1. OPERATIONG INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Introduction
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing DOMIcompact F 30 B, a FERROLI wall-mounting boiler featuring advanced
design and technology, high reliability and quality construction. Please read this manual carefully and
keep it for future reference.
DOMIcompact F 30 B is a high-efficiency condensing appliance for heating and hot water production
running on natural or liquefied petroleum gas (configurable at the time of installation) and regulated by
an advanced microprocessor control system.
The boiler shell consists of a primary copper laminar heat exchanger, a secondary aluminium heat
exchanger providing effective condensation of the water vapour contained in the flue gases, and burner
equipped with electronic ignition and ionization flame control.
The boiler is totally room sealed from the installation room: the air needed for combustion is drawn
from outside. The boiler also includes a fan, modulating gas valve, pump, expansion vessel, flow meter,
safety valve, temperature sensors, a safety thermostat and a low water pressure switch.
Thanks to the microprocessor control and adjustment system with advanced self-diagnosis, unit ope-
ration is for the most part automatic. The power for heating is automatically governed by the control
system according to the indoor and outdoor characteristics (with an optional outdoor sensor installed),
the characteristics of the building and of its location. The power for hot water is automatically and con-
tinually governed to ensure a fast delivery and comfort under all operating conditions.
The user only has to set the temperature desired inside the home (by means of an optional room
thermostat or remote control, which is required under the building regulations 2002) or regulate the
temperature of the system, and set the desired outlet temperature for the hot water. The adjustment
and control system will provide optimum operation throughout the year.
The display continuously provides information on the unit’s operating status and it is possible to obtain
additional information on the sensor temperatures, set-points, etc. or configure them. Any operating
problems associated with the boiler or system are immediately signalled by the display and, if possible,
corrected automatically.

It can vary from a minimum of 30 °C to a maximum of 85°C; however, it is advisable not to operate the
boiler below 45 °C. When the knob is turned the display lights up, the radiator symbol flashes and the
temperature displayed will be the temperature actually set. On completing this operation, the display
will stay on for another 5 seconds and then go back to the actual operating temperature providing there
is a demand.display.
Domestic Hot water temperature adjustment
To set the tap water temperature, turn the knob (ref. 2- Fig. 1).
It can vary from a minimum of 40 °C to a maximum of 55 °C. When the knob is turned the display lights
up, the tap symbol flashes and the temperature displayed will be the temperature actually set. On
completing this operation, the display will stay on for another 5 seconds to then go back to the actual
operating temperature providing there is a demand.
If the boiler is connected with the optional remote timer control, the above adjustments (system
and hot water temperature) can be made with the remote control.
ECO/COMFORT selection
The unit is equipped with a special internal device that ensures a high hot-water delivery speed and
excellent user comfort. When the device is working (COMFORT mode), the water in the boiler is kept
at temperature, which means that hot water is available at the boiler outlet as soon as a tap is opened,
with no waiting.
The user can turn the device off (ECO mode) by pressing the multi-function button for 2 seconds with
the boiler on standby. In ECO mode the display shows the relevant symbol. To turn on COMFORT mode,
press the multi-function button again for 2 seconds, the ECO symbol will vanish from the display.

2.2 Boiler location
The boilers combustion chamber is sealed off from the installation room. The installation room must be
sufficiently well ventilated to prevent any dangerous conditions from forming in the event of even slight
gas leakage. This safety standard is required by the EEC Directive no. 90/396 for all gas units, including
those with a so-called sealed chamber.
Therefore the place of installation must be free of dust, flammable materials or objects or corrosive
gases. The room must be dry and not subject to freezing.
The boiler is design to be installed on a solid wall. The wall fixing must ensure a stable and effective
support for the appliance, using the bracket and fixings supplied.
If the unit is enclosed in a cupboard or mounted alongside, there must be space for normal maintenance
work. Fig. 2 and tab. 1 give the minimum clearances to leave around the unit.
This appliance does not require compartment ventilation for combustion purposes
Drilling Template
Select suitable mounting position for boiler, using the template mark flue outlet and boiler mounting
points. Drill two 10mm holes 70mm deep to accept the wall plugs. Fit standard wall plugs on the left
and right side and the special wall plug in the middle (fig. 3). Fix the wall bracket to the wall using
standard lock nut (M8) on both sides. Mount the boiler on the wall bracket and fix using the special
antitheft nut (M8) as described in the fig. 3. Using a core drill cut a 118mm diameter hole for the flue
as detailed on page 17.

Make Up Water
Provision must be made for replacing water lost from the sealed system. Reference should be made
to BS6798, for methods of filling and making up sealed systems. There must be no direct connection
between the boiler's central heating system and the mains water supply. The use of mains water to
charge and pressurise the system directly, is conditional upon the Local Water Byelaws. Again any such
connection must be disconnected after use. The temporary filling loop ( not supplied ) is shown in fig.
5. Ensure the filling point is on the return pipe to the boiler.
Attention - is drawn to the Local Water Byelaws.
Fittings manufactured from duplex (alpha-beta) brass are not acceptable for underground use and certain
water undertakings will not accept their use above ground.
Ensure all pipework is adequately supported
NOTE: An automatic bypass capable
of passing 6 ltrs per minute must
be fitted as far as possible from the
boiler if thermostatic radiator valves
are fitted throughout.

2.3 Boiler water connections
The heating capacity of the unit should be previously established by calculating the building’s heat
requirement according to current regulations. For good operation and long life of the boiler, the plum-
bing system must be well proportioned and always complete with all those accessories that guarantee
efficient operation and running, room thermostat, trv’s and automatic bypass.
If the delivery and return pipes follow a path where air pockets could form in certain places, it is esential
to install air vent valves at these points. Also, install a type “A” drain cock device at the lowest point in
the system to allow its complete draining.
The temperature differential between the flow manifold and the return to the boiler should not exceed
20° C.
A minimum flow of 6 litres/min is requied through the heat exchanger, it is therefore essential to fit a
automatic bypass a min of 3 metres away from the appliance, calibrated on site.
Do not use the water system pipes to earth
electrical appliances.
Before installation, carefully flush all the pipes of the
heating system to remove residues or impurities that
could affect the unit’s good working (BS 7593 Building
regs Doc L).
Make the connections to the appliance as shown in fig. 6.
Key
1 System flow (22 mm with isolation valve fitted)
2 DHW outlet (15 mm with isolation valve fitted)
3 Gas inlet (22 mm with isolation valve fitted)
4 Cold main inlet (15 mm with isolation valve fitted)
5 System return - 22 mm with isolation valve fitted
(c/w filter)
6 Condense outlet
It is essential to install the isolation valves supplied between the boiler and heating system, allowing the
boiler to be isolated from the system if necessary.
The safety valve outlet must be connected to a 15 mm pipe to discharge outside the property
in the event of over-pressure in the heating circuit. If this is not done, and the drain valve trips
and floods the room, the boiler manufacturer is not to be held responsible. The outlet should
face back against the outer brickwork or building face to prevent harm or injury from hot water
discharging in the evet of an over-pressuried system.
Make the boiler connection in such a way that its internal pipes are free of stress. If a check valve is
installed on the tap water circuit (where applicable), it is necessary to mount a safety valve between the
boiler and this circuit (check valve minimum 3 metres from boiler).

2.4 Connection to the gas system
If necessary the local Gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation planning stage, in order to
establish the availability of an adequate supply of gas.
An existing service pipe must not be used whitout prior consultation with the local Gas supplier.
A gas meter can only be connected by the Local Gas supplier, or by a Local Gas suppliers Contractor.
Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with BS6891.
Appliance inlet working pressure must be 20 mbar MINIMUM, for NG and 37 mbar minimum for pro-
pane.
Do not use pipes of a smaller size than the combination boiler inlet gas isolation valve (22 mm).
The complete installation must be tested for gas soundness and purged as described in BS6891. All
pipework must be adquately supported. An isolating gas valve is provided and should be fitted
on the boiler gas inlet. Please wait 10 minutes when ligthing from cold before checking the gas
rate. Gas pressures should be checked after the boiler has operated for 10 minutes to ensure
thermal equilibrium.
2.5 Electrical Connections
The unit must be installed in conformity with current national and local regulations inc 16th Edition &
B.S. 7671.

The unit’s electrical safety is only guaranteed when correctly connected to an efficient earthing
system installed according to current safety standards. Have the efficiency and suitability of the
earthing system checked by professionally qualified personnel. The manufacturer is not respon-
sible for any damage caused by failure to earth the system. Also make sure that the electrical
system is adequate for the maximum power absorbed by the unit, as specified on the boiler
dataplate, in particular ensuring that the cross section of the system’s cables is suitable for the
power absorbed by the unit.
The boiler is prewired and provided with a cable for connection to the electricity supply. The connec-
tions to the supply must be made with a permanent connection and equipped with a double pole switch
whose contacts have a minimum opening of at least 3 mm, and fused at max. 3A between the boiler
and the line. It is important to respect the polarities (LIVE: brown wire / NEUTRAL: blue wire / EARTH:
yellow-green wire) in making connections to the electrical supply.
The user must never change the boilers power cable. If the cable gets damaged, switch off
the unit and have it changed only by professionally qualified personnel. If changing the electric
power cable, use solely “HAR H05 VV-F” 3x0.75 mm2cable with a maximum outside diameter
of 8 mm.

Horizontal flue installation
1.Define the suitable position for installing the boiler (see 2.2 boiler location)
2.When installing a horizontal flue kit, please ensure a 3mm per metre fall back to the appliance is incor-
porated
3.Make a hole of diameter 10 - 20 mm greater than the nominal diameter of the concentric pipe used.
4.If necessary, cut the end pipe to size, ensuring that the external pipe protrudes from the wall by between
10 and 60 mm (Fig. 10a and 10b). Remove the cutting burrs and lubricate the seals with a suitable silli-
cone based grease.

The total length in equivalent metres of the
concentric flue must not exceed the maximum
lengths stated in the following table, note that
each bend gives rise to the stated reduction. For
example, a duct = 60/100 composed of 1 bend
of 90° +1 horizontal metre + 2 bends of 45° +
1 horizontal metre has a total equivalent length
of 4 metres. Angled roof tile

Connection with 80 mm pipe system
The unit can be connected to a system of sepa-
rate air/flue pipes for a horizontal or vertical
outlet as shown on the fig. 11- 12. Numerous
accessories are available on request to meet
the various installation requirements.
Please refer to the flue manual catalogue or the
price list for additional components.
To check you do not exceed the maximum
permissible flue length, it is necessary to make
a simple calculation before installation:
1. For each component, tables 4 - 5 (page
20) provide an “equivalent loss in metres”,
depending on theposition of installation ofthe
component (with air intake or flue extraction,
vertical or horizontal).
The loss is called “equivalent length” since it
is compared to the loss of one metre of flue
(defined as equal to 1). For example, a bend
at 90° of Ø80 in flue run has an equivalent loss
of 2.5 linear metres, i.e. it has a loss equal to
that of 2.5 metres of flue length.
2. After designing the layout of the system, add
up the losses in equivalent metres, depending
on the installation position, of all the compo-
nents and accessories in the system.
3. Check that the total calculated loss is less
than or equal to 48 equivalent metres, i.e.
the maximum permissible for this model of
boiler.
For complete flue options please con-
tact FERROLI or check our comprensive
flue manual.
