1. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 Introduction

Dear Customer,

Thank you for choosing Optimax 25 C, a FERROLI wall-mounted boiler of the latest generation, featuring

advanced design and cutting-edge technology.

Optimax 25 C is a high-efﬁciency condensing pre-mix appliance for heating with extremely low emis-

sions, running on natural gas or LPG.

The boiler consists of an aluminium laminar heat exchanger providing effective condensation of the

water vapour contained in the ﬂue gases, permitting extremely high efﬁciency.

Above the heat exchanger, in the boiler, there is a pre-mix burner, with a large ceramic surface, equip-

ped with electronic ignition and ionization ﬂame control, which achieves extremely low emissions while

ensuring high reliability and long life operation.

The boiler is totally room sealed from the installation room: the air needed for combustion is drawn

from outside. The boiler also includes a modulating speed fan, modulating gas valve, pump, expansion

vessel, safety valve, ﬂow sensor, temperature sensors, a safety thermostat and a low pressure switch.

Thanks to the twin microprocessor control and adjustment system with advanced self-diagnosis, unit

operation is for the most part automatic. The power for heating is automatically governed by the control

system.

The user only has to set the temperature desired inside the home by means of a room thermostat and

appliance temperature control. The adjustment and control system will provide optimum operation

throughout the year.

The display continuously provides information on the unit’s operating status and it is easily possible

to obtain additional information on the sensor temperatures, set-points, etc. or conﬁgure them. Any

operating problems associated with the boiler or system is immediately signalled by the display and, if

possible, corrected automatically.

1 - System temperature adjustment / Summer/Winter selection

This knob is used to adjust the system temperature from 20°C to 90°C and can switch over between

summer / winter. To increase the system temperature, turn the knob clockwise; anticlockwise to decrease

it. To select the summer mode, turn it anticlockwise to the minimum setting. (See page 6)

2 - ON-OFF / Reset / Test

Holding the key down for at least 5 seconds turns off the boiler. To turn it back on, press the key again

for 5 seconds.

Pressing the key resets boiler operation after a shutdown or lock-out.

Pressing the key 3 times within 5 seconds automatically takes you to TEST operation, (15mins at maxi-

mum heating output) to exit test mode repeat the process by pressing the key a further 3 times within

5 seconds.

3 - Multi-function

In combination with the reset key, this is used to access the Installer menu.

4 - Operating display

On stand-by and during boiler operation this indicates the boiler operating temperature, (a ﬂame point

at the bottom of the display will illuminate to indicate the burner has lit) or a fault code if a problem

occurs.

5 - Hot water temperature adjustment control

Used to set the hot water temperature, turning the knob clockwise increases the temperature, anti-

clockwise decreases it. The adjustment range goes from 40 to 65°C (see page 6).

Optimax 25 C

1.4 Adjustments

Room temperature adjustment (using a room thermostat )

Using the room thermostat, set the temperature desired in the rooms. Controlled by the room ther-

mostat, the boiler lights and heats the system water to the system delivery setpoint temperature. The

burner shuts down when the desired temperature in the room is reached.

A room thermostat and programmer are a mandatory requirement (Building regulations Doc ‘L’

2002).

Heating temperature setting

To set the system ﬂow temperature, use the C.H control knob (ref. 1 - ﬁg. 1). It can

be varied from a minimum of 20°C to a maximum of 90°C.

To set the central heating temperature, use the C.H control knob. Turning it clockwise

increases the temperature, turning it anticlockwise decreases it.

When adjusting the control knob the display will ﬂash for 5 seconds and

display the set point temperature. It will then revert to showing the actual

temperature.

1.3 Turning ON and OFF

Ignition

• Open the gas cock on the boiler.

• Purge the air from the pipework upstream of the gas valve.

• Ensure the power is on to the appliance.

• Press the key to turn the appliance on (ﬁg 1 item 2)

• The boiler is now ready to function automatically whenever the external controls are calling for

heat.

Turning off

Press the key for 5 seconds (see ﬁg. 1).

When the boiler is turned off with this key, the p.c.b is still powered, heating operation is disabled and

the display appears however the frost protection will still be active.

To totally isolate close the gas cock ahead of the boiler and disconnect electrical power.

To avoid damage caused by freezing during long shutdowns in winter, it is advisable to drain all

water from the system.

Domestic hot water temperature adjustment

To set the hot water temperature, use the D.H.W. control knob. Turning it clockwise

increases the temperature, turning it anticlockwise decreases it. It can be varied from

a minimum of 40°C to a maximum of 65°C.

When adjusting the control knob the display will ﬂash for 5 seconds and

display the set point temperature. It will then revert to showing the actual

temperature.

Fault CureDISPLAY

1.5 Maintenance

It is strongly recommended to carry out annual maintenance of the boiler and heating system. Please

refer to the “maintenance” section in this manual.

The casing, the control panel and the aesthetic parts of the boiler can be cleaned using a soft and damp

cloth, do not use abrasives or solvents.

1.6 Faults

In the unlikely event of an operating problem, or component failure, the display ﬂashes and a fault

identiﬁcation code appears.

Listed below are the faults that can be caused by simple, user-detectable problems.

The boiler is equipped with an advanced self-diagnosis system. Should a fault occur with the boiler, the

display will show the fault code. There are some faults that in order to restore operation it requires you

to press RESET (2 - ﬁg. 1); if the boiler fails to start, it may be necessary to rectify the fault indicated

by the operating LEDs (faults from 1 to 26); other faults cause temporary shutdown that are automatically

reset as soon as the value comes back within the boiler’s normal working range (faults from 30 to 47).

Summer/Winter selection

To select Summer/Winter, use knob 1 (ﬁg. 1).

Turning it onto (Summer) turns off the heating function but the frost protection remains active.

Turning it onto (Winter) turns on heating, via the room stat and programmer.

The boiler can still produce domestic hot water during summer mode whenever there is a dem-

mand.

Before calling the FERROLI Caresafe centre, check that the problem is not due to an installation

error or there being no gas or electricity.

If the problem remains after two attempts at resetting, contact your nearest FERROLI Caresafe.

For further fault codes, refer to section 3.4 “Troubleshooting”.

2.2 Boiler location

The unit’s combustion circuit is sealed off from

the installation room and therefore requires no

compartment ventilation.

The installation room must be sufﬁciently well

ventilated to prevent any dangerous conditions

from forming in the event of even slight gas

leakage. This safety standard is required by the

EEC Directive no. 90/396 for all gas units, inclu-

ding those with a so-called sealed chamber.

Therefore the place of installation must be

free of dust, ﬂammable materials or objects

or corrosive gases. The room must be dry and

not subject to freezing.

The boiler is design to be installed on a solid

wall. The wall ﬁxing must ensure a stable and

effective support for the appliance, using the

bracket and ﬁxings supplied.

If the unit is enclosed in cupboard or moun-

ted alongside, there must be space for normal

maintenance work. Fig. 2 and tab. 1 give the

minimum clearances to leave around the unit.
