S A F E T Y G U I D E L I N E S SERVICE Should you require any assistance during installation or in the unlikely event of a product failure please do not hesitate to contact our technical department on 03452 60 60 20. GENERAL RESTRICTIONS Mikrofill products should always be used, installed and maintained in accordance with the statutory requirements, specifications and standards applicable to these installations.
D E S C R I P T I O N GENERAL The Mikrofill ETHOS floor standing boilers are environmentally friendly gas fired heating boilers with a modulation range between approximately 10% and 100% of their maximum output. The appliances have low NO CO emission, which satisfies the most stringent environmental requirements.

D E S C R I P T I O N BOILER CONTROL If there is a heat demand, and if all necessary conditions have been fulfilled and all safety devices are satisfied, the boiler will start. This heat requirement will arise if: •...
D E L I V E RY & T R A N S P O RT DELIVERY The boiler is delivered fully assembled, tested and packed. • Check the boiler for damage upon receipt. • Check whether the items delivered are correct and in accordance with the items ordered. TRANSPORT The packing should only be removed after transportation.
I N S TA L L AT I O N REGULATIONS The appliance should be installed by a competent installer in accordance with the applicable national and local standards, rules and regulations (please refer to pages 06 and 07 for safety guidelines). INSTALLATION GUIDELINES The following guidelines should be complied with;...
I N S TA L L AT I O N VENTILATION The ventilation of the installation room should conform to current gas regulations. GAS CONNECTION The gas connection is located on the rear of the appliance (see page 09). It should be installed by a competent installer in accordance with the applicable national standards.

I N S TA L L AT I O N CONTROLS AND OPTIONS The boiler features an automatic fully modulating control system and as such can be used as a ‘stand alone’ appliance. The standard controls include; • 0 - 10 V Input ready. •...
I N S TA L L AT I O N FLUE CONNECTION The flue gas discharge outlet system should be installed by a competent installer according to applicable national and local standards and specifications. Care should also be taken to ensure compliance with the Clean Air Act.
I N S TA L L AT I O N FLUE LENGTH Since the boiler is equipped with a ‘premix burner’ with a fan, an over pressure is created in the boiler. This over pressure is sufficient to overcome the resistance of the burner, the heat exchanger and the chimney. The back pressure on the boiler depends on: •...
I N S TA L L AT I O N CONDENSE CONNECTIONS The boiler includes an anti syphon condense trap enabling the condense pipework to be taken directly to drain. The condense water is slightly acidic (pH 3.0 - 5.5) and should be run in a standard drain pipe material, e.g.
I N S TA L L AT I O N SHUT-OFF VALVES It is recommended that manual valves should be installed between the flow and return connections to the installation. VALVES (BOILERS IN CASCADE ARRANGEMENT) To prevent water flow through non-firing boilers, and hence unnecessary heat loss, a spring loaded non-return valve may be installed on the return pipework external to the boiler.
I N S TA L L AT I O N WATER PRESSURE At a maximum flow temperature of 90°C and with the nominal water flow that occurs at a ΔT of 20°K, the minimum operating pressure should be at least 1.5 bar. The operating pressure should be measured when the external pump is switched off.
I N S TA L L AT I O N WATER HARDNESS Water hardness levels are caused by dissolved minerals in the water and will vary geographically. The harder the water, the more likely that problems with precipitation (limescale deposits) will occur, causing permanent damage to the boiler and associated equipment.

C OM M I SS I O N I N G GENERAL The commissioning should only be carried out by qualified personnel. The guarantee may be void if this is not adhered to. Before operating the appliance, the following should be done: •...
C OM M I SS I O N I N G MAXIMUM LOAD ADJUSTMENT Press and hold the button for three seconds until the below display appears, the boiler will then start to operate at minimum load. To adjust to maximum rate, press and hold until the below display appears, the boiler will then start to operate at maximum load.
C OM M I SS I O N I N G SETTING THE CO VALUE FOR THE ETHOS RANGE • Any adjustments should only be carried out by competent persons. • After adjustment of the gas valve the adjusters must be resealed. There is a setting screw on the gas valve with which the CO value can be set at maximum load.
C OM M I SS I O N I N G CONVERSION FROM NATURAL GAS TO PROPANE For natural gas to propane conversion, it is only necessary to change the gas volume by altering the CO values as described on pages 28 - 30. C AS C A D E S E T - U P AUTO DETECTION MODE Cascade structure will need to be auto detected prior to cascading the boilers.
C AS C A D E S E T - U P CASCADE TEST MODE • Press and hold the buttons together for three seconds. • This will send a request to the master boiler to fire all slave boilers. •...
M A I N T E N A N C E SAFETY Maintenance should only be carried out by competent persons. Always isolate the gas supply at the gas service valve and isolate and disconnect the electrical supply prior to the removal of any components. Ensure that all external controls are isolated.
M A I N T E N A N C E REMOVAL OF GAS VALVE AND VENTURI • Isolate the gas and electrical supplies to the boiler. • Remove the four screws from the flange on the rear of the gas valve ( •...
M A I N T E N A N C E REMOVAL OF FAN AND BURNER ASSEMBLY • Isolate the gas and electrical supplies to the boiler. • Remove the caps from the ignition electrode and ionisation probe. • Remove the two electrical connections from the fan. Remove the gas valve and venturi as described on page 34.
M A I N T E N A N C E SETTING / CHECKING OF IGNITION ELECTRODE AND IONISATION PROBE GAPS In addition to the annual maintenance, please ensure the following is carried out: • Isolate the gas and electrical supplies to the boiler. •...
