Central Heating
Detailed recommendations are given in BS 6798:1987 and BS 5449-1:1990,
the following notes are given for general guidance.
Pipe Work:
Copper tubing to BS EN 1057:1996 is recommended for water pipes. Jointing
should be either with capillary soldered or compression fittings.
Where possible pipes should have a gradient to ensure air is carried naturally
to air release points and water flows naturally to drain taps.
The appliance has a built-in automatic air release valve, however it should be
ensured as far as possible that the appliance heat exchanger is not a natural
collecting point for air.
Except where providing useful heat, pipes should be insulated to prevent heat
loss and avoid freezing.
Particular attention should be paid to pipes passing through ventilated spaces
in roofs and under floors.
By-pass:
The appliance includes an automatic by-pass valve, which protects the main
heat exchanger in case of reduced or interrupted water circulation through
the heating system, due to the closing of thermostatic valves or cock-type
valves within the system.
System Design:
This boiler is suitable only for sealed systems.
Drain Cocks:
These must be located in accessible positions to permit the draining of the
whole system.The taps must be at least 15mm nominal size and
manufactured in accordance with BS 2870:1980.
Safety Valve Discharge:
The discharge should terminate facing downwards on the exterior of the
building in a position where discharging (possibly boiling water & steam) will
not create danger or nuisance, but in an easily visible position, and not cause
damage to electrical components and wiring.
The discharge must not be over an entrance or a window or any other type of

public access.
Air Release Points:
These must be fitted at all high points where air naturally collects and must
be sited to facilitate complete filling of the system.
The appliance has an integral sealed expansion vessel to accommodate the
increase of water value when the system is heated.
It can accept up to 7 l (1.5 gal) of expansion water.If the heating circuit has
an unusually high water content, calculate the total expansion and add an
additional sealed expansion vessel with adequate capacity.
Mains Water Feed - Central Heating:
There must be no direct connection to the mains water supply even through a
non-return valve, without the approval of the Local Water Authority.
Filling:
A temporary method for initially filling the system and replacing lost water
during servicing in accordance with Water Supply Byelaw 14 must be
provided.
DomesticWater
The domestic water must be in accordance with the relevant recommendation
of BS 5546:1990. Copper tubing to BS EN 1057:1996 is recommended for
water carrying pipe work and must be used for pipe work carrying drinking
water.
2.9 Flue Connections
Flue System
The provision for satisfactory flue termination must be made as described
in BS 5440-1.
The appliance must be installed so that the flue terminal is exposed to outdoor air.
The terminal must not discharge into another room or space such as an
outhouse or lean-to.
It is important that the position of the terminal allows a free passage of air
across it at all times.
The terminal should be located with due regard for the damage or
discolouration that might occur on buildings in the vicinity.
In cold or humid weather water vapour may condense on leaving the flue
terminal.
The effect of such "steaming" must be considered.
If the terminal is less than 2 metres above a balcony, above ground or above a
flat roof to which people have access, then a suitable terminal guard must be
fitted.When ordering a terminal guard, quote the appliance model number.
A suitable terminal guard is available from:

3.2 Removing the
Front Panel
A/23 MFFI - A/27 MFFI

To remove the front panel of the casing, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the screw “F” located on the top edge of the panel.
2. Lift and unhook the panel.
system (sect. 3.4) and run it until the temperature has reached the boiler
operating temperature.The system must then be immediately flushed through.
The flushing procedure must be in line with BS 7593:1992 Code of practice for
treatment of water in domestic hot water central heating systems.
During this operation, we highly recommend the use of a central heating
flushing detergent (Fernox Superfloc or equivalent), whose function is to
dissolve any foreign matter that may be in the system.
Substances different from these could create serious problems to the
pump or other components.
The use of an inhibitor in system such as Fernox MB-1 or equivalent is strongly
recommended to prevent corrosion (sludge) damaging the boiler and system.
Failure to carry out this procedure may invalidate the appliance warranty.

3.4 Initial Start-up
The checks to be run before initial start-up are as follows:
1. Make sure that:
-the screw on the automatic air valve has been loosened when the
system is full;
- If the water pressure in the system is below 1 bar, bring it up to the appro-
priate level;
-Check to see whether the gas cock is closed;
-Make sure that the electrical connection has been made properly and that
the earth wire is connected to an efficient earthing system;
- Supply power to the boiler by pressing the On/Off switch <L> - the L.E.D. “I”
will turn on - turn the selector knob “C” to the < winter> setting.This will start
the circulation pump. After 7 seconds, the boiler will signal a shut-
down due to failure ignition. Leave the boiler as it is until all of the air has
been bled from the lines.
-Loosen the cap on the head of the pump to eliminate any air pockets;
-Repeat the procedure for bleeding the radiators of air;
-Open the taps for a brief period;
-Check the system pressure and, if it has dropped, open the filling-loop
again to bring the pressure back up to 1 bar.
2. Check the exhaust flue for the fumes produced by combustion.
3. Make sure that all gate valves are open;
4. Turn on the gas cock and check the seals on the connections, including the
one for the burner, making sure that the meter does not signal the passage
of gas.Check the connections with a soap solution and eliminate any leaks.
5. Press the reset button “A” for the lighting system; the spark will light the
main burner. If the burner does not light the first time, repeat the procedure.
6. Check the minimum and maximum pressure values for the gas going to the
burner; adjust it if needed using the values indicated in the table in
section 4.
(See the relative section for burner pressure adjustment within the servicing
manual).
3.5 Operational
Adjustments
The boiler was designed to make it easy to regulate and check the various
features. To access the areas where the adjustment and control devices are
located, simply remove the plugs by pressing from the inside, unscrew the
screws “A” and remove the bottom part of the instrument panel, rotating it
upward.
Right hand side service panel also provides access to:
- the power supply cord connector;
- the fuses.
Left hand side:
- the potentiometer for regulating the ignition delay (anti-cycling) feature, which
can be set from 0 to 2 minutes (factory set at 1 minute);
- the potentiometer for regulating the soft-light feature, the setting for which
can range from the minimum thermal power to the maximum:

The boiler is designed to make it easy to analyse the combustion by-products.
Using the especially designed apertures, readings can be taken on the
temperature of the combustion by-products and of the combustion air, as well
as of the concentrations of O2and CO2, etc.
The best maximum-power test conditions for the heating system are when the
selector “C” is turned to the flue analysis setting.
The discharge/ventilation of the exhaust fumes can be monitored to check for
losses in general pressure in the system.This is done to eliminate the cause of
lighting failure with the main burner not indicated by a shutdown status.
With a differential manometer connected to the test socket on the combustion
chamber, the DP value for the air pressure switch can be taken. The measured
value should not be less than 10 mbar under maximum thermal power
conditions (with the knob “C” on the flue test setting) in order for the unit to
function properly and without interruption.
- the potentiometer for the maximum thermal power for the heating system,
maximum thermal power setting (factory set at the maximum value, unless
indicated otherwise on the adhesive sticker located in proximity to the
potentiometer);
- The connection for the diagnostic device (TCS-TCS2).

G25 4.5 mm c.a.
G30-31 1.8 mm c.a.
The boiler is equipped with the following safety systems (see section 3.3 for
references):
1 - Ignition Failure
This control signals an ignition failure on the burner 7 seconds after a lighting
failure.The L.E.D.“B”.will turn on to signal the shutdown status.
The system can be reset by pressing and releasing the button “A” after
checking to make sure that the gas valve is open. Repeat this process until the
burner lights.
2 - Circulation Failure
This control signals that the safety pressure switch on the primary circuit has
not sensed a pressure of at least 1 bar within 40 seconds of the activation of
the circulation pump, it shuts off the boiler and lights the L.E.D. “D”.The system
can be reset (after the pressure has been brought up to the proper level) by
using the On/Off switch “L”.
3 - Overheating
This control shuts off the boiler in the case where the primary circuit reaches a
temperature in excess of 110°C. The L.E.D. “G” will come on to signal this shut
