2.5 Electrical Connections
The unit must be installed in conformity with current national and local regulations.
Connection to the electrical Supply
The boiler must be connected to a single-phase, 230 Volt-50 Hz electric supply.
The unit’s electrical safety is only guaranteed when correctly connected to an efficient earthing
system executed according to current safety standards. Have the efficiency and suitability of the
earthing system checked by professionally qualified personnel. The manufacturer is not responsible
for any damage caused by failure to earth the system. Also make sure that the electrical system
is adequate for the maximum power absorbed by the unit, as specified on the boiler dataplate,
in particular ensuring that the cross sectional area of the system’s cables is suitable for the power
absorbed by the unit.
The boiler is prewired and provided with a cable and fitted with a 3 amp plug for connection to the
electricity supply.
Water treatment
If treatment is used ferroli limited recommended only the use of Fernox or Sentinel water treatment

not
be used without prior consultation with the local Gas supplier.
A gas meter can only be connected by the Local Gas supplier, or by a Local Gas suppliers Contractor.
Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with BS6891.
Appliance inlet
working pressure
must be 20mbar MINIMUM, for NG and 37 mbar minimum for LPG.
Do not use pipes of a smaller size than the boiler inlet gas connection (22 mm).
The complete installation must be tested for gas soundness and purged as described in BS689.
All pipework must be adquately supported. An isolating gas valve is provided and should be
fitted on the boiler gas inlet. Please wait 10 minutes when lighting from cold before checking
gas rate. Gas pressures should be checked after the boiler has operated for 10 minutes to reach
thermal equilibrium. This appliance has no facility to check the burner pressure and the gas
valve is sealed and should not be adjusted. A combustion test can be carried out (see page 28
combustion analyser testing).
The isolation kit shown in Fig. 11 is supplied as standard.
