4.1Changing the Type of Gas

The boiler can be converted to use either methane (natural) gas (G20) or LPG (G30 - G31) by an Authorised Service Centre.

The operations that must be performed are the following:

1.Replace the jets on the main burner (see table in section 4);

2.Adjust the maximum and minimum thermal capacity values for the boiler (see table in section 4);

3.Replace the gas rating plate;

4.Adjust the maximum thermal power setting;

6.Adjust the ignition delay feature for the heating system (can be set from 0 to 2 mins.).

5.MAINTENANCE

It is recommended that the following checks be made on the boiler at least once a year:

1 - Check the seals for the water connections; replacement of any faulty seals.

2 - Check the gas seals; replacement of any faulty gas seals.

3 - Visual check of the entire unit.

4 - Visual check of the combustion process and cleaning of the burners if needed.

5 - If called for by check no. 3, dismantling and cleaning of the combustion chamber.

6 - If called for by check no. 4, dismantling and cleaning of the injectors.

7 - Visual check of the primary heat exchanger:

-check for overheating in the blade assembly;

-clean the exhaust fan if needed.

8 - Adjustment of the flow rate of the gas: flow rate for lighting, partial load and full load.

9- Check of the heating safety systems:

-safety device for maximum temperature;

-safety device for maximum pressure.

10- Check of the gas safety systems:

-safety device for lack of gas or flame (detection electrode);

-safety device for gas cock.

11- Check of the electrical connection (make sure it complies with the instructions in the manual).

12- Check of domestic hot water production efficiency (delivery rate and tem- perature)

13- Check of the general performance of the unit.

14- General check of the discharge/ventilation of the combustion by- products.
