USEFUL ADVICE

3.1

Central Heating

For reasonably economical service install a
room thermostat. Never shut off the radiator
in the area where the room thermostat is in-
stalled.
If a radiator (or a convector) does not heat up,
check that no air is present in it and that its
valve is open. If the ambient temperature is
too high, do not alter the radiator valves. Re-
duce the central heating temperature instead
by means of the room thermostat or by acting
on the 12 and 13 heating adjustment keys (Fig.
3.1).

Frost protection

The anti-freeze system and any additional pro-
tections protect the boiler from possible dam-
age due to frost.
This system does not guarantee protection of
the entire hydraulic system.
If the external temperature can reach values
lower than 0°C, it is recommended that the
entire system is activated adjusting the room
thermostat at a low temperature.
The anti-freeze function is also activated with
the boiler in stand-by (Fig. 3.2).

Therefore, when the boiler is not lit and used in
cold weather, with consequent risk of freezing
do not switch off the boiler at the fused spur
isolation switch or close the gas inlet cock.
If the boiler is deactivated, have a qualified
technician empty the boiler, the c.h. system.
3.3

Condensate drain

The condensate drain must not be modified
or blocked. Blockage of the condensate drain,
caused by debris or freezing, can cause au-
tomatic shutdown of the boiler. If freezing is
suspected and the pipe run is accessible an
attempt may be made to free the obstruction
by pouring hot water over the exposed pipe
an cleaning any blockage from the end of the
pipe.
If this fails to remedy the problem the assis-
tance of a Gas Safe registered installer or in IE
a competent person should be sought.
3.4

Periodic maintenance

For efficient and continuous operation of the
boiler, it is advisable to arrange maintenance
and cleaning by an Authorised Service Centre
Engineer, at least once a year.
During the service, the most important com-
ponents of the boiler will be inspected and
cleaned. This service can be part of a mainte-
nance contract. In particular, you are advised
to have the following checks carried out:
• condensing heat exchanger;
• burner;
• exhaust fume duct and flue;
