Actions For Cleaning Of Heat Exchanger
Water Circuit
• Disconnect the unit from the electrical power supply using
the switch and/or the special cut-off devices.
• Close the valve of Heat exchanger system supply (1) and
return (5) placed before the boiler connections.
• Release the pressure of Heat exchanger circuit by loosen the
plastic screw placed next to the Heat exchanger return (6).
• Disconnect the system piping from 3/4" NPT Heat exchanger
system supply (1) and Heat exchanger system return (5).
• Tighten the plastic screw placed next to the Heat exchanger
return (6).
• Connect the two hoses of the supply for cleaning to the 3/4"
NPT Heat exchanger system supply (1) and Heat exchanger
system return (5) connections on the bottom of the boiler.
• Fill the pump tank with water and, if necessary, with chemi-
cal conditioners. Use chemical conditioners that are able to
remove from the walls of the pipe of the heat exchanger de-
bris, lime scale, sludge, metal oxides and, in low temperature
systems, also biomass, with just the circulation of the water,
with system hot and/or cold. The products used must not be
corrosive and/or aggressive for metals and plastics and must
not significantly alter the natural pH of the water.
• The processing time must be chosen according to the amount
of deposits present in the exchanger and however such time
must always be less than the maximum treatment time speci-
fied by the manufacturer on the product data sheet.
• At the end of the cleaning cycle, empty the pump from the
washing water with chemical and recover the product in
appropriate containers for disposal.
• Fill the pump with water and perform a washing cycle in
order to remove the chemical conditioner still present within
the coils of the heat exchanger, recovering the liquid in suit-
able containers for disposal.
• Disconnect the two hoses of the pump from the 3/4" NPT
Heat exchanger system delivery (1) and Heat exchanger
system return (5) connections.
• Reconnect the system piping to 3/4" NPT Heat exchanger
system delivery (1) and Heat exchanger system return (5).
• Open the valve of Heat exchanger system supply (1) and
return (5) placed before the boiler connections.
• Reconnect the unit to the electrical power supply using the
switch and/or the special cut-off devices and turn it ON.
• Purge air from Heat exchanger water system of the boiler
as described in User Manuals for the first installation of
the boiler.
• Refill to correct pressure the Heat exchanger circuit.
• Check the correct operation of the boiler.
Procedure for chemical cleaning of
DHW circuit
Carefully read and follow the instructions contained instruction.
Chemical cleaning and maintenance must be carried out by pro-
fessionally qualified personnel, in compliance with the current

regulations and according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Do not carry out any operation on the sealed control parts.
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation,
disconnect the unit from the electrical power supply using the
switch and/or the special cut-off devices.
The disposal of chemicals and residues of chemical cleaning
should be carried out in an appropriate manner, in accordance
with current standards.
In the presence of water harder than 15 grains, use suitably treated
water in order to avoid possible scaling in the boiler.
If it is necessary a chemical cleaning of the heat exchanger to
recovery the functionality of domestic hot water production as a
result of prolonged boiler operation with untreated water and / or
very hard water feeding conditions, is allowed the use of products
for the chemical cleaning, if and only if the manufacturer of these
fluids provides a guarantee which ensures that its products are
suitable for use and cause no damage to the heat exchanger or
other components and / or materials of the boiler and potable
DHW use.
This procedure is intended as a guideline for a correct restora-
tion of the functionality of domestic hot water production after
prolonged boiler operation with untreated water and/or very hard
water feeding conditions.
