926.772.1 - GB/IEINSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE USER
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/or to a domestic hot water supply system in compliance
with its performances and output power.
The boiler must be installed by a Qualied Service Engineer ensuring that the following operations are carried
out:
a) Careful checking that the boiler is t 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 ue terminal draft is appropriate; that the terminal is not obstructed and that no
other appliance exhaust gases are expelled through the same ue duct, unless the ue is especially desi-
gned to collect the exhaust gas coming from more than one appliance, in conformity with the standards
and regulations in force.
c) Careful checking that, in case the ue has been connected to pre-existing ue ducts, thorough cleaning
has been carried out in that residual combustion products may come off during operation of the boiler and
obstruct the ue duct.
d) To ensure correct operation of the appliance and avoid invalidating the warranty, observe the following
precautions:
1. Hot water circuit:
If the water hardness is greater than 20 °F (1 °F = 10 mg calcium carbonate per litre of water) a
polyphosphate or comparable treatment must be used in response to current regulations.
2. Heating circuit
2.1. New system
Before proceeding with installation of the boiler, the system must be cleaned and ushed 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. The use of this product must be strictly
in accordance with the maker’s directions. Finally the system must be dosed with a suitable inhibitor
at 1% system volume.
2.2. Existing system
Before proceeding with installation of the boiler, the system must be cleaned and ushed 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.
Remember that the presence of foreign matter in the heating system can adversely affect the operation
of the boiler (e.g. overheating, noisy operation, or failure of the heat exchanger may occur).
Failure to observe the above will render the warranty null and void.
1. INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Initial lighting of the boiler must be carried out by a qualied service engineer. 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 standards and regulations in force.
c) Appropriate connection to the power supply and earthing of the appliance.
Failure to observe the above will render the warranty null and void.
Prior to commissioning remove the protective plastic coating from the unit. Do not use any tools or abrasive
detergents as you may damage the painted surfaces.
