ELECTRIC WALL BOILER
Series ELEKTRA Compact.. BP-L
Presentation
Thank you for choosing a FIAMMA electric wall boiler, a product that features the latest
heating technologies, and robust and safe materials that ensure maximum efficiency
during use, the highest appliance quality and utmost safety for the user.
The Elektra Compact... series is built according to European Machine Directive 2006/42 -
IEC 60335-1:2010 and EN 60335-2-21:2003 +A1:2005 + A2:2008 - EN 60335-1:2012 - EN
62233:2008.
The result is a product with several distinguishing features:
- Particularly quiet operation, with maximum insulation of the unit by means of innovative
special materials, for minimum heat loss.
- High level of reliability due to the careful choice of materials and the rigorous tests carried
out on each appliance after production.
- High yield, with maximum efficiency thanks to the modulation of the electric power to the
heaters following the actual energy requirements of the system, or the sanitary water
production needs. The D.E.S. system manages the appliance by means of temperature
detection probes positioned in every sensitive point of the boiler, allowing the regulation of
the "comfort" or "economy" operating modes to your requirements, in order to reduce
consumption when the appliance is not used at maximum power or demand.
- The appliance is fully adjustable both as far as central heating system water temperature
(with the possibility of choosing high and low temperature system for underfloor heating)
and sanitary hot water temperature.
- The components have been coupled together so that they are all easily accessible from
the front of the unit during routine and extraordinary maintenance activities.
We suggest that our recommendations are carefully followed, and that you contact an
authorised FIAMMA service centre in your area to agree a scheduled maintenance
contract, which will ensure that your appliance always operates at maximum efficiency and
safety, and that it lasts a long time. In thanking you again for your choice, we would like to
remind you that our technical offices and our technical-commercial network are always at
your disposal to provide you with any information of a technical or general nature that you
might require.
