Instructions for the installer Installation standards This boiler must be installed in compliance with the laws and standards in force in the country of installation, which are herein consi- dered as entirely transcribed. To find out about the gas category and technical specifications, refer to operation data and general features specified in the previous pages.

DANGER Since the temperature of the walls on which the boiler is mounted and external temperature of coaxial air/flue gas system do not exceed 60°C, no minimum distance from flammable walls is to be accounted for. For boilers with split air intake and flue gas venting ducts, in the case of proximity with flammable walls and passages through walls, apply insulating material between the wall and the flue gas venting duct.
Installing the boiler DANGER Before connecting the boiler to CH and DHW networks, clean the pipes carefully. Before commissioning a NEW system, clean it to remove any metal chips due to machining and welding, and any oil and grease that might negatively affect boiler operation or even damage it in case they get inside it. Before commissioning a RECONDITIONED system (where radiators have been added, the boiler has been replaced, etc.) thoroughly clean it to remove any sludge and residues.
Air intake and flue gas venting system Flue gas discharge into the atmosphere and air intake/flue gas venting systems must comply with applicable laws and standards in the country of installation that are considered as fully transcribed herein. DANGER The boiler is equipped with a safety device for flue gas exhaustion check. It is strictly forbidden to tamper with and/or prevent operation of such safety device.

Checking combustion efficiency 3.7.1 Flue cleaning function • The boiler features a flue cleaning function which must be used to measure combustion efficiency during operation and to adjust the burner. • To activate the flue cleaning function, press and hold the buttons “Info” and “Reset” simultaneously for 5 seconds. The flow tempe- rature and the symbol are shown on the LCD.
Connection to gas mains Cross-section gas pipe size must be chosen depending on its length, layout pattern, gas flow rate. Gas supply pipe cross-section must be equal or greater than boiler gas pipe. DANGER Comply with installation standards enforced in the country where the boiler is installed which are considered as fully transcribed in this booklet.
3.9.2 Prior to installing the boiler, the hydraulic system is to be cleaned in order to remove impurities; they could be present in system com- ponents and damage the pump and the heat exchanger. Cold water inlet and DHW outlet shall be connected to the boiler through the dedicated 1/2" F and C fittings (see Fig. 7 Paper tem- plate).
3.12 Installation and operation with Open Therm Remote Control (optional) WARNING Only use original Remote Control Units supplied by the manufacturer. The correct operation of the Remote Control itself and of the boiler is not guaranteed if non original Remote Control units not supplied by the manufacturer are used.
