What maintenance is included in an annual Riello burner service?

An annual service should include checking and replacing the nozzle, cleaning the photocell and electrodes, inspecting the combustion head, checking pump pressure, replacing the oil filter, and performing a combustion analysis.

How often should the photocell be cleaned on a Riello burner?

The photocell should be cleaned as part of the annual service by an OFTEC registered heating technician. Always isolate the electrical supply before accessing any internal components. If the viewing window becomes dirty or obscured by soot between services, contact a qualified technician rather than attempting to clean it yourself.

What should I check if my Riello oil burner keeps locking out?

Repeated lockouts typically indicate one of four issues: fuel starvation (check oil level and filters), a faulty solenoid valve, a dirty photocell, or a control box fault. If lockouts occur after a few days of normal running, fuel supply problems are most likely. If they occur 10-15 minutes after ignition, the solenoid may be failing when hot. Contact an OFTEC registered heating technician for diagnosis.

What oil pump pressure should a Riello burner be set to?

Riello light oil burners are typically set to 12 bar (approximately 174 PSI). The standard setting can be varied by +2 bar depending on specific requirements.
