- Remove the PVC protection from the panels.
- Dispose of packaging according to regulations. Generally material is divided according to composition and should be delivered to the waste disposal service.
- Maintain a distance of 5 cm between the back (chimney) of the appliance and the wall. There are no particular prescriptions regarding side distances from other appliances or walls, however it is advisable to leave enough space in case of maintenance and/or repairs. It is advisable to fit a suitable heat insulation if the appliance is in direct contact with inflammable walls.
- The appliance must stand level. Small differences in level can be eliminated by screwing or unscrewing the adjustable feet: A significantly uneven or sloping stance can affect the operation of the appliance adversely.
INSTALLATION
Warning!: Only qualified technicians must perform the installation, maintenance and test of the appliance. Warning!: Before connecting any parts of the appliance to supplies, make sure that the latter is equivalent the requirements stated in the technical data plate, if the appliance has been designed for these supplies.
CONNECTION TO WATERWORKS
- Water inlet pressure must be between 50 and 300 kPa, otherwise install a pressure regulator on the line before the appliance.
- Install a cut-off valve for each supply on the line before the appliance.
- Water connections to 10 mm are fitted in the lower part on the left-hand side of the appliance.
- Make connections according to regulations currently in force.
POSITIONING, INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
GAS CONNECTION PROCEDURES
- The choice of the gas piping depends on the diameter required for the type of gas, appliance and installation and should be performed in conformity with current regulations.
- The gas feed plant can either be fixed or be disconnected; if flexible pipes are employed they must be made from stainless material and not be affected by corrosion.
- If sealing materials are used for connections, they must be certified and approved for the purpose.
- The gas fitting is located on the lower right side of the appliance
- Once the appliance has been connected, carry out a leakage test on all the fittings connecting the appliance to the plant. It is advisable to use a leakage spray, otherwise treat the parts with a foam that does not produce corrosion; no bubbles should develop. Carry out the leakage test also on the rapid cut-off valve.
Warning!: Flames are strictly prohibited for leakage tests!
CHECKING THE OPERATION OF THE GAS SYSTEM
- Check that the appliance has been prepared (category and type of gas) equivalent to the family of gas available on site. If not, it is necessary to convert the appliance to whatever is available. See the paragraph “Conversion to other types of gas”.
- The appliance must be used with the correct injectors for its thermal power rating (See page 8 in the “Technical data”).
- The operation of the appliance with its heating capacity depends on the inlet pressure and the calorific power of the gas.
- The pressure range (inlet pressure) within which the appliance is allowed to operated is stated in table page 8 “Inlet pressure” of the paragraph “Technical Data”. The appliance shall not be operated out of the given pressure range. If pressure should differ from the figures stated in table page 8, advise the gas board or the company which has installed the system.
- The lower calorific value of the gas can be checked with the supply company or agency, and should comply with the information given in table page 9 “Gas data” in the “Technical data” heading.
032-03 - Gas kettles
12
CONTROL OF THE GAS INLET PRESSURE
- The feed pressure is measured using a liquid pressure gauge ( e.g. a U-shaped pressure gauge, minimum definition 0.1 mbar). The supply pressure can be measured directly at the inlet pressure intake on the gas feed pipe. The inlet pressure intake can be reached by opening the lower front panel once the two side screws have been removed. (See figure “Measuring the inlet pressure ”).
- Before connecting the manometer, the screw of the pressure port must be loosened.
- Connect the U-shaped pressure gauge while the appliance is operating to measure pressure.
- The pressure reading on the gauge should be in the admitted pressure range stated in table page 8 “Inlet pressures” of paragraph “Technical data”.
- If pressure figures should not be correct, apply to the gas board or the company which has installed the system.
- Having read the pressure, re-tighten the screw carefully.
Warning!: The sealed adjuster screws on the gas solenoid valve must not be tampered with, otherwise any guarantee rights shall be forfeited immediately.
CONTROL OF PRIMARY AIR FLOW
- Primary air can be considered correctly adjusted if no flame lift is ensured when the burner is cold and the injector lights when the burner is hot.
- The distance “H” (see figure “Primary air regulation”) recommended for primary air adjustment is stated in table page 9 in the “Technical data”.
COMMISSIONING AND TESTING
