contained in this manual. Furthermore, the
installation must be in accordance with current standards and r egulations.
2.1 INSTALLATION
-
In the rooms where “type B” boiler s are
i n s t a l l e d , t h e a i r r e q u i r e d f o r c o r r e c t
c o m b u stion of the gas consumed by th e
appliance must be able to flow in. It is there f o re necessary to make openings t h a t
c a n n o t b e b l o c k e d i n t h e o u t e r w a l l s ,
w h i ch mus t be at least 6 cm
2
for eve ry
kW of thermal capacity inst alled and with,
in any case, a minimum of 100 cm

.
- “Type C” a pp l i a n c e s , w i t h c o m b u s t i o n
chamber and air supply sealed of f fr o m
the environment, can be inst alled in any
room in the house.
- “Type B and C” b oilers ar e suitabl e fo r
functioning in a partially prot ected place,
as according to EN 297, with maximum
environmental temperature of 60°C and
minimum of -5°C. We recommend installation of these boilers under the protruding slope of a roof, on a balcony, or in a
p r o t e c t e d n i c h e , a l w a y s p r o v i d i n g t h e y
a r e n o t d i r e c t l y e x p o s e d t o a d v e r s e
weather (rain, hail, snow). The boilers are
provided already equipped with anti-freeze functions.
2.1.1 Anti-freeze function
T h e b o i l e r s a r e e q u i p p e d w i t h a n t i - f r e e z e
function which activates the pumps and the
burner when the temperature of the water
c o n t a i n e d i n s i d e t h e a p p l i a n c e d r o p s t o
below 6°C. The anti-freeze function is ensured, however, only if:
- the boiler is correctly connected to the
gas and electricity supply circuits;
- the boiler is constantly fed;
- the boiler ignition is not blocked;
- the essential components of the
boiler are all in working order
In these condition s the boiler is prot e c te d
a g a i n s t f r o s t d o w n t o a n e n v i r o n m e n t a l
temperature of -5°C.
ATTENTION: In the case of installation in a
place where the temperature drops below
0°C, the connection pipes must be protected.

2.3 CONNECTING UP SYSTEM
To prot ect the heat system from damaging
c o rrosion, incru station or deposits, befo re
i n s t a l l a t i o n i t i s e x t r e m e l y i m p o r t a n t t o
clean t he sys tem using su itable p ro d u c t s
s u c h a s , f o r e x a m p l e , S e n t i n e l X 3 0 0 o r
X400. Comp l ete inst ructions are prov i d e d

For long-te rm p rotection again s corro s i o n
and deposits, the use of inhibitors such as
Sentinel X100 is recommended after cleaning th e syst em. It is i mp o rtant t o ch e ck
the concentration of the inhibitor afte r
each system modification and during maint e n a n c e f o l l o w i n g t h e m a n u f a c t u r e r ’ s
instructions (specific tests are available at
your dealer). The safety valve drain must be
c o n n e c t ed to a collection funnel to collect
any di sch a rge dur ing int e r vention s. If th e
heating system is on a higher floor t han the
boiler, install the on/off taps supplied in kit
o ptional on t he heating syste m
delivery/return pipes.
WA R N I NG: F a i l u re t o c l ea n th e
heat system or add an adequate
inhibitor invalidates the device’s
warranty.
Gas connections must be made in accor-
dance with cur rent sta n d a rds and r e g u l ations. When dimensioni ng gas pipes fr o m
the meter to t he module, both capacity
volume (consu mption) in m
3
/h and ga s
density must be taken into account.
The sections of the piping making up the
system must be such as to guarantee a
supply of gas sufficient to cover the maxim u m d e m a n d , l i m i t i n g p r e s s u r e l o s s
between the gas met er and any apparatus
being used to not greater than:
– 1.0 mbar for family II gases (natural gas);
– 2.0 mbar f or fa m i ly III gases (butane or
propane).
An adhesive data plate is sticked inside the
front panel; it contains all the technical data
identifying the boiler and the type of gas for
which the boiler is arranged.
2.3.1 Filter on the gas pipe
The gas valve is supplied ex factory with an
inlet filter, which, however, is not adequate
to entrap all the impurities in the gas or in
gas main pipes.
To prevent malfunctioning of the valve, or in
certain cases even to cut out the safety
device with which the valve is equipped,
install an adequate filter on the gas pipe.
2.5 SYSTEM FILLING
Filling of the boiler and the system is done
by the charge cock (2 fig. 4). The charge
pressure, with the sys tem cold, must be
between 1 and 1.5 bar. During system filling you are recommended to keep t he main
switch turned OFF. Filling must be done
slowly so as to allow any air bubbles to be
