“This record must be completed and left with the end user”. Ferroli is a member of the Benchmark initiative and fully supports the aims of the programme. Benchmark has been introduced to improve the standards of installation and commissioning of central heating systems in the UK and to encourage the regular servicing of all central heating systems to ensure safety and efficiency.
Please read this manual carefully and keep it for future reference. FERROLI F 30 B is a high-efficiency condensing appliance for heating and hot water production run- ning on natural or liquefied petroleum gas (configurable at the time of installation) and regulated by an advanced microprocessor control system.
Ferroli F 30 B 1.2 Control panel Fig. 1 The boiler is designed for use with two types of gas: natural gas NG or propane (LPG). The type of gas can be selected when purchasing the boiler or the appliance can be converted later on site by a competent person.
Ferroli F 30 B 1.3 Operating instructions Ignition • Open the gas isolation valve upstream of the boiler. • Purge the air from the pipe upstream of the gas valve. • Ensure power is on to appliance. • Turn the switch A (fig. 1) to the ON position.
) illuminates repeatedly, contact an approved Férroli service engineer. For other faults, refer to section 3.4 “Troubleshooting.” Before calling the Ferroli service centre, check that the problem is not due to an installation error or a problem with the gas/electricity or low water pressure in the system.
Ferroli F 30 B 1.7 Time Clock A 24 hour time clock is fitted to the boiler to control the central heating, this will come into operation when the selector switch “F” is turned to the position marked “auto”. Slide switch: set clock - auto - set programme Display.
Ferroli F 30 B 2. INSTALLATION 2.1 General Instructions This device must only be used for the purpose for which it is specially designed. This unit is designed to heat water to a temperature below boiling point and must be connected to a hea- ting system and/or a water supply system for domestic use, compatible with its performance, characteristics and its heating capacity.
Ferroli F 30 B 2.2 Boiler location The unit’s combustion circuit is sealed off from the installation room. The installation room must be sufficiently well ventilated to prevent any dangerous conditions from forming in the event of even slight gas leakage. This safety standard is required by the EEC Directive no. 90/396 for all gas units, including those with a so-called sealed chamber.
Page 11
Ferroli F 30 B Make Up Water Provision must be made for replacing water lost from the sealed system. Reference should be made to BS6798, for methods of filling and making up sealed systems. There must be no direct connection between the boiler's central heating system and the mains water supply.
Ferroli F 30 B 2.3 Boiler water connections The heating capacity of the unit should be previously established by calculating the building’s heat requirement according to current regulations. For good operation and long life of the boiler, the plumbing system must be well proportioned and always complete with all those accessories that guarantee regular operation and running, room thermostat, trv’s and automatic bypass.

7 Water treatment When treatment is used Ferroli limited only recommend the use of a proprietary brand, such as Fernox or Sentinel water treatment products, which must be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. for further information contact: Fernox Manufacturing Co.
Ferroli F 30 B 2.4 Connection to the gas system If necessary the local Gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation planning stage, in order to establish the availability of an adequate supply of gas. An existing service pipe must not be used without prior consultation with the local Gas supplier.
The current standards and local regulations must be observed. It should be noted that only Ferroli flue system and accessories should be used on this appliance, as per BS 5440 2000 and C.E. test certification.

Ferroli F 30 B Restrictor For boiler operation, the restrictor supplied with the unit must be mounted following the instructions below. Determine the correct size of flue restrictor required. Before inserting the flue gas duct in the boiler, check that the restrictor fitted is correct and that it is correctly positioned (see fig. 9).
Ferroli F 30 B Connection with concentric flue system The unit can be connected to a concentric air/flue duct with a horizontal or vertical outlet as shown on the following drawings. Numerous accessories are available on request to meet the various installation requirements. Please refer to our “flue manual”...

Ferroli F 30 B Condensate discharge Where possible the condensate should discharge into an internal soil pipe or waste system. The minimum pipe diameter required is 22 mm, a trap has already been fitted to the appliance with a flexible tail to facilitate the connection to the condensate discharge pipe.
3. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE 3.1 Adjustments All adjustment and conversion operations must be carried out by a qualified and trained engineer such as a Ferroli Service Engineer. FERROLI declines any responsibility for damage or physical injury caused by unqualified and unauthorized persons tampering with the device.

Ferroli F 30 B FERROLI Limited accepts no liability for damage to property or personal injury resulting from tampering with the boiler by unauthorised persons. To convert the boiler from Nat Gas to LPG and vice versa, the main burner injectors must be replaced.
Ferroli F 30 B Close the boiler isolation gas cock and turn off the electricity to the boiler. Important: If the boiler is not to be used for lengthy periods during the winter, to avoid frost damage, you are recommended to drain the water from the circuits (domestic hot water and central heating).

Ferroli F 30 B Servicing procedure Visually check boiler for correct installation and flueing. Isolate electricity supply & check fuse is 3amp. Remove case by undoing the two screws located at the bottom rear corners, lift slightly and pull forward.
Ferroli F 30 B Cleaning the boiler and burner The body and burner must not be cleaned with chemical products or wire brushes. Special care must be taken over all the sealing systems pertaining to the sealed chamber (gaskets, cable clamps, etc.). In addition, it is necessary to pay attention after performing all these operations to check and carry out all the phases of ignition and thermostat operation, the gas valve and circulation pump.

Ferroli F 30 B The burner will light at ignition burner pressure, automatically range rating itself up to the heating load, then modulating down when the boiler reaches the desired flow temperature. When the central heating is satisfied the burner will go off and the fan stops i.e. stand-by mode.

Ferroli F 30 B MF03.1 PCB When operating the C.H. the following lights should be on: 4, 5 and flame on light. For D.H.W. the following lights should be on: 3, 5 and flame on light. If the boiler works for C.H. but not D.H.W., or vice versa, a number of components must be functioning and can, therefore, be eliminated as being at fault.

Ferroli F 30 B both are adjustable by the controls on the facia and because the boiler features automatic range rating no adjustments need to be made. Electro mechanical relays control pump operation and demand. Air pressure switch Operating at 230 V AC and situated next to the fan. Different coloured tubes connect the switch to the fan.
