Safety Standards in force. They will be responsible for the definitive installation of the machinery and its consequent proper functioning. KLOVER srl will not be held responsible if these precautions are not respected. During installation of the appliance all local regulations, included those referring to National and European Standards, must be followed.
Do not use the appliance as incinerator or in any other way different from that for which it has been designed. Do not use fuels different to those which are recommended Do not use liquid fuels External surfaces of the appliance reach high temperatures when it is running;...

AIR VENT Dimension and position Modern houses are all equipped with hermetic fittings, which do not allow any air to pass. To burn one Kg of wood, approximately 15 m of air are required (in closed hearth boilers). If the combustion of the wood inside the combustion chamber is perfect, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO produced will be equal to that absorbed by a living plant via the “chlorophyll photosynthesis”...

If it is not possible to implement the air vent near the boiler, make a hole in a perimeter wall where the boiler is installed. If it not possible to make the external air vent in the same room where the boiler is installed, this hole can be made in an adjoining room as long as this room communicates permanently, by means of a transit hole the same diameter as the air vent.
CONNECTIONS Hydraulic connection (SICURO top models) The hydraulic connections must be made in a rational way using the connections on the boiler template. To facilitate connection of the pipes, we have prepared all hydraulic connections of the heating and domestic hot water system on the rear. The boiler can be coupled to any other boiler already installed in the system;...
Hydraulic connection (SERIE 2000 models) The boiler can be coupled to any other boiler already installed in the system; naturally it is indispensable to insert the due safety devices and shut-offs according to the system used. SERIE 2000 MODELS MUST BE INSTALLED WITH AN OPEN EXPANSION VESSEL.
IEC Standards. Connection to the power supply must be performed only after having connected wires to the terminal board. Klover srl will not be held liable for damage caused by incorrect connections or improper use of the device.
Electronic control unit Two wires come out of the control unit, one of which without a plug. The wire with a plug must be connected to an electric socket with the previously described features, while the wire without the plug must be connected to the three-way motorised valve.

POMPA VAL VOLA DESCRIPTION OF THE KEYS P1 ON/OFF the button, pressed for two consecutive seconds, allows manual switch-on/off of the control unit depending on whether it is respectively off or on. During the normal operation of the boiler, the control unit must ALWAYS be turned on.
Page 24
L2 VALVE LED The LED is on when the service thermostat has been selected. L3 AUX LED The LED is on when the service thermostat has been selected. L4 LEVEL SWITCH LED The LED is on when there is no water inside the tray or not enough water.
Page 25
FUNCTIONS ON/OFF The control unit is switched on/off by pressing and holding the P1 (ON/OFF) The OFF status is signalled by the fact that the L5 LED turns on. 2- SAFETY function: If the temperature detected by the PROBE exceeds the value of the Safety Thermostat, this forces the activation of the PUMP.

VALVE ON: for a temperature above the VALVE Thermostat AUX ON: for a temperature above the AUX Thermostat SERV ON: for a temperature above the SERVE thermostat 9- DHW function: By holding down the P2 (-) and P3 (+) buttons at the same time it is possible to activate the DHW function.
REPORTING FAULTS OR ALARMS The control unit reports faults related to the probe via a flashing message: indicates a value below the set scale (temperature below 0°C) Probe stop indicates a value above the set scale (temperature above 100°C) Probe short-circuit TECHNICAL FEATURES 230 Vac ±10%~50Hz...

by the natural draught appliance, must respond to the following requisites: Combustion products sealed, waterproof and suitably isolated and insulated in the same way as the conditions of use (cf UNI 9615); Realised with suitable materials in order to resist to normal mechanical stress, heat, action of the combustion products and in the event of condensation;...
The flue gas pipe must allow the recovery of soot or be cleanable and must have a constant section; It is prohibited to make other air intake channels and pipes for plant engineering transit inside the flue gas pipes, even if over-dimensioned.
COMMISSIONING Filling the system After having connected the boiler, fill the system as follows: Loosen the caps of any air vent valves; If necessary, very slowly loosen the pump/s vent valve cap, making the fluid flow for a few seconds; ...
Filling the boiler (SICURO top models) When the system has been filled, then fill the boiler via the float. It is recommended to install a ball valve in the boiler loading pipe in order to isolate the float if the same should break.
Ignition Perform the following operations: Before switching the boiler on, make sure that the control unit switch is on; Make sure that there is water in the system; Regulate the thermostat that controls the pump to a temperature o 55-60 °C;...
Anti-freeze protection In intensely cold periods it is good practice that the heating system remains running. In the case of prolonged absence, anti-freeze must be added to the heating water or the system must be completely emptied. Anti-freeze must also be added to water in the boiler. WATER MUST NEVER BE EMPTIED FROM THE BOILER.
Boiling (SERIE 2000 models) If for any reason (power cut, a pump fault, too much wood, etc…), the water in the boiler body reaches boiling point, carry out the following operations immediately: Open the DHW cock and let the water run until the temperature in the boiler body drops (only for specific models);...
MAINTENANCE Cleaning the body-boiler Punctual and systematic maintenance is a fundamental component for perfect functioning, excellent heat yield and duration of the appliance through time. It is therefore recommended to clean the boiler body periodically (at least twice a year). It is possible to reach all points affected by the flue gas by acting as follows: ...
Maintenance of boiler body (only mod. SICURO top) The SICURO top boiler is equipped with a special magnesium anode which protects the boiler body and copper heat exchangers from corrosion due to stray currents in the system. This anode protects from galvanic corrosion. MAGNESIUM ANODE The anode must be controlled at least once a year and replaced when its diameter measures less than 15 mm.
THE WOOD TO BURN Wood features Wood is one of the most precious materials offered by nature. For heating purposes, it must be verified that the features of the wood satisfy some important requisites that must not be ignored, the most important of which is without a doubt the correct seasoning or drying, in other words the wood must have the correct amount of humidity, around 10-15%, therefore also the...
Page 39
The calorific value of the different types of wood depends greatly on their humidity and consequently the heat output of the boiler is directly affected by the type of wood used, on average a well-seasoned wood has a calorific value of 3200 kcal/kg. Calorific value of wood depending on its humidity: % of Calorific value...

USEFUL ADVICE 1. The temperature of the thermostat that controls the pump must never be set, for any reason, below 55 °C to keep condensation from forming which could corrode the boiler interior. 2. The boiler must have a pump and the warranty becomes null and void if it is mounted without connecting the thermostat on the electric panel of the boiler.
WARRANTY CERTIFICATE KLOVER s.r.l. guarantees the quality of materials, good construction and functionality of the boiler for the duration of 5 years, under the following conditions: The boiler which, on its unquestionable judgement, has material or construction faults will be repaired or replaced; with exclusion of all cost...
