Congratulations on your choice.
RIVA COMPACT HE MK2 are condensing high efficiency sealed chamber fan flue gas
boilers.
They are fully electronically controlled and have electronic ignition.
Thematerialstheyaremadeofandthecontrolsystemstheyareequippedwithgiveyousafety,
a high level of comfort and energy savings to allow you to get the greatest benefit out of
independent heating.
RIVA COMPACT HE MK2 allow a higher efficiency by reducing the flue gas temperature such
that the water vapour formed during the combustion is condensed out.
This allows a gain of useful heat that otherwise would be lost.
Remember that...
nThe manual
--- must be read thoroughly, so that you will
be able to use the boiler in a safe and sen-
sible way;
--- must be carefully kept. It may be necess-
ary for reference in the future.
nFirst lighting up must be carried out by
competent and responsible engineer.
nThe manufacturer
--- disclaim all liability for any translations of
the present manual from which incorrect in-
terpretation may occur
--- cannot be held responsible for non--- ob-
servance of instructions contained in this
manual or for the consequences of any pro-
cedure not specifically described.
Using the boiler...
nBefore lighting the boiler you are ad-
vised to have a professionally qualified per-
son check that the installation of the gas
supply
--- is gas---tight;
--- is of the correct gauge for the flow to the
boiler;
--- is fitted with all the safety and control de-
vices required by the current Regulations.
nEnsure that
--- the installer has connected the pressure
relief valve outlet to a drain pipe. The manu-
facturers are not responsible for damage
caused by opening of the pressure relief
valve and consequent escape of water, if not
connected correctly to the drain.
--- the installer has connected the conden-
sate outlet to a suitable drain pipe.
nOn detecting the smell of gas
--- don’t operate any electrical switches, the
telephone or any device that may produce
sparks;
--- open the windows and doors at once to
create a draught of air which will purge the
area;
--- shut off the gas cocks;
--- get the assistance of a qualified person.
nDo not touch the appliance with parts of
thebodythatarewetordampand/orbare
feet.
nDo not block or modify the condensate
outlet and pipework
nIn case of structural work or mainten-
ance near the exhaust duct and/or fume ex-
haust devices or their attachments, turn off
the appliance. On completion of the work,
have a professionally qualified person check
their efficiency.
nRepairs (under guarantee) must be car-
ried out only by an approved engineer, using
genuine spare parts. Thus do no more than
switching off the boiler yourself (see the in-
structions).
nYour boiler allows heating up of water to
a temperature less than boiling point;
--- must be connected to a central heating

system and/or a hot water supply system,
compatible with its performance and output;
--- can be used only for those purposes for
which it has been specially designed;
--- must not be touched by children or by
those unfamiliar with its operation;
--- must not be exposed to weather condi-
tions.
nDuring the operation it is quite normal
that the boiler produces a white plume of
condensation vapour from the flue terminal.
This is due to the high efficiency of the ap-
pliance and may be particularly evident with
low outdoor temperatures.
Safe handling of
appliance
When handling or lifting always use safe tech-
niques
--- keep your back straight, bend your knees, don’t
twist
--- move your feet, avoid bending forwards and
sideways and keep the load as close to your body
as possible.

Boiler installation and commissioning tips
nThe installation must be carried out by
a qualified person who will be responsible for
observing the current Regulations.
Installing the boiler...
nDonotforgettoremovethetransitcaps
and plugs from the boiler connections these
are fitted to every boiler.
nKeep the boiler clear of dust during in-
stallation and in particular do not allow any
dust or debris to enter the top of the boiler
where the flue connection is made. It is rec-
ommended that you put a dust sheet over the
top of the boiler until you are ready to make
the flue connection.
nBecause every boiler is fired and tested
live at the factory, a small amount of water re-
mains within the boiler. It is possible for this
water to initially cause the pump to seize. It is
therefore recommended that the pump rotor
be manually turned to free its rotation before
turning the boiler on.
nRemember to release the auto air purge
before filling the boiler. See the instructions to
identify the location of this device.
nDo not remove the cap of the pressure
test points of the air switch (top left side of the
boiler).
nYou are strongly advised to flush out the
system both cold and hot in order to remove
system and installation debris.
nIt is also sensible to initially fire and com-
mission the boiler before connecting any ex-
ternal controls such as a room thermostat. By
this method if you have a subsequent prob-
lem following the addition of an external con-
trol you can eliminate the boiler from your
fault analysis.
nDonotforgettorangeratetheboilerto
suit the system requirements. This pro-
cedure is covered in the commissioning sec-
tion of the installation manual.
nIf the boiler is fitted with a digital pro-
grammer, when setting the times for auto-
matic operation, remember that for every
“ON” time there must be an “OFF” time to fol-
low and that on every occasion you enter a
time you must also indicate which days that
you want the boiler to follow the timed set-
tings.
nSome products incorporate an anti cycl-
ing time delay. It is normal when first switch-
ing the boiler on for the boiler to operate on
heating for a few seconds then switch off.
After 3 --- 4 minutes has elapsed the boiler will
then re ignite and operate perfectly normally.
The ignition delay cycle does not prevent
normal operation of the boiler to provide
d.h.w.
nIf you are in any doubts as to the installa-
tion or operation of the boiler please read the
instruction manuals thoroughly and then if
necessary contact Biasi UK for advice and
assistance.
Please remember that if you are in any doubt about the installation of this product you can contact our

2.1 Warnings
Our Company supports the Benchmark in-
itiative. The Benchmark Log Book is lo-
cated at the back of this manual and should
be completed by the Installing/Commiss-
sioning Engineer and handed over to the
User for future reference by other visiting
Engineers. Also included is the Service In-
terval Record card that should be com-
pleted by the Service Engineer following
the annual service maintenance of the
boiler and system.
All CORGI Registered Installers carry a
CORGI ID card, and have a registration
number. Both should be recorded in your
Benchmark Log Book. You can check your
installer is registered by calling CORGI di-
rect on 01256 372300.
In order to guarantee safety and correct oper-
ation, it is essential that all the tests are carried
out by a competent and responsible service
engineer before lighting up the boiler.
The tests are described in the installation in-
structions in section 7 commissioning.
Ensure that the c.h. circuit is regularly filled
with water (even if the boiler is only used for
d.h.w. supply) checking that the pressure indi-
cated on the temperature and pressure gauge
4 is not lower than that shown in Fig. 2.2.
If the pressure reading on the pressure gauge
is below that shown in Fig. 2.2, then the system
will require topping up. A filling loop is normally
provided by the installer for this purpose.
If you are in any doubt regarding this pro-
cedure you are advised to contact your In-
staller or an Approved Engineer.
This appliance is provided with a built in anti---
freeze system that operates the boiler when
the temperature is below 5 ˚C
Therefore, when the boiler is not lit or used in
cold weather, with consequent risk of freezing
do not switch off the boiler at the fused spur
isolation switch or close the gas inlet cock.
When you do not expect to use the boiler for a
long period and the boiler is not to be used for
frost protection then follow the instructions
giveninsection2.6onpage6.
2.2 Refilling procedure
1 Isolate the boiler from the electrical supply at
the fused spur. Reconnect the filling loop as
demonstrated in Fig. 2.1.

Engineer
Air introduced into the boiler during this filling pro-
cess will vent through the automatic air purger
fitted to the boiler. You may also find it necessary
to vent air from your radiator circuit using your
radiator key, however be aware that excessive
venting will cause the pressure in the system to
drop.
Always ensure that the pressure gauge is set at the
required pressure.

2.3 Ignition
1 Check that the valves located in the lower part
of the boiler are open (Fig. 2.3).
Open position
Fig. 2.3
2 Turn on the electricity supply to the boiler,
switching on the fused spur isolation switch.
The appliance operation light 10 (Fig. 2.4) will
flash every 4 seconds (stand---by condition).
3 If the boiler is to be used for c.h. and d.h.w,
position the function selector 8 as in Fig. 2.4.
The appliance operation light 10 will flash
every 2 seconds (operating boiler).
810
Fig. 2.4
4 If d.h.w. supply only is required, position the
function selector 8 as in Fig. 2.5.
The appliance operation light 10 will flash
every 2 seconds (operating boiler).
810
Fig. 2.5
2.4 C.h. circuit temperature
The output temperature of c.h. water is adjustable
from a minimum of about 40°C to a maximum of
about 85°C (Fig. 2.6), by turning the function se-
lector (8).
Adjustment of c.h. output on the boiler is auto-
matic. The greatest output pre---set in the factory
can, however, be reduced in level according to
actual system requirements; this does not affect
the maximum output in d.h.w. operation.
Such adjustments must be carried out by a quali-
fied person; therefore we advise you to contact
yourinstallerorServiceAgent.
Adjustment of the boiler temperature alters the
gas flow at the burner according to the thermal de-
mand in the system. So it is usual to see theburner
lit at the minimum level for more or less long
periods.
Minimum
Maximum
Fig. 2.6
Adjustment
In order to achieve optimal settings for economy
and comfort, we recommend adjusting the oper-
ating temperature of the c.h. water according to
the outside temperature, positioning the knob as
follows:
Lower than
--- 5 ˚C
From 5 to 15 ˚CBetween
--- 5 a n d + 5 ˚C

Your qualified installer will be able to recommend
the most suitable adjustment for your system.
The temperature and pressure gauge (4, Fig. 1.3
on page 2) will allow you to check that the set tem-
perature is obtained.
2.5 D.h.w. temperature
The temperature of the d.h.w. leaving the boiler
can be varied from a minimum of about 35°Ctoa
maximum of about 55°C (Fig. 2.8), by turning the
temperature control knob 9.
9
Minimum
Maximum
Fig. 2.8
Adjustment of the d.h.w. temperature is complete-
ly separate from that of the c.h. circuit.
The adjustment system integrated within the
boiler automatically controls the flow of gas to the
burner in order to keep the temperature of d.h.w.
delivered constant, between the limits of maxi-
mum and minimum output.
Where the demand is at a low level or with the tem-
perature set to the minimum, it is normal to see a
cycle of lighting and extinguishing of the burner
when running.
Adjustment
It is advisable to adjust the d.h.w. temperature to
a level commensurate with the demand, minimis-
ing the need to mix with cold water. In this way, the
automatic control facilities will be fully exploited.
Moreover, where the amount of limescale present
in the water may be particularly great, not exceed-
ing the position in Fig. 2.9 of the d.h.w. tempera-
ture control knob 9 corresponding to about 50°C
(Fig. 2.9), minimises annoying incidences of scale
deposits and clogging.
9
Fig. 2.9
In these cases, however, it is advisable to install a
small water treatment device or softener. With
such a device you should avoid periodic descal-
ing.
Consequently, the d.h.w. heat exchanger willkeep
its performance consistent for a longer period of
time with resulting gas savings.
If the demand for d.h.w. is so great as to prevent
reaching a high enough temperature, have the ap-
propriate output limiting valve installed by your in-
staller or an Authorised Service Engineer.
2.6 Extinguishing
To turn the boiler off set the function selector 8 to
the position shown in Fig. 2.10.
The appliance operation light 10 will flash every 4
seconds.
810
Fig. 2.10
When you do not expect to use the boiler for a long
period:
1 Switch off the electricity supply to the boiler, by
means of the fused spur isolation switch;
2 Shut off the gas supply cock 14 and the valves
for the water circuits fitted under the boiler

3USEFUL ADVICE
11
3.1 Central heating
For reasonably economical service install a room
thermostat.
Never shut off the radiator in the area where the
room thermostat is installed.
If a radiator (or a convector) does not heat up,
check that no air is present in it and that its valve
is open.
If the ambient temperature is too high, do not alter
the radiator valves. Reduce the central heating
temperature instead by means of the room ther-
mostat and the function selector (8 in Fig. 3.1).

Fig. 3.1
3.2 Frost protection
This appliance is provided with a built in anti---
freeze system that operates the boiler when the
temperature is below 5 ˚C
Therefore, when the boiler is not lit and used in
cold weather, with consequent risk of freezing do
not switch off the boiler at the fused spur isola-
tion switch or close the gas inlet cock.
3.3 Condensate drain
Thecondensatedrainmustnotbemodifiedor
blocked.
Blockage of the condensate drain, caused by de-
bris or freezing, can cause automatic shutdown of
the boiler.
If freezing is suspected and the piperun is access-
ible an attempt may be made to free the obstruc-
tion by pouring hot water over the exposed pipe
an cleaning any blockage from the end of the
pipe. If this fails to remedy the problem the assist-
ance of a CORGI registered installer or in IE a com-
petent person should be sought.
3.4 Periodic maintenance
For efficient and continuous operation of the
boiler, it is advisable to arrange maintenance and
cleaning by an Authorised Service Centre En-
gineer, at least once a year.
During the service, the most important compo-
nents of the boiler will be inspected and cleaned.
This service can be part of a maintenance con-
tract.
In particular, you are advised to have the following
checks carried out:
--- primary heat exchanger;
--- domestic hot water heat exchanger;
--- burner;
--- exhaust fume duct and flue;
--- pressurisation of the expansion tank;
--- filling up of the central heating circuit;
--- bleeding of air from the central heating system;
--- general check of the appliance’s operation.
3.5 External cleaning
Before carrying out any cleaning, disconnect the
appliance from the electrical mains, using the
fused spur isolation switch fitted adjacent to the
appliance.
To clean the external panels, use a cloth soaked in
soapy water. Do not use solvents, abrasive powd-
ers or sponges.
Do not carry out cleaning of the appliance and/or
its parts with readily flammable substances (for
example petrol, alcohols, naphtha, etc.).
3.6 Operational faults
If the lock---out signal lamp comes on
this indicates that the safety lock--- out 6 (Fig. 3.2)
has stopped the boiler
To re--- start the boiler, it is necessary to press the
boiler reset button 7 (Fig. 3.2).

procedures for the gas supply, it may be necess-
USE

Useful advice
12
ary to repeat the resetting operation several times
so as to remove the air present in the pipework.
After five consecutive resetting attempts the reset
button is inhibited. To restore its function it is
necessary to switch the boiler off and on from the
electrical mains, using the fused spur isolation
switch fitted adjacent to the appliance.
Safety lock---out may occour even in case of an
blockage of the condensate drainage (e.g.
plugged drain pipe).
It is advisable to check the condensate drainage
pipe and traps for cleaness.
In case of persistent lock --- out call a competent
and responsible service engineer.
If noises due to air bubbles are heard during
operation...
you should check that the pressure on the tem-
perature and pressure gauge (Fig. 2.2 on page 4)
is not below the correct setting.
If required, top up the system correctly, as de-
scribed in the section 2.2 of this manual.
Bleed any air present in the radiators, if necessary.
If the pressure on the temperature and pres-
suregauge(4onpage2)hasgonedown...
it is necessary to top up the appliance with water
again, so as to raise the pressure to an adequate
level as described in the section 2.2 of this manual.
If topping up with water has to be done very fre-
quently, have the system checked for leaks.
If water comes out of the pressure relief valve
Check on the temperature and pressure gauge (4
on page 2) that the pressure in the central heating
circuit is not close to 3 bars. In this case, tempera-
ture rise in the circuit can cause the pressure relief
valve to open.
So that this does not happen and to decrease the
pressure to a normal value, it is advisable to vent
some of the water in the appliance through the
bleed valves present in the radiators.
If in time, a reduction in domestic hot water
supply is observed...
The likely causes may be impurities caught in the
domestic hot water flow switch filter or limescale
deposited in the domestic hot water heat ex-
changer. It is advisable to have the appliance
cleaned out by an Authorised Service Centre En-
gineer.
If water should occasionally leak from the
boiler...
shut off the valves positioned under the boiler
(Fig. 2.11 on page 7) and call an Authorised Ser-
vice Centre Engineer.
If the left appliance operation light 10 (Fig. 3.3)
flashes very quickly the boiler is detecting a
fault.

Fig. 3.3
In this case or in case of problems other than
those mentioned here, switch off the boiler, as
describedinsection2.6onpage6andcalla
competent and responsible service engineer.

The hydraulic specifications in Fig. 4.3 represent
the pressure (available head for the central heat-
ing system) as a function of the flow rate.
The load loss due to the boiler has already been
subtracted.
Output with thermostat cocks shut off
The boiler is fitted with an automatic by --- pass
valve (45 on page 13), which protects the primary
heat exchanger.
In case of excessive reduction or total blockage of
water circulation in the central heating system
owing to closure of the thermostatic valves or sys-
tem component cocks, the by---pass valve ensur-
es a minimum flow of water through the primary
heat exchanger.
4.4 Expansion vessel
Note:thisboilerisdesignedforoperationonly
in a sealed central heating system
The height difference between the pressure relief
valve and the highest point in the system may be
10m at most.
For greater differences, increase the pre--- load
pressure in the expansion vessel (44 on page 13)
and the system, when cold, by 0.1 bar for each
additional 1m.
