The following notes and instructions are addressed to fitters to allow them to carry out trouble-free installation. Instructions
for lighting and using the boiler are contained in the 'Instructions for Users' section.
Additionally, bear in mind the following:
• This boiler can be connected to any type of double- or single-pipe convector plate, radiator or thermoconvector. Design
the system sections as usual, though, bearing in mind the available flow-head at the plate, as shown in section 25.
• Do not leave any packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) within reach of children, as it is a potential source of danger.
• Initial lighting of the boiler must be carried out by an authorised Service Engineer, as indicated on the attached sheet.
Failure to observe the above will render the guarantee null and void.
12. INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
This boiler has been designed to heat water to a temperature lower than boiling point at atmospheric pressure. It must
be connected to a central heating system and to a domestic hot water supply system according to its performance and
power output.
Do the following before connecting the boiler:
a) Make sure that the boiler is adjusted to use the type of gas delivered by the gas supply. To do this, check the markings
on the packaging and the rating plate on the appliance.
b) Make sure that the flue terminal draft is appropriate, that the terminal is not obstructed and that no exhaust gases
from other appliances are expelled through the same flue duct, unless the latter has been specially designed to collect
exhaust gas from more than one appliance, in compliance with current laws and regulations.
c) Make sure that, if the boiler is connected to existing flue ducts, these have been thoroughly cleaned as residual products
of combustion may detach from the walls during operation and obstruct the flow of fumes
To ensure correct operation and maintain the warranty, observe the following precautions:
1. DHW circuit:
1.1. If the water is harder than 20 °F (1 °F = 10 mg calcium carbonate per litre of water), install a polyphosphate dispenser
or an equivalent treatment system, compliant with current regulations.
1.2. Thoroughly flush the system after installation of the appliance and before use.
1.3. The materials used for the product's DHW circuit comply with Directive 98/83/EC.
2. Heating circuit
2.1. new system
Before proceeding with installation of the boiler, the system must be cleaned and flushed to eliminate residual
thread-cutting swarf, solder and any solvents, using suitable proprietary products. To avoid damaging metal, plastic
and rubber parts, only use neutral cleaners, i.e. non-acid and non alkaline. Recommended cleaning products are:
SENTINEL X300 or X400 and FERNOX Regenerator for heating circuits. Use these products in strict compliance
with the manufacturers' instructions.
2.2. existing system
Before installing the boiler, drain the system and clean it 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 Protector for heating circuits. Use these products in strict compliance with the
manufacturers' instructions.
Remember that the presence of foreign matter in the heating system can adversely affect the operation of the
boiler (e.g. overheating and noisy operation of the heat exchanger).
Failure to observe the above will render the guarantee null and void.
