Put a towel over electrics, put a square shaped container over the buners, pour water through heat exchanger fins and watch the ****te that comes out, saves all that rodding through every little fin and breathing the bloddy dust in.
All gas appliances have to have the manufacturers instruction left at the site in there is the correct way to service that particular model as recommended by the manufacturer, but apart from cleaning its basically check that all settings are correct and that all safety devices work and all regs are met.
its what you sit assesments for instead of dabbling
I am sure somebody ( might have been ChrisR) posted a list of the items that they check when carrying out a Full services in earlier post
Webmaster - why was this checklist removed ?
ChrisR – if it was you posted the list, can you please repost it

I didn't post a list, but mine gos:
1 Prelim. electrical checks, fuse rating and earth continuity
2 Visual inspection of appliance, clearances, suitable materials, any signs of damage etc.
3 correct operation
4 burner pressure, flame supervision device and initial exhaust emissions test
5 remove case and visually check the seal
6 vacuum and brush out burner, heat exchanger and pilot and check for any water leaks
7 Bit of fan spray in the bearings
8 reassemble, fire up, check gas tightness of disturbed joints, check case seal tight, check flame picture
9 check the operation again, emissions test again and run prelim. electrical checks again
This is just for an annual service on a fan flued, electronic ignition, room sealed combi......insert tea and biscuits between 1 and 5

I don't think I posted a list. There are forms you can buy from corgi etc with a pretty full list on.
'ski's number 3 covers a multitude - how far do go into checking say an overheat stat works before the thing boils, or that a pressure relief valve works at 3 bar (after which it'll probably leak!).
Every 3 years or so it would be good to clean the fan, and check/ recharge the pressure vessel.
Some people change thermocouples every year, others argue against it.
