Start up

Start up the device by:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.

Filling the device (5 “Fill”).

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

Opening the gas valve (3.5 “Connections diagram”).

 

 

3.

Switching on the voltage of the device using the main switch between the

 

 

 

device and the electricity mains.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.

Setting the device to the desired temperature.

 

 

 

 

 

This device has been equipped with an electronic hot surface igniter that ignites

 

 

the burner. There are three LEDs indicating the different operating conditions.

 

 

Green:

the device is live.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yellow:

a heat demand has been detected; this indicates the beginning of the

 

 

 

 

ignition cycle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Red:

 

the gas valve is open.

As soon as there is a heat demand, the fan pre-purges for 6 seconds in order to remove any combustion gases still present. Then the fan stops and heats the hot surface igniter for 35 seconds. After this pre-heating period, the fan starts and the gas valve opens. This blows the air/gas mixture over the heated hot surface igniter and ignites the burner. The hot surface igniter switches off and subsequently works as a flame probe for measuring if the ignition has taken place. If the hot surface igniter detects loss of the flame, it will shut off the gas supply to the burner.
