1.2. Operating the boiler 1.2.1. Switching on The following procedure is to be implemented only after the boiler is installed and tested by a qualified fitter. • Open the gas stop cock; • turn ON the power switch external to the boiler (no. 1 LED turns on); •...
ANTI-FROST The boiler is equipped with anti-frost function, which is active in SUMMER/WINTER/ANTI-FROST modes. When central heating water temperature sensor detects a water temperature of 5°C, the boiler is switched on and stays on at minimum heat output until central heating water temperature reaches 30°C or 15 minutes have elapsed. Should boiler shut down, pump operation is still granted.
1.3. Boiler shut-down Should any malfunction occur, boiler automatically shuts down. Refer to no. 1 and no. 2 charts (on page 7) for boiler status detection. In order to detect the probable malfunction causes, see, in addition to no. 2 chart, no. 7 “Troubleshooting” paragraph at the end of the manual, as well.
1.3.4. Shut-down due to inadequate air/flue gas draught Should the boiler shut down due to air intake and/or flue gas discharge ducts malfunction, no. 4 LED (pic. 1) starts flashing. Should that happen, contact an authorized Service Centre or qualified personnel for service. 1.3.5.

3. Instructions for the fitter 3.1. Installation standards This is an II2H3P category boiler and must be installed in compliance with laws and standards enforced in the country of installation, which are herein considered as entirely transcribed. 3.2. Installation Accessories and spare parts for installation and service procedures are to be supplied by the Manufacturer. Should non original accessories and spare parts be employed, boiler proper performance is not guaranteed.
3.2.3. Positioning the boiler Each boiler is supplied with a paper template (pic. 6), within its packa- ging, allowing arrangement of CH pipe system, DHW pipe system, gas supply pipe system and air intake/flue gas discharge system before actually installing the boiler. The template is made of heavy-duty paper, it is to be affixed to the wall where the boiler is to be mounted using a carpenter’s level.
3.2.5. Boiler room ventilation The boiler has sealed combustion chamber. Combustion air is not drawn from boiler room therefore specific recommendations need not to be applied concerning the boiler room or openings and ventilation provided to the boiler room. It is mandatory to install the boiler in an adequate room following laws and standards applicable in the country of installation, which are considered as fully transcribed in this manual.
3.2.6.1. Air/flue gas system duct configuration Type B23 Boiler intended for connection to an existing flue system external to the boiler room. Combustion air is taken directly from the boiler room itself while flue gas is conveyed to the outside. The boiler is not to be fitted by anti-wind gust device;...
3.2.6.2. Ø 100/60 mm and Ø 125/80 mm air/flue gas coaxial duct system Type C13 KC 24 and KR 24 Minimum permissible length of horizontal coaxial pipes is 1 meter, without accounting for the first elbow connected to the boiler. Maximum permissible length of Ø...
3.2.6.3. Ø 80 mm air/flue gas split duct system Installation types C43 – C53 – C83 Minimum permissible length of air intake pipe is 1 meter. Minimum permissible length of flue gas discharge pipe is 1 meter. Maximum permissible length of air intake/flue gas discharge pipes is 120 meters (combined length of air intake and flue gas discharge pipe length).
3.2.7.2. Measurements The boiler is equipped with a tower allowing for air intake/flue gas discharge duct connection (pic. 14 and pic. 15). The tower is designed with two pre-arranged openings directly accessing air and flue gas ducts (pic. 15). Remove cap A from the pre-arranged openings on the tower, before starting combustion checking procedure (pic. 14). In order to verify combustion performance the following measurements must be implemented: - assess combustion air from no.
3.2.8. Gas main connection Gas supply pipe cross-section must be equal or greater than boiler gas pipe. Cross-section gas pipe size calculation depends on its length, layout pattern, gas flow rate. Gas pipe size is to be dimensioned accordingly. Comply with installation standards enforced in the installation country which are considered as fully transcribed in this booklet. Remember that before operating an indoor gas distribution system and before connecting it to a meter, it must be checked for leaks.
CONDENSATE DRAIN Comply with condensate drain laws and standards applicable in the country of installation and which are considered herein integrally tran- scribed. When the law is not stating differently, the condensate produced by combustion, is to be routed (via the condensate drain S in pic. 3) through a discharge system connected to the domestic sewer, which due to its basicity, counteracts flue gas condensate acidity.
3.2.12. Room thermostat connection (optional equipment) The boiler can be connected to a room thermostat (not supplied with the boiler). Room thermostat contacts are to be connected to M9 position of the boiler printed circuit board (pic. 21), after removal of the jumper which is delivered as standard fitting to the boiler. Room thermostat wiring must not be grouped together with power mains supply cables.
3.2.14. External temperature probe installation (optional equipment) and “sliding temperature” operation The boiler can be connected to an external temperature probe (optional equipment), which adjusts CH flow temperature for sliding tem- perature operation. The manufacturer supplies two probe models: - 0KSONEST00: external probe for connection to the remote control; - 0SONDAES01: external probe for direct connection to the boiler;...
Above shown curves, relative to a 20°C desired room temperature, are always limited between minimum and maximum value of Ch ope- ration temperature range. When 20°C fictitious room temperature is changed (via adjuster 11), all curves move correspondingly. 3.2.15. Phone operation device installation (optional equipment) The boiler can be connected to a phone operation device (not provided with the boiler), allowing for CH mode activation via phone.
3.4. Starting the boiler 3.4.1. Preliminary checks Before starting the boiler it is necessary to perform the following checks: - flue gas exhaust pipe and terminal are installed as instructed: when the boiler is running no products generated by combustion are to leak from any gasket;...

B) Minimum heating output adjustment - set heating output adjuster maxR (pic. 13) to minimum (turn it fully counter-clockwise after removing the protective cap); - adjust CO in flue gas by turning offset adjuster C (pic. 23) and verify CO to be within the range stated in no.
4. Testing the boiler 4.1. Preliminary checks Before testing the boiler, it is recommended to carry out the following checks: - compliance of flue gas discharge ducts and terminal installation according to instructions: when the boiler is operating no products generated by combustion are to leak from any gasket; - power mains supply to boiler is 230 V –...
