USE AND MAINTENANCE
3. 1
COMMISSIONING
THE BOILER
When commissioning the boiler it is
recommended:
– to make sure that the system has
been filled with water and adequa-
tely vented;
– to make sure that the flow and
return valves are fully open;
– to make sure that flue and chimney
are free from obstructions;
– to make sure that the electrical con-
nections t o t he mains and t he
earthing are correct;
– to make sure that no flammable
liquids or materials are near the
boiler.

LIGHTING AND
OPERATION
3.2. 1 Lighting the boiler
To light the boiler proceed as follows
(fig. 11):
– switch on the main switch (1) and
2
verify that the green LED (3) turns
on to confirm the presence of volta-
ge. The burner will start;
– turn the boiler stat knob (5) to the
desidered setting.
For best results, set the boiler stat
knob to a temperature no lower
than 60°C to prevent the formation
of condensate.
The set temperature value can be
checked on the thermometer (4).
3.2.2 Safety stat
The safety stat with automatic reset
calibration set at 100°C (2 fig. 11)
trips, immediately turning off the bur-
ner when the boiler accidentally
overheats. To restore normal opera-
tions, wait until the temperature
drops below the thermostat calibra-
tion setting.
3.2.3 System filling
Periodically check the pressure values

of the hydrometer mounted onto the
system, when the system is cold,
should range between 1 and 1.2 bar. If
the pressure is less than 1 bar, reset
the system.
3.2.4 Turning OFF boiler
To temporarily turn off the boiler turn
off the electricity supply by pressing
the main switch (1 fig. 11). The follow-
ing operations must be carried out if
the plant will not be in use for a lengthy
period of time:
– position the main switch of the plant
on off;
– turn the fuel and water taps of the
central heating plant off;
– empty the central heating plant if
there is danger of frost:
