First lighting
– Follow the instructions which are supplied with
the burner.
– Set the control thermostat (34) Fig. 4 to
about 80 °C and check that this and the limit
thermostat operate correctly.
– The two stage basic control panel (38), is
prepared for controlling the burner in two
stages, and therefore incorporates two control
thermos- tats (34) Fig. 4. The thermostat
regulated to lower temperatures controls
the second stage, whilst the other, which is
regulated to higher temperatures, controls the
first stage.
– Vent the installation again and check that the
radiators warm up satisfactorily.
Important recommendations
– If there is danger of freezing, add some anti-
freeze product to the water.
– Keep the same amount of water in the system
at all times; water should only be added when
topping up is absolutely necessary.
– Uncontrolled topping up with water may cause
limescale deposits in the boiler, damage it
seriously and reduce its performance.
– We recommend that the properties of the water
in the system be:
pH between
7.5 and 8.5.
Hardness:
8 to 12 French degrees (*).
(*) One French degree is equivalent to 1 gram of
calcium carbonate per 100 litres of water.
– Any work on the boiler or the installation must
be performed by qualified personnel.
Prevention of condensation
Condensation in boilers is harmful, especially
when they are made of steel. With a combustion
set to 25% excess air, boilers are suitable for
operating with a minimum boiler temperature and
return temperature, showed in the the following
table:

When installation requires lower temperatures
than those of the table, it will be necessary to add
a by-pass pump to raise the return temperature
and/or a 3 way mixing valve to have a flow
temperature lower than boiler temperature.

The "Pr" by-pass pump can be calculated for a
water flow about 50% of the main heating pump
of the installation "Pi" and with possibility to
overcome the boiler pressure drop (always less
than 0,1 bar).
Note:
If after following the before recommendations, any
signs of malfunction or failure is detected in the
boiler or installation, please contact with your local
distributor or any authorized After Sales Service.
