"WINTER" operating status
When the "WINTER" mode is enabled, both DHW and CH functions are active.
"CH ONLY" operating status
When the "CH ONLY" mode is enabled, only the heating water production function is active.
"OFF" operating status
When the "OFF" mode is enabled, no function is active.
1.3.3 CH function
To set the water temperature for central heating, press the +/- HEATING buttons.
The CH temperature setting range is from +35 °C to +78 °C.
During temperature setting, the symbol ashes on the screen and the CH current temperature setting is displayed.
When the CH system requests heat from the boiler, the LCD displays the CH symbol and the current CH ow water temperature.
The waiting time between one boiler ignition and the following one, used to prevent boiler frequent turning on and o󰀨, ranges between
0 and 10 minutes (default value: 4 minutes), and can be edited with the P3 parameter.
Should water temperature in the CH system fall below set minimum value, between +35°C and +78°C (default value +40°C) to be
edited with the P18 parameter, the waiting time is reset and the boiler re-ignites.
The burner ON symbol shows while the burner is operating.

Instructions for the user
12
1.3.4 DHW function

1.3.5 Freeze protection function
This boiler is tted with a freeze protection system, which works when the following functions are activated: OFF/SUMMER/WINTER/
CH ONLY.
When the heating water temperature sensor detects a water temperature of +5 °C, the boiler switches on and stays on at its minimum
heat output until the temperature reaches +30 °C or 15 minutes have elapsed.
If the boiler is in the OFF mode, only the circulation pump will be activated.
The pump continues to operate even if the boiler shuts down.
DANGER
The freeze protection function only protects the boiler, not the whole heating system.
A room thermostat must be used to provide freeze protection for the CH system. However, the thermostat is disabled
when the boiler is in OFF mode.
The central heating system can be e󰀨ectively protected against icing by using specic anti-freeze products that are suitable for multi-
metal systems.
WARNING
Do not use anti-freeze products for car engines, and check the e󰀨ectiveness of the product used over time.
In case burner cannot be ignited due to the lack of gas, the freeze protection functions are anyway enabled through the circulation
pumps.
1.3.6 Anti-seize function
If the boiler remains inactive and connected to the power mains, the circulation pump will be shortly enabled every 24 hours so as to
avoid any shut-down.
1.3.7 Timed post-circulation function
After each central heating, DHW or freeze protection request, the pump continues to be powered for 30 seconds.
If a new central heating, DHW or freeze protection request is received during this period, the post-circulation function is cancelled in
order to full the request.
1.3.8 Timed post-ventilation function
After each central heating, DHW or freeze protection request, the fan continues to work for 10 seconds.
If a new operating request is received during this period, the post-ventilation function is cancelled in order to full the request.

Instructions for the user 13
1.3.9 Operation with (optional) remote control

• CH system water temperature selection.
• DHW temperature selection.
• CH system activation time programming.
• boiler diagnostics display.
• boiler reset and other parameters.
To connect the Remote Control, see Installation and operation with Open Therm Remote Control (optional) on page 38.
WARNING
Only use original Remote Control Units supplied by the manufacturer.
The use of non-original remote controls, not supplied by the manufacturer, may a󰀨ect Remote Control and boiler opera-
tion.
1.4 Boiler shut-down
The boiler shuts down automatically if a malfunction occurs.
To determine the possible causes of malfunction, see Troubleshooting on page 50.
Below is a list of shut-down types and the procedure to follow in each case.
1.4.1 Burner shut-down
Fault code E01 is displayed ashing on the display in the event of burner shut-down due to missing ame.
If this happens, proceed as follows:
• check that the gas cock is open and light a kitchen gas ring for example to check the gas supply;
• once having checked if the fuel is available, press the Reset button to restore burner operation: if, after two starting attempts, the
boiler still fails to start and enters the shut-down mode again, contact a service centre or qualied personnel for maintenance.
WARNING
If the burner shuts down frequently, there is a recurring malfunction, so contact a service centre or a qualied service
engineer.
1.4.2 Shut-down due to overheating
