Carbon monoxide
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission strongly recommends the
installation of carbon monoxide detectors in buildings in which gas-burning
equipment is installed. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas,
which may be produced during incomplete combustion of fuel and/or when the
flame does not receive an adequate supply of combustion air. Carbon monoxide
can cause severe personal injury or loss of life. Therefore, carbon monoxide
detectors that are in compliance with a nationally recognized standard (e.g.
ANSI/UL 2034, CSA 6.19 latest edition) should be installed and maintained in
buildings that contain gas-burning equipment.
Note: Viessmann does not test any detectors and makes no representation
regarding any brand or type of detector.
For safe operation
We recommend that you frequently:
-
Check for debris which could obstruct the flow of flue gases. The vent or chimney must not be blocked. A blocked or partially blocked vent or chimney can cause flue gases to leak into the structure.
Flue gases leaking into the house can cause injury or loss of life. Blocked or partially blocked chimneys must have the blockage removed by a qualified heating contractor. -
Check pressure gage for correct system (water) pressure. Check for water on the floor from the discharge pipe of the pressure relief valve or any other pipe, pipe joint, valve or air vent.
-
Check for moisture, water, or appearance of rust on the flue gas pipes, their joints as well as vent dampers, or side wall vent terminals (if so equipped).
-
Ensure that nothing is obstructing the flow of combustion and ventilation air and no chemicals, garbage, gasoline, combustible materials, flammable vapors and liquids are stored (not even temporarily) in the vicinity of the boiler.
-
Do not allow unsupervised children near the boiler.
-
Service/inspection of the boiler and the system is recommended once a year. Maintenance, service and cleaning are specified in the Installation Instructions.
Before the heating season begins, it is recommended that the boiler and burner be serviced by a qualified heating contractor. Service contracts may be established through gas suppliers or other licensed contractors in your area.
WARNING
- As there are no user-serviceable parts on the boiler, burner or control, the end-user must not perform service activities or adjustments of any kind on system components. Failure to heed this warning can cause property damage, severe personal injury, or loss of life.
- Improper installation, adjustment, service, or maintenance can cause flue products to flow into living space. Flue products contain poisonous carbon monoxide gas which can cause nausea or asphyxiation resulting in severe personal injury or loss of life.
CAUTION
- Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, do not disconnect the electrical supply to the pump. Instead, shut off the gas supply at a location external to the appliance.
WARNING
- The operator/ultimate owner is required to have the heating boiler, burners, and controls checked, as a minimum once per year, by the original installer or by a competent heating contractor familiar with the equipment. Defects must be corrected immediately.
CAUTION
-
Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified heating contractor to inspect the boiler and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

Frozen water pipe hazard
Your heating boiler is designed to provide a warm and comfortable living environment. It is not designed to ensure against freezing of water pipes.
The boiler is equipped with several safety devices that are designed to shut down the boiler and to prevent it from restarting in the event of various unsafe conditions.
If your boiler remains off for an extended period of time during cold weather, water pipes may freeze and burst, resulting in extensive water damage and conditions in which mold could grow. Certain molds are known to cause respiratory problems, as well as to pose other serious health risks. In case of water damage, immediate measures should be taken to dry out affected areas as quickly as possible to prevent mold from developing. -
If your home will be unattended for an extended period of time during cold weather, you should.
-
Shut off the water supply to the building, drain the water pipes and add an antifreeze for potable water to drain traps and toilet tanks. Open faucets where appropriate.
Or..
Have someone check the building frequently during cold weather and call a
qualified service agency if required.
Or...
Install a reliable remote temperature sensor that will notify somebody of freezing conditions within the home.

Initial Start-up and Re-starting of the Heating System
Initial start-up and adjustment of the control unit to local conditions and
the structural characteristics of your building must be performed by your
heating contractor. We recommend that you contact your heating contractor
before re-starting the heating system if it has been shut down for a long
period of time.
To start up the system
- Check the heating system pressure on the pressure gauge 1. Minimum system pressure 12 psi. If the needle of the pressure gauge is below 12 psi, the system pressure is too low, in which case you must contact your heating contractor.
- Open flue operation only: Check that the ventilation facilities in the boiler room are open and are not obstructed.
- Open the gas shutoff valve 2 (field supplied).
- Switch on line voltage (e.g. at separate fuse/circuit breaker).
- Switch on the heating system on/off switch 3. Your heating system is now ready for operation.
Shutting Down the Heating System
In case you are not intending to use your heating system for a period of time,
e.g. during your summer holidays, switch your heating system to standby
operation (see the section entitled ”Selecting a heating program”, page 10).
If you do not want to use your heating system for a longer period of time
(several months), you should shut it down. We advise you to contact your
heating contractor before shutting down the heating system for longer periods
of time. Your heating contractor will then take any required
action/precautions, e.g. providing freeze-up protection of the system or
safeguarding the heat exchanger surfaces.
To shut down the heating system
- Switch off the heating system on/off switch.
- Close the gas shutoff valve and secure it against unintentional opening.
- Switch off-line voltage (e.g. at separate fuse/circuit breaker). The power supply to the system is now switched off. There is no freeze-up protection. All settings of the control unit still remain intact.
Switching Times
By setting the corresponding activation periods, the central heating can be switched up to 4 times per day to and fro between the “normal room temperature” and the “reduced room temperature”. The factory setting gives you the “normal room temperature” in the activation period from 6:00 to 22:00 hrs every day of the week. The activation periods are called up and set on the appropriate timer channel. Each timer channel is effective for a particular part of your heating system as defined in the factory: The time between switching on the“normal room temperature” and changing over to “reduced room temperature” is called an activation period. When setting the activation periods, please take into account the reaction time of your heating system. Therefore choose correspondingly earlier switch-on and switch-off times. Timer channel Central heating (for the heating circuit without mixing valve) Timer channel “M” – Central heating (for a heating circuit with mixing valve) The domestic hot water supply can be switched on and off up to 4 times per day by setting the corresponding activation periods. The timer channel is effective for the domestic hot water supply (only if a domestic hot water cylinder is installed). The factory setting gives you domestic hot water in the activation period from 6:00 to 22:00 hrs every day of the week. The activation periods for the DHW circulation pump should be selected for those periods when you are at home and require hot water. The domestic hot water circulation pump can be switched on and off up to 4 times per day by setting the corresponding activation periods.

period of time:
- Open the hinged cover on the enclosure panel.
- Turn the emission test switch ”S” from ”a” to ”h”.
- Activate heat emitters (e.g. by opening the thermostatic valves).
- After completing the measurement, turn the emissions test switch ”S” back to ”a”.
- Close cover.
The following functions are triggered when using the emission test switch (manual operation):
- The boiler water temperature is limited by a limit aquastat.
- The circulation pumps are activated.
- The mixing valve (if installed) remains in its control mode.
- The burner is switched on (at max. input).

WARNING
Visually inspect the vent termination for any signs of blockage. Under cold climate conditions (sustained temperatures below 0°F / -18°C) the vent termination may be severely blocked by icicle and frost build-up. The boiler control will automatically shut down the boiler should air or vent be blocked. Remove blockage if possible. Acknowledge the fault and the boiler should attempt to restart. If blockage is not obvious and cannot be removed, contact a qualified service technician.
Service Instructions for Your Heating System
Viessmann strongly recommends inspection/service of the boiler and the system by a licensed professional heating contractor once a year. Before the heating season begins, the boiler with its burner(s) and direct vent system should be serviced by a qualified heating contractor. Service contracts may be established through gas suppliers or other licensed contractors in your area. Regular inspection/service ensures troublefree, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly heating activity of your heating system.
IMPORTANT
If the domestic cold water supply to the hot water storage tank has a water treatment device (water softener) installed, ensure its proper working condition is checked regularly by your heating contractor. The same applies if a dirt trap or a water filter is installed in the domestic cold water supply. Any of these devices installed in the domestic cold water supply must be flushed out and serviced on a regular basis.
Boiler
All boilers must be cleaned on a regular basis as debris build-up will result
in increased flue gas temperature, and thus in increased energy consumption.
Notes on operation:
- Ensure the boiler room and boiler are clean.
- Regularly check the heating system pressure on the pressure gauge:
- If the needle pressure gauge is below 12 psi, the system pressure is too low; in this case, please contact your heating contractor.
- Domestic hot water storage tank
- Inspection and (if necessary) cleaning of the tank must take place within 2 years of initial start-up and as required thereafter.
- Cleaning of the inside surfaces of the domestic hot water storage tank, including domestic hot water connections, may only be performed by a licensed professional heating contractor.
Vitocell 100:
- Viessmann recommends an annual inspection, and replacement if required, of the consumable anode by a licensed professional heating contractor.
- The inspection can be carried out during the regular operation of the heating system; shutdown is not required.
- The heating contractor measures the protective current with an anode testing instrument.
- Drinking water filter (if installed)
- For hygienic reasons
- replace the filter element every 6 months on filters which cannot be flushed back, and perform a visual inspection every 2 months,
- flush back reversible flow filters every 2 months.
- Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
How to Save Energy
by heating correctly
Apart from taking advantage of the benefits of a modern heating system, there
is a lot you can do yourself to achieve additional fuel savings.
For instance:
Don’t overheat:
- Aim at a room temperature of 68ºF/20ºC. Every degree less in room temperature will reduce your heating bills by up to 6%.
- Close window shutters 1 (if installed) at dusk.
- Operate thermostatic valve 2 correctly.
- Don’t obstruct radiator 3 and thermostatic valves 2.
- Make use of individual adjustment options of the control unit 4; e.g. ”normal room temperature” alternating with ”reduced room temperature”.
- Set the domestic hot water temperature of the DHW tank 5 on the control unit 4.
- Control your consumption of hot water:
- A shower generally consumes less energy than a bath.
with regular maintenance
- Regular maintenance check-ups of your heating system 6 by a licensed professional heating contractor will ensure energy savings and environmentally friendly operation.
with effective insulation
- If you wish to make use of additional energy-saving measures, check the thermal insulation:
- of heating and domestic hot water pipes. of external walls and the roof.
- between heated and unheated rooms. of the windows.
