1. DESCRIPTION
1.01 Introduction
RENDIMAX CE boilers are heat generators for central heating and domestic hot water production.
The standard version is designed to work with natural gas.
To use the boiler with L.P.G., on-site conversion must be carried out following the instructions given
below. This conversion must be done by our local Customer Technical Service Center.

3. INSTALLATION
Installation must be carried out by specialist companies only in accordance with all instructions and
current regulations.
You are advised to include gate valves between the boiler and the C.H. system so that the boiler can
be isolated from the system if necessary.
Notes: If the path followed by the C.H. flow outlet and return inlet pipes is such as to allow for the
formation of air pockets at certain points, you are recommended to fit an air valve at these points.
The diameter of the flue connection pipe must not be less than that of the coupling on the draft
diverter. From the draft diverter, it must have a vertical section of not less than one and a half meters.
When sizing and installing flues and the flue connecting pipe, current regulations must be respected.
If the fuel duct pass through flammable wall it has been well insulated.

Connection between boiler and chimney has to be sealed.
The rated flow rate of gas counter has to be sufficient for the whole connected appliance.
Be careful that the boilers connections are free of mechanical tensions.
Connect the gas using a rigid pipe and including a gas cock.
The boiler must be connected to a 230 Volt - 50 Hz single phase line (phase/neutral) by means of
terminal board of approved socket. A 5 A max. fuse should be included between the boiler and line.
It is important to ensure that the boiler is connected to an efficient earth system. The terminal board
for connecting the boiler to the room thermostat (if used) is inside the control panel (follow the
electrical wiring diagram fig. 3).
3.01 Electrical connection
The electrical connections has be carried out according the following electrical schema. If the boiler
is installed below the level of the C.H. system, you are recommended to install a sensor against the
water absence.
NB: The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to persons or things deriving from
poor earthling of the appliance.
