2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
CAUTION  
In the United Kingdom installation, start-up, adjustments and maintenance must be  
performed by a CORGI Registered Installer in accordance with the installation  
standards currently in effect, as well as with any and all local health and safety  
standards i.e.. CORGI.  
K
In the Republic of Ireland the installation and initial start up of the appliance must  
be carried out by a Competent Person in accordance with the current edition of  
I.S.813 “Domestic Gas Installations”, the current Building Regulations, reference  
should also be made to the current ETCI rules for electrical installation.  
HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS  
To get the most out of your boiler, we have provided you with some useful advice on  
proper use and maintenance:  
- Periodically check the system pressure using the pressure gauge “D”, make sure that  
the pressure is at 1.5 bar when the system is off and cool. If the pressure is below the  
minimum recommended value (1 bar). To refill the system, open the two black handles  
connected to the silver flexible hose, once the pressure gauge “K” reads 1.5 bar close  
the valves again.  
NOTE: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE THE APPLIANCE WITH THE PRESSURE GAUGE  
READING ZERO.  
- The outer panels of the unit's case must only be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use  
abrasive cleaners. The control panel can be wiped with either a damp or dry cloth.  
Spray polishes must not be used on the control panel surface or knobs. Care must be  
taken to prevent any liquid from entering the appliance.  
PRACTICAL TIPS  
- If the water is very hard, it is recommended that a water softener be added to the  
system so as to reduce the formation of limescale in the boiler exchangers. This will  
3
ensure that the efficiency of the unit remains the same over time, reducing gas  
consumption and maintenance costs.  
M
N
- If the boiler should be out of use for a prolonged period, it is recommended that the  
electrical power supply be disconnected and that the external gas cock “M” and “N”  
be closed. If low temperatures are expected, the boiler and system pipe work should be  
drained in order to prevent frost damage.  
- To improve comfort and take full advantage of the heat produced by the boiler, it is  
recommended that an external (room) thermostat be installed.  
- It is good practice to clean and service the appliance and central heating system every  
year. Call an Authorised Service Centre.  
IGNITION PROCEDURE  
Turn the selector knob “A” to the “I” position. After a short delay the display will indicate  
onindicating that the boiler is ready to operate. The electronic control unit will ignite the  
burner, without any manual intervention but in response to the request for Domestic Hot  
Water or Central heating. If, after approximately 10 seconds, the burner has not ignited,  
the boiler safety devices will shut off the gas and the display will  
A0 1  
indicate the fault code A . To reset the ignition system, the reset  
A
I
button “D” must be pressed and released. Should the boiler fail to  
ignite a second time, check that the external gas cock is open “N”.  
If the problem persists, contact an Authorised Service Centre.

The water temperature in the Central Heating circuit may be  
checked on the display.  
PL009D  
EXTERNAL (ROOM) THERMOSTAT CONTROL  
C
If an external (room) thermostat is installed, it is recommended that the temperature of  
the Central Heating system be set by means of the “C” knob, leaving it at max in order  
to obtain the best performance from the boiler and to allow the regulation of the external  
temperature to function efficiently.  
PL008D  
SETTING THE HOT WATER FOR DOMESTIC USE  
C
Both in the winter and summer mode, the temperature of the Domestic Hot Water may be  
adjusted by using the “B” knob. A delivery temperature for the water may be chosen in a  
range from 36˚C to about 56˚C, depending on the flow rate of the water and the position  
of the knob between the min. and max. settings.  
PL008D  
The water temperature in the primary circuit may be checked on the display.  
NOTE:  
Should the hot water temperature be insufficientm turn the thermostat  
knob to maximum and reduce the flow rate at the tap. ( A high flow rate will  
reduce the temperature.

C
The selector knob “E” allows the user to choose the economy mode (position “E”) or the  
comfort mode (position “C”).  
The economy mode is the normal state for the operation of the boiler, since the domestic  
water is heated up only when a tap is turned on.  
The comfort mode is a special operating state, because the water contained in the  
secondary exchanger and in the primary exchanger is kept in a pre-heated condition,  
thereby allowing a quicker delivery of Domestic Hot Water when required.

3. USEFUL INFORMATION  
AND TROUBLESHOOTING  
BOILER SHUTDOWN SITUATIONS  
The boiler is equipped with safety devices that intervene in certain situations and shut it  
off. Most of these situations are signalled by means of the L.E.D.s and in some  
circumstances the user may be able to remedy them.  
SHUTDOWN DUE TO IGNITION FAILURE  
This anomaly is indicated by A 0 1on the display. To reset the boiler, press and then  
release button “D”.  
At this point, the electronic ignition system will attempt to light the burner again.  
Should the boiler fail to ignite a second time, check that the external gas cock is  
open. If the problem persists, contact an Authorised Service Centre.  
SHUTDOWN DUE TO OVERHEATING  
PL007D  
This anomaly is indicated by A 0 3 on the display. The boiler has shutdown because  
the safety thermostat detected that the boiler temperature has exceeded the maximum  
limit.  
To reset, wait until the boiler has cooled and press button “D”.  
If the safety thermostat operates on a frequent basis, contact one of our Authorised  
Service Centres.  
PL055D  
SHUTDOWN DUE TO INSUFFICIENT WATER CIRCULATION  
This anomaly is indicated by E 0 2 on the display.  
One of the possible causes of this shutdown situation could be the lack of water in the  
boiler or water circulation failure in the primary heating circuit.  
Check the system pressure on the pressure gauge “K” and, if it  
is less than 0.5 bar, try bringing the system pressure up to a  
mean value of 1.0 bar by opening the water inlet valve as  
instructed on page 3. Then reset by pressing button “D”.  
K
OTHER SHUTDOWN SITUATIONS  
PL012D  
Should a shutdown situation indicated on the display by the following letters and figures  
occur, E04, E05, E06, E07, E08, E09, E20, E33, E34 contact one of our Authorised  
Service Centres.

If instead the display shows one of the shutdown situations indicated by the following  
letters and figures, A64, A97, A98, A99, try resetting the boiler by pressing the reset  
button “D”. If the boiler shuts off again, contact one of our Authorised Service Centres.  
ANTI-FROST DEVICE  
The boiler is fitted with a device which, in the event that the water temperature falls below  
8˚C the pump activates and runs until a temperature of 18˚C is attained. In the event that  
the water temperature falls below ˚C, the diverter valve switches to Domestic Hot Water  
3
and the burner fires and runs on minimum power until a temperature of 33˚C is attained.  
This device is only activated when the boiler is operating perfectly and  
- the system pressure is sufficient;  
- the boiler is powered electrically;  
- gas is being distributed.  
Schedule an annual maintenance check-up for the boiler with a CORGI registered  
Service Engineer.  
4. MAINTENANCE  
Correct maintenance always results in savings in the cost of running the system.  
Our boilers are designed to function either with Natural Gas (methane) or L.P.G. gas. If  
you need to changeover from one gas to the other, one of our Authorised Service Centres  
should be contacted.  
5. CHANGE OF GAS TYPE  
NOTE: the time clock is for central heating control only.  
The time clock is provided with 96 switches, called riders, each of which covers a time  
interval of 15 minutes (four per hour).  
6. MECHANICAL TIME CLOCK  
When a rider is switched from the inside (off setting) to the outside of the clock border (on  
setting), the circuit is closed (switch on) for a period of 15 minutes and then the boiler  
starts if the room thermostat (if installed) or the heating thermostat require heat (heating  
function on).  
EXAMPLE  
To set the heating of your home in the time interval from 7.00 am to 9.30 am and from  
7.00 pm to 10.00 pm every day:  
- rotate the outer ring of the clock in a clockwise direction until the correct time of day  
(24h) lines up with the arrow on the clock (at approx. 2 o’clock position);  
- under no circumstances should the minute hand be moved manually;  
- make sure all the switches, i.e. the riders, are placed on the inside of the clock border;  
- pull outward the riders for 7.00 am and 9.30 am, and then all riders between these two;  
- repeat this for 7.00 pm and 10.00 pm.  
UT011Ap  
Other heating intervals may be set in the same way.  
The timer has approximately 150 hours of battery back up for power failure.  
The clock is provided with a selector switch with three positions (see figure):  
1.Position “I” CONSTANT: in this position, the clock circuit is always  
closed (switch on), therefore the boiler will constantly be on and will only  
shut off upon the request of the room thermostat (if installed) or the  
heating thermostat;  
UT014A  
2.Position “O” HEATING OFF: in this position, the clock circuit is always  
open (switch off) and the boiler will therefore never ignite for heating;  
UT014A  
3.“Central” Position PROGRAMMING ACTIVE: in this position, the  
programming set by the user is active.
