CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Installation Warnings and Requirements

3.1.1 Appropriate Use of the Boiler

This boiler

MUST be used in the application for which it has been expressly designed. Any other

use shall be considered improper and therefore dangerous. This boiler is designed to heat water

at a temperature below the boiling point at atmospheric pressure.

3.1.2 Prerequisite System Flushing

Before installing the boiler the following actions

MUST be carried out by a competent engineer or

technician:

a) The whole system should be thoroughly flushed in order to remove any residual dirt or

grime which could compromise correct boiler operation.

b) Check that the boiler has been preset for operating with the gas type available. This is

verifiable via the data badge.

c) Check that the flue pipe has an adequate draft, does not have any constrictions or

obstructions, and that no other appliance’s flue outlets have been fitted, unless the flue

pipe is serving more than one heating appliance, according to the specific standards and

regulations in force. The connection between the boiler and flue outlet can be made only

after this verification has been carried out.

3.1.3 Installation Personnel Qualifications

The appliance

MUST be installed by a qualified engineer or technician, who complies with the

technical requirements, who, under his own responsibility, guarantees the compliance of the

standards according to the latest regulations.
The appliance must be positioned so that at least the minimum operational and servicing

clearances are provided.
The boiler must be connected to a heating system which is compatible to its performance and

output.
FOR MASSACHUSETTS INSTALLATIONS: The boiler MUST be installed by a plumber or gas

fitter licensed within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
