Thanks "oilman" as I said yesterday, I will have a look inside the furnace tomorrow for soot. This boiler was really getting on my nerves but is working great with the settings as I have described. I did suspect the Max 4 was a bit temperamental, (more mental than tempered). I will double check...

Thanks for getting in touch Boilerman2, the boiler has a Max 4 burner with Satronic and MZ177S p.e. cell. I only rotate it 20 degrees but I did notice that with the burner removed from the boiler and viewed from the firing end, the cell is obscured by the diffuser plate at the back of the...
