1.3.1 Switching on

DANGER
It is presumed that the boiler has been installed by a qualified installer, it has been commissioned and is ready to operate
correctly.

• Open the gas shut-off cock.

• Turn the master switch installed ahead of the boiler to ON.
• The display turns on and indicates the function currently active (see Interpreting boiler status from display indications on page 11).
• Select the boiler operating mode: OFF/SUMMER/WINTER/CH ONLY (see button (C) in Fig. 1 Control panel on page 9).
• Set desired CH temperature (see CH function on page 12).
• Set desired DHW temperature (see DHW function on page 13).
• Set the desired room temperature on the ambient thermostat inside the home (if installed).

WARNING
After a prolonged period with the boiler not in use, and with LPG fired boilers in particular, some starting difficulty may
be encountered.
Before starting the boiler switch on another gas powered device (e.g. kitchen range).
Beware that even by following this procedure, the boiler might still experience some starting difficulties and shut down
once or twice. Press the “RESET” button to restore boiler operation.

1.3.2 Selecting the operating mode

To select the boiler operating mode, press the C button. Select operating mode.
Whenever button is pressed, the following modes are enabled in sequence: "SUMMER", "WINTER", "CH ONLY", "OFF".
"SUMMER" operating status
When the "SUMMER" mode is enabled, only the DHW production function is active.
"WINTER" operating status
When the "WINTER" mode is enabled, both DHW and CH functions are active.
"CH ONLY" operating status
When the "CH ONLY" mode is enabled, only the heating water production function is active.
"OFF" operating status
When the "OFF" mode is enabled, no function is active.

1.3.3 CH function
To set the water temperature for central heating, press the +/- HEATING buttons.
Heating temperature adjustment range depends on the selected operating range.:
• standard range: from 20°C to 78°C (pressing CH +/-);
• reduced range: from 20°C to 45°C (pressing CH +/-).

Operation range selection is to be implemented by a installer or a qualified Service Centre (see par. Selecting the operating range in
heating mode on page 48).
During temperature setting, the symbol flashes on the screen and the CH current temperature setting is displayed.
When the CH system requests heat from the boiler, the LCD displays the CH symbol and the current CH flow water temperature.
The waiting time between one switching on of the boiler and another, in order to avoid the boiler coming on and off when in central
heating mode, is between 0 and 10 minutes (4 by default), which can be changed with parameter P11.
Should water temperature in the system fall below set minimum value, between 20°C and 78°C (default value 30°C for standard ran-
ge, 20°C for reduced range) to be edited with the P27 parameter, the waiting time is reset and the boiler re-ignites.
The burner ON symbol shows while the burner is operating.

12 Instructions for the user

1.3.4 DHW function
DHW production function is enabled on model KC and on KR/KRB models with external water heater (optional).
DHW production function is enabled in one of the following operating modes: SUMMER or WINTER.
Such function has always priority over CH water supply.
To set the domestic hot water temperature, press DHW +/- buttons.
During temperature setting, the symbol flashes on the screen and the DHW current temperature setting is displayed.
Model KC
For KC model, DHW temperature may be set within a range from +35 °C to +57 °C.

WARNING
A flow limiter is installed within the boiler, which limits DHW output flow rate.
This limit is: 10 litres per minute for model KC 12; 13 litres per minute for model KC 24 and 14 litres per minute for model
KC 28.

Models KR/KRB
On KR/KRB models with external water heater (optional) and water heater temperature probe (optional, supplied by the manufacturer;
included in the standard supply for KRB model), temperature range is between 35 °C and 65 °C.
On KR/KRB models with external water heater (optional) and water heater probe (optional, supplied by the manufacturer), every 15
days the anti-legionella function will be enabled, consisting in raising the water heater temperature to 65°C for 30 minutes indepen-
dent of other settings.

1.3.5 Freeze protection function

This boiler is fitted with a freeze protection system, which works when the following functions are activated: OFF/SUMMER/WINTER/
CH ONLY.

DANGER
The freeze protection function only protects the boiler, not the whole heating system.

The central heating system can be effectively protected against icing by using specific anti-freeze products that are suitable for multi-
metal systems.

WARNING
Do not use anti-freeze products for car engines, and check the effectiveness of the product used over time.

In case burner cannot be ignited due to the lack of gas, the freeze protection functions are anyway enabled through the circulation
pumps.

1.3.5.1 Flow freeze protection function

When the heating water temperature sensor detects a water temperature of +5 °C, the boiler switches on and stays on at its minimum
heat output until the temperature reaches +30 °C or 15 minutes have elapsed.
The pump continues to operate even if the boiler shuts down.

1.3.5.2 Plate heat exchanger freeze protection (only model KC)

When the DHW temperature sensor detects a water temperature of +5°C, the boiler switches on and stays on at its minimum heat
output until the DHW temperature reaches +10°C or 15 minutes have elapsed (the deviating valve is in the DHW position).
During the DHW freeze protection operation the temperature detected by the flow probe is constantly checked, and in case it reaches
+60 °C the burner is switched off.
The burner is switched on again if the operation request in anti-freeze mode is still present and the flow temperature is below +60°C.
The pump continues to operate even if the boiler shuts down.

Instructions for the user

13
1.3.5.3 Water heater freeze protection function (for models KR/KRB with external water heater).
The water cylinder probe measures the temperature of water in the cylinder. When this temperature is less than 5°C a water heater
frost protection function begins: the circulating pump begins working and the burner is switched on.
On KR/KRB models with external water cylinder (optional) with NTC probe (10 kΩ @ ß=3435; refer to water cylinder technical speci-
fications), the frost protection function also protects the water heater.
When water heater probe detects a water temperature of +5 °C, the boiler switches on and stays on at its minimum heat output until
the temperature of the water heater water reaches +10 °C or 15 minutes have elapsed.
The pump continues to operate even if the boiler shuts down.
During the water heater anti-freeze operation the temperature detected by the flow probe is constantly checked, and in case it reaches
+60°C the burner is switched off.
The burner is switched on again if the operation request in anti-freeze mode is still present and the flow temperature is below +60°C.

1.3.6 Anti-seize function

If the boiler remains inactive and connected to the power mains, the circulation pump and the deviating valve (if any) will be shortly
enabled every 24 hours so as to avoid any shut-down.
The same applies to the relay which can be freely programmed whenever this latter is used to power a recirculation pump or a de-
viating valve.

1.3.7 Timed post-circulation function

After each central heating, DHW or freeze protection request, the pump continues to be powered for 30 seconds.
If a new central heating, DHW or freeze protection request is received during this period, the post-circulation function is cancelled in
order to fulfil the request.

1.3.8 Timed post-ventilation function

After each central heating, DHW or freeze protection request, the fan continues to work for 10 seconds.
If a new operating request is received during this period, the post-ventilation function is cancelled in order to fulfil the request.

1.3.9 Operation with external probe (optional)

Boiler can be connected to a probe measuring the external temperature (optional - not compulsory, supplied by the manufacturer)
Once the external temperature value is known, the boiler will automatically adjust the heating water temperature: increasing it as the
external temperature decreases and decreasing it as the external temperature increases. This will both improve room comfort and
reduce fuel consumption. The maximum temperature is respected all the same.
This boiler operating mode is called "sliding temperature operation".
Heating water temperature varies based on a programme written inside boiler electronic microprocessor.
With an external sensor, the +/- HEATING buttons no longer set the heating water temperature, and become buttons for changing the
theoretical room temperature desired for the rooms to be heated.
During temperature setting, the fictitious ambient temperature symbol flashes on the display and the value being set is shown.
For optimal curve adjustment, a position close to +20 °C is recommended.
For further details on "cruising temperature operation", refer to paragraph Installation of the (optional) external probe and sliding
temperature operation on page 48.

WARNING
Only original external temperature probes supplied by the manufacturer must be used.
The use of non-original external probes, not supplied by the manufacturer, may affect the operation of the external probe
itself and of the boiler.

14 Instructions for the user

1.3.10 Operation with (optional) remote control
The boiler can also be connected to a Remote Control (optional - not compulsory, supplied by the manufacturer) so as to manage
several boiler parameters, such as:
• boiler status selection.
• ambient temperature selection.
• CH system water temperature selection.
• DHW temperature selection.
• CH system and (optional) external water heater activation time programming
• boiler diagnostics display.
• boiler reset and other parameters.

and the LCD will display the code:
In this case, contact a Service Centre or a qualified service engineer to carry out the maintenance.

Instructions for the user

15
1.4.4 Shut-down due to low water pressure
Fault code E04 is displayed on the LCD display in the event of shut-down triggered by the water pressure switch.
Fill the system by working on filler cock (A) (see Fig. 2 Filler cock - (A*) option).
Water pressure must be 1÷1.3 bars while the boiler is cold.
In order to restore water pressure, proceed as follows:
• Turn the filler cock anticlockwise to allow water to enter the boiler;
• Keep the filler cock open until the pressure gauge shows a value of 1÷1.3 bar;
• Turn cock clockwise to close it.

Should boiler shuts down frequently occur it means there is boiler malfunction in progress. Contact qualified personnel or an autho-
rised service centre for maintenance.

DANGER

• check the wall for sturdiness, avoiding weak areas.
• do not install the boiler over appliances which may affect boiler operation (e.g. cookers, which produce steam and grease, washing
machines etc.).
• do not install boilers in locations with a corrosive or very dusty atmosphere, such as hairdresser salons, laundries etc., as this may
severely reduce the lifespan of the components of the boiler.
• avoid installing the air intake terminal in rooms or areas with corrosive or very dusty atmosphere to protect the heat exchanger.

3.3 Positioning the boiler

Each boiler is supplied with a paper template, found inside the packaging (see Fig. 9 Paper template).
The template allows you to ensure that the pipes connected to the CH system, the DHW system and the gas mains, and the air intake/
flue gas venting ducts are all laid out correctly during the realisation of the water system and before installation of the boiler.
This template is made of heavy-duty paper and must be fixed, with the help of a level, onto the wall where the boiler is to be mounted.
The template provides all the indications required to drill the boiler mounting holes to the wall, procedure which is done using two
screws and wall blocks.
The lower area of the template shows where to mark the exact point at which the couplings are to be positioned for boiler connection
to the gas supply pipe, cold water mains supply pipe, hot water outlet, CH flow and return pipes.
The upper area of the template shows where air intake and flue gas ducts are to be positioned.

3.4 Installing the boiler

DANGER
Before connecting the boiler to CH and DHW networks, clean the pipes carefully.
Before commissioning a NEW system, clean it to remove any metal chips due to machining and welding, and any oil and
grease that might negatively affect boiler operation or even damage it in case they get inside it.
Before commissioning a RECONDITIONED system (where radiators have been added, the boiler has been replaced, etc.)
thoroughly clean it to remove any sludge and residues.
Clean the system using standard non acid products, available on the market.
Do not use solvents as they could damage system components.
Furthermore, in the central heating system (either new or reconditioned), it is always advisable to add to water a suitable
percentage of corrosion protectants for multi-metal systems that will create a protective film onto all internal surfaces.
The manufacturer shall not be held responsible in case of damage to people, animals, or property due to failure to follow
the above mentioned instructions.

3.7 Checking combustion efficiency

3.7.1 Flue cleaning function

The boiler features a flue cleaning function which must be used to measure combustion efficiency during operation and to adjust the
burner.
To activate the flue cleaning function, press and hold the buttons “Info” and “Reset” simultaneously for 5 seconds. The flow tempera-
ture and the symbol are shown on the LCD.
With the boiler in "WINTER" or "HEATING ONLY" mode, by activating the chimney sweep mode the boiler carries out the turning on
phase and then moves to fixed power operation pre-set by parameter P7 (maximum heating power).
To exit the flue cleaning mode, press “Reset” or wait 15 minutes.

3.7.2 Measurement procedure

The boiler is equipped with a tower allowing for air intake/flue gas venting pipe connection (see Fig. 19 Plugs position and Fig. 20
Hole position).
The tower is designed with two pre-arranged openings directly accessing air and flue gas ducts (see Fig. 20 Hole position).
Remove caps A and B from the pre-arranged openings on the tower, before starting combustion checking procedure (see. Fig. 19
Plugs position).
In order to verify combustion efficiency the following measurements must be implemented:
• assess combustion air from opening 1 (see Fig. 20 Hole position).
• assess flue gas temperature and CO2 from opening 2 (see Fig. 20 Hole position).
Allow boiler to reach working temperature before taking any measurement.

44 Instructions for the installer

3.8 Connection to gas mains
Cross-section gas pipe size must be chosen depending on its length, layout pattern, gas flow rate.
Gas supply pipe cross-section must be equal or greater than boiler gas pipe.

DANGER
Comply with installation standards enforced in the country where the boiler is installed which are considered as fully
transcribed in this booklet.
Remember that before operating an indoor gas distribution system and before connecting it to a meter, it must be che-
cked for leaks.
If some system parts are not visible, the leak test is to be carried out before the pipes are covered.
Leak test is NOT to be carried out employing flammable gas: use air or nitrogen for this purpose.
Once gas is in the pipes, leak test by a naked flame is forbidden; use specific products available on the market.
When connecting the boiler to gas supply network, it is COMPULSORY to install an appropriately sized gasket (A) made
from suitable material (see Fig. 21 Connection to gas mains).
The boiler gas inlet coupling is NOT suitable for hemp, teflon tape or similarly made gaskets.

Fig. 21 Connection to gas mains

3.9 Hydraulic connections

3.9.1 Central heating

Prior to installing the boiler, the hydraulic system is to be cleaned in order to remove impurities; they could be present in system com-
ponents and damage the pump and the heat exchanger.
The CH outlet and return pipes must be connected to the respective 3/4” connectors M and R on the boiler (see Fig. 9 Paper tem-
plate).
When calculating the cross section of CH system pipes, bear in mind load losses induced by radiators, thermostatic valves, radiator
gate valves, and the configuration of the system itself.

WARNING
It is advisable to convey the discharge flow of boiler safety valve to the sewer system. Should the above precaution not
be implemented and the safety valve be activated, boiler room flooding may occur.
The manufacturer shall not be held responsible in case of damage to people, animals, or property due to failure to follow
the above mentioned instructions.

Instructions for the installer

45
3.9.2 DHW
Prior to installing the boiler, the hydraulic system is to be cleaned in order to remove impurities; they could be present in system com-
ponents and damage the pump and the heat exchanger.
Model KC
Cold water inlet and DHW outlet shall be connected to the boiler through the dedicated 1/2" F and C fittings.
Hardness of water supplied to the boiler may increase the plate heat exchanger cleaning/replacement intervals.
Model KR
Cold water inlet shall be connected to the boiler through the special 1/2" fitting F.
Model KRB
Return from the water heater (RB) and flow to water heater (MB) must be connected to the respective 1/2” connectors F and C on
the boiler

WARNING
Depending on the hardness of the mains water supply, ascertain whether or not to install appropriate domestic water
treatment systems using water treatment products suitable for drinking water and compliant with the regulations and
standards in force in the country of installation.
Water treatment is always advisable when water supplied to the boiler has a hardness that is more than 15°F.
Water supplied by commonly marketed water softeners could, due to the chemical and physical characteristics that it
takes, not be compatible with some heating system components as the loading of the system is done with DHW system
water.
For this reason it is better to use polyphosphate feeders.

3.9.3 Condensate drain

Comply with condensate drain laws and standards applicable in the country of installation, which are considered herein integrally
transcribed.
Unless forbidden, the condensate produced by combustion is to be routed via the condensate drain through a discharge system
connected to the domestic sewer, which due to its basicity, counteracts flue gas condensate acidity. In order to avoid domestic sewer
odour to reach the premises, it is advisable to install an appropriate device between the discharge system and the domestic sewer.
The condensate drain system and the domestic discharge system is to be made of an adequate, condensate-resistant material.
Condensate drain system must be connected to specific fitting (A) in the boiler (see Fig. 22 Condensate drain).
It is strictly forbidden to connect condensate drain system in trap inspection point (B).

WARNING
The manufacturer shall not be held responsible in case of damage to people, animals, or property due to failure to follow
the above mentioned instructions.

Fig. 22 Condensate drain

46 Instructions for the installer

3.10 Connection to electrical mains
The boiler is supplied with a three-poled power cable, already connected to the electronic board and it is provided with a safety clamp.
The boiler is to be connected to a 230V-50Hz electrical power supply.
When connecting it to power mains, follow correct phase / neutral polarity sequence.
Installation standards must be complied with and they are herein considered as entirely transcribed.
An easily accessible two-poled switch, with a minimum 3 mm distance between contacts, is to be installed ahead of the boiler. The
switch is to allow power supply cut-off in order to safely perform maintenance and service procedures.
Power supply to the boiler must be fitted with a residual-current circuit breaker having suitable disconnection capacity. Electric power
supply must be properly earthed.
The above mentioned safety measure must be verified. If in doubt, ask a qualified technician to thoroughly check the power network.

WARNING
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by failure to earth the system correctly: gas, water,
or CH system pipes are not suitable for grounding power networks.

3.11 Connection to ambient thermostat (optional)

The boiler is designed to be connected to an ambient thermostat (optional, not compulsory).
Ambient thermostat contacts must be properly sized in compliance with a load of 5 mA at 24 Vdc.
The ambient thermostat cables must be connected to terminals (1) and (2) of the electronic board (see Wiring diagrams) after elimi-
nating the jumper supplied as a standard with the boiler.
The ambient thermostat cables are not to be grouped together in the same sheath as power mains supply cables.

3.12 Installation and operation with Open Therm Remote Control (optional)

WARNING
Only use original Remote Control Units supplied by the manufacturer.
The correct operation of the Remote Control itself and of the boiler is not guaranteed if non original Remote Control units
not supplied by the manufacturer are used.

The boiler may be connected to an Open Therm Remote Control (non-compulsory optional accessory supplied by manufacturer).
The Remote Control must only be installed by qualified personnel.
To install the Remote Control, refer to the instructions provided with the Remote Control itself.
The Remote Control must be installed on an indoor wall at a height of approximately 1.5 m from the floor and in a suitable location
for measuring ambient temperature: do not install in recess or corners, behind doors or curtains, and install away from heat sources,
direct sunlight, air draughts and water sprays.
The Remote Control cables must be connected to terminals 3 and 4 of the electronic board.
The Remote Control connector is protected against inverted polarity, and the connections may be inverted.

WARNING
Do not connect the remote control to mains electrical power 230 V ~ 50 Hz.
The remote control wiring must not be grouped together in the same sheath as the power cables: if the cables are shea-
thed together, electrical interference from the power cables may compromise the functions of the Remote Control;

Instructions for the installer

47
For complete instructions on how to program the Remote Control, refer to the instruction manual included in the Remote Control kit.
Board and Remote Control communicate in each operating mode: OFF, SUMMER, WINTER, CH ONLY.
Boiler display layout corresponds to the setting made from the Remote Control, as for the operating mode.
The remote control may be used to view and set a number of special parameters denominated TSP parameters and reserved solely
for qualified technicians.
Setting the TSP0 parameter sets the default data table and reloads all original data, cancelling any modifications previously made to
individual parameters.
If a single parameter is found to be incorrect, the value given in the default value table is restored.
If the user attempts to set a value not within the permissible range for the parameter, the new value is rejected and the existing value
is maintained.

3.13 Selecting the operating range in heating mode

Heating water temperature adjustment range depends on the selected operating range.:
• standard range: from 20°C to 78°C (pressing CH +/-);
• reduced range: from 20°C to 45°C (pressing CH +/-).

The standard range is active with curves P10 ≥1, while the reduced range is active with curves P10 <1.
The two ranges can also be selected even with the external probe disconnected.
The waiting time between one boiler ignition and the following one, used to prevent boiler frequent turning on and off is 4 minutes for
both ranges, and can be edited with the parameter P11.
If system water temperature decreases below a certain value, the waiting time is reset and the boiler re-ignited, as shown in the fol-
lowing table:

Selected range Re-ignition temperature

Standard range < 30°C (P27)
Reduced range < 20°C
Tab. 12 Boiler re-ignition temperature

Operation range selection is to be implemented by a qualified installer or a Service Centre.

3.14 Installation of the (optional) external probe and sliding temperature operation
The boiler can be connected to an (optional) external temperature probe (optional, provided by the manufacturer) for sliding tempe-
rature operation.

WARNING
Only original external temperature probes supplied by the manufacturer must be used.
If non-original external temperature probes are used, correct operation of the boiler and external probe cannot be gua-
ranteed.

The external temperature probe must be connected by means of a double insulated wire, minimum cross-section 0.35 sq.mm.
The external probe must be connected to terminals (5) and (6) of boiler electronic board.

WARNING
The temperature probe cables must NOT be routed together with power cables.

48 Instructions for the installer

The temperature probe must be installed on an outside wall facing NORTH - NORTH EAST, in a position protected from weather.
Do not install near a window, ventilation openings or sources of heat.
The external temperature probe automatically modifies the CH flow temperature in relation to:
• Measured external temperature.
• Selected thermoregulation curve.
• Selected fictitious ambient temperature.

The thermoregulation curve is selected via parameter P10.

During adjustment, the set value will flash on LCD. Such value can also be read as parameter TSP10 on the Remote Control (when
installed).
The fictitious ambient temperature is set using +/- CH buttons that, with external probe installed, no longer work to set the heating
water temperature (see Operation with external probe (optional) on page 14).
Through boiler parameter P30 it is possible to display the value of the outside temperature detected by the external probe.
The figure shows the curves for a fictitious ambient temperature of 20°C.Parameter P10 allows selecting the curve value shown (see
Fig. 23 Thermoregulation curves).
If fictitious ambient temperature value is edited on boiler display, the curves shift up or down, respectively, by the same amount.
With a fictitious ambient temperature setting of 20°C, for example, if you select the curve corresponding to parameter 1 and the outdo-
or temperature is - 4°C, the CH flow temperature will be 50°C.

3.16 Filling the system
Once all boiler connections have been completed, CH system can be filled.
The procedure is to be cautiously carried out, following each step:
• Open the bleeding valves on all radiators and verify the boiler automatic valve operation.
• Gradually open the relevant filler cock, checking any automatic bleeding valves installed in the system properly work (see Fig. 2
Filler cock - (A*) option).
• Close all radiator bleeding valves as soon as water starts coming out.
• Check on pressure gauge that water pressure reaches the 1÷1.3 bar reading.
• Shut the filler cock and bleed any air out again, by opening the air bleeding valves on radiators.
• Start the boiler and bring the system to working temperature, stop the pump, and repeat air bleeding procedure.
• Allow the system to cool and restore water pressure to 1÷1.3 bars.

WARNING
The low water safety pressure switch will not electrically enable the burner ignition when water pressure is below 0.4-0.6
bar.
The CH system water pressure must not be lower than 1 bar. Otherwise, fill the heating system.
The procedure is to be followed while the system is cold.
Pressure gauge is used to read pressure inside the heating circuit.

WARNING
As for water treating in the domestic heating systems in order to optimise efficiency and safety, ensure a long life, trouble-
free operation of auxiliary equipment, minimise power consumption, thereby integrating the standards and rules in force
in the country of installation, it is recommended to use specific products suitable for multi-metal heating systems.

3.17 Starting up the boiler

3.17.1 Preliminary checks

Before starting the boiler, check that:
• The flue gas venting duct and the relevant terminal are installed in conformity with the instructions: with the boiler operating, there
must be no leakage of combustion by-products from any of the gaskets.
• The supply power to the boiler must be 230 V ~ 50 Hz.
• The heating system is correctly filled with water (pressure gauge reading 1÷1.3 bar).
• Any shut-off cocks in the system pipes are open.
• The mains gas type is correct for the boiler calibration: convert the boiler to the available gas if necessary (see Adaptation to other
gas types and burner adjustment on page 61). This operation is to be exclusively carried out by qualified personnel.
• The gas supply cock is open.
• There are no fuel gas leaks.
• The main switch installed adjacent to the boiler is turned on.
• The safety valve is not blocked.
• The condensate trap installed on the boiler is discharging condensate correctly and is not stuck.

3.17.2 Switching on and switching off

To switch the boiler on and off, refer to the “Instructions for the User” (see Instructions for the user on page 9).

54 Instructions for the installer

3.18 Available head
The boiler is equipped with a high-efficiency circulation pump with variable speed.
Circulation pump speed is automatically managed by the electronics, based on the settings of "super technical" parameters of the
boiler.
It is possible to choose between two pump working modes:
1 “Constant ΔT” operation
In the constant ΔT operating mode, circulation pump speed changes automatically to keep system delivery and return ΔT fixed at a
value set in the boiler "super technical" parameters.
2 “Fixed speed” operation
In the fixed speed operating mode, circulation pump speed remains constant at the value set in the boiler "super technical" parame-
ters.

In DHW mode circulation pump works at a fixed speed, set via the relevant "super technical" parameters of the boiler.

WARNING
Circulation pump is set to constant ΔT operating mode during production.
For a correct operation of the boiler, it is recommended not to change factory setting.
Should it be necessary to change circulation pump settings, contact a Service Centre.

6. Decommissioning, disassembly and disposal

WARNING
Gas boilers are electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and when decommissioned they become waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE), therefore, they must be disposed of in compliance with the legislation in force in the count-
ry of installation.
Gas boilers are classified as domestic appliances and must be disposed of in the same way as washing machines, dish
washers and tumble dryers (R2 WEEE waste).
The disassembly of gas boilers and their disposal is therefore forbidden through channels not specifically provided for
by law.

Decommissioning, disassembly and disposal operations must be performed with boiler cold and disconnected from gas and power
mains.

WARNING
The user is not authorised to carry out such operations.
