FUNCTIONAL AND CONSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this appliance is to produce domestic hot water, thanks to the heat exchange between the flue gas and the water stored in the tank, through a heat exchanger which is in contact with the burner and the tank. Combustion occurs in a completely sealed manner with respect to the room where the appliance is installed, taking the air necessary for combustion and discharging the combustion products outside the room where the unit is installed. The condensate is discharged in the lower part, by means of a siphon, while the flue gases are conveyed upwards through the Ø100/150 mm concentric duct.

- Upstream of the unit, provide a single-pole switch with a minimum contact distance of 3.5 mm.
The installation of the appliance is divided into 5 different phases that are listed below. Followed them carefully, respecting the order.
- POSITIONING OF THE APPLIANCE
- FLUE GAS EXHAUST
- WATER CONNECTIONS
- GAS CONNECTION
- ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The unit must always be earthed. Check that the power cable is in perfect condition. Under no circumstances should the damaged cable be repaired with insulating tape or clamps. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the technical assistance service or, in any case, by a person with similar qualifications, in order to prevent any risk. Incorrect installation can cause damage to people and things, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
POSITIONING OF THE APPLIANCE
The location of the appliance must be chosen taking into account the maximum length allowed for each type of drain, gas and electrical connection. The appliance has been designed to have the water, electrical and gas connections on the right side of the appliance. The flue outlet is placed in the upper part of the appliance. It is recommended to position the water heater in such a way as to facilitate installation and maintenance operations. Being a type C appliance, it can be installed in any type of room, without any limitation on its ventilation conditions and volume. Refer to the necessary minimum clearance as shown in the picture below.
The front and right side of the appliance must be easily accessible, in order to facilitate correct installation and periodic maintenance. To avoid possible water infiltration during storms, we recommend a slight downward slope of the flue exhaust and air intake pipe.
WARNING: FOLLOW THE PROVISIONS PROVIDED BY THE NATIONAL INSTALLATION REGULATIONS.
FLUE GAS EXHAUST
Respect the provisions established by municipal, provincial, or sectoral regulations. The flue gases of more than one appliance must not be conveyed into the same flue gas duct. The appliance is supplied as standard without flue system. Purchase the flue kit depending on the type of exhaust you want to carry out. The following chart shows the kits available for this appliance. Use only the original kits supplied by the manufacturer
To increase the duct length, it is necessary to purchase the appropriate extension pipes listed here below. The maximum allowed length is shown in the previous table. Each bend used in the flue system equates to a 1 meter in reduction of overall length. The possibility of choosing one solution rather than another, must obviously take into account the regulations in force, as well as specific technical reasons.

For C5 applications: terminals for the supply of oxidizing air and for the evacuation of combustion products must not be installed on opposite walls of the building Collective flue system: use a C43 air supply and exhaust system only when the collective duct is a natural flue draft chimney. The collective duct must be part of the building; it is not a part of the system. The only configurations allowed for flue systems in category C63 are: C13 and C33. Contact the assistance service for more information regarding C43 and C63 systems. Make sure that the mechanical stability of the air/fume duct is always granted. The hole, for the passage through the wall of the exhaust and air intake pipe, must not be cemented: the fume exhaust pipe must be free to move through the hole, so that it can be removed later. To that end, the wall covering rosettes supplied with the flue exhaust kit can be used to cover the empty space of the hole.
ATTENTION: compulsorily respect the maximum prescribed lengths of the flue kits stated above. Furthermore, make sure to install the horizontal exhaust duct section with a minimum slope of 5%, to ensure the flow of condensate towards the appliance, which is equipped with a siphon/condensate drain.

THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT
START
When you turn the display on for the first time, you will be asked to set the language, in which the device is used, the day and time:
OFF
Once the boiler is powered and the language has been set, it is in the OFF state:
- The MENU key is at the bottom. It can be accessed using the ● key.
- The OFF icon appears on the right.
ON
By pressing the ▆ button for 3 seconds, the system enters ON mode, the display is illuminated and the following information is displayed:
- The current status (Standby or Heating) is displayed at the top left, depending on the water temperature.
- the day of the week and the time are displayed at the top right.
If the water temperature is lower than the one set on the display, the burner ignition sequence will start:
- The icon appears in the center of the display. It states that the burner is turned on.
- It is possible to adjust the boiler water thermostat by using the ▲ and ▼ keys on the left. The setpoint temperature to be set will flash instead of the current temperature.
- The modulation bar* is at the center of the display and it shows the current burner power percentage.
*Since the unit is a storage water heater, the burner, when switched on, is always kept at maximum power until the set point temperature is reached. The hysteresis phase will follow at minimum power.
INTERNAL POWER RESERVE
The display is equipped with an internal power reserve capable of buffering the absence of power for a few hours, so that the user can avoid resetting the current time.
STORAGE OF DATA IN MEMORY
If the internal energy reserve described in the paragraph above runs out, the display still saves some settings and data in memory; in particular, the display settings, the weekly program and the faults history.
OPERATING CYCLE
During the ignition phase, the system always behaves as described below:
- The fan is activated and reaches the on speed. The system starts counting the pre-ventilation time. During this time the fan speed remains constant at the switch-on value.
- At the end of the pre-ventilation time (inter-ventilation, if it is not the first ignition attempt) the igniter and the gas valve are activated. During this time, the fan speed remains constant at the switch-on value.
- If the flame is not detected, the igniter and the gas valve are deactivated at the end of the safety time; if the maximum number of ignition attempts foreseen has not yet been reached, the fan goes to inter-ventilation speed for the inter-ventilation time, after which we return to point 2.
- On the contrary, if the number of attempts has been reached, the system goes into the locked state, due to failure to turn on. It is necessary to unlock the system manually, by pressing and releasing the ◄ button to restore the normal operation.
- If the flame is detected during the ignition attempt, at the end of the safety time the system inhibits the igniter and goes into steady state; the number of ignition attempts is reset. From here on the operation varies depending on the current operating state.
- The steady state continues as long as the request to turn the burner on persists, some anomaly occurs, which causes the burner to turn off, or the flame goes out.
- In the event that during the steady state the flame goes out, and the burner ignition request condition persists, the system will repeat the ignition sequence as just described.
CO2 REGULATION
At the end of the installation, it is necessary to check the CO2 values: in the event of a defect, it is necessary to make an adjustment to restore the values as indicated in the table. In the event of a gas change and/or air intake or exhaust duct change, the CO2 values will have to be readjusted according to the new type of flue system.
Type of gas | CO2 values |
---|---|
G20 – 20 mbar | 9.0% max / 8.7% |
G25 –25 mbar | 9.0% max / 8.7% |
G20+hydrogen 20% – 20 mbar | 7.7% max / 7.4% |
To verify the correct combustion, it is necessary to carry out an analysis using an exhaust fume analyzer compliant with CR1404. The CO2 adjustment is done by means of the two maximum and minimum adjustment screws on the gas valve. To access it, remove the side flange which is located on the upper cap. You need to unscrew the 4 nuts on the circumference and remove the plate. When CO2 is correctly adjusted, combustion produces no CO (with 0% O2). Value admitted for CO by law: < 1000 ppm
ATTENTION: MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NO OBSTRUCTIONS IN BOTH THE AIR INTAKE AND THE FLUE EXHAUST DUCT. A REDUCTION IN THE FLOW RATE DUE TO ACCIDENTAL OBSTRUCTION OF THE DUCTS WILL RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN THE GAS FLOW RATE, UNTIL THE BURNER TURNS OFF.
READING AND ADJUSTMENT OF CO2 VALUES AT MAXIMUM POWER
- Enter the SETTING menu > “Setting Boiler”
- Activate the “chimney sweep” function and scroll the [-] and [+] keys to activate the HIGH mode.
- Detect the CO2 value on the analyzer, through the inspection placed on the smoke outlet bend at the bottom of the system.
- If this value does not correspond to the correct one shown in the table, it is necessary to adjust the MAX screw to obtain the indicated value.
- Use a flat-blade screwdriver and turn the MAX screw anticlockwise to increase the CO2 value and clockwise to reduce it.
READING AND ADJUSTMENT OF CO2 VALUES AT MINIMUM POWER
- With the boiler already in “chimney sweep” mode, press the [-] key to activate the LOW chimney sweep.
- Detect the CO2 value on the analyzer, through the same inspection on the bend.
- If this value does not correspond to the correct one shown in the table, it is necessary to adjust the MIN screw to obtain the indicated value. Use a 2mm Allen key.
- Turn the screw clockwise to increase the CO2 value and anticlockwise to reduce it.
- Return to maximum power using the [+] key, to check that the CO2 adjustment at minimum has not influenced the one at maximum.
- To exit the “chimney sweep” mode, press the OK button.
GAS CHANGE
To change the gas, replace the mixer with the specific model for the gas of destination. Proceed by removing the upper cap to access the mixer.
REMOVE THE TOP COVER
- Remove the screws around the shell using a screwdriver (not supplied).
- Remove the screws on the rear flange of the tee fitting with a hex wrench (not supplied).
- Push the cap in the opposite direction to the tee fitting (1-2 cm), removing the pins on the cap.
- Pull the cap upwards and place it on a flat surface. Be careful not to touch the internal components of the boiler.
To reinstall the cover, reinsert it in the same position and tighten the removed screws. Follow the previous steps in reverse order.
METHANE GAS AND HYDROGEN MIXTURE

TIMER PROGRAMMING
The “Programming” menu allows to manage a weekly schedule. By following the set daily program, it is possible to activate the burner. The time resolution is 30 minutes. By selecting the “set program” entry in the “Programming” submenu, the following screen appears, where you can change the weekly program.
The day you want to program is highlighted next to the entry “Day”. By pressing the [+] and [-] keys you can select the various days of the week, whereas below, as a reminder, the corresponding daily program is shown. Supposing you want to program “Monday”, touching “OK” takes you into the time slot programming. The slots are programmed in three steps:1) Start of slot (to select the starting time of the slot) 2) Demand (to set the required presence) 3) End of slot (to set the ending time of the slot)
In the first step, enter the starting time using the [+] and [-] keys, at minimum intervals of 15 minutes, and confirm with [OK]. If, however, you want to abandon the programming of the selected day and change day, simply touch [ESC]
Then you select whether you want to activate the heat demand “ON” or not (“OFF”), by moving on the display with the [►] and [◄] keys to select and touching [OK] to confirm or [ESC] to change the starting time of the slot
In the final step, select the ending time and confirm with [OK]. This time cannot be less than the starting time of the slot; by selecting two coinciding values for the starting and ending time of the slot, the daily program is not modified.
The second item of the “Programming” menu allows to copy the program of one day to another, selecting the source day at the top and the destination day at the bottom
Simply select “ALL” as the destination, to have the same program every day. When the [OK] key is pressed, a message confirms that the program has been copied. The third item “Enable program” in the menu allows you to activate the weekly program and view some information, such as the current time, the status of the heat demand and the daily diagram of the current day. It is therefore necessary to set the weekly program to ON to activate its operation. This screen remains fixed until the [ESC] button is pressed
INTERNAL POWER RESERVE
The display is equipped with an internal power reserve capable of buffering the absence of power for a few hours, so that the user can avoid resetting the current time. However, the time it takes for the power reserve to run out varies depending on the humidity and ambient temperature, as well as the aging of the electronic components. For the power reserve to be fully operational, the device must have been correctly and uninterruptedly powered for at least a couple of hours.
STORAGE OF DATA IN MEMORY
If the internal energy reserve described in the paragraph above runs out, the display still saves some settings and data in memory; in particular, the display settings, the WiFi settings, the weekly program and the faults history. It is possible to restore all settings to default values via the “Factory reset” submenu in the “SETTING DISPLAY” menu. ATTENTION: Pressing the reset button on the back of the display does not restore the factory settings.
ANTI-LEGIONELLA FUNCTION
WARNING: LEGIONELLA IS A BACTERIA THAT AFFECTS THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. THE PREVENTION OF THIS
INFECTION IS BASED ON THE CORRECT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF WATER-SANITARY SYSTEMS. The appliance has an anti-legionella function, which allows to heat the water in the tank to prevent the bacterium from proliferating inside it. To avoid infection throughout the building system, it is necessary to ensure that the water treated by the device can circulate to the individual users. The system brings the water to a temperature of 65° for 20 minutes. The writing “LEg” appears at the bottom of the display.
ACTIVATION
Anti-legionella 3h:
It is automatically activated as “Anti-legionella 3h” three hours after the first time the system has been electrically powered and turned on, or after a period of inactivity because disconnected from the electrical system, and, in the meantime, no demand has been served which led the boiler water to a temperature greater than or equal to 65°C. Anti-legionella 7 days: It is automatically activated as “Anti-legionella 7 days” 7 days from the moment in which the anti-legionella 3h or anti-legionella 7 days status was last activated, and in the meantime no demand has been served which led the water boiler to a temperature greater than or equal to 65°C.
ANTIFREEZE FUNCTION
ATTENTION: THIS FUNCTION IS LIMITED TO THE TANK VOLUME. TO PROTECT THE WATER SYSTEM, INSULATE THE PIPES CORRECTLY. The appliance has an antifreeze function, which allows the water in the tank to be heated to prevent it from freezing due to prolonged periods of inactivity and/or installations in very cold rooms.
ACTIVATION
It is activated automatically if the lower probe of the appliance detects a temperature lower than ≤ 5°C. The antifreeze symbol appears on the display. The burner is turned on to heat the water contained in the boiler and turns off, as soon as the probe itself detects a temperature above ≥ 30°C.
IMPRESSED CURRENT CATHODIC PROTECTIVE SYSTEM
To protect the tank against corrosion, a direct current is circulated between the tank and two special active titanium anodes which are placed inside the tank itself. The electronic cathodic protection device acts on the element to be protected in a totally automatic way: no calibration or setting is necessary. Unlike sacrificial magnesium anodes, these electrodes do not wear out, ensuring protection without time limits. ATTENTION: IF THE BOILER IS EMPTY, SWITCH OFF THE POWER SUPPLY TO AVOID ACTIVATING THE ANTI-FREEZE, ANTI- LEGIONELLA AND CATHODIC PROTECTION MODE
