Safety instructions for working on the system
Working on the system
■Where gas is used as the fuel, close the main gas
shut-off valve and safeguard it against unintentional
reopening.
■Isolate the system from the power supply, e.g. by
removing the separate fuse or by means of a mains
isolator, and check that it is no longer live.
■Safeguard the system against reconnection.
■Wear suitable personal protective equipment when
carrying out any work.
Danger
Hot surfaces and fluids can lead to burns or
scalding.
■Before maintenance and service work, switch
OFF the appliance and let it cool down.
■Never touch hot surfaces on the boiler, burner,
flue system or pipework.
!Please note
Electronic assemblies can be damaged by elec-
trostatic discharge.
Prior to commencing work, touch earthed
objects such as heating or water pipes to dis-
charge static loads.
Repair work
!Please note
Repairing components that fulfil a safety func-
tion can compromise the safe operation of the
system.
Replace faulty components only with genuine
Viessmann spare parts.

Auxiliary components, spare and wearing parts
!Please note
Spare and wearing parts that have not been tes-
ted together with the system can compromise its
function. Installing non-authorised components
and making non-approved modifications or con-
versions can compromise safety and may inva-
lidate our warranty.
For replacements, use only original spare parts
supplied or approved by Viessmann.
Safety instructions for operating the system
If you smell gas
Danger
Escaping gas can lead to explosions which may
result in serious injury.
■Do not smoke. Prevent naked flames and
sparks. Never switch lights or electrical appli-
ances on or off.
■Close the gas shut-off valve.
■Open windows and doors.
■Evacuate any people from the danger zone.
■Notify your gas or electricity supply utility from
outside the building.
■Have the power supply to the building shut off
from a safe place (outside the building).
If you smell flue gas
Danger
Flue gas can lead to life threatening poisoning.
■Shut down the heating system.
■Ventilate the installation site.
■Close doors to living spaces to prevent flue
gases from spreading.
What to do if water escapes from the appliance
Danger
If water escapes from the appliance there is a
risk of electrocution.
Switch OFF the heating system at the external
isolator (e.g. fuse box, domestic distribution
board).
Danger
If water escapes from the appliance there is a
risk of scalding.
Never touch hot heating water.
Condensate
Danger
Contact with condensate can be harmful to
health.
Never let condensate touch your skin or eyes
and do not swallow it.
Flue systems and combustion air
Ensure that flue systems are clear and cannot be
sealed, for instance due to accumulation of conden-
sate or other external causes.
Avoid continuous condensate disposal with a wind pro-
tector.
Ensure an adequate supply of combustion air.
Inform system users that subsequent modifications to
the building characteristics are not permissible (e.g.
cable/pipework routing, cladding or partitions).
Danger
Leaking or blocked flue systems, or an inade-
quate supply of combustion air can cause life
threatening poisoning from carbon monoxide in
the flue gas.
Ensure the flue system is in good working order.
Vents for supplying combustion air must be non-
sealable.
Extractors
Operating appliances that exhaust air to the outside
(extractor hoods, extractors, air conditioning units, etc.)
can create negative pressure. If the boiler is operated
at the same time, this can lead to a reverse flow of flue
gas.
Danger
The simultaneous operation of the boiler and
appliances that exhausts air to the outside can
result in life threatening poisoning due to a
reverse flow of flue gas.
Fit an interlock circuit or take suitable steps to
ensure an adequate supply of combustion air.

Intended use
The appliance is only intended to be installed and
operated in sealed unvented heating systems that
comply with EN 12828, with due attention paid to the
associated installation, service and operating instruc-
tions as well as the details in the datasheet.
It is only designed for the heating up of heating water.
Commercial or industrial usage for a purpose other
than the heating up of heating water shall be deemed
inappropriate.
Intended use presupposes that a fixed installation in
conjunction with permissible components designed for
this purpose has been carried out.
Every other use will be deemed to be inappropriate.
Any resulting losses are excluded from the manufac-
turer's liability.
Any usage beyond this must be approved by the man-
ufacturer for the individual case.
Intended use also includes the adherence to mainte-
nance and inspection intervals.

Operating and service instructions for the control
unit and the burner
01. Check that the internal pipes are fully inserted into
the hot gas flues; open the boiler door for this. See
chapter "Inserting the internal pipes", page 11.
02. Check that the ventilation air aperture in the instal-
lation room is open.
03. Fill the heating system with water and vent the
system.
Permissible operating pressure: 4 bar (0.4 MPa)
!Please note
Unsuitable water quality can damage the
boiler body.
Operate boilers only with softened water.
Observe the instructions in chapter "Water
quality requirements". See page 22.
04. Enter the amount of fill water and water hardness
into the water quality table in the appendix on
page 25.
05. Check the system pressure.
06. Check the oil level or the gas supply pressure.
07. Open the flue gas damper (if installed).
08. Check that the cleaning aperture on the flue outlet
is closed.
09. Open the shut-off valves in the oil or gas line.
10. Switch ON the mains isolator, the switch for the
heating circuit pump and the burner ON/OFF
switch, in that order. Observe the burner manufac-
turer’s operating instructions.
11. The dew point range must be cleared as quickly
as possible. To do so, prevent any heat supply to
the consumers when heating the system from
cold. This also applies when restarting after main-
tenance and cleaning work.
!Please note
During boiler heat-up, unpleasant fumes
and odours can result from outgassing from
the thermal insulation, the thermal block and
the paint.
Ventilate the room during commissioning.
12. Once the flow temperature has been reached,
successively switch on the heat consumers.
Switch the burner over to automatic mode.
!Please note
When checking CO levels in the flue gas,
internal outgassing from the thermal block
can result in higher values.
Continue to operate the boiler until a decline
can be clearly recognised.
13. Check all gaskets and plugs, and retighten if nec-
essary.
14. Check the boiler door and cleaning cover after
approx. 50 hours run. Tighten the screws.
Shutting down the system
Danger
Opening the connections on the heating water
side whilst the boiler is under pressure can
result in injuries.
First depressurise the boiler.
Only drain the boiler with a suction pump when
the air vent valve is open.
Closing the Vitoair draught stabiliser (if installed)
1. Start the burner. 2. With the pre-purge running, shut down the system.
The control disk will then be closed.
Opening the boiler door and cleaning cover
Note
On gas burners, disconnect the gas supply pipe.

Checking all gaskets and packing cords on the flue gas side
Danger
Leaks can result in a risk of poisoning through
escaping gas.
Check gaskets carefully.
Checking the thermal insulation components on the boiler door
If work needs to be carried out on the thermal insula-
tion, observe the following:
Danger
When working with high temperature insulating
materials that contain zirconium or aluminium
silicate ceramic fibres, fibre dust may develop.
This fibre dust can be harmful to health.
Only trained personnel may adjust or replace
the insulation. Wear suitable protective clothing,
especially breathing equipment and safety gog-
gles.
