When there is a demand for domestic hot water, the tap symbol (fixed) and the instantaneous water temperature are displayed. The burner symbol shows while the burner is in operation. The boiler can also operate as a standard instantaneous boiler, when the storage tank disabled. 1.4.3.2.
1.4.5. Pump and valve anti-shutdown function If the boiler remains inactive and selector 2 is not in the OFF position, and the boiler is still connected to the mains supply, the pump, the switching valve and the two-way valve activate briefly every 24 hours to keep them efficient. 1.4.6.
1.5. Boiler shutdown The boiler shuts down automatically if a malfunction occurs. Refer to Tables 1 and 2 to identify the boiler operating mode. Refer to Table 2 and section 6 to identify possible causes of the shutdown. The troubleshooting section is at the end of this manual. Below is a list of kinds of shutdown and the procedure to follow in each.
1.5.5. Shutdown due to fan malfunction IlThe fan work is constantly monitored and in case of malfunction it goes off; the boiler shutdown symbol displayed and code E17 flashes. This mode is maintained until the fan recovers normal working parameters. If the boiler should not start and remain in this mode, contact a qualified Service Centre or service engineer.

3.2.4. Installing the boiler Before connecting the boiler to the CH and DHW system, it needs to be cleaned thoroughly. Before putting a NEW system into service, clean thoroughly to remove any metal residue left over from manufacturing and welding processes, and any oil and grease deposits. This is because if they got into the boiler they would damage it or interfere with operation.
3.2.6. Air intake / flue gas discharge system Flue gas discharge into the atmosphere must comply with applicable laws and standards in the country of installation. The boiler is equipped with safety devices checking correct flue gas dischargeion. Should an air/flue gas system malfunction occur, the safety devices shut down the boiler and the LCD will display the burner shutdown symbol and flashing E03 code.
3.2.6.1. Air intake/flue gas discharge system duct configuration: B23, B53, C13, C33, C43, C53, C83 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 intake/flue gas coaxial duct system The above data are referred to air intake/flue gas discharge systems which are implemented by means of smooth, rigid manufacturer approved and supplied pipes. Type C13 KB 24 Minimum permissible length of horizontal coaxial pipes is 1 meter, without accounting for the first elbow connected to the boiler.
3.2.6.3. Ø 80 mm air intake /flue gas discharge split duct system The above data are referred to air intake/flue gas discharge systems which are implemented by means of smooth, rigid manufacturer approved and supplied pipes. Installation types C43 - C53 - C83 Minimum permissible length of air intake pipe is 1 meter.
fig. 16 fig. 17 3.2.7.2. Measurement procedure The boiler is equipped with a tower allowing for air intake/flue gas discharge duct connection (fig. 18 and 19). The tower is designed with two pre-arranged openings directly accessing combustion air and flue gas ducts (fig. 19). Remove cap A from the pre-arranged openings on the tower, before starting combustion checking procedure (fig.
3.2.8. Gas mains connection The cross-section of the gas supply pipe must be equal to or greater than that of the boiler gas inlet pipe. The cross-section of the pipe depends on its length and route and the gas flow rate. The gas pipe must be dimensioned accordingly. Comply with the installation standards in force in the country of use, which are considered an integral part of this manual.
3.2.10. Power mains connection The boiler is supplied with a three-pole power cable, already connected to the electronic board and protected by a cable clamp. The boiler must be connected to a 230 V ~ 50 Hz mains supply. When connecting the boiler to the power mains, keep to the phase/neutral system. Installation must be carried out in compliance with the applicable standards, which are considered an integral part of this manual.
Precautions to take when installing the remote control: - The remote control cables must NOT be routed together with power cables: otherwise the disturbance would cause the remote control to malfunction. - Position the remote control on a wall inside the building, about 1.5 metres from the floor, in a suitable position for measuring the environmental temperature.

The temperature probe must be installed on an outside wall facing north or north-east, in a position protected from atmospheric agents. Do not install near a window, ventilation openings or sources of heat. The external temperature probe automatically modifies the CH flow temperature in relation to: - the outdoor temperature measured - the thermoregulation curve selected - the calculated room temperature selected.
3.3. Filling the system When all the boiler connections have been completed, the CH system can be filled with water. This must be done with caution, following these steps in sequence. • Open the air purging valve on all the radiators and check the efficiency of the automatic boiler valve. •...
3.6. Adapting to other gases and regulating the burner This boiler is built to run on the type of gas specified on the order, which is shown on the packaging and on the boiler rating plate. If you wish to switch to another type of gas, this must be done by a qualified technician using the accessories supplied by the manufacturer. He will make the necessary modifications and adjustments to ensure efficient operation of the boiler.
fig. 25 Testing the boiler 4.1. Preliminary checks Before testing the boiler, it is advisable to check that: • the installation complies with the current regulations; • the flue gas discharge pipe and terminal are installed as instructed: when the boiler is running, no combustion gas must leak from any of the gaskets;...
Maintenance Maintenance and repairs must be carried out by a fully qualified technician. The user is strongly advised to have the boiler serviced and repaired by one of the Manufacturer’s fully qualified and authorised Service Centres Correct maintenance of the boiler will allow it to work efficiently, without harming the environment, and in complete safety. 5.1.
Troubleshooting BOILER STATUS PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Check gas pressure. Check that the gas valve opens or Gas supply failure whether any system safety valves have cut in. Gas valve disconnected Reconnect it Burner does not ignite Gas valve faulty Replace it PCB faulty Replace it...
