3 Description
3.1 Operating principle
3.1.1. Gas/air setting
The casing fitted to the boiler is also used as an air box. Air is sucked
in by the fan and gas injected into the venturi by the fan intake. The
fan rotation speed is set according to the settings parameters, the
thermal energy requirement and the temperatures measured by the
temperature sensors. The gas and air are mixed in the venturi. The
gas/air ratio ensures that the quantities of gas and air are adjusted to
each other. This provides optimum combustion on the entire output
range. The gas/air mixture is fed into the burner on top of the
exchanger.
3.1.2. Combustion
The burner heats the heating water circulating in the heat
exchanger. At a return temperature lower than around 55°C, the flue
gases cool down to a temperature lower than the dew point, thus
causing the condensation of the water vapour contained in the flue
gases in the lower section of the heat exchanger. The heat released
during this condensation process (the latent heat or condensing heat)
is also transferred to the heating water. The cooled combustion gases
are evacuated via the combustion gas outlet flue. The condensation
water is evacuated via a condensate trap.
3.1.3. Heating and domestic hot water production
On combi boilers, an integrated plate exchanger heats the domestic
water. A 3-way valve determines whether the heated water is fed into
the heating system or the plate exchanger. A pick-up sensor signals
that a hot water tap is being opened. This signal is transmitted to the
control panel, which then switches the 3-way valve to the hot water
position and trips the heating pump. The 3-way valve is spring-loaded
but only consumes electricity when it switches to another position.
The heating water reheats the domestic water in the plate
exchanger. In comfort mode, if there is no hot water draw-off, the
boiler handles the periodic reheating of the plate exchanger. Any
limescale particles are kept out of the plate exchanger by a selfcleaning water filter (self-cleans once every 76 hours).

4 Operating the boiler
4.1 Commissioning the boiler
1. Check the water pressure in the heating system.
If the water pressure is lower than 0.8 bar, more water
should be added. If necessary, top up the water level in the
heating system (recommended hydraulic pressure
between 1 and 2 bar).
¼
See chapter: "Filling the system", page 15
2. Open the gas valve on the boiler.
3. Turn the boiler on.
4. The boiler will begin an automatic venting-programme (which lasts
approx. 4 minutes) and will do this every time the power supply is
isolated. Both push buttons on the instrument panel light up green
during the venting cycle.
The current operating condition of the boiler is shown by the status
signal on the instrument panel. The status signal for the B button
can flash in a range of colours and at different frequencies. The
meaning of these signals can be found in the User instruction card
supplied with the boiler.

4.3 Installation shutdown
If the central heating system is not used for a long period, we
recommend switching the boiler off.
4 Switch off the boiler electrical power supply.
4 Shut off the gas supply.
4 Ensure that the boiler and system are protected against frost
damage.
4.4 Antifreeze protection
CAUTION
Drain the boiler and central heating system if you are not
going to use your home or the building for a long time and
there is a chance of frost.
Set the temperature control low, for example at 10°C.
To prevent radiators and the system from freezing in rooms where
there is a risk of frost (e.g. a garage or storage room), a frost
thermostat or outside sensor can be connected to the boiler.
CAUTION
4 The antifreeze protection does not function if the
boiler is switched off.
4 The integrated protection system only protects the
boiler, not the installation.
4 Open the valves on all radiators connected to the
heating system
4 If the boiler has been placed in a room at risk of frost,
the condensate drain and condensate trap should
preferably be protected against freezing with a frost
protection cable.
When the heating water temperature in the boiler falls by too much,
the integrated protection system in the boiler starts up. This protection
functions as follows:
4 If the water temperature is lower than 7°C, the heating pump starts
up.
4 If the water temperature is lower than 4°C, the boiler starts up.
4 If the water temperature is higher than 10°C, the boiler shuts down
and the circulation pump continues to run for a short time.

5.3 Filling the system
Topping up without a refilling device:
1. Use the pressure gauge to check the water pressure in the heating
system.
If the water pressure is lower than 0.8 bar, more water
should be added. If necessary, top up the water level in the
heating system (recommended hydraulic pressure
between 1 and 2 bar).
2. Open the valves on all radiators connected to the heating system.
3. Set the room thermostat to as low a temperature as possible.
4. Wait until the temperature drops below 40°C and the radiators
seem cold before filling the central heating system.
5. To fill with water, use a filling tube with two tap connections, a rag
and a bleed key.
6. Connect the filling tube to a (cold) water tap.
7. Eliminate the air from the filling tube. Slowly fill the tube with
water. Hold the end of the tube up, above a bucket. Turn off the
tap as soon as water runs out of the pipe.
8. Unscrew the plug from the filling/draw-off valve.
The filling/draw-off valve is not necessarily located next to
the boiler.
9. Attach the tube to the filling/draw-off valve. Firmly tighten the nut
on the filling tube.
10.Open the filling/draw-off valve on the heating system.
11.Open the running water tap.
12.Use the pressure gauge to check the water pressure in the heating
system.
13.Close the water tap when the water pressure reaches 2 bar.
14.Close the filling/draw-off valve on the heating system. Leave the
tube on the filling/draw-off valve until the air is purged from the
installation.
When water is added, air gets into the heating system:
4 Degas the installation.
4 After the air has been vented, the water pressure can
drop below the required level.
4 Use the pressure gauge to check the water pressure
in the heating system.
4 If the water pressure is lower than 0.8 bar, more water
should be added.
15.After filling the installation, switch the boiler on.

8 Energy savings
8.1 Energy-saving advice
4 Keep the room in which the boiler is installed well ventilated.
4 Do not block ventilation outlets.
4 Do not cover the radiators. Do not hang curtains in front of the
radiators.
4 Install reflective panels behind the radiators to prevent heat
losses.
4 Insulate the pipes in rooms that are not heated (cellars and lofts).
4 Close the radiators in rooms not in use.
4 Do not run hot (or cold) water pointlessly.
4 Install a water-saving shower head to save up to 40 % energy.
4 Take showers rather than baths. A bath consumes twice as much
water and energy.
8.2 Room thermostat and settings
The room thermostat is available in the following versions:
4 2-wire ON/OFF thermostat
4 Modulating thermostat
4 Programmable room temperature thermostat
The type of thermostat and its settings have a considerable influence
on energy consumption.
A few tips:
4 A modulating thermostat, possibly in combination with
thermostatic valve radiators, saves energy and offers
considerable comfort. This combination allows you to set the
temperature on each flow. In the room in which the room
thermostat is installed, do not fit thermostatic valve radiators.
4 Completely closing and opening thermostatic valve radiators
causes undesirable temperature fluctuations. Open and close
thermostatic valves in small steps.
4 Lower the thermostat to around 20°C. This reduces heating costs
and energy consumption.
4 Lower the room thermostat when you air the rooms.
4 When setting an hourly programmable thermostat, keep in mind
the days you are absent or on vacation.
