Installation, start-up, adjustments and maintenance must be
performed by a competent person only in accordance with the Gas
Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations (1984) and the instructions
provided. Improper installation may cause damage or injury to
individuals, animals and personal property, for which the
manufacturer will not be held liable.
To ensure efficient and safe operation it is recommended that the
boiler is serviced annually by a competent person.
If it is known or suspected that a fault exits on the appliance, it must
not be used until fault has been corrected by a competent person
HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS
To get the most out of your boiler, we have provided you
with some useful advice on the proper use and
maintenance:
- Periodically check the system pressure using the pres-
sure guage “O”, make sure that the pressure is
between 1.0 and 1.5 bar (the blue part on the gauge)
when the system is off and cool.The warning L.E.D.
“D” will indicate if the pressure is below the minimum recommended
value. Consult your installer for checking and refilling the system.
- The outer panels of the unit's case must only be cleaned with a damp
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.The Control panel can be wiped with
either a damp or dry cloth. Spray polishes must not be used on the control
panel surface or knobs. Care must be taken in preventing any liquid
entering the appliance.
- If the water is exceptionally hard, install a water softener so that the effi-
ciency of the unit remains the same over time, as this will consume less gas.
- To improve comfort and take full advantage of the heat produced by the
boiler, it is recommended that an external thermostat be installed.
- If the boiler is not going to be used for an extended period of time,
turn off the supply of electricity to the unit by pressing the
On/Off switch “L”.
The green L.E.D. “I” will turn off.Then turn off the
supply of gas to the unit itself.
- It is good practice to clean and service the appliance
and central heating system every year.
Call an Authorised Service Centre.

WINTER AND SUMMER OPERATING MODES
(FOR ALL MODELS)
The boiler is fitted with a selector knob “C” which
allows you to switch between winter <>and
summer <>operating modes and vice versa.
When the knob is set to <>, the boiler can
serve the dual purpose of providing heat and/or hot
water for domestic use.
The supply of hot water for domestic use always
takes precedence over heating. When the knob is
set to <>,the boiler cuts out the heating system and only provides hot
water for domestic use (when needed).

START-UP PROCEDURE
LIGHTING
(FOR ALL MODELS )
Before starting the unit, check the following:
· The water pressure on the pressure gauge “O”;
· That the gas cock and the inlet for domestic water are
open.
These models are equipped with electronic ignition which utilises contact
ionisation.
To make the boiler operational, simply press the On/Off switch “L”.
The green L.E.D. “I” will then turn on.
At this point the boiler is ready for use: a centralised
electronic control unit will automatically light the main
burner when needed. If the burner does not light within
the pre-set safety time limit, the red “B” L.E.D. will light
up. To reset the ignition system, the reset button “A”
must be pressed. Should the system fail to light a
second time, check to make sure that the gas cock is
open. If the problem persists, contact one of our
Authorised Service Centres for assistance.

TURNING ON THE BOILER
Installation without a room thermostat :
- Turn on the power supply to the boiler by pressing the
On/Off switch “L”;the green L.E.D.“I”will then turn on;
- Turn the “C” selector knob to <>;
- Regulate the temperature of the water in the boiler by
turning the “H” knob. The temperature can vary
between 42°C and about 82°C;
- Check the boiler temperature on the thermometer with
the yellow L.E.D.s “F”.With this type of installation, the
ambient temperature does not influence the operation
of the boiler and
the circulation
pump always re-
mains in
operation.

Installation with a room thermostat:
- Turn the “C” selector knob to < >;
- Turn on the power supply to the boiler by pressing the
On/Off switch ”L”; the green L.E.D. will then turn on;
- Turn the thermostat knob “H” to the highest tempera-
ture setting.
- With this type of installation, the boiler is controlled by a room thermostat.
Therefore, it runs until the ambient temperature has reached the tempe-
rature setting on the thermostat.At that point, the main burner will turn off
and the circulation pump will stop.
TURNING OFF THE BOILER
Installation without a room thermostat:
To turn off the heating, turn the “C” selector knob to
<>.The boiler will still provide hot water for domestic
use.

ADJUSTING THE HEATING TEMPERATURE
To economise on consumption while achieving the highest level of comfort,
the temperature adjustment knob is designed with three different heating
zones based on the temperature outside the home.
Rotate the knob “H” as shown below.

PRODUCTION OF HOT WATER
FOR DOMESTIC USE
(FOR ALL MODELS)
- Turn on the power to the boiler by pressing the
On/Off switch “L”;
- With these settings, the boiler is already ready for use,
regardless of the position of the “C” selector knob.
- Turn the “E” knob to select the temperature for the hot water (between
36°C and about 56°C depending on the flow rate of the water).
ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE OF
WATER FOR DOMESTIC USE
(FOR ALL MODELS)
It is recommended that the temperature for the hot water
should not be set to high temperatures and then mixed
with cold water. Setting the thermostat to medium
temperatures is preferable
(see figure) .
