Dear Customer:
Thank you for buying a Biasi Riva Plus Boiler System.
The Riva Plus is a high eff ciency condensing, wall mounted gas boiler which
provides central heat.
We realize that it is not possible to answer all questions about the Riva boiler system in this
manual. Reading this installation manual does not make the reader an expert in all aspects
of installation and operation, and does not replace the need for a quali f ed, licensed heating
contractor. We urge you to contact your installing contractor or distributor if you are in question
about any aspect of your boiler’s performance. Our main concern is that you are satisf ed with
your boiler and its performance. We require that your contractor complete eff ciency tests using
instruments.
The external controls and accessories listed in this manual (excluding those supplied inside
the boiler) are intended to serve as guidelines rather than speci f c recommendations. We re-
alize that other makes and models of such devices are available and can be used as suc-
cessfully as those we specify. The installing contractor is the best judge of a system’s specif c
requirements, as well as the local availability of certain makes and models of controls and
accessories. The preceding does not apply, however, to the equipment that comes with every
boiler, such as the overheat control and pressure relief valves. The installation of the spe-
cific devices supplied with every boiler is absolutely necessary to the safe operation of
the boiler and protection of the heating system.
All BIASI wall hung boilers are built in accordance with the ASME boiler and pressure vessel
code, and bear the “H” stamp. The Entire range of applications for the Riva Plus has been
tested to standard CSA 4.9 and is CSA compliant.
This Riva boiler has a 2 year warranty, a copy of which is provided with the boiler . Please be
sure to return the warranty registration card as the warranty will be void without your boiler ’s
serial numbers (located on the ratings label af f xed to the boiler), date of installation and the
name of your installer being on record in our f les.
Thank you for purchasing our Riva Plus boiler . If you have questions or comments, please
don’t hesitate to contact us immediately. Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction.

RIVA PLUS USER MANUAL 5
WARNING
Any appliance that burns natural gas, propane gas, fuel oil, wood or coal is capable of pro-
ducing carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a gas which is odorless, colorless
and tasteless but is very toxic. CO is lighter than air and thus may travel throughout the
building.
BRIEF EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF CO, OR
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LESSER AMOUNTS OF CO MAY
RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. EXPOSURE CAN BE
FATAL AND EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS MAY RESULT
IN THE SUDDEN ONSET OF SYMPTOMS INCLUDING
UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
Symptoms of CO poisoning include the following:
dizziness vision problems shortness of breath
headache loss of muscle control unclear thinking
nausea weakness unconsciousness
The symptoms of CO poisoning are often confused with those of inf uenza, and the highest
incidence of poisoning occurs at the onset of cold weather or during f u season.
A victim may not experience any symptoms, only one symptom, or a few symptoms.
Suspect the presence of carbon monoxide if symptoms tend to disappear when you
leave your home.
The following signs may indicate the presence of carbon monoxide:
Hot gasses from appliance, venting system pipes or chimney , escaping into the living •
space.
Flames coming out around the appliance.•
Yellow colored f ames in the appliance.•
Stale or smelly air.•
The presence of soot or carbon in or around the appliance.•
Very high unexplained humidity inside the building.•
If any of the symptoms of CO occur, or if any of the signs of carbon monoxide are present,
VACATE THE PREMISES IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT A QUALIFIED HEATING SER-
VICE COMPANY OR THE GAS COMPANY OR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
ONLY QUALIFIED, LICENSED SERVICE CONTRACTORS SHOULD PERFORM WORK
ON YOUR BIASI RIVA PLUS BOILER.

General Information1.
Technical Information (M135.30CR)2.
The Riva Recuper is a high ef f ciency condensing, wall mounted gas boiler which provides
central heat. The boiler features a gas valve which modulates the energy input from 49476
BTU/h to 116008 BTU/h. The boiler is shipped fully assembled. All units are pressure and
combustion tested at the factory prior to shipping.
Key Features:
Wall mountable - saving valuable f oor •
space.
Several f ue options available•
Electronic spark ignition•
Safety f ow switch - positioned on the •
main circuit, which monitors the f ow and
protects the main heat exchanger from
thermal shock should there be a lack of
water in the system.
Frost protection - contains an integral frost •
protection system to prevent frost dam-
age which can occur in areas susceptible
to very cold weather conditions.
Boiler operation recognition system - •
should the boiler not be used for longer
than 24 hours, it then performs a control-
led system test to ensuring the motorized
components within the boiler do not be-
come inoperable due to lack of use.
Gas valve modulation - the gas input •
modulates based off central heating tem-
perature to within ± 2 ºF
Diagnostic information system equipped •
with three LED diagnostic lights for quick
error assessment.
