1 DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
1.1
Characteristics
Brava Slim BF
are last generation low temperature wall mount-
ed boilers which
Sime
has produced for heating and domestic
hot water production. The main design choices made by
Sime
for
the
Brava Slim BF
boilers are:
– the atmospheric burner combined with a copper heat ex-
changer for heating and a rapid heat exchanger for DHW
– the sealed combustion chamber which can be classified "Type
C" or "Type B" in relation to the room where the boiler is in-
stalled, depending on the smoke outlet configuration adopted
during installation
– the command and control microprocessor electronic board
provides efficient management of both heating and hot wa-
ter production. It can also be connected to a remote control
with an Open Therm protocol or to room thermostat and/or
external sensor. If connected to an external sensor, the boiler
temperature varies on the basis of the external temperature
according to a selected optimal climatic curve providing sig-
nificant energy and economic savings.
Other special features of the
Brava Slim BF
boilers are:
– the anti-freeze function which activates automatically if the
temperature of the water inside the boiler falls below the
threshold of the value set at parameter "PAR 10" and , if there
is an external sensor, if the external temperature falls below
the threshold of the value set at parameter "PAR 11"
– the anti-blocking function of the pump and diverter valve, this
activates automatically every 24 hours if no request for heat
has been made
– the chimney sweep function lasts 15 minutes and makes the
job of the qualified technician easier when measuring the pa-
rameters and combustion efficiency and when checking gas
pressure at the nozzles
– domestic hot water comfort function which allows the time
necessary for the hot water to become available to be reduced
and ensures that the temperature is stable
– screen display of the operating and self-diagnostic parame-
ters with error code display when the fault occurs. This makes
repair interventions easier and allows appliance operation to
be restored correctly.
1.2
Check and safety devices
The
Brava Slim BF
boilers are equipped with the following check
and safety devices:
– thermal safety sensor 100°C
– 3 bar relief valve
– heating water pressure transducer
– delivery sensor
– DHW sensor.
d
IT IS FORBIDDEN
to commission the appliance with safety devices which
do not work or which have been tampered with.
a
WARNING
Safety device may only be replaced by professional
qualified personnel using
Sime
original spare parts.
1.3
Identification
The
Brava Slim BF
boilers can be identified by means of:
1 Packaging label:
this is located on the outside of the packag-
ing and provides a code, the serial number of the boiler and
the bar code
2 Technical Data Plate:
this is located inside the front panel of
the boiler and provides the technical specification, appliance
performance and any other information required by law.

CAUTION
Tampering with, removing or failing to display the
identification plate or carrying out any other operation
which does not allow safe identification of the product
or which may hinder installation and maintenance op-
erations.
