The central heating on the Fondital COMPACT may not be working because:
1. The selector is set to stand-by mode, which disables the ambient thermostat and anti-frost protection. 2. The central heating flow may have overheated, causing a shutdown indicated by a flashing red LED. 3. The water pressure may be too low, causing a shutdown indicated by a flashing yellow LED; in this case, the boiler must be refilled to 1–1.3 bars using the loading tap. 4. The gas supply may be off or interrupted; verify gas presence and reset the burner if needed.
If the issue persists after checking these, service may be required.

1.2 Operating the boiler 1.2.1 Switching on The following procedures are to be implemented only after the boiler is installed, tested and its installation is certified by a qualified fitter. • Open the gas stop cock. • connect power mains to the boiler (no. 2 LED turns on displaying the green color); •...
1.3. Boiler shut-down When any malfunction occurs, the boiler automatically shuts down. Refer to no. 1 chart (on page 6) in order to detect the boiler operation status. In order to identify plausible malfunction origin, see no. 6 paragraph “Troubleshooting” at the end of the manual. In relation to the type of malfunction, proceed as described hereafter.
1.4. Maintenance Have routine boiler maintenance performed according to the schedule indicated in the relevant section of this manual. Appropriate boiler maintenance ensures efficient operation, environment preservation, and safety for people, animals and objects. Only qualified personnel are to service the boiler. The manufacturer recommends Customers to contact authorized Service Centers for maintenance and repairs, they are best qualified for that procedure.

(**) Low temperature means for condensing boilers 30 °C, for low-temperature boilers 37 °C and for other heaters 50 °C return temperature (at heater inlet).
3. INSTRUCTIONS fOR THE INSTALLER 3.1 Installation standards The boiler is designed as II2H3+ category and is to be installed in compliance with laws and standards in force in the country of installation. 3.2. Installation Installation and maintenance procedures are to be implemented employing exclusively accessories and spare parts which are approved and supplied by the manufacturer.
3.2.3. Positioning the Boiler Each unit is supplied along with a paper template, in the package, allowing positioning the pipes connecting CH system, DHW system, gas supply, and air intake/flue gas discharge ducts to the boiler before installing the boiler itself.
3.2.4. Installing the boiler Before connecting the boiler to the CH and DHW pipe systems, clean the pipes carefully and eliminate any metal left during manufacturing and welding process, any oil or grease that may be left and that could damage the boiler or alter its operation if it reaches the boiler.
Direct emission into the atmosphere Natural draught boilers can discharge flue gas directly into the atmosphere via a duct which goes through the outside walls of the building and ends with an anti-wind gust device terminal. The flue gas exhaust duct is to comply with the following requirements: - its sub-horizontal part inside the building must be as short as possible (not longer than 1,000 mm);...
3.2.6 Checking combustion efficiency In order to check combustion efficiency, turn no. 5 knob fully clockwise and completely open one or two domestic hot water taps so that the boiler will operate at max. output. In order to verify combustion efficiency the following measurements must be implemented: •...
3.2.8. Plumbing connections Prior to installing the boiler, the hydraulic system should be cleaned in order to remove impurities; they might be present in system components and damage the pump or the heat exchanger. CENTRAL HEATING CH flow pipe and CH return pipe must be connected to their relevant 3/4” coupling on the boiler (see pic. 5). When sizing CH system pipes, bear in mind load losses caused by radiators, thermostatic valves, radiator gate valves, and the configuration of the system itself.
3.3. Loading the system Once all boiler connections have been completed, CH system can be filled. The procedure is to be cautiously carried out, following each step: - open the air purging valves on all radiators and verify the boiler automatic valve operation; - gradually open the relevant loading tap (pic.
3.5 Starting the boiler 3.5.1 Preliminary checks Before starting the boiler it is necessary to perform the following checks: - flue gas discharge pipe and its terminal are installed in accordance to the instructions: when the boiler is running no products generated by combustion are to leak from any gasket;...
