powered, press the
key (Figure 6.1
p. 39):
the symbol
will appear on the display; after
a few seconds turn off the boiler by pressing the
key again (the symbol
will appear on
the display). The circulation pump will remain in
operation for a few minutes. Repeat the operation
several times until the pressure of the circuit re-
mains unchanged.

AY 50 and AY 100
1. Slightly loosen the cap of the jolly valve located at
the top of the condensing block (detail 1, Figure
3.2
p. 19) to let the air out from the highest point of
the boiler.
2. Check that the air vent valves in the system are not
blocked.
3. Connect a rubber hose to the drain tap (detail 2, Figure
p. 19).
4. Open the drain tap (detail 2, Figure 3.2 p. 19)
counterclockwise.
5. Open the system filling tap (to be provided on the sys-
tem) and let all the air out. Close it when the air is all
out, replaced by a constant water flow.
6. Operations 1 to 5 are to be carried out on both con-
densation blocks of the AY 100 model.
7. Pressurize the hydraulic system, making sure that the
water pressure indicated by the pressure gauge is not
less than 1,5 bar.
8. Make sure that the unit is energized.
9. Send an operating request to the unit for a few sec-
onds. The circulating pump will be immediately
activated.
10. Remove the request before the burner is activated.
The circulating pump will continue to circulate the wa-
ter for the post-circulation time.
11. If, after the above operations, a decrease in system wa-
ter pressure is observed, open again the system filling
valve until the system pressure reaches 1,5 bar.
12. Repeat items 9, 10, 11 until the pressure has stabilised
(at least 1,5 bar).
13. After the operation, close the filling tap.
Once the filling operation has been completed,
close the cap of the jolly valve on the condensing
block, to avoid water leaks.
To start the circulation pump only, with the boiler
powered, press the
key (Figure 6.1
the symbol
will appear on the display; after
a few seconds turn off the boiler by pressing the
key again (the symbol
will appear on
the display). The circulation pump will remain in
operation for a few minutes. Repeat the operation
several times until the pressure of the circuit re-
mains unchanged.

Water pump air vent
How to vent the water pumps of AY appliances
1. Turn off the system by means of provided control de-
vices and wait for the water pumps to stop.
2. Disassemble the front panel of the unit.
3. Close the shut-off valve on the outlet and open the up-
per vent valve (Figure 3.3
p. 20, detail B).
4. When the air is all out, replaced by a constant flow of
water, close the upper vent valve and open the shut-
off valve on the outlet.
5. Close the shut-off valve on the inlet and open the low-
er vent valve (Figure 3.3
6. When the air is all out, replaced by a constant flow of
water, close the lower vent valve and open the shut-off
valve on the inlet.
7. Reactivate the system and let water flow (with burner
off).
8. If the air vent has been properly completed, reassem-
ble the front panel of the unit. If not, repeat the proce-
dure from step 3.
