3 Instructions for the installer
3.1 Installation standards
The boiler must be installed in
compliance with current laws and
standards which are considered an
integral part of this handbook.
3.2 Installation
3.2.1 Packaging
The boiler comes packed in a sturdy
cardboard box on a wooden pallet.
Take the boiler out of the box
and check that it is intact. All the
packaging materials can be recycled
and should be sent to specific waste
management sites.
Keep the packaging out of the
reach of children as it is a source of
hazard.
The Manufacturer declines all
liability for damage or injury
resulting from failure to follow this
rule.
Inside the box is a bag containing the
handbook for the installation, use and
maintenance.
3.2.2 Choosing where to install the
boiler
Rules to bear in mind when choosing
the place:
- It is advisable to leave at least 50 cm
on either side of the boiler for easy
access for maintenance.
- Do not install the boiler in wet or
dusty areas.
- The boiler must not be accessible to
animals, children or anyone else.
3.2.3 Installing the boiler
Before connecting the boiler to the
tap water and heating system pipes,
carefully clean the pipes to remove
all traces of metal resulting from
processing and welding operations
as well as any oil and grease
which could damage the boiler or
jeopardize its operation.N.B. Do not
use solvents which could damage
the components.
The Manufacturer declines all liability
for damage or injury resulting from
failure to follow the above rules.
Proceed as follows to install the boiler:
- Unscrew the four screws securing
the brackets of the boiler to the pallet
(pic. 3).
- Pass belts or cables underneath the
boiler and around the legs, lift it off
the pallet and place it in position on
the ground. Attention: when lifting
the boiler from the pallet, hold it to
prevent it from turning over (pic. 4).
- If the boiler needs to be stabilised,
insert shims between the floor and
the boiler legs.
- Connect the boiler to the flow and
return pipes.
- Remember that the plumbing
system must be fitted with all the
necessary safety and control systems
specified by law (safety valve, water
pressure switch, hot water discharge
valve, pressure gauge, etc.).
- Connect the boiler to the chimney.
- If there is an ambient thermostat,
heating pump or hot water pressure
switch, connect to the wiring system.
- Connect to the mains supply.
Important
Leave at least 10 cm between the
boiler and the wall behind it to
allow removal of the upper panel.
3.2.4 Room ventilation
These boilers have an open
combustion chamber and are
designed for connection to a chimney.
The combustion air is taken directly
from the room in which the boiler is
installed.
The boiler must be installed in a
suitable room pursuant to applicable
standards and laws, which are
considered an integral part of this
handbook.
3.2.5 Flue gas system
These boilers have a flue gas discharge
pipe designed for connection to
a 150 mm Ø duct. As regards flue
gas emission into the atmosphere,
it is mandatory to comply with the
applicable standards and laws, which
are considered an integral part of
this handbook.
The ducts from the boiler must be
connected toa chimneyin compliance
with the applicable standards and
laws, which are considered an
integral part of this handbook.
Below is a list of legal requirements
for chimneys and ducts.
* The diameter must not be less than
the diameter of the boiler discharge
outlet. For square or rectangular
chimneys, the inside cross section
must be 10% greater than that of the
boiler fitting.
* The material used must be
waterproof and resistant to the
flue gas temperatures and acid
condensate.
* Mandatory features are low thermal
conductivity, adeguate mechanical
resistance, perfect seal and carefully
calculated height and cross section.
