Congratulations on your choice.
RIVA ADVANCE HE 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 ADVANCE HE 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;
--- isofthecorrectgaugefortheflowtothe
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;

---canbeusedonlyforthosepurposesfor
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.

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.
nThis boiler allows to control the flow tem-
perature of the central heating system at very
low levels.
In case of underfloor heating system a tem-
perature limiting device (e.g. a safety thermo-
stat) is recommended to stop the boiler in
case that the water temperature exceeds the
design temperature.
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.
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
Biasi UK Ltd support the Benchmark initiat-
ive. The Benchmark Log Book is located at
the back of this manual and should be com-
pleted by the Installing/Commissioning En-
gineer and handed over to the User for fu-
ture reference by other visiting Engineers.
Also included is the Service Interval Record
card that should be completed by the Ser-
vice 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 indicated
on the temperature and pressure gauge 4 is
notlowerthanthatshowninFig.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-
stalleroranApprovedEngineer.
This appliance is provided with a built in anti---
freeze system that operates the boiler when the
temperature is below 5 ûC
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
isolationswitchorclosethegasinletcock.
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
given in section 2.6 on page 7.
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).

2.4 C.h. circuit temperature
The output temperature of c.h. water is adjustable
from a minimum of about 25°C to a maximum of
about 85°C (Fig. 2.6), by turning the knob (8).
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 the burner
litattheminimumlevelformoreorlesslong
periods.
It is possible to fit to this boiler an optional outside
temperature sensor which helps to manage and
control the boiler and system efficiency. The fol-
lowing instructions indicate how to set the output
temperature of the c.h. water depending on
whether the optional outside sensor has been
fitted.

Adjustment WITHOUT the external tempera-
ture probe (optional) fitted
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:

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.
Adjustment WITH the external temperature
probe (optional)
When the boiler is connected to the external tem-
perature probe (optional), the temperature of the
c.h. flow is automatically adjusted with reference
to the external temperature.
Inthiscasetheboilermustbeproperlysetbythe
installer (as described in section 7.9 of this man-
ual) and the c.h. flow temperature control knob
must be positioned as illustrated in Fig. 2.8.
To satisfy temporary changes or different room
temperatures, the c.h. water temperature can also
be manually increased or decreased within a
range of ±15 ûC by turning the knob 8 (Fig. 2.8).
More details are given in section 7.9 of this man-
ual.

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. 2.9), by turning the
temperature control knob 9.

Maximum
Fig. 2.9
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.
Where lime scale is present in the water supply
(hard water areas) it is also advisable not to ex-
ceed the setting position of the d.h.w. temperature
control knob (9) as indicated in Fig. 2.10. This will
help to minimise the incidences of scale deposits
clogging the domestic hot water heat exchanger
of the boiler.
