Advice for the installer
The installation and rst ignition of the boiler must be performed by qualied personnel in compliance with current national regulations regarding installation, and in conformity with any requirements established by local authorities and public health organisations. After the boiler has been installed, the installer must ensure that the end user receives the declaration of conformity and the operating manual, and should provide all necessary information as to how the boiler and the safety devices should be handled.
These appliance are designed for use on open vented central heating systems. A kit is available to allow the boiler to be used on a sealed system. These appliances are designed for domestic use only. It should be connected to a heating system and a distribution network for domestic hot water, both of which must be compatible with its performance and power levels. The use of the appliance for purposes other than those specied is strictly forbidden. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by improper, incorrect and unreasonable use of the appliance or by the failure to comply with the instructions given in this manual. Installation, maintenance and all other interventions must be carried out in full conformity with the governing legal regulations and the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Incorrect installation can harm persons, animals and possessions; the manufacturing company shall not be held responsible for any damage caused as a result. The boiler is delivered in a carton. Once you have removed all the packaging, make sure the appliance is intact and that no parts are missing. If this is not the case, please contact your supplier. Keep all packaging material (clips, plastic bags, polystyrene foam, etc.) out of reach of children as it may present a potential hazard. In the event of a fault and/or malfunction, turn the appliance o, turn o the gas cock and do not attempt to repair it yourself. Contact a qualied professional instead. Before any maintenance or repair work is performed on the boiler, make sure you have disconnected it from the electricity supply by switching the external bipolar switch to the “OFF” position and removing the fuse. All repairs, which should only be performed using original spare parts, should be carried out by a qualied professional. Failure to comply with the above instructions could compromise the safety of the appliance and invalidate all liability on the part of the manufacturer. In the event of any maintenance or other structural work in the immediate vicinity of the ue or ue gas exhaust devices and their accessories, switch the appliance o by switching the external bipolar switch to the “OFF” position and shutting o the gas control valve. When the work has been completed, a

installation
Avoid installing the boiler where the air inlet can be polluted by chemical products such as chlorine (swimming pool area), or ammonia (hair dresser), or alkalin products (launderette).
Flue
Detailed information on ue assembly can be found in the “Connecting the Flue” section. The boiler must be installed so that the ue terminal is exposed to the free passage of external air at all times and must not be installed in a place likely to cause nuisance. It must not be allowed to discharge into another room or space such as an outhouse or closed lean-to.
Condensing boilers have a tendency to form a plume of water vapour from the ue terminal due to the low temperature of the ue gases. The terminal should therefore be located with due regard for the damage or discolouration that may occur to building within the vicinity and consideration must also be given to adjacent boundaries, openable windows etc. The minimum acceptable clearances are shown on page
12.
11
installation
The minimum acceptable clearances are shown below:
- A Directly above or below an opening, window, etc 300 mm
- B Horizontally to an opening, window, etc 300 mm
- C Below gutters, soils pipes or drain pipes 75 mm
- D Below eaves 200 mm
- E From vertical drain pipe or soil pipe 75 mm
- F From internal or external corner 300 mm
- G Above ground, roof or balcony level 300 mm
- H From a surface facing the terminal 2500 mm
- I From a terminal facing a terminal 2500 mm
- J Vertically from a terminal on the same wall 1500 mm
- K Horizontally from an terminal on the same wall 300 mm
- L Fixed by vertical ue terminal
Note: the flue must Not be iNstalled iN a place likely to
cause a NuisaNce aNd positioNed to eNsure that products of combustioN do Not discharge across a bouNdary
It may be necessary to protect the terminal with a guard, if this is the case it will be necessary to purchase a stainless steel terminal guard. Reference should be made to the Building Regulations for guidance.
Ventilation
The room in which the boiler is installed does not require specic ventilation. If the boiler is installed in a cupboard or compartment, ventilation is not required for cooling purposes.
Gas Supply
The gas installation and tightness testing must be in accordance with the requirements of BS6891. Ensure that the pipe size is adequate for demand including other gas appliances on the same supply.
12
Electrical Supply
The appliance requires an earthed 230V - 50 Hz supply and must be in accordance with current I.E.E. regulations. It must also be possible to be able to completely isolate the appliance electrically. Connection should be via a 3 amp double pole fused isolating switch with contact separation of at least 3mm on both poles. Alternatively, a fused 3 amp, 3 pin plug and unswitched socket may be used, provided it is not used in a room containing a bath or shower, it should only supply the appliance.
Automatic by pass
Ariston recommend that an automatic by pass is installed a minimum of 1.5 metres away from the boiler to ensure the minimum required ow rate is achieved at all times. Additionally the design of the system and its controls must ensure that an adequate temperature dierential is met, and should be such to prevent boiler cycling.

Pump specication
The pump should be tted on the ow pipe from the boiler and have isolating valves each side. A variable duty pump should be set to give a tempe­rature dierential of no greater than 20ºC.
Draining tap
A draining tap must be provided at all the lowest points of the system which will allow the entire system to be drained. A drain tap must also be installed on the ow and return pipes immediately above the boiler to ensure complete draining of the primary ow and return is possible. Drain taps shall be to the current standard of BS
2879.
Sealed water systems
A sealed system kit is available from Ariston. Installa­tion instructions are supplied with the kit.

Flushing and Water Treatment
The boiler is equipped with a stainless steel heat exchanger.
The detailed recommendations for water treatment are given in BS 7593:1992 (Treatment of water in domestic hot water central heating systems); the following notes are given for general guidance.
If the boiler is installed on an existing system, any unsuitable additives must be removed.
Under no circumstances should the boiler be red before the system has been thoroughly ushed; the ushing procedure must be in line with BS 7593:1992.
We highly recommend the use of a ushing detergent appropriate for the metals used in the circuit. These include cleansers produced by Fernox BetzDearbon, whose function is to dissolve any foreign matter that may be in the system.
In hard water areas or where large quantities of water are in the system the treatment of water to prevent premature scaling of the main exchanger is necessary.
The formation of scale compromises the eciency of the thermic heat exchanger because small areas of scale cause a high increase in the temperature of the metallic walls and therefore add to the thermal stress of the heat exchanger.
Demineralised water is more aggressive so in this situation it is necessary to treat the water with an appropriate corrosion inhibitor.
Any treatment of water by additives in the system for frost protection or for corrosion inhibition has to be absolutely suitable for all metals used in the circuit.
The use of a corrosion inhibitor in the sysem such as Fernox MB-1, BetzDearborn Sentinel X100 or Fernox System Inhibitor is recommended to prevent corrosion (sludge) damaging the boiler and system.
If anti-freeze substances are to be used in the system, check carefully that they are compatible with the metals used in the circuit.
MTS suggests the use of suitable anti-freeze products such as Fernox ALPHI 11, which will prevent rust and incrustation taking place. Periodicaly check the pH balance of the water/anti­freeze mixture of the boiler circuit and replace it when the amount measured is out of the range stipulated by the manufacturer (7 < pH < 8). DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANTI-FREEZE
In under-oor systems, the use of plastic pipes without protection against penetration of oxygen through the walls can cause corrosion of the systems metal parts (metal piping, boiler etc), through the formation of oxides and bacterial agents.
installation
To prevent this problem it is necessary to use pipes with an “oxygen proof barrier”, in accordance with standards DIN 4726/4729. If pipes of this kind are
not used, keep the system separate by installing heat exchangers of those with a specic system water treatment.
IMPORTANT Failure to carry out the water treatment procedure will invalidate the appliance guarantee.
System Controls
The boiler is electrically controlled and is suitable for most modern electronic time and temperature controls. The addition of such external controls can be benecial to the ecient operation of the system. The boiler connections for external controls are 240V. MTS supply a range of wired and wireless system controls. Contact your supplier for more details.
Location
The boiler can be installed on any suitable internal wall (suitable sound proong may be required when installing onto a stud partition wall). Provision must be made to allow for the correct routing of the ue and siting of the terminal to allow the safe and ecient removal of the ue products. A compartment or cupboard may be used provided that it has been built or modied for this purpose. It is not necessary to provide permanent ventilation for cooling purposes. Detailed recommendations are given in BS 5440 Part 2. If it is proposed that it is to be installed in a timber framed building then reference should be made to British Gas Document DM2, IGE/UP/7 or advice sought from CORGI.
Where a room sealed appliance is installed in a room containing a bath or shower, the appliance and any electrical switch or appliance control, utilising mains electricity should be situated specically in accordance with current IEE Wiring Regulations.
For unusual locations, special procedures may be necessary. BS 6798:2000 gives detailed guidance on this aspect.

Condensate Discharge
The condensate discharge hose from the boiler must have a continuous fall of 2.5o and must be inserted by at least 50mm into a suitable acid resistant pipe - e.g. plastic waste or overow pipe. The condensate discharge pipe must have a minimum diameter of 22mm, must have a continuous fall and preferably be installed and terminated to prevent freezing. The discharge pipe must be terminated in a suitable position:
i) Connecting into an internal soil stack (at least 450mm above the invert of the stack). A trap giving a water seal of at least 75mm must be incorporated into the pipe run, there also must be an air break upstream of the trap. ii) Connecting into the waste system of the building such as a washing maching or sink trap. The connection must be upstream of the washing machine/sink. If the connection is downstream of the waste trap then an additional trap giving a minimum water seal of 75mm and an air break must be incorporated in the pipe run, as above. iii) Terminating into a gully, below the grid level but above the water level iv) Into a soakaway
Note: If any condensate pipework is to be installed externally then it should be kept to a minimum and be insulated with a waterproof insulation and have a continuous fall. The total length of external pipe used should not exceed 3 metres.
Some examples of the type of condensate terminations can be found below.

installation
Filling the system/condensate discharge
Fill the central heating and bleed air from the system as described in the Commissioning Instructions.
The system should be carefully checked for leaks, as frequent relling could cause premature system corrosion or unnecessary scaling of the heat exchanger.
Pay special attention not to bend the condensate silicone drain pipe is such a way as to interrupt the ow. Please only use drain pipe material compatible with condensate products (refer to BS 6798:2000).
The condensate ow can reach 2 litres/hour because of the acidity of the condensate products (Ph close to 2), take care before operation.
See page 16 for condensate discharge options.
Method of positioning the boiler on the wall
The paper template can be used to ensure the correct positioning of kitchen cabinets etc.
The paper template has to be xed to the wall and used to locate the position of the hanging bracket and the centre for the ue hole. Drill and plug the wall and secure the hanging bracket using the screws provided, ensure the hanging bracket is xed square on the wall. Remove the boiler from its packaging. Place the boiler on the hanging bracket.

Make sure, using the labels on the packaging and the data plate on the appliance itself, that the boiler is in the correct country and that the gas category for which the boiler was designed corresponds to one of the categories available in the country where it will be used. The gas supply piping must be created and measured out in compliance with specic legal requirements and in accordance with the maximum power of the boiler; ensure the gas isolation valve is connected correctly, see drawing opposite. Check that the supplied gas corresponds to the type of gas for which the boiler was designed (see the data plate located on the appliance itself). It is also important to check that the pressure of the gas (methane or LPG) you will be using to feed the boiler is suitable, because if it is insucient the power may be reduced, causing inconvenience for the user.
