“This record must be completed and left with the end user”. Ferroli is a member of the Benchmark initiative and fully supports the aims of the programme. Benchmark has been introduced to improve the standards of installation and commissioning of central heating systems in the UK and to encourage the regular servicing of all central heating systems to ensure safety and efficiency.
Please read this manual carefully and keep it for future reference. FERROLI F 24 B is a high-effi ciency condensing appliance for heating and hot water production run- ning on natural or liquefied petroleum gas (configurable at the time of installation) and regulated by an advanced microprocessor control system.

Ferroli F 24 B 1.3 Operating instructions Ignition • Open the gas isolation valve upstream of the boiler. • Purge the air from the pipe upstream of the gas valve. • Ensure power is on to appliance. • Turn the switch A (fig. 1) to the ON position.
If the problem remains after two attempts at resetting, contact the Ferroli Service Centre. For other faults, refer to section 3.4 “Troubleshooting.” Before calling the Ferroli service centre, check that the problem is not due to an installation error or a problem with the gas/electricity or low water pressure in the system.
Ferroli F 24 B 1.7 Time Clock A 24 hour time clock is fitted to the boiler to control the central heating, this will come into operation when the selector switch is turned to the position marked “heating timed and hot water”.
Ferroli F 24 B 2. INSTALLATION 2.1 General Instructions This device must only be used for the purpose for which it is specially designed. This unit is designed to heat water to a temperature below boiling point and must be connected to a hea- ting system and/or a water supply system for domestic use, compatible with its performance, characteristics and its heating capacity.
Ferroli F 24 B 2.2 Boiler location The unit’s combustion circuit is sealed off from the installation room. The installation room must be sufficiently well ventilated to prevent any dangerous conditions from forming in the event of even slight gas leakage. This safety standard is required by the EEC Directive no. 90/396 for all gas units, including those with a so-called sealed chamber.

Ferroli F 24 B Make Up Water Provision must be made for replacing water lost from the sealed system. Reference should be made to BS6798, for methods of filling and making up sealed systems. There must be no direct connection between the boiler's central heating system and the mains water supply.
Ferroli F 24 B 2.3 Boiler water connections The heating capacity of the unit should be previously established by calculating the building’s heat requirement according to current regulations. For good operation and long life of the boiler, the plumbing system must be well proportioned and always complete with all those accessories that guarantee regular operation and running, room thermostat, trv’s and automatic bypass.
Ø22 fig. 7 Water treatment When treatment is used ferroli limited only recommend the use of proprietary Brand, such as Fernox or Sentinel water treatment products, which must be used in accordance with the manufactures instructions. for further information contact: Feronx Manufacturing Co.
Ferroli F 24 B 2.4 Connection to the gas system If necessary the local Gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation planning stage, in order to establish the availability of an adequate supply of gas. An existing service pipe must not be used whitout prior consultation with the local Gas supplier.
The current standards and local regulations must be observed. It should be notes that only Ferroli flue system and accessories should be used on this appliance, as per BS 5440 2000 and C.E. test certification.

Ferroli F 24 B Shutting down Close the boiler isolation gas cock and turn off the electricity to the boiler. Important: If the boiler is not to be used for lengthy periods during the winter, to avoid frost damage, you are recommended to drain the water from the circuits (domestic hot water and central heating).
Ferroli F 24 B tion of the thermostats, gas valve and pump. Servicing procedure Visually check boiler for correct intallation and flueing. Isolate electricity supply + check fuse is 3amp. Remove case by undoing the two screws located at the bottom rear corners, lift slightly and pull forward.
Ferroli F 24 B Cleaning the boiler and burner The body and burner must not be cleaned with chemical products or wire brushes. Special care must be taken over all the sealing systems pertaining to the sealed chamber (gaskets, cable clamps, etc.). In addition, it is necessary to pay attention after performing all these operations to check and carry out all the phases of ignition and thermostat operation, the gas valve and circulation pump.
