Frost Protection

In cold weather the boiler may appear to run when there is no demand for heating (i.e. clocks or room 
thermostats turned off).  This is due to the central heating sensor going into frost protection mode.  Once 
the boiler has reached 14°C or more it will close down until either the temperature again falls below 7°C 
or the clock or room thermostat is turned on.

For this reason we recommend that the electricity to the boiler is left turned on.  If you wish to turn off the electricity 
to the boiler in winter you should drain completely the heating and hot water circuits.

Cleaning

The casing requires no special cleaning, a wipe with a soft duster or damp cloth will suffice.

Maintenance

Férroli recommend that the appliance is serviced 

at least once every twelve months

 by a competent 

engineer.

Gas Supply

It is the law that all gas appliances are installed and serviced by a competent person in accordance with 
the Gas Safety Regulations (Installation & Use) 1996, and the manufacturers instructions.  Failure to observe 
these requirements may lead to prosecution.

Electrical Supply

WARNING - This appliance must be earthed.

The electrical wiring must be carried out by a competent electrician.

The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings 
identifying the terminal in the plug.  Therefore, proceed as follows:

The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug marked with either the letter 
E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.  The wire coloured blue must be connected to 
the terminal marked either with the letter N or coloured black.  The wire coloured brown must be connected to 
the terminal marked either with the letter L or coloured red.

MINIMUM CLEARANCE

The minimum clearance around the appliance should be as follows:

Sides          5mm
Front          600mm
Below         200mm
Above        100mm

Boiler lock out

In the event of the red lockout light (

) coming on, the on/off/reset switch (A) should be turned clockwise against 

the spring tension to the reset position and released (this will put the boiler into three minute delay if in the heating 

mode).  If the lockout light (

) illuminates repeatedly, contact an approved Férroli service engineer.
