- Fit the bottom front partition (14) between the screws in the burner manifold brackets and the cast iron body. Fix the partition to the panels (9) and (12) using two self-tap- ping 7SP x 1/2” screws. - Fix the top front partition (15) to panels (8-11) and partition (14) using four self-tap- ping 7SP x 1/2”...
Water connections Novella MAXIMA boilers are designed and made for use in central heating instal- lations, but can also be used for domestic hot water production if connected to suitable systems. The specifications of the water fittings are as follows. MI - Central heating flow 2'' (M) RI - Central heating return...
Water-side pressure drop Novella MAXIMA boilers come without a pump. A pump must therefore be provided as part of the installation. In order to choose a pump of the right size, bear in mind the boiler’s water-side pressure drop, as shown in the figure below. 1 129 N RAI 2 151 N RAI 3 172 N RAI...
Flue gas vent and air intake Flues and stack connections must be made in conformity to all applicable local and national laws and standards. Use of heat resistant, condensate resistant Ø e and stress resistant rigid pipe and sealed joints is mandatory. Novella MAXIMA boilers are equipped with a flue gas thermostat, located inside the hood.
Proceed as follows to fit the electric power panel (Fig. 3.17): - Remove the cover (1) from the power panel (2) and fit the panel to the bottom front par- tition (3) with the screws provided. - Connect the two sockets (4, 5) to the plugs from the control panel.
- Fix the flue gas thermostat sensor (4) to the flue gas hood (5) using two of the holes provided (Fig. 3.20). Fig. 3.20 - Insert the cable (6) through the cable grom- met in the rear of the control panel and con- nect it to terminals 10 and 11, having first removed the bridge (7) (Fig.
Filling and emptying the sys- Novella MAXIMA boilers require a filling pipe connected to the central heating circuit return pipe. It is forbidden to fill or top up the central heating circuit while the boiler is func- tioning. Doing so may cause serious damage to the boiler.
STARTUP AND FUNCTIONING Preliminary checks It is essential to perform the following checks - Check that the central heating circuit pres- before starting up or testing the functioning of sure gauge shows a pressure of 1.5 bar with the boiler. In particular: the system cold.

If any ignition or functioning errors occur, the boiler shuts down and a red LED on the con- trol panel comes on to indicate this. Burner controller lockout Burner lockout is indicated by the light but- ton (8, Fig. 4.5) on the controller coming on. Proceed as follows to restore normal start-up conditions.
Final checks Once your Novella MAXIMA boiler has start- ed up, make sure that it shuts down and re-starts properly when the following actions are taken: - The boiler’s control thermostat is turned down (5, Fig. 4.9) Fig. 4.9 - The power switch on the control panel is switched OFF (Fig.

Conversion from one gas type to another The boiler comes pre-configured for use with Conversions must only be performed G20 natural gas. It can, however, be convert- by a Technical Assistance Centre or by ed for use with G30 or G31 gas using nozzle authorised personnel, even after the kits available separately.
4.5.1 Adjusting gas pressure Pressures have to be adjusted in a specific order. Always adjust maximum pressure first and then minimum pressure (Fig. 4.17): Adjusting maximum pressure Proceed as follows to adjust maximum pres- sure. - Connect a column or dial type pressure gauge to the pressure measurement point on the burner manifold.
SHUTTING DOWN THE BOILER Temporary shut-downs If you are going away for a short period of time like a weekend or a short holiday, etc., and outdoor temperatures are going to remain above ZERO, proceed as follows. - Turn the boiler’s control panel power switch OFF (0) (Fig.
MAINTENANCE Regular maintenance is essential for the safety, efficiency and durability of the boiler. Proper maintenance keeps consumption and emissions down, and ensures that the prod- uct continues to operate reliably over time. Have your boiler serviced either by a Technical Assistance Centre or by a qualified heating engineer.

INTERNAL CLEANING At the end of the cold season, proceed as fol- lows to clean and check the boiler (Fig. 6.4). - Disconnect power to the electric power panel. - Remove the casing door (2) and the base (1). - Release the top front panel (3) and hook it over the pins beneath.
TROUBLESHOOTING CAUSE SOLUTION FAULT Check that all joints are tight and Gas supply circuit. There is a smell of gas. that the pressure measurement points are closed. Check: There is a smell of fumes. Leaks from the flue gas circuit. - That all joints are tight.
