GENERAL INFORMATION
Description
Boiler GN3 is a new highly efficient heat generator. It
produces hot water for heating purposes and is able to
operate with either liquid and/or gas fuelled burners.
The boiler shell consists of cast iron elements assembled
with double steel cones and rods. The shape has been
specially designed for optimum fin distribution in order to
achieve high thermal efficiency with consequently excellent enery savings.
Together with the dry chamber, the shape of the shell
enables this appliance to operate with delivery temperatures of about 60°C without the formation of condensate.
Boiler insulation consists of a thick layer of mineral wool
which reduces heat dispersion in the environment to the
minimum.
Packing (fig. 2)
Boiler GN3 can be supplied in two types of pack: with the
boiler shell assembled or in parts:
In the former case, 3 packs will be sent including:
1. Boiler body
2. Casing
3. Control panel
In the latter case, there will be 4 packs containing:
2. Casing
3. Control panel
4. Group of elements
5. Accessory kit

INSTALLATION
The boiler must only be installed by qualified Personnel,
in compliance with the Manufacturer’s instructions and all
the Laws and provisions which govern the matter.
Particular attention should be paid to safety Provisions
and those which govern the construction and location of
flues.
Base (fig. 9)
GN3 is a boiler which does not require a special base.
Just prepare a simple plinth which can be reinforced if
necessary, in order to facilitate boiler positioning. In some
cases, particular installations may require a special
soundproofed base.
Boiler positioning (fig. 10)
When building the base check, after boiler assembly with
the
burner on the front door, that this latter can open without
the burner hitting against the wall or any other boiler in the
vicinity. Leave a free space of at least 100 mm from the
part towards which the door swings.
A free space should also be left in front of the boiler. This
space should equal the length of the boiler itself and allow
the cylinder to be removed from the combustion chamber.
Burner
Electrical connection
Only qualified Personnel should complete the electrical
connections of the boiler and control panel or the burner
and plant connections.
Always connect the boiler to a good grounding system.
FERROLI S.p.A. declines all responsibility for damages
to persons and/or property caused by failure to connect
the appliance to a good grounding system.
Hydraulic connection
The hydraulic connections of the boiler should be accomplished in compliance with the indications given near
each union and those included in the Technical Brief.
Connection must be carried out so that the pipes are free
from tensions. It is obligatory to mount the safety valve on
the heating circuit, as near as possible to the boiler but
without any obstruction or on-off device between the
boiler itself and the valve. Valve setting should be 3 bar.
The appliance is not supplied with expansion tank.
Connection of this latter shall therefore be at the Installer’s charge. Remember that pressure in the system when
cold, must be between 0.5 and 1 bar.

Heating plant installation (fig. 11).
If there is a boiler recirculating pump, it is obligatory to
mount non-return valves upstream of the return union to
prevent parasitic circulations in the generators.
The recirculation flow rate must be between:
P P
and
5 45
P = Capacity of each boiler expressed in kcal/h
Burner operation must be linked to that of the recirculation pump. It must only operate if the pump operates. As
an accessory, a flow rate monitoring device in series with
thermostat TH can be mounted on the return pipe leading
to the boiler, downstream of the recirculating pump.
Flue connection
Always connect the boiler to a good flue, built in compliance with the current provisions in force. The duct between
the boiler and flue must be made of suitable material, i.e.
able to withstand the temperature and corrosion. Always
check the seal in the jointing points and thermally insulate
the entire pipeline between the boiler and stack, to
prevent the formation of condensation.

INSPECTIONS ADJUSTEMENTS
Before initial ignition
Before initial ignition, it is advisable to check that:
a) the system has been filled at the correct pressure and
is well vented;
b) there are no water or fuel leaks;
c) the electrical power supply is correct;
d) the entire fumes duct has been correctly built, that it is
not too near and does not pass through inflammable
parts;
e) that there are no inflammable substances near the
appliance;
f) that the burner is proportional to boiler capacity;
g) the water on-off valves are open.
Burner
Burners fuelled with heating oil or gas, with blown air for
pressurized furnaces, can all be used so long as their
operative characteristics are suitable for the size of the
boiler furnace and its overpressure. The burner must be
chosen according to the Manufacturer’s instructions, in
compliance with fuel consumptions, pressures and the
length of the combustion chamber.
Burners with two flames must have a primary flame
corresponding to at least 50% of the boiler rating.
Boiler efficiency and correct burner operation particularly
depend on accurate adjustments.
NOTE:
Before starting the boiler, always check that the burner
door and smokebox are tight.
Thermostat positioning (fig. 51)
The thermostats are preset in the factory to a minimum
value of 30°C and a maximum value of 90°C. Proceed in
the following way to vary the regulating range of these
limit values:
a) Remove the thermostat knob.
b) Demount locking circlip 3 and stops 1 and 2.
c) Re-position stops 1 and 2 in their relative housings
marked “X”, corresponding to the required temperature
range (see table).
d) Remount the knob on the thermostat, checking that
prong 4 is between the two knob stops.

SERVICING
Boiler maintenance must only be carried out by Qualified
Personnel.
It is advisable to check the equipment at least once a
year, before the winter season. Besides the state of boiler
cleanliness, this inspection should also include checks
on the correct operation of all monitoring and safety
devices, plus the burner. Also check the state of the entire
vent flue duct.
Cleaning the boiler
1. Switch off the boiler power supply.
2. (Fig. 52) Remove upper front panel 1.
3. (Fig. 53) Demount upper front door 3 by slackening the
four nuts 4.
4. (Fig. 54) Open door 2 by loosening the relative knobs.
5. (Fig. 55) Remove cylinder 5 from the combustion
chamber.
6. Clean the inside of the boiler and the entire vent flue
using flue brush 6 or compressed air.
7. Remount the combustion chamber cylinder and lock it
in place between the second and third element using plug
6, see fig. 8 and fig. 26. Remount the upper front door,
fixing it with the relative nuts. Lastly, close the lower door
and fix it with its knob.
8. Consult the Manufacturer’s instructions when cleaning
the burner.
