5.2 Commissioning the boiler
1. Check the water pressure in the installation.
2. Open the gas valve.
3. Throw the boiler’s ON / OFF switch.
4. The start-up cycle begins. It lasts 2 minutes and cannot be
interrupted.
During the start-up cycle, the display shows the following
information:
fK[xx: Software version
pK[xx: Parameter version
The version numbers are displayed alternately.
5. When the start-up cycle is finished, the display shows 0. The
boiler is now operational.
5.3 Stopping the boiler
1. Throw the boiler’s ON / OFF switch.
2. Switch off the boiler electrical power supply.

3. Close the gas valve.
5.4 Turning on the antifreeze function
We recommend setting the boiler thermostat to a value off 10°C if
using a classic installation.
Set the boiler to ECO mode using parameter p4, this action will
switch off the standby setting.
Installation and room antifreeze protection is guaranteed if you are
absent.
If the temperature of the central heating water in the boiler falls too
much, the integrated protection device switches itself on:
4If the water temperature is lower than 7°C, the circulating pump is
activated.
4If the water temperature is lower than 3°C, the boiler is activated.
4When the water temperature is above 10 °C, the boiler is switched
off and the circulation pump runs for another 15 minutes.
CAUTION
This function is a protection device for the boiler only, not
for the system or buiding fabric.
CAUTION
If a room thermostat, connected via connectors 7 and 8,
is activated, the boiler will operate permanently until it
reaches the flow setting point.

5.5 Changing the settings
5.5.1. Changing the heating temperature
If an outside temperature sensor or an OpenTherm control
system is fitted, the heating flow temperature is adjusted
automatically.
In summer, it is possible to reduce the heating flow temperature whilst
maintaining comfort. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Press the D key.
The symbol D and the current temperature are displayed.
2. Use the [+] and [-] keys to change the parameter value.
3. To confirm the new value, press the key S.
It also possible to modify this setting using the parameter
p1. ¼See chapter: "Other settings", page 19.
5.5.2. Modifying the comfort setting (ECO)
The user can consult or modify the following 3 settings:
4ON = Activation of the energy-saving setting.
4OFF = Activation of the comfort setting.
4AUTO = Setting dependent on the control unit (Factory setting).
1. Press the f key 1 times. The symbol Q flashes.
2. Press the f key a second time. The symbol ECO flashes.
3. To confirm, press the S key.
4. The current operating status is shown on the display:AUTO.
5. Use the + and - keys to change the parameter value.
6. To confirm, press the S key.
7. Press the > key 2 times to return to the current operating
mode.
It also possible to modify this setting using the parameter
