This "Installation, user and maintenance manual" is a guide to the installation and operation of the AY Condensing Line base-mounted gas boiler. In particular, the manual deals with the AY00-120 model, hereinafter called "appliance", of the AY Series, and is intended for use by: final users for the operation of the appliance according to their own requirements;...
SAFETY WARNINGS SAFETY WARNINGS Packing items (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, nails, etc.) must be kept out of the reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous. The appliance must only be used for the purposes for which it has been designed. Any other use is considered inappropriate and therefore dangerous.
Page 6
SAFETY WARNINGS Stipulate a maintenance contract with an authorised specialist contractor for the annual inspection of the appliance and mainte- nance when needed. Maintenance and repairs may only be done a contractor legally authorised to work on gas appliances and equipment. Only accept and use original spare parts.
Before contacting your authorised Robur Technical Assistance Centre (TAC) for the initial activation, the firm must ensure that: the electricity and gas mains specifications correspond to the specifications on the nameplate;...
Carry out maintenance operations according to the instructions supplied by the manufacturer (see Paragraph 7.2 53). → For maintenance of the appliance’s internal components, contact a Robur TAC or qualified technician; for other maintenance require- ments, see Paragraph 7.2 53.
OVERVIEW AND TECHNICAL FEATURES Figure 3�1 – CCI/DDC AY00-120: description and general characteristics the appliance (see Figure 3.2 11) is a B53P type high efficiency boiler ( star efficiency class as per Directive 92/42/CEE). → The appliance is a Range Rated boiler: the power delivery of the appliance can be adapted to the real system requirements by regu- lating the nominal gas flow (nominal thermal input).
