HANDLING Once you have removed the outer packaging, proceed as follows to unpack and handle the boiler - Remove the screws fixing the boiler to the pallet. - Remove the front panel - Lift the boiler by inserting two 3/4" diameter pipes (1) through the lifting holes (2) in the boiler body. Wear suitable personal protective equipment and use suitable safety devices.
PLACE OF INSTALLATION g N - NK boilers from size 5 to 10 must be installed If the specific weight of the gas supply to the bur- in dedicated boiler rooms. ner is greater than the specific weight of air, install The boiler room must have adequately sized vents, and all electrical parts at least 500 mm above floor level.

MODEL DESCRIPTION Ø - D g NK The stack must guarantee the minimum draught Uninsulated flue pipes are potentially dangerous...
FILLING AND EMPTYING THE SYSTEM r g boilers must be fitted with a central hea- ting circuit filling system connected to the boiler return line. FILLING THE SYSTEM - Make sure that the central heating drain cock (1) and storage cylinder drain cock (2) (NK models) are closed before you start filling the system.
Page 36
EMPTYING THE SYSTEM Switch the electricity supply OFF at the system’s main switch and turn the control panel function selector to OFF (I) before starting to empty the boiler or storage cylinder. - Close the shut-off cocks for the water circuit - Connect plastic hoses (5) to the hose unions on the boiler drain cock (1) and/or storage cylinder drain cock (2) (NK models).
PREPARING FOR FIRST START-UP It is essential to perform the following checks before star- ting up or testing the functioning of r g boiler. In particular: - Check that the fuel shut-off cock and heating system shut-off cock are open - Check that the water pressure gauge shows a pressure over 1 bar with the system cold.
Page 38
- Turn the function selector to ON (II) and make sure that the green power indicator lights. r g boiler will now start up and the burner will remain lit until the set temperature is reached If any ignition faults or malfunctions occur, the burner performs a 'LOCKOUT SHUTDOWN'.
CHECKS DURING AND AFTER INITIAL START-UP Once the boiler has started up, make sure that it shuts down and re-starts properly when the following actions are taken: - The boiler thermostat setting is changed - The function selector is moved from position (II) to (I) and back - The room thermostat or timer setting is changed.
TEMPORARY SHUTDOWN If you are going to be away for a short period of time like a weekend or a short holiday, etc., and outdoor tempera- tures are above ZERO, proceed as follows. - Turn the function selector to OFF (I) and make sure that the green power indicator goes out - Turn the system's main power switch OFF.
MAINTENANCE Regular maintenance is a legal requirement. In Italy it is required by Presidential Decree 412 of the 26th August 1993. It is also essential for the safety, efficiency and durability of the boiler. Proper maintenance keeps con- sumption and emissions down, and ensures that the boiler continues to operate reliably over time.
CLEANING THE BOILER Clean the boiler and remove any carbon deposits from the surfaces of the heat exchanger at least once a year. This not only extends the boiler's working life, but also keeps it efficient in terms of heat output and con- sumption.
CLEANING THE STORAGE CYLINDER ONLY FOR g NK MODELS The storage cylinder should be serviced once a year to check the condition of the internal parts and the magne- sium anode, as well as for cleaning purposes. Perform the following operations before beginning any cleaning: - Remove the top panel (1) - Close the shut-off cocks for the domestic hot water cir-...
