2 Safety instructions and recommendations

2.1 Safety instructions

2.1.1 Fire hazard

DANGER



If you smell gas:

1. Do not use a bare flame, do not smoke, do not actuate electrical

contacts or switches ( doorbell, light, motor, lift, etc..).

2. Cut the gas supply.

3. Open the windows.

4. Evacuate the premises.

5. Call your fitter.

2.1.2 Risk of being burnt

DANGER



Depending on the settings of the appliance:

` The temperature of the flue gas conduits may exceed 60°C.

` The temperature of the radiators may reach 95°C.

2.2 Recommendations

The installation and the first start-up must be performed by a qualified
professional.

Only qualified professionals are authorised to work on the



appliance and the instalation.

DANGER



If you smell flue gases:

1. Switch the appliance off

2. Open the windows.

3. Evacuate the premises

4. Call your fitter

` The temperature of the domestic hot water may reach 65°C.

Avoid direct contact with the flame viewport.





Aeration

The air inlet into the premises must in no event be obstructed, even
partially.

Maintenance



` Regularly check the water pressure in the installation (minimum



pressure 0.8 bar, recommended pressure between 1.5 and 2
bar).

` Keep the appliance accessible at all times.

` Never remove or cover labels and rating plates affixed to the

appliance. Labels and rating plates must be legible throughout
the entire lifetime of the appliance.

15/10/2009 - 300017555-001-C SGC 24 SOL

The servicing and cleaning of the boiler and the sweeping of the flue
gas pipe and the bleed pot must be done at least once a year by a
qualified professional.

We recommend that you take out a maintenance contract.



The boiler is fitted with an antifreeze system. In the event of total
shutdown of the heating in winter which may lead to the danger of
freezing (switching off of radiators and current), we recommend using
a correctly dosed anti-freeze product to stop the heating water
freezing. Failing this, drain the installation completely (in all cases,
consult your fitter).

Do not neglect to service the appliance:
For completely safe and optimum operation, you must
have your boiler regularly serviced by an approved
installer.

4.1 Start the boiler

` Check the water pressure in the installation several times a

year.
If necessary, top up the boiler with water.
The water pressure in the installation must be between 1.5 and
2 bar.

` Open the gas valve.

` Set the 6-position switch T to

(winter mode).

` If using a room temperature thermostat or a communicating

remote control, turn them to heating request.

`

` The boiler will begin an automatic venting-programme (which

lasts approx. 3 minutes) and will do this every time the power
supply is isolated.

` The regulator starts an initialisation phase during which the LED

flashes red and green. When initialisation is complete, the
regulator changes to automatic mode. The factory settings for
this mode give optimum performance with most installations.

4. Operating instructions

4.5 Prolonged absence

4.5.1 Switching off the appliance

If the central heating system is not used for a long period, we
recommend switching the boiler off.

1. Switch the boiler off.

4.5.2 Antifreeze protection

The boiler must be installed in a frost-free environment.



We recommend setting the boiler thermostat to a value off 10°C if
using a classic installation.

If the temperature of the central heating water in the boiler falls too
much, the integrated protection device switches itself on:

- If the water temperature is lower than 7°C, the circulating pump is
activated.

- If the water temperature is lower than 3°C, the boiler is activated.

- When the water temperature is above 10 °C, the boiler is switched
off and the circulation pump runs for another 15 minutes.

2. Cut the power supply to the boiler.

3. Close the gas valve.

5.2 Periodic checks

` Regularly check the water pressure in the installation (minimum

pressure 0.8 bar, recommended pressure between 1.5 and 2
bar).
If the water pressure is too low, add more water to the

valves to prevent the noise annoyance likely to be produced during
heating or water draw-off.

To do this, proceed as follows:

1. Open the valves on all radiators connected to the heating system.

6.3.2 The burner is operating but the radiators are cold

 Air and water noise in the radiators

` Bleed the radiators.

` Top up the heating circuit with water.

` If it is often necessary to top up the installation with water,

contact your fitter.

` If the problem persists, consult your fitter.



The burner is operating but the radiators are cold

` Check that the boiler heating pump is operating correctly.

` If the problem persists, consult your fitter

6.3.3 The domestic hot water does not appear hot enough

 Flow of water from the tap too high.

The higher the flow, the lower the temperature.

` Reduce the flow from the hot water tap.

` If several draw-off points are open at the same time, close one

or other of the points.

6.3.4 Hot water takes a very long time to reach certain draw-off points and not others

This is due to the length of the hot water pipes between the draw-off
points and the boiler.
The greater the length, the longer the time necessary for the hot
water to replace the colder water in the pipes.

8 Energy savings

8.1 Energy-saving advice

` Keep the room in which the boiler is installed well ventilated.

` Do not obstruct aeration grates (even partially). They help to

reduce humidity in the home. The more humid a home, the
more heating it consumes.

` Do not cover the radiators. Do not hang curtains in front of the

radiators.

` Install reflector panels behind the radiators.

` Insulate pipes to prevent thermal losses and condensation.

` Turn heating off when airing a room (5 minutes a day is

sufficient)
Avoid deregulating the thermostat. Place the start/stop switch
on Off.

(3) Cold water temperature: 10 °C

` Close the radiators in rooms not in use.

` Do not run hot (or cold) water pointlessly.

` Fit a water-saving shower head to save up to 40 energy.

` Take showers rather than baths.A bath consumes twice as

much water and energy.

` Do not shut down heating completely if you are absent.

Lower the thermostat by 3-4°C.

` Use the sun's heat as much as possible.

8.2 Room thermostat and settings

The type of thermostat and its setting have a considerable influence
on energy consumption.

A few tips:

` A modulable 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.

` Completely closing and opening thermostatic valve radiators

causes undesirable temperature fluctuations.
Open and close thermostatic valves in small steps.

` Lower the room thermostat when you air the rooms.

` When setting an hourly programmable thermostat, bear days

when you are absent and holidays in mind.
