FOR YOUR SAFETY: Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids or other combustible materials in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. To
do so may result in an explosion or fire.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
•Do not try to light any appliance.
•Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas
supplier's instructions.
•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

TO USE THE REMOTE CONTROL PANEL CORRECTLY, CAREFULLY READ
THE CONTENTS OF THIS DOCUMENT.
WARNINGS:
1) The remote control must be installed where it can
be easily accessed for ambient temperature control
(generally in the living room).
2) To optimize legibility of the display, the control
panel must be positioned 5 feet from the floor, as
required by regulations.
3) The control panel is powered by low voltage
directly from the boiler.
4) The control panel must be kept away from heat
sources or drafts, as these can compromise the
accuracy of the ambient probe incorporated in the
panel.
5) Never open the panel, as it is maintenance-free.
6) Never press on the glass of the liquid crystal
display, as this may damage the glass and impair
viewing.
7) Only use a dry cloth to clean the display, as any
infiltration of liquids may damage the liquid crystals.
GLOSSARY OF TECHNICAL TERMS
• Heating water: This is the water which flows in the
comfort heat radiators after having been heated by
the boiler.
• Domestic hot water: This is the potable water
which flows to the fixtures in the home.
• Fault code: This is a code which appears on the
display to report any boiler or control panel operational problems.
• Initial configuration: This is the configuration of
the control panel after initial start-up or resetting.
• Display: This is the liquid crystal screen showing
all the symbols corresponding to the various functions.
• Freeze protection function: This function prevents low temperatures from freezing the water
flowing inside the pipes and damaging the heating
system. This function activates when the ambient
temperature falls below 40°F (5°C).
GENERAL INFORMATION
WHAT DOES THE REMOTE CONTROL
PANEL DO?
The remote control panel allows you to control the
temperature in your home and the operation of your
boiler without having to access the boiler directly. For
reasons of space, in fact, your boiler may be installed
outside the living space (e.g.: basements, garages,
external areas, etc.). The control panel, on the other
hand, is generally installed in the largest room of the
home, where control and adjustment operations can
be performed with ease.
OPERATING METHOD
The control panel allows more refined home heating
management, as you can decide how and when to
start the boiler. It also allows you to set the domestic
hot water temperature without having to access the
boiler panel. This manual sets out to explain each of
these operating methods and their connected functions.
• Control panel reset: This operation is performed
to reset the initial configuration of the control panel
by deleting any user program apart from the system clock.
• Summer mode: Set the control panel to this mode
when the heating system is not required (e.g.:
spring, summer). The boiler only delivers domestic
hot water (when piped to domestic hot water).
• Automatic heating and continuous heatingmode: Set the control panel to this mode when
heating is required (e.g.: autumn, winter). The boiler delivers both domestic hot water and heating
water.
• Comfort temperature: This temperature optimizes
heating in the home.
• Setback temperature: This temperature is used
when the home is uninhabited, or during the night.
• Ambient temperature: This is the temperature
measured in the room in which the remote control
panel is installed.
3
• Outdoor temperature: This is the temperature
easured outside the house by the external sensor
m
(if installed) connected to the boiler.
• Outdoor reset curve: This is the relationship
between the external temperature and the temperature of the heating water. If the outdoor probe is
installed with the boiler, the temperature of the
heating water is automatically adjusted according
to the changes in outdoor temperature in order to
maintain a constant temperature in the home. The
outdoor reset curve is chosen by the installer
according to the geographical location and system
NOTE:
• The ambient temperature display ranges from
32°F to 210°F (0°C to 99°C).
• The outdoor temperature display ranges from
-38°F to 102°F (-39°C to 39°C).
• Temperatures outside these ranges are displayed
with three dashes “---”.
• Temperatures below 100° (°F or °C) will be displayed in tenths of a degree (XX.X).
• Temperatures of 100° or higher (°F) will be displayed in whole degrees (XXX°F)

Fault display
Reset blocks in case of boiler error
Faults are displayed with EXXX, where XXX is the
efault code generated by either the remote control
d
unit or the boiler. The code is displayed instead of the
time on the information line. The signal is fixed if the
alarm does not require a RESET while it flashes if it
requires the RESET procedure. Table A shows the
fault codes generated by the thermostat timer.
Fig. 6: Fault display
Some boiler alarms can be directly reset from the
emote control unit. In these cases, in addition to the
r
code flashing on the display, a triangle lights up next to
the RESET message on the right-hand side of the display (see Fig. 6). At this point, the RESET function can
be activated.Turn the EDIT knob clockwise.A
RESET command equivalent to pressing the button on
the boiler is generated and the release command is
sent to the boiler. The arrow disappears after the
RESET command has been given.
