1001 General Description The Ferroli 1001 is a wall mounted, room sealed, fan assisted, combination boiler for Central Heating (C.H.) and domestic Hot Water (D.H.W.). The boiler is of light weight construction and the heat exchanger provides Central Heating and Domestic Hot Water from an integrally designed unit.

1001 Flue system The boiler allows the flue outlet to be taken from the rear of the boiler or from either side. A standard flue length of 0.75 metres is provided. Alternative lengths of two or three metres can be supplied (equivalent to wall thicknesses of up to 565, 1815 and 2815 mm for rear flues and deduct 91 mm plus distance from side wall for side outlet flues).

1001 Built-in Central Heating Water Circulating Pump The pump head available for circulating the water is given in fig. 8. N.B. - The pump is factory set at position 3. The pump is a Grundfos type 15-50 UPS series. Grunfos Pump performance graph Note - Minimum flow through boiler heat exchanger at any time should not fall below 6 litres per minute.

1001 Installation Note - To mount the boiler on the wall, a two person lift will be needed. UNPACKING The appliance is delivered in 2 cartons. The large carton contains the boiler, and the Installation/Servicing and Users Instructions. The second carton contains the mounting jig assembly, complete with isolating valves, the assembly fixing screws and wall plugs (x4), the boiler mounting nuts and washers (x2), drilling template, flue assembly and flue bend.
1001 Important Note - Always use two spanners to prevent twisting of soft copper pipework on the boiler. Flush out the water system. Note - The maximum inlet cold water pressure must not exceed 10 bar (145 P.S.I.) and a water governor or a pressure reducing valve will be required if the pressure is in excess of 5 bar (72 P.S.I.).
1001 PREPARING THE FLUE ASSEMBLY Rear Flue Outlet (fig. 12) Important - The aluminium flue pipe must protrude into the outside grill by 60 mm, never cut it to the same length as the plastic air pipe (aluminium flue pipe = plastic air inlet pipe + 70 mm !). Aluminium flue pipe length = Plastic air inlet pipe length plus 70 mm longer.
1001 CONNECTING THE BOILER Place the boiler on its back. Remove the boiler base plate, four screws (fig. 16). Remove the plugs fitted to the boiler water connections. Remove the bag of sealing washers from the boiler pipework. Remove the front panel by gripping on both sides, sliding up and pulling away from the main boiler.
1001 FITTING THE FLUE ASSEMBLY With Sufficient Clearance To Insert Assembly From Inside 6.1.1 Insert the flue assembly into the wall. 6.1.2 Insert the flue bend in the top plate of the boiler 6.1.3 Secure the flue bend. 6.1.4 Fully insert the flue assembly into the boiler flue bend. Insert the self tapping screw supplied. Fully tighten. 6.1.5 Check the terminal relationship with the wall as shown in fig.

1001 D.H.W. Burner Pressure The domestic hot water burner pressure is not range rateable and not adjustable but the maximum and minimum burner pressure should be checked as follows: a. Check electricity supply is still off. b. Open a D.H.W. tap at high flow until the water runs cool and leave running. c.
1001 Time Clock A 24 hour time clock is fitted to the boiler to control the central heating, this will come into operation when the selector switch is turned to the position marked “heating timed and hot water”. A Slide switch: set clock - auto - set programme AUTO AUTO B Display.
