“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.
1.1 Introduction Dear Customer, Thank you for choosing Maxima 35 C, a FERROLI wall-mounted boiler of the latest generation, featuring advanced design and cutting-edge technology. Maxima 35 C is a high-efficiency condensing pre-mix appliance for heating and hot water production with extremely low emissions, running on natural gas or LPG.
Maxima 35 C 1.2 Control panel 15 13 fig. 1 1 - Summer/Winter selection key In Winter mode, both heating and hot water production are on; in Summer mode, hot water production only (the heating display information will disappear in summer mode and the summer display will illuminate - item 20).

Maxima 35 C 13 - Fan symbol This appears when there is a call for heating or hot water, and the fan is operating. 15 - Ignition symbol The ignition symbol appears during the ignition phase. 16 - Flame symbol Indicates the burner is on, the small rising bars to the right indicate the burner output 1=low, 5=high.
Maxima 35 C 1.3 Operationg 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. • Press the ON/OFF key in to turn on boiler (see fig. 1).
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.
Maxima 35 C 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.
Maxima 35 C 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.

Maxima 35 C 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. The use of mains water to charge and pressurise the system directly, is conditional upon the Local Water Byelaws.
Maxima 35 C 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. 6 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.
Maxima 35 C 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.
Maxima 35 C Access to the electrical terminal board Follow the instructions given in fig. 7 to access the electrical connection terminal board (A fig. 7). The layout of the terminals for the various connections is given in the wiring diagram in the Technical Data chapter.
