3 Description
3.1 Operating principle
3.1.1. Gas/air setting
The casing fitted to the boiler is also used as an air box. Air is sucked
in by the fan and gas injected into the venturi by the fan intake. The
fan rotation speed is set according to the settings parameters, the
thermal energy requirement and the temperatures measured by the
temperature sensors. The gas and air are mixed in the venturi. The
gas/air ratio ensures that the quantities of gas and air are adjusted to
each other. This provides optimum combustion on the entire output
range. The gas/air mixture is fed into the burner on top of the
exchanger.
3.1.2. Combustion
The burner heats the heating water circulating in the heat
exchanger. At a return temperature lower than around 55°C, the flue
gases cool down to a temperature lower than the dew point, thus
causing the condensation of the water vapour contained in the flue
gases in the back side of the heat exchanger. The heat released
during this condensation process (the latent heat or condensing heat)
is also transferred to the heating water. The cooled combustion gases
are evacuated via the combustion gas outlet flue. The condensation
water is evacuated via a siphon.

4 Operating the boiler
4.1 Commissioning the boiler
1. Check the water pressure in the installation shown on the control
panel display.
If the water pressure is lower than 0,8 bar, more water
should be added. If necessary, top up the water level in the
heating system (recommended hydraulic pressure
between 1,5 and 2,0 bar).
¼ See chapter: "Filling the system", page 27
2. Open the gas valve on the boiler.
3. Turn on the boiler using the on/off switch.
4. The first time the boiler is powered up, the #LANGUAGE menu is
displayed. Select the desired language by turning the rotary
button.
5. To confirm, press the rotary button.
The boiler will begin an automatic venting-programme (which lasts
approx. 3 minutes) and will do this every time the power supply is
isolated. If there is a problem, the error is displayed on the screen.
4.2 Reading out measured values
The various values measured by the appliance are displayed in the
#MEASURES menu.
1. To access user level: Press the > key.
2. Select the menu #MEASURES.
4Turn the rotary button to scroll through the menus or
modify a value.
4Press the rotary button to access the selected menu
or confirm a value modification.
