Instructions pertaining to the installer
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, on models withis option, to a domestic hot
water supply system in compliance with its performances and output power.
IMPORTANT!
The gas boiler is supplied without the following components witch must be performed
exclusively by qualified personnel:
• Expansion vessel;
• Pressure relief valve;
• Circulating pump;
• Boiler filling tap.
Before connecting the boiler have the following operations effected:
a) careful checking that the boiler is fit 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 flue terminal draft is appropriate; that the terminal is not obstructed and
that no other appliance exhaust gases are expelled through the same flue duct, unless the flue is
especially designed to collect the exhaust gas coming from more than one appliance, in conformity
with the laws and regulations in force.
c) careful checking that, in case the flue has been connected to pre-existing flue ducts, thorough
cleaning has been carried out in that residual combustion products may come off during operation
of the boiler and obstruct the flue duct.
To ensure correct operation of the appliance and avoid invalidating the guarantee, 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 system responding to current regulations.
2.
Heating circuit
2.1.
new system
Before proceeding with installation of the boiler, the system must be cleaned and flushed
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. To use this product proceeding
strictly in accordance with the maker’s directions.
2.2.
existing system
Before proceeding with installation of the boiler, the system must be cleaned and flushed out
to remove sludge and contaminants, using suitable proprietary products as described in section
2.1.
9. Instructions prior to instal-
lation
The following remarks and instructions are addressed to Service Engineers to help them carry out a
faultless installation. Instructions regarding lighting and operation of the boiler are contained in the
‘Instructions pertaining to the user’ section.
Note that installation, maintenance and operation of the domestic gas appliances must be performed
exclusively by qualified personnel in compliance with current standards.
Please note the following:
* This boiler can be connected to any type of convector plates, radiators, thermoconvectors. Design
the system sections as usual though taking into account the available output / pump head perfor-
mances.
* Do not leave any packaging components (plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) within children’s reach
as they are a potential source of danger.
* Initial lighting of the boiler must be effected by a Qualified Service Engineer.
Failure to observe the above will render the guarantee null and void.
