INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE INSTALLER

4912.272.1 - GB/IEINSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE USER
This boiler is designed to heat water at a lower than boiling temperature at atmospheric pressure. The boiler
must be connected to a central heating system and/or to a domestic hot water supply system in compliance
with its performances and output power.
The boiler must be installed by a Qualied Service Engineer ensuring that the following operations are carried
out:
a) Careful checking that the boiler is t for operation with the type of gas available. For more details see the
notice on the packaging and the label on the appliance itself.
b) Careful checking that the ue terminal draft is appropriate; that the terminal is not obstructed and that no
other appliance exhaust gases are expelled through the same ue duct, unless the ue is especially desi-
gned to collect the exhaust gas coming from more than one appliance, in conformity with the standards
and regulations in force.
c) Careful checking that, in case the ue has been connected to pre-existing ue ducts, thorough cleaning
has been carried out in that residual combustion products may come off during operation of the boiler and
obstruct the ue duct.
d) To ensure correct operation of the appliance and avoid invalidating the warranty, observe the following
precautions:
1. Hot water circuit:
If the water hardness is greater than 20 °F (1 °F = 10 mg calcium carbonate per litre of water) a
polyphosphate or comparable treatment must be used in response to current regulations.
2. Heating circuit
2.1.New system
Before proceeding with installation of the boiler, the system must be cleaned and ushed out thoroughly
to eliminate residual thread-cutting swarf, solder and solvents if any, using suitable proprietary
products.
To avoid damaging metal, plastic and rubber parts, use only neutral cleaners, i.e. non-acid and non
alkaline. The recommended products for cleaning are:
SENTINEL X300 or X400 and FERNOX heating circuit restore. The use of this product must be strictly
in accordance with the maker’s directions. Finally the system must be dosed with a suitable inhibitor at
1% system volume.
2.2. Existing system
Before proceeding with installation of the boiler, the system must be cleaned and ushed out to remove
sludge and contaminants, using suitable proprietary products as described in section 2.1.
To avoid damaging metal, plastic and rubber parts, use only neutral cleaners, i.e. non-acid and non-
alkaline such as SENTINEL X100 and FERNOX heating circuit protective.
Remember that the presence of foreign matter in the heating system can adversely affect the operation
of the boiler (e.g. overheating, noisy operation, or failure of the heat exchanger may occur).
Failure to observe the above will render the warranty null and void.
1. INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Initial lighting of the boiler must be carried out by a qualied service engineer. Ensure the following operations
are carried out:
a) Compliance of boiler parameters with (electricity, water, gas) supply systems settings.
b) Compliance of installation with the standards and regulations in force.
c) Appropriate connection to the power supply and earthing of the appliance.
Failure to observe the above will render the warranty null and void.
Prior to commissioning remove the protective plastic coating from the unit. Do not use any tools or abrasive
detergents as you may damage the painted surfaces.

IMPORTANT: The instructions contained in this manual relating to the operation of the hot water circuit
are relevant only if the appliance is actually connected to a hot water system.
To correctly light the burner proceed as follows:

a) Automatic operation. Operation of the boiler is controlled by the timed program as described in point
3-5.1 “Daily timed program for operation of the central heating system”;
b) Manual operation at the maximum temperature set. The boiler comes into operation regardless of
the timed program set. The operating temperature is that set using the key (point 3-3: “Setting
the maximum central heating temperature”);
c) Manual operation at minimum temperature. The operating temperature is that set in point 3-6:
“setting the minimum central heating temperature”.
The manual transition from positions a) and b) to position c) involves shut-down of the burner and
disconnection of the pump after the post-circulation delay interval (the factory setting for this parameter
is 3 minutes).
d) standby. The boiler does not work in central heating mode, although the frost protection function is
still enabled.
(1) Hot water on/off key: Press this key to activate or inhibit this function, which is identied by the
appearance on the display of two black dashes under the symbol.
(4) Reset key. In case of a fault, referred to in point 3-7 “Faults and resetting the boiler”, the boiler
can be restarted by pressing this key for at least two seconds.
If this key is pressed with no fault present, the display will show the message “E153”, and the same
key has to be pressed again (for at least two seconds) to restart the boiler.
(9) Data key. This key can be pressed repeatedly to display the following information:
- Temperature (°C) of the hot water ( );
- outdoor temperature (°C) ( ); only provided with the outdoor temperature sensor probe
connected.
Press either of the keys to return to the main menu.
