Dear Customer, Thank you for choosing and buying one of our boilers. Please read these instructions carefully in order to install, operate and service the boiler properly. The Manufacturer recommends that Customers contact authorized qualified personnel only for maintenance and repair operations.
General information for fitters, maintenance technicians and users This INSTRUCTION MANUAL, which is an integral and indispensable part of the product, must be handed over to the user by the fitter and must be kept in a safe place for future reference. The manual must accompany the boiler should it be sold or its possession transferred. This boiler is designed for connection to a central heating system (all models) and to a hot domestic water system (models CTN and CTFS only).
RAPID OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS These instructions can be followed for rapid ignition, regulation and immediate use of the boiler, provided it has been installed by an authorized fitter, started up for the first time and set up for correct operation. If the boiler is equipped with other accessories, these instructions are not sufficient to ensure correct operation. Reference must be made to the full instructions for the boiler and all mounted accessories.

1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER 1.1. Control panel pic. 1 - Control panel 1. Power mains connection light (green) This light indicates that the power supply to the boiler is on. 2. Indicator light (red) When this light is on, it means the temperature of the water in the heating system is between 25°C and 35°C. When this light is flashing, it means the boiler has shut down due to a malfunction.

1.2.2. Operation CENTRAL HEATING Use the regulation knob (11, pic. 1) to set the temperature in the central heating system. The temperature setting range is 35-78°C (from the counter-clockwise limit position to the time limit position). The CH temperature can be read from lights 2÷7 (pic. 1) on the control panel. To prevent frequent ignition and switching off in heating mode, the boiler has a 4-minute waiting time between subsequent ignitions.
In boilers with an external heater for the supply of domestic hot water, which have a thermostat-type temperature sensor, the anti-freeze function does NOT protect the water heater. It can be protected by setting the boiler to Summer or Winter , or by setting a value above 0°C on the water heater thermostat.
1.3. Boiler shut-down If a malfunction occurs, the boiler automatically shuts down. Refer to tables 1 and 2 for boiler status. In order to determine the probable causes of the malfunction, refer to section 6 - Troubleshooting - at the end of this manual (in addition to tables 1 and 2).
1.4. Maintenance Routine boiler maintenance must be provided according to the applicable laws in the country of installation and following the instructions given in the relevant section in this manual. Correct maintenance ensures that the boiler operates efficiently, is environmentally friendly, and is not a danger to people, animals or property.

3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FITTER 3.1. Installation standards This is a II2H3+ boiler which must be installed in compliance with the applicable laws and standards in the country of installation. 3.2. Installation Accessories and spare parts for installation and service procedures must be supplied by the Manufacturer. The boiler cannot be guaranteed to operate properly if non-original accessories or spare parts are used.
3.2.4. Installing the boiler Before connecting the boiler to the CH and DHW systems, clean the pipes carefully. Prior to operating a NEW system, eliminate any metallic leftover during manufacturing and welding process, and any oil or grease deposits, which might get into the boiler and damage it or affect operation. Prior to operating an UPGRADED system (addition of radiators, boiler replacement, etc.), clean it thoroughly to remove all sludge and foreign particles.

type type 3.2.7.1. Configuration of air/flue system pipes: type types: B22, C12, C32, C42, C52, C82 B22 This boiler is intended for connection to an existing flue system either inside or outside the boiler room. Combustion air is drawn straight from the boiler room itself and flue gas is conveyed to the outside.
3.2.7.2. 100/60 mm diameter coaxial pipe air/flue system Type C12 The minimum permissible length of horizon- tal coaxial pipes is 0.5 metre, not including the first elbow connected to the boiler. The maximum permissible length of horizon- tal coaxial pipes is 4 metres, not including the first elbow connected to the boiler.

Turn knob 9 (pic. 1) to WINTER and the room thermostat (if there is one) to ON. While the boiler is operating, press the SPA button for a few seconds (A, pic. 22). The boiler will turn off and then resume the ignition sequence, starting again at the max power.
3.2.10. Plumbing connections Prior to installing the boiler, the hydraulic system must be cleaned thoroughly to remove any impurities that are present in the system com- ponents and would damage the pump and the heat exchanger (see subsection 3.2.4.). CENTRAL HEATING The CH flow and return pipes must be connected to the relevant 3/4”...
3.2.13. Room thermostat connection (optional) The boiler can be connected to a room thermostat (not provided with the boiler). Room thermostat contacts must be properly sized for 5 mA at 24 V D.C. The room thermostat wiring must be connected to the M9 terminal shown in pic. 29, after removing the jumper supplied as a standard fitting. The room thermostat wiring must NOT be grouped together with mains cables.
The external temperature probe must be installed on an outside wall facing north or north-east. Do not install near a window or next to ventilation openings or sources of heat. The external temperature probe automatically modifies CH flow temperature in relation to: •...
WARNING As regards treating water in domestic heating systems, it is advisable to use specific products that are suitable for multi-metal plants, in order to optimize performance and safety, preserve these conditions over time, ensure regular operation of auxiliary equipment as well, and minimize energy consumption, in compliance with the applicable laws and standards. WARNING The low water pressure safety switch will prevent the burner from being started when the water pressure is below 0.4÷0.6 bar.

3.6. Adaptation for use with other gases and burner adjustment These boilers are manufactured for the type of gas specified on the order, which is shown on the packaging label and the boiler rating plate. Adaptations after delivery must only be made by a qualified service engineer, using manufacturer-supplied accessories and implementing the modifications and adjustments for the necessary boiler set-up.
4. TESTING THE BOILER 4.1. Preliminary checks Before testing the boiler, it is advisable to carry out the following checks: • The installation must comply with current standards. • Flue disclose pipes and terminals must be implemented as instructed. When the boiler is running, no combustion products must leak from the gaskets.
and the following cleaning operations: • Internal areas of the boiler. • Gas nozzles. • Air intake and flue gas exhaust system (model TFS only). • Draught stop device (model TN only). • Vent grille in boiler room (model TN only). •...
