FigureNatural gas (G20)
CO₂ at high rate
More infoHide infoFrom setting the gas valve (MI 10.3.13), in chimney sweep mode at maximum rate. There must always be a difference of 0.4% between the maximum and minimum CO₂ readings.
9.3% ±0.1%
CO₂ at low rate
More infoHide infoFrom setting the gas valve (MI 10.3.13), in chimney sweep mode at minimum rate.
8.9% ±0.1%
Maximum CO
More infoHide infoChecked at both maximum and minimum rate in the commissioning combustion check (MI 7.4.2).
< 350 ppm
CO/CO₂ ratio
More infoHide infoCommissioning (MI 7.4.2) and servicing (MI 10.1, 10.3.13) say less than 0.004. Technical data (MI 3.1) says up to a maximum of 0.004.
