First starting up and Use The first starting up and the maintenance of the boiler must be performed by a professionally qualified staff (for example the installer or the Service Centres authorized by ITALTHERM) The latter will check that: f the label technical data of the gas boiler correspond to those of the gas available;...
f Do not expose the wall hung gas boiler to water or other liquids sprinklings, or to vapours directly coming from gas cookers/hobs. f Do not obstruct the air inlet or flue outlet terminals, even momentarily or partially. f Do not put any object on the gas boiler and don't leave any flammable liquid or solid materials, (e.g. paper, clothes, plastic, polystirene) in its proximity.
User guide The front control panel Electrical Supply Indicator Light green Off - boiler not electrically supplied. Blinking - boiler electrically supplied, but not active because the knob 12 is on . On - boler active. Knob 12 on , or on along the scale Flashing with short pulses - actuated for mistake, by the user, a function reserved to the technician.
Position on which the knob 12 should be positioned to turn the boiler off or to reset a boiler block. Position on which the knob 12 should be positioned to activate the boiler in Winter mode (both Heating and Domestic Hot Water functions available) (attention: only if the Remote Control Kit is not installed).
On trade are available programmable room thermostats: most of them allow to make a weekly programming of various temperature levels, besides special programs for various purposes. We suggest to choose original ITALTHERM accessories. Typical use Preliminary operations f Firstly, the knob 12 should be on the position ...
Temperature adjustment Note: correct adjustment leads to creating the conditions for energy saving. f Heating system adjustment: by rotating the knob 12 along the scale 10, the setting of the heating system temperature is made (the value, during the adjustment, is shown on the display 5). Generally, in the deep cold season and/or with poor building thermal insulation (or if you notice that the burner stays on for a long time, but the room temperature rises too slowly) prefer higher settings.
Boilers must be always equipped with original accessories only. ITALTHERM Srl is not responsible for damages caused by the incorrect, wrong or unreasonable use of not original materials. The burner doesn’t turn on f if the room thermostat (or programmable room thermostat, or similar) is installed, check that it is really requiring the room heating;...
• completely empty the hot and cold sanitary water system, including the sanitary circuit and the tank of the domestic water storage. Remark: the boiler is equipped with a system which protects the main components from the excep- tional cases of mechanical lock, due to the inactivity in presence of water and scale. The anti- locking function can’t work in Safety shut off mode, because of the lack of electrical supply.
“Ambient Anti-Frost” Function If the building relevant to the boiler remains unoccupied during cold weather periods, you should con- sider the chance to extend the protection against freezing to the whole heating system (and therefore to the rooms) besides the boiler itself. Also for this function, the boiler must be receiving gas and elec- tricity, and the system pressure must be correct.

ITALTHERM S.r.l. will not be held responsible for consequent damages. Instruct the User about the antifreeze function of the boiler and about the antifreeze product added in the heating system.
Siphon overflow drain The boiler’s siphon is equipped with a supplementary safety discharge SCD that protects the burner in the very situation in which the condense does not from correctly from the drain pipe downstream from the siphon. Since this is easily accessible from the rear of the boiler, evaluate the opportunity to use it or not before installing the boiler, by connecting to it a section of flexible hose 1 suitable for condense.

f If the metal jig is used, hang it on the wall using the same wallplugs or hooks and the holes or slots indicated in the figure ( A for the plugs and B for the open hooks). f Fix up the connections and all ducts for heating flow and return, cold water, hot water, gas and electrical cables, predisposing them in the holes of the metal jig or respecting the measures in the paragraph "Dimensions and connections"...
(consider that 1 mm of limestone incrustations reduces of 18% the thermal exchange of the heating element on which it has been formed). ITALTHERM guarantees its products only if the characteristics of the water comply with UNI 8065, re- ported also in laws on energy saving.
System filling and pressuring Once all system connections have been carried out, proceed with the filling of the heating system and of the DHW storage. This operation should be made with care, respecting the following steps: The operations to completely purge the air from the heating system and from the storage coil, require the activation of the boiler, therefore the final purging must be performed, by qualified technicians, during the first starting up.
Gas connection Due to various installation possibilities, the gas cock 3 supplied with the original Connections Kit has a sim- ple male Ø ½” connection, facing the rear of the boiler. The gas pipe 4, upstream the gas cock 3, should be sup- plied by the installer.
ITALTHERM S.r.l. declines any responsibility for damages to persons, animals or things caused by the faulty or missing connection of the boiler earthing and by failure to comply with the rules.
General indications To grant the functionality and efficiency of the appliance it is indispensable to realize inlet and outlet ducts using flue accessories specific for condensing boilers. WARNING: the specific flue accessories components for condensing boilers, especially the parts which are in touch with the flues inlet, are so projected because they are made with plastic ma- terials acids resistant, but because of their nature, they are not suitable to resist to the higher temperature of the flues of the traditional boilers.
Dimensioning the inlet and outlet ducts In the list that follows, you will the characteristic losses of load of the original fume venting accessories, expressed as equivalence in meters (m). Se fossero previsti accessori di fumisteria originali aggiuntivi rispetto a quelli raffigurati, nel cal- colo della lunghezza totale devono essere considerate le relative perdite di carico equivalenti, espresse come equivalenza in metri (m) nell’elenco seguente.

Examples of installation of inlet and outlet ducts We give you some correct and wrong examples of installation of inlet and outlet ducts for condensing boilers (the slope are voluntarily represented in an exaggerated way). A = Inlet; S = Outlet. 1: the most functional and economic solution is to let the condense come back towards the boiler.
Adjustment and Maintenance WARNING: Hereby described operation can be performed by qualified technicians only. When regulation/measuring is over, remember to tighten pressure tapping point screws and to verify the absent of gas leakages only from net pressure plug (PIN, see the picture of the gas valve) and from the connection upwards the gas valve.
f verify the presence of the permanent air/ventilation outlets, correctly dimensioned and working, as foreseen by the National and Local laws depending on the appliances installed; f verify that the evacuation flue duct corresponds to the National and Local laws and that is in good and efficient conditions;...
f verify the correct functioning of the system of the outlet condense, also in the external parts of the boilers, i.e. the eventual condense collector installed on the flue outlet: verify that the liquid flow is not obstructed and that there are not inlets of gaseous combustion products inside the system itself; f verify that the conditions for the air inlet are granted, in case of a boiler placed inside a piece of furniture;...
Venting the primary exchanger When commissioning and cleaning the combus- tion unit, it is a good idea to check that there is no air in the primary circuit of the combustion unit and, if necessary, to eliminate it by opening the valve 4 located on the top of the unit.
11. repeat steps 4. to 10. performing several working cycles and coil venting, both in heating and DHW mode, until all the air has been vented from the primary coil of the storage, and the noise caused by the air ends. 12.
Do not disassemble the burner group and do not dismount the ceramic fibre plate from the bot- tom of the exchanger. f check the integrity of the insulating coverings inside the combustion chamber; f on the burner cover, check the integrity of the fireproof fibre gasket and of the silicone rubber one; f check that the burner do not present deposits, foulings or excessive oxidations and that all the holes are free;...

Addendum Outdoor Sensor Kit Installation and setting The Outdoor Sensor manages automatically the CH flow temperature** as a function of the outdoor temperature, thus avoiding the user to adjust it manually. This function is also named "shifting tempera- ture". that's the temperature of the heating elements. Don't mistake it with the room temperature (managed by the room thermo- stat or by the Remote Control, but not by the boiler) that doesn't depend on the first one.
Remote Control Kit This remote control is more than a simple room thermostat. Thanks to this, it is possible to manage the boiler in all its set- tings like DHW and CH temperature adjustment, boiler reset in case of boiler block, and of course it works as a room thermo- stat both in manual and weekly program mode.
