Safety warnings This instructions manual is an essential and complementary part of the product and it is supplied to- gether with the boiler . Carefully read the manual, achieving all important information for a safe installation, use and servicing . f Carefully keep the manual, together with the documentation of all the accessories of the boiler and of the system, for any further consultation you may need.
Safety warnings symbols legend Generic safety Electrical danger Physical danger warning (fulguration) (personal damage) Thermal danger General warning or advice to avoid material damage (burns) or to achieve improvements References to Laws and Norms All the references to norms and national laws mentioned in this handbook are indicative as laws and norms are subject to issues and integrations by the authorities in charge.
The first starting up and the maintenance of the boiler must be performed by a professionally qualified staff (for example the installer or the Service Centres authorized by ITALTHERM) Gas conversion from a gas of a specific family to a gas of another family (from natural gas to LPG or vice versa) to another gas, can be made also when the gas boiler is already installed, but only by a qualified technician.
f Do not put any object on the gas boiler and don't leave any flammable liquid or solid materials, (e.g. paper, clothes, plastic, polystirene) in its proximity. f This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervi- sion or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

On trade are available programmable room thermostats: most of them allow to make a weekly programming of various temperature levels, besides special programs for various purposes. We suggest to choose original ITALTHERM accessories...
Typical use Preliminary operations f Firstly, the knob 12 should be on the position 8 . f Make sure, by the gauge 17 that the cold-system temperature is al- service ways within 0.5 and 1.5 Bar (opti- mal: 1÷1.5 Bar). When the pressure drops below 0.5 Bar, the boiler stops working.

ITALTHERM Srl is not responsible for damages caused by the incorrect, wrong or unreasonable use of not original materials. The burner doesn’t turn on f if the room thermostat (or programmable room thermostat, or similar) is installed, check that it is really requiring the room heating;...
Boiler inactivity The effects of the periods of inactivity can be relevant in particular situations such as in flats used only for some months per year, most of all in cold places. The user will have to decide to put the boiler in the SAFETY SHUT OFF state disconnecting all the sup- plies, or to leave it in stand-by and use the Anti Frost Function.
ATTENTION: the anti-frost protections cannot intervene in the absence of electricity. If you an- ticipate this possibility, we recommend you add a good brand of anti-freeze to the heating sys- tem, following the producer’s instructions. We recommend to ask directly the installer/technician about the type of antifreeze product put in the heating system during installation.

Adjustment and Maintenance ATTENTION: the operations described below must be carried out only by qualified personnel [authorized by ITALTHERM] . When regulation/measuring is over, remember to tighten pressure tapping point screws and ALWAYS check for gas leaks! Before boiler ignition, verify that pump is not blocked due to its inactivity: unscrew the plug located in the middle of the cap to gain access to the rotor shaft, and turn it manually using a screwdriver or another suitable tool.
Inlet gas check Remark: The pressure should be measured at nomi- nal input, so this test must be performed with the burner ignited. Loosen (2-3 turns) the screw of pressure tapping point for gas inlet 2 of the gas valve and insert the manometer sensor;...

Gas conversion ATTENTION: the operations described below must be carried out only by qualified personnel [authorized by ITALTHERM S.r.l.]. For gas conversion, use the nozzles supplied by boiler manufacturer only. Using LPG, it is absolutely necessary to install a suitable pressure reducer upstream the boiler.
Combustion check The boiler has the “chimney-sweeper” function, forcing burner ignition at the maximum output not modulated. This function allows more reliable measurements of those obtained when the gas boiler is activated through the room thermostat or hot water demands. f Prepare the instruments for combustion checking;...

Remote Control Kit This remote control is more than a simple room thermostat . Thanks to this, it is possible to manage the boiler in all its set- tings like DHW and CH temperature adjustment, boiler reset in case of boiler block, and of course it works as a room thermo- stat both in manual and weekly program mode.
