S.p.A. 1. DESCRIPTION 1.01 Introduction RENDIMAX CE boilers are heat generators for central heating and domestic hot water production. The standard version is designed to work with natural gas. To use the boiler with L.P.G., on-site conversion must be carried out following the instructions given below.

S.p.A. Connection between boiler and chimney has to be sealed. The rated flow rate of gas counter has to be sufficient for the whole connected appliance. Be careful that the boilers connections are free of mechanical tensions. Connect the gas using a rigid pipe and including a gas cock. The boiler must be connected to a 230 Volt - 50 Hz single phase line (phase/neutral) by means of terminal board of approved socket.

S.p.A. 3.02 Checking and controlling the evacuation of combustion products (total security) The boiler is fitted with a FLUE GAS THERMOSTAT . This thermostat prevents gas from reaching the burner if the flue is not drawing properly, providing greater security and control over the discharge of combustion products.

IGNITION AND SHUT-DOWN 4.01 Checks to carry out before igniting for the first time When igniting the boiler for the first time, it is good practice to check: - that the gate valves between the boiler and system are open;...
S.p.A. Keep gas valve button 2 pushed down for 20 seconds then let it up slowly checking that the pilot burner remains lit. If it goes out, wait 30 seconds then repeat the ignition operation. Set the button 3 as shown in the fig. 3 Turn on the electricity to the boiler.

S.p.A. 4.04 Igniting the boiler with SIT NOVA gas valve(fig 7b) Position the boiler thermostat 1 (fig. 2) on minimum. Open the gas cock and vent the air present in the tube upstream from the gas valve by opening the pressure point screw pos4.
S.p.A. 4.05 Temporary shut-down To temporarily shut down the boiler, just position the main switch 6 on the “0” position.All the electrical part remain not energized and only the pilot burner remain alight. 4.06 Prolonged shut-down Push the button 4 (fig 6), turn clockwise the knob 1 (fig 7a) or turn the knob 1 in the position “C” (Fig. 7b).

To adjust the pilot flame operate on the screw 2 (fig.

S.p.A. 5.08 Heat output variability characteristics To adjust furnace heat input, simply regulate the main burner via the gas valve (fig. 8). This in turn varies the heat output to the C.H. water. The diagrams in Fig. 9a and 9b show the variations in heat output to the water in relation to variations in burner working pressure.
S.p.A. 6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING The following operations must be carried out by qualified personnel only. The boiler requires no particular maintenance other than general control of boiler and chimney once a year.Each three years the at the end of heating season boiler burner and chimney has to be cleaned. 6.01 Seasonal control of boiler and flue Once a year before the heating season, the following controls should be carried out: - the burner and boiler body and chimney should be clean.

S.p.A. 6.03 Cleaning the boiler and burner To clean the boiler and burner , proceed as follows: a) turn off the gas and the electricity supply upstream of the boiler. b) take out the boiler cover and the draft diverter cover (fig.11). c) disconnect the electric power supply cable to the valve.
S.p.A. 7.TROUBLE SHOOTING Pilot burner fails to ignite No gas Open the gas cock Air in the pipes vent as described in the section on ignition Pilot nozzle blocked Clean the nozzle with compressed air Insufficient gas flow Adjust flow using the screw on the valve Pilot goes out Faulty thermocouple Control or replace the thermocouple...

S.p.A. Incorrect flame regulation Check flow rate at the gas meter and pressure at the main burner Boiler functions, but temperature fails to rise Incorrect flame adjustment Check gas consumption is normal Boiler dirty Check and clean the boiler body Boiler inadequate Check that the boiler is the right size for the C.H.
