During installation, a choice can be made between a ‘room sealed’ or ‘open flued’ system. The standard two pipe (eccentric) connections can be easily converted using the Mikrofill adaptor. The flue gas discharge outlet and air intake system should be installed by a competent installer according to applicable national and local standards and specifications.

IN ST AL LA TION SHUT-OFF VALVES It is recommended that manual valves should be installed between the flow and return connections to the installation. VALVES (BOILERS IN CASCADE ARRANGEMENT) To prevent water flow through non-firing boilers, and hence unnecessary heat loss, a spring loaded non-return valve may be installed on the return pipework external to the boiler.
INS TAL LA TI O N WATER HARDNESS Water hardness levels are caused by dissolved minerals in the water and will vary geographically. The harder the water, the more likely that problems with precipitation (limescale deposits) will occur, causing permanent damage to the boiler and associated equipment.

C OM MISS IONING MAXIMUM LOAD ADJUSTMENT Press and hold the button for three seconds until the below display appears, the boiler will then start to operate at minimum load. To adjust to maximum rate, press and hold until the below display appears, the boiler will then start to operate at maximum load.
CO M M I S S I ON I N G SETTING THE CO VALUE FOR THE ETHOS RANGE • Any adjustments should only be carried out by competent persons. • After adjustment of the gas valve the adjusters must be resealed. There is a setting screw on the gas valve with which the CO value can be set at maximum load.
After the conversion, the CO value should be set at full and minimum fire. For the ETHOS 70, 110 and 130 it is only necessary to change the CO values on the gas valve at full and minimum fire.
CA S C A DE S E T - UP CASCADE TEST MODE • Press and hold the buttons together for three seconds. • This will send a request to the master boiler to fire all slave boilers. • This can be increased to 100% by pressing the button until the display below is shown.
The frequency of maintenance will depend upon the installation condition and usage, but should still be carried out at least annually. Mikrofill Systems Ltd. does not accept liability resulting from the use of unauthorised components for the repair and maintenance of appliances not in the companies recommendations and specifications.
