INSTRUCTIONS FOR 
INSTALLATION

3.1-  GENERAL WARNINGS

ATTENTION!
This boiler is intended solely for the use for 
which it was expressly designed. Any other 
use is to be considered improper and there-
fore dangerous.
This boiler heats water at a temperature 
lower than the atmospheric pressure boiling 
temperature.

ATTENTION! 
The appliances are designed to be installed 
inside suitable rooms or technical spaces 
only. The appliances cannot be installed or 
operate outdoors. Outdoor installation can 
cause malfunctioning and be dangerous. 
Choose specifically designed appliances for 
outdoor installation.

Before connecting the boiler, have professionally 

qualified personnel:
a)  Thoroughly wash all the piping of the system 

to remove any residue or impurities which 
could jeopardise proper operation of the 
boiler;

 

b)  Check that the chimney/flue has an appropri-

ate draught, without any bottlenecks, and that 
no exhausts from other appliances are in-
serted, unless the flue has been implemented 
to accommodate several utilities according to 
specific standards and prescriptions in force. 
Only after this check can the fitting between 
the boiler and chimney/flue be mounted;

ATTENTION!

The appliance must be installed by a qualified 
technician with the technical-professional 
requirements according to law 37/08 which, 
under his own responsibility, guarantees 
compliance with the standards according to 
good practice rules.

The boiler must be connected to a central heat-
ing system and/or domestic hot water production 
network compatible with its efficiency and output.

3.2 - INSTALLATION STANDARDS 

It must be installed by a professionally qualified technician, 

who 

shall take the responsibility of observing all local and/or 
national laws published in the official journal, as well as 
applicable technical standards.

3.3 - INSTALLATION ON 
 

  OLD OR RETROFITTABLE SYSTEMS

Before installing this appliance on old systems, check that:

-  The flue is able to withstand the temperature generated by 

the combustion products, has been measured and designed 
according to the regulations in force, is airtight and insulated, 
and does not feature obstructions or constrictions.

-  The flue has a device for releasing condensation.

-  The electrical system has been set up by a qualified techni-

cian in compliance with the rules in force.

-  The rate, head and direction of the flow of the circulation 

pumps are appropriate.

-  The expansion vessel(s) can fully absorb dilation of the 

fluid in the system.

-  The expansion vessels can fully absorb dilation of the fluid 

in the system.

-  The system has been cleaned and cleared of all sludge 

and scale, has been vented, and all its seals have been 
checked.

-   There is a water supply treatment/recirculation system.
