This instruction booklet is an integral part of the product and must be provided to the user. Carefully read the warnings contained in this booklet, as these provide important safety instructions for the installation, use and maintenance of the product. This booklet should be carefully kept for future reference. Installation must be carried out by professionally qualified personnel or by an authorised service centre (in compliance with Law 46/90) following the instructions provided by the manufacturer. -
Page 7: Packaging And Transport
The boiler is delivered complete with all its electrical and mechanical components and factory tested. Open the packaging and ensure that the boiler is complete and undamaged; if in doubt, contact the seller. The installer is responsible for fitting the casing (see section 5.2.) Disposal or recycling of the packaging is the responsibility of the end user. -

Page 11: Recirculating Pump (Anti-Condensation)
To minimise the possibility of condensate forming in the wood-fired boiler, a recirculating pump needs to be installed. The pump is connected between the outlet (A1) and return (A2) fittings, with the direction of flow from top down. ARCA supplies a recirculating pump kit as an accessory, including pump, connection piping and fittings. IMPORTANT: For correct generator operation the recirculating pump must be installed. -
Page 12: I N S T A L L A T I On
The Aspiro CTCA boiler is no different from a normal solid fuel boiler; therefore, there are no specific installation instructions beyond the safety requirements of the relevant standards in force. The room must be well-ventilated; ventilation openings must have a minimum total surface area no less than 0.5 m . -

Page 15: Shaker Lever Assembly
On the side of the casing there is a hole where you can insert the lever for cleaning the mobile turbulators to be mounted on the pin on the side of the smoke box, securing it with the appropriate hexagon screw. The shaker pin can be mounted on either the right or left side. -
Page 16: Chimney Pot
The chimney pot must meet the following requirements: have a cross-section and internal shape equivalent to that of the flue; have a useful outlet cross-section not less than twice that of the flue; be constructed in such a way as to prevent the penetration of rain, snow and foreign bodies and, in the event of winds, ensure the normal flow of smoke;... -
Page 17: Roof Drain With Steel Flue
When installing the flue, always ensure an inspection valve for periodic soot cleaning and evacuation of any condensate. If the flue gas duct is to be installed completely outdoors, it should be made completely of double-walled stainless steel to ensure better weather resistance and adequate flue gas discharge temperature. -
Page 18: Roof Drain With Traditional Flue
Combustion gases can also be evacuated using an existing traditional flue as long as it is built to standard. It must comply with the following rules: must be provided with adequate insulation in the exposed outer section; the internal section must be constant; ... -
Page 19: Operation Of The Thermal Exhaust Valve
Note: the thermal relief valve could also be placed on the used hot water outlet, but this would not be beneficial from a safety point of view and you would run the risk that the sediments in the heat exchanger interfere with correct operation of the valve itself. -

Page 28: Boiler Off
Before starting the boiler, check that: a) the system is full of water and well-vented b) any on-off devices are open and the pumps are not blocked moreover: Before performing any maintenance always disconnect power to the boiler and wait for the appliance to reach room temperature. -
Page 29: Normal Operation
" " " " On reaching the set temperature and more precisely 2°C below the operating temperature, the top display will show “Modulazione” [Modulation] indicating modulating operation; in this stage the fan operates at minimum speed. This message may also be shown when the boiler starts modulating operation due to excessive flue gas temperature (maximum setting 190°C). -

Page 57: First Ignition
All boilers, and particularly high-powered boilers, require a very gradual initial ignition to allow uniform drying and heating of the refractory parts. So it is advisable to put a small amount of wood in the first ignition and let the temperature gradually rise. If, on the other hand, the boiler is used at full power immediately, surface detachments of refractory concrete or isolated deep cracks may occur. -

CHOOSING THE MODEL 16.1. Boiler power For each type of boiler, there is a minimum output, a useful output (corresponding to wood with a calorific value of 3500 kcal/Kg with a moisture content of 15%) and a maximum output, the latter being indicated for the purposes of dimensioning the safety components: valves, diameter of the safety pipe, etc. - Page 59 ARCA s.r.l.
