It is essential to perform the following checks before THE/Q 3 starting up or testing the functioning of your THERMITAL boiler. In particular, check that: - The protective cardboard sheet (1) has been removed from the ceramic fibre. - The turbulators (2) are correctly positioned (vertical posi- tion) inside the heat exchange tubes and the clips (3) are resting against the wall (4) of the heat exchanger.
INITIAL START-UP Once you have completed all the preparatory steps, proceed as follows to start up the boiler for the first time: - If the system is equipped with a temperature controller or timer thermostat, make sure that it is switched on. - Adjust the timer thermostat/s or temperature controller to the desired temperature (~20°C).
