5ENGLISH
Description of the appliance
The ACQUAHOME 32 B - 32 BS boiler produces hot water for
central heating and also produces domestic hot water in an
integrated 110 litre storage cylinder.
It can function at low temperature and is oil fuelled.
The single stage oil burner has a horizontal steel combustion
chamber.
Model ACQUAHOME 32 BS (unlike model ACQUAHOME 32 B )
has a sealed chamber.
The boiler body is thoroughly and effectively insulated with a
layer of high density glass wool.
The ACQUAHOME 32 B - 32 BS boiler's control logic incorporates
a total shutdown function to minimise energy consumption:
- With the mode key set to "Summer", the burner only
starts up to restore the setpoint temperature of the
water in the storage cylinder;
- With the mode key set to "Winter", the burner starts up
in response to a heat request from the central heating
system (i.e. when the room thermostat switches the
heating on) or to restore the setpoint temperature of the
water in the storage cylinder (DHW heat requests are
prioritised over central heating requests).
Safety devices
ACQUAHOME 32 B - 32 BS boilers incorporate the following
safety and control devices:
- A manual reset safety thermostat that forces a safe-
ty shutdown if boiler temperature exceeds the safety
threshold (100°C). The sensor used to monitor this tem-
perature is located on the body of the heat exchanger;
- Sensors that measure the temperature of the boiler and
storage cylinder;
-
An electronic burner controller that monitors the correct
functioning of the selected burner program and sends
a lockout signal to the control panel in the event of an
error.
b The intervention of a safety device indicates a potentially
dangerous malfunction in the system. Contact the
manufacturer’s Technical Assistance Centre immediately.
b Safety devices must only be replaced by the
manufacturer's Technical Assistance Centre using
original spare parts. Refer to the spare parts catalogue
supplied with the boiler.
a Do not use the boiler if any of its safety devices are faulty.
Always check that the boiler is functioning correctly after
repairs have been made.
