5.2. Initial start–up of the boiler
ATTENTION!
The boiler requires precise regulation!
The initial start–up may be conducted solely by the Authorised Service Centre. This
operation is paid, while the Authorised Service Centre must make the requisite
entries and duly stamp the Guarantee Card and the Initial Start–up Card, which shall
be countersigned by the user.
In order to carry out the start–up of the boiler, it is necessary to:
Place and connect the boiler in accordance with the guidelines set forward in the
present instruction.
Connect the supplied burner, controller and fuel feeding mechanism as described in
their respective instruction manuals.
Fill the boiler and the system with water. Carefully deaerate the boiler and the system.
Before start–up, check the proper functioning and leaktightness of individual
components of the boiler, burner and system.
If a circulation pump is installed, it should be activated now.
Pour fuel into the storage bin. Close the cover, paying particular attention to its proper
adherence.
Activate the controller and the burner, and proceed in accordance with the data given
in the instruction manuals delivered together with these two devices.
During initial start–up there may occur the phenomenon of boiler sweating. In this
event it will be necessary to intensify the combustion process in order to attain a
temperature of 70–80ºC at the boiler in order to dry off and properly heat up both the
boiler and the flue duct. This phenomenon may reoccur over a period of approx. 2
weeks.
In order to increase the longevity of the boiler, it is recommended to maintain a water
temperature in the boiler of no less than 60ºC.
ATTENTION!
Before adding fuel to the storage bin, it is recommended to switch off the boiler.
During operation it is necessary to regularly inspect the leaktightness of the boiler,
and in particular of the connection between the boiler and the flue duct, and also to
make sure that an adequate level of water is maintained in the system.
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT!
During operation certain elements of the appliance (for example the smoke conduit)
may attain high temperatures, in excess of 100ºC. Direct contact with these elements
may result in serious burns. It is therefore necessary to exercise particular care.
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT!
Cold water may be added only when the boiler block has cooled down. It is forbidden
to cool down the hot boiler using compressed air or water, for this may cause the
block to crack.
