WARNINGS
- In case of failure or malfunction of the equipment, contact authorised technical staff
- Make sure that no external electrical cables can come into contact with hot parts of the water heater
- Duly install a device in the electrical power supply grid that ensures complete omni-polar disconnection
(surge category III)
- During operation of the water heater, the fumes exhaust pipe and the cast iron doors reach high tempera-
tures (do not touch without appropriate protection)
- If the electrical power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by qualified
technical staff
- To avoid system water backflow, install check valves or valves that are only opened to reintegrate water
into the system.
GENERAL NOTES
- The appliance must be installed by qualified staff who operate in compliance with the national standards in
force and with the instructions in the accompanying manual.
- The appliance is not intended for use by persons, including children, with reduced physical, sensory or
mental abilities. Children must be monitored to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
- A puffer (inertial accumulation) is recommended but not obligatory. Its presence has the advantage of
releasing the water heater from the system’s “sudden” requests and allowing integration with other
sources of heat. Reduces consumption and increases system efficiency.
- Do not use or leave materials that are explosive or easily flammable (e.g. petrol, paint, paper) in the room
where the appliance is installed.
- The user must be instructed on use and operation of the equipment.

2.4 HYDRAULIC DIAGRAM
The hydraulic circuit must be set up by an authorised installer or qualified personnel in compliance with the design specifications
and the technical standards and legislation in force. The temperature of the return water of the water heater should always be
above 55°C. An anti-condensation unit MUST, therefore, be installed, otherwise the warranty is rendered null and void.
WARNING
- The components of the system are the responsibility of the installer, who must observe the legislation in force and release a declara-
tion of conformity upon completion of his work.
- SIME cannot be held liable for harm to people or animals or damage to property attributable to an incorrect choice of components or
improper set-up of the system.
The hydraulic circuit diagram that can be used as a valid reference.

2.5 CLEANING (fig. 18)
Cleaning operations must be carried out
at regular intervals and only when the
boiler is cold.
Combustion residuals collect in the
removable drawer that must be emptied
before starting the boiler.
ATTENTION: To release and open the
bottom door, lift the locking bracket (A).
To remove all combustion residuals, use
an ordinary aspirator and verify that all
the ashes inside the combustion cham-
ber have been completely removed.
The aspirator can also be used to clean
the fuel grille.
To clean the fume ducts inside the boiler
body, use a wiper.
ATTENTION: if the generator is switched
off for long periods of time (above 15
days), it is necessary to empty the pellet
container in order to prevent the pel-
lets from absorbing excessive humidity,
which could affect the operation of the
boiler. A high amount of humidity in the
pellets could cause them to pulverize,
increase the amount of residuals in the
brazier and obstruct the pellet feeding
system.
2.6 SAFETY THERMOSTAT
( fig. 19)
The safety thermostat with manual reset
intervenes automatically, switching off
the burner, when the water heater tem-
perature exceeds 95°C.
To start the water heater back up again,
press the button as shown in the figure.
During the resetting procedure one must
not remove the bracket that protects the
thermostat.
If this event occurs frequently, have
qualified staff inspect the equipment.
2.7 ANNUAL
MAINTENENCE
For optimum performance, it is advis-
able to have the boiler inspected accu-
rately and thoroughly by qualified per-
sonnel at least once every season.
Before performing maintenance opera-
tions, verify that the boiler is cold and
has been disconnected from the mains.
2.7.1 Warnings
In the event of product failure and/or
malfunction, switch it off and do not
attempt to repair or intervene on it.
Any repairs must be carried out by
authorised staff using original spare
parts.
2.8 DEMOLITION
AND DISPOSAL
OF THE APPLIANCE
At the end of its life cycle the appliance
MUST BE DISPOSED AND
RECYCLED, as required by current law.
It MUST NOT be disposed of with dome-
stic waste. It can be taken to waste
recycling centres, where they exist, or to
a dealer providing this service.
Recycling waste prevents potential
damage to the environment and harm
to health. It also allows you to recover
many recyclable materials with signifi-
cant economic and energy savings.
