METAL-FACH Heating Technology mechanical ventilation, activated periodically during fuel filling and slagging of boilers, ensuring a minimum of 10 full air changes per hour; ● natural lighting shall be provided in the boiler room, illuminating the boiler from the front, and the window area shall be a minimum of 1/15 of the boiler room floor area;...
Page 20
METAL-FACH Heating Technology NOTE! Mechanical exhaust ventilation should not be used in the boiler room. NOTE! Ensuring a sufficient supply of fresh air into the boiler room will enable efficient combustion of the fuel. NOTE! Excessive carbon dioxide in the room should be prevented.
METAL-FACH Heating Technology Boiler installation (User | Installer) An important part of the assembly is a proper setting and leveling of the boiler of SD DUO BIO type, these boilers do not require special foundations. Boiler leveling is facilitated by adjustable feet. The boiler must stand vertically.
Page 22
METAL-FACH Heating Technology The boiler should be placed on a heat insulating non-flammable base, which on each side of the boiler should be larger than the base of the boiler by 2 cm. If the boiler is located in a cellar, it is recommended that it is placed on a foundation of at least 5 cm.
METAL-FACH Heating Technology Connection of the boiler to the heating system (Installer) Boiler connection to the central heating system should be performed by a firm authorized by the manufacturer and the fact of a proper connection should be confirmed on a guarantee card attached to this manual. Boiler should be connected according to producer recommendations, in accordance with this manual.

METAL-FACH Heating Technology Connection of the boiler to a closed heating system (Installer) When installing the boiler in a closed heating system, it is important to use elements protecting the system against overheating, excessive pressure increase and to use a controller regulating the temperature during the combustion process.
Page 29
METAL-FACH Heating Technology The coil mounted on the system feed is connected to a cold water pipe, which flows through it only when a thermal valve with a sensor immersed in the boiler feed opens when the set temperature is exceeded. The water passes through the coil and removes heat from the boiler water jacket, before being discharged into a cooling sump, as diverting the hot water directly into the sewer pipes could damage them.

METAL-FACH Heating Technology VST 112 valve The emergency extinguishing device, which prevents ignition of the fuel in the storage tank, can also be connected to the water supply system and if the set temperature is exceeded, the extinguishing device opens the water valve and operates independently of the electrical supply.
METAL-FACH Heating Technology Requirements for the expansion vessel (Installer) Each open system heating system should be fitted with an expansion vessel whose function is to take up the increase in volume of the water filling the system and to vent. This vessel should be installed at the highest point of the system, if possible in a vertical line above the boiler(s).
The first start-up of the boiler must be carried out only by a service technician trained by the manufacturer, with a valid certificate of METAL-FACH Authorised Service Provider, METAL-FACH Distributor or a person holding a SEP license up to 1,5 kW. NOTE!
