1. InStRUCtIOnS pRIOR tO InStallatIOn

This boiler is designed to heat water at a lower than boiling temperature at atmospheric pressure. The boiler must be
connected to a central heating system and to a domestic hot water supply system in compliance with its performances
and output power.
Have the boiler installed by a Qualified Service Engineer and ensure the following operations are accomplished:
a) careful checking that the boiler is fit for operation with the type of gas available. For more details see the notice on the
packaging and the label on the appliance itself.
b) careful checking that the flue terminal draft is appropriate; that the terminal is not obstructed and that no other appliance
exhaust gases are expelled through the same flue duct, unless the flue is especially designed to collect the exhaust gas
coming from more than one appliance, in conformity with the laws and regulations in force.
c) careful checking that, in case the flue has been connected to pre-existing flue ducts, thorough cleaning has been carried
out in that residual combustion products may come off during operation of the boiler and obstruct the flue duct.
d) to ensure correct operation of the appliance and avoid invalidating the guarantee, observe the following precautions:
1. hot water circuit:
1.1.
If the water hardness is greater than 20 °F (1 °F = 10 mg calcium carbonate per litre of water) a polyphosphate or
comparable treatment system responding to current regulations.
1.2.
Domestic Hot Water circuit must be thoroughly flushed after the installation of the appliance and before its use.
1.3. The materials used for the domestic hot water circuit of the product comply with Directive 98/83/EC.
2. heating circuit
2.1. new system
Before proceeding with installation of the boiler, the system must be cleaned and flushed out thoroughly to eliminate
residual thread-cutting swarf, solder and solvents if any, using suitable proprietary products.
To avoid damaging metal, plastic and rubber parts, use only neutral cleaners, i.e. non-acid and non alkaline. The
recommended products for cleaning are:
SENTINEL X300 or X400 and FERNOX heating circuit restore. To use this product proceeding strictly in accordance
with the maker's directions.
2.2. existing system
Before proceeding with installation of the boiler, the system must be cleaned and flushed out to remove sludge
and contaminants, using suitable proprietary products as described in section 2.1.
To avoid damaging metal, plastic and rubber parts, use only neutral cleaners, i.e. non-acid and non-alkaline such
as SENTINEL X100 and FERNOX heating circuit protective. To use this product proceeding strictly in accordance
with the maker's directions.
Remember that the presence of foreign matter in the heating system can adversely affect the operation of the
boiler (e.g. overheating and noisy operation of the heat exchanger).
Failure to observe the above will render the guarantee null and

Initial lighting of the boiler must be carried out by a licensed technician. Ensure the following operations are carried out:
a) compliance of boiler parameters with (electricity, water, gas) supply systems settings.
b) compliance of installation with the laws and regulations in force.
c) appropriate connection to the power supply and grounding of the appliance.
Failure to observe the above will render the guarantee null and void.
Prior to commissioning remove the protective plastic coating from the unit. Do not use any tools or abrasive detergents
