INSTALLATION
To move the boiler manually, proceed as follows:
− Remove the fixing screws (C) to free the boiler from the
pallet;
− Lift the boiler by inserting two 1" diameter pipes (2)
through the lifting holes (3) in the boiler body.

Take care because the boiler might swing when lifted.
Provided the floor is smooth and level, the boiler can be lifted a
little (1) and moved on wheels (2).

Installation premises
GITRÈ
boilers must be installed in rooms with suitably sized air
vents conforming to the technical standards and regulations
applicable at the place of installation.
9
When installing the boiler, allow sufficient space around it
to access all safety and control devices and to permit easy
maintenance.
9
Check that the appliance's electrical protection level is suit-
able for the place of installation.
9
Make sure that comburent air is not contaminated by sub-
stances containing chlorine or fluorine (elements found in
sprays, paints, detergents etc.).
0
These boilers must be installed indoors. They are not de-
signed for outside use.
0
Do not obstruct or restrict the air vents in the room where
the boiler is installed. A free air supply is essential for correct
combustion.

Installation in older systems and systems
requiring modernisation
When installing these boilers in older systems or systems requir-
ing modernisation, always perform the following checks:
− Make sure that the flue is able to withstand the tem-
perature of the combustion gases and that it has been
designed and made in compliance with applicable
standards. The flue must also be as straight as possible,
sealed, insulated and not blocked or choked. Refer to the
"Combustion gas exhaust" section on page 20 for further
information.
− Make sure that the electrical supply system has been in-
stalled by a qualified electrician in compliance with ap-
plicable standards
− Make sure that the fuel feed line and any storage tank
are made and installed in compliance with applicable
standards
− Make sure that expansion vessels are big enough to con-
tain the additional volume generated by thermal expan-
sion
− Make sure that the flow rate, head and direction of flow
of the pumps are suitable and correct
− Make sure that the central heating circuit has been
flushed out to remove all sludge and lime scale, and that
it has been bled and seal tested
− Make sure that a suitable water treatment system is in-
stalled if the quality of the supply/recirculation water so
demands. (Refer to the reference values on page 22); See
Riello S.p.A.’s Catalogue
