Connect the boiler to a 230V ~50 Hz mains supply.
VERY IMPORTANT: before turning the boiler on
make sure that the installation has been filled.
Domestic hot water
Turn on the cold water stopcock beneath the boiler.
Fill the unit by turning on the various hot water taps
in the installation.
Make sure that the assembly is completely airtight
and watertight.
The installation of a scale reducer/water softener is
recommended in hard water areas
To increase the hot water temperature, reduce the
flow of water at the hot water tap. This may be nec-
essary in winter months.
Central heating system
The correct installation is to be carried out as follows:
Open the radiator air vents.
With the stopcock on and domestic cold water
going through to the boiler, fill the central heating sys-
tem by opening the filling tap provided by your
installer.
Close the air vents off once water starts coming out
of each of them.
Close the filling tap when the pressure gauge
exceeds the pressure of 1.3 bar. Max = 1.5 bar.
By turning the main control switch to the winter set-
ting . When the pump works the pressure in the dig-
ital display increases.
Vent the central heating system once more. Then
let the pressure in the system settle at 1.3 bar. Max =
1.5 bar..
Make sure that there are no leaks in the installation.
Make sure that the heating system is completely
full and vented. The pressure gauge should show
between 1.3 and 1.5 bar with cold water in the heat-
ing system.
Make sure that the boiler is wired to the correct volt-
age.
Make sure that the combustion flue outlet is not
restricted.
Gas circuit
Turn on the gas stopcock to the installation.
Check that the whole gas circuit and gas connec-
tions to the boiler are airtight.
Settings
Before leaving the factory the boiler is pre-set in
accordance with the information on the adhesive data
plate, and therefore needs no further adjustment.
Should the type of gas need to be changed, check
with the corresponding section.

3.- USERS INSTRUCTIONS
Domestic hot water service.
Turn the main control switch in the summer setting in
order to turn the boiler on , see the figure below
(the green light turns on). At that moment the boiler
will be ready to supply domestic hot water whenever
there is a demand for it.
When you turn on any of the hot taps the boiler will
automatically come on with the pilot light switching on
first of all followed by the burner. A water temperature
of between 35° and 60° C can be selected by turning
the domestic hot water temperature regulating knob.
When the D.H.W. temperature regulating knob is
turned the digital display will show the values of the
temperature.
Hot water and central heating service.
Turn the switch to the winter setting . The burner
will automatically fire up if the clock and/or the room-
thermostat are calling for heat. A temperature of
between 60° and 85° C can be selected by turning
the heating temperature regulating knob. This will
stay on until it achieves the temperature selected
either in the room thermostat or in the boiler itself.
Whenever domestic hot water is required when it is at
the central heating setting, the boiler is designed to
give priority to the supply of domestic hot water, with
the central heating on hold, until the demand for
domestic hot water ceases. When the D.H.W. tem-
perature regulating knob is turned the digital display
will show the values of the temperature.
Switching off the boiler.
Turn the main switch to the setting O.
Reset of the boiler.
This unit has a built-in reset indicator. Whenever
any fault is detected in the ignition process, the boil-
er goes to lock out and the reset indicator switches
on and the fault code is shown in the display.
To reset the boiler turn the main switch to position
O. The reset indicator should then turn off.
When the system pressure either falls down to 0.6
bar or goes over 2.8 bar, the display will shown F-3.
It needs to fill it up to 1.3-1.5 bar (when system cold).
IMPORTANT: If the boiler has not been used for a
length of time, or a new gas bottle is connected, the
unit could lock out due to the presence of air in the
pipes. Should this happen, the ignition procedure
should be repeated until the gas circuit is cleared of
all air in the gas supply.
USER
Check the gas connections and make sure that the gas is coming into the boiler (that the gas tap is open)
Make sure that the heating system is completely full and vented. The pressure gauge should show between
1.3 and 1.5 bar with cold water in the heating system.
Make sure that the electricity supply to the boiler is switched on.

5.- ANTI PUM SEIZURE DEVICE
6.- FAULT CODES
Should a fault develop within the boiler
(diagnostic), the P.C.B. will diagnose the
possible cause via the reset indicator light
(Red Neon) and the digital display. The
fault will be shown in the display.
Each fault code begins with an “F” fol-
lowed by a number. Ranging from 1 - 13.
To reset the fault use the reset switch (4)
(see Control Panel page 4)
The boiler has an frost protection security system.
IMPORTANT: the boiler must be electrically
supplied and gas connected for this to operate.
Frost protection
When the heating thermistor detects a temperature of
6ºC, only the pump will switch and will continue to run
until a temperature of 9ºC is obtained.
If the temperature drops to 3ºC, the boiler will start on
minimum power until the temperature of 20ºC is
obtained.
NOTE: If the boiler is not to be used for a long peri-
od drain the heating installation using the valve (Z)
beneath the boiler and the D.H.W. installation.
The D.H.W circuit must be drained down as follows:
Turn off the cold water supply.
Open all the hot water outlet taps in the installation
(at least one tap should be found at a level lower than
the boiler).
Release the tap to drain the flow switch to allow air
to come in and for the stored water in the boiler to be
able to leave.(see figure)
When the operation is finished, close the hot water
outlet taps and the draining tap.
To put the boiler back into service, open the cold
water inlet tap.
When the boiler is not being used, the pump will auto-
matically run for one minute every 24 hours to pre-
vent seizure. TO ENSURE OPERATION OF THIS
DEVICE ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES MUST BE ON.
If the pump jammed when the appliance is turned
back on, consult your installer or service engineer.

The installation must be carried out by specialised
companies, which are qualified to do so, adhering to
the technical instructions and keeping to all current
regulations governing the installation.
The installer must also comply with all local regula-
tions, which may be in force.
Boiler Location
- The boilers are not suitable for external installa-
tion.
The boiler must be mounted on a noncombustible flat
wall sufficiently robust to take the weight of the boil-
er- see technical data (page 10). If the wall is of com-
bustible material, it should be protected by a sheet of
fireproof material.
- If the boiler is to be installed in a timber framed
building, refer to the British gas publication “Guide for
Gas Installation in timber framed housing”reference
DM2.
- Installation may be in any room, although particu-
lar attention is drawn to the requirements of the cur-
rent IEE Wiring Regulations and, in Scotland, the
Electrical Provision of the Building Regulations appli-
cable in Scotland, with respect to the installation of
the boiler in a room containing a bath or shower.
- Where a room sealed boiler is installed in a room
containing a bath or shower, it must not be possible
for a person entering or using the bath or shower to
touch any electrical switch or boiler control using
mains electricity.
- Air supply: the room or compartment in which the
boiler is installed does not require a purpose provid-
ed vent when using the standard concentric flue.
- No combustible surface must be within 70 mm of
the boiler case, this includes any cupboard door.
Gas supply: (Natural gas) minimum=22 mm within 2
meters of gas valve for correct pressure see page 22,
chart 1.
Required clearances (minimum):
- 5 mm left hand side
- 5 mm right hand side
- 240 mm bottom of the boiler
- 130 mm top of the boiler
- 50 mm front of the boiler
Total access as per the dimensions above, are
required for service and/or repairs.
A tube descending frame (code 988010914) and a
cover plate (code 988010950) are available as
options.
Sitting the flue terminal fan flue room sealed
Detailed recommendations for flueing are given in
BS5440 Part 1: The following notes are intended to
give general guidance. The boiler must be installed
so that the flue terminal is exposed to external air.
The boiler must NOT be installed so that the terminal
discharge into another room or space such as an
outhouse, leanto or roof space. It is important that the
position of the terminal outlet allows a free passage
of air cross all times. the minimum acceptable spac-
ings from the terminal to obstructions and ventilation
openings are specified below.
Terminal Position Min. Spacing
1. Directly below an openable window 300mm (12”)
air vent or any other ventilation opening
2. Below guttering, drain pipes or soil pipes 75mm (3”)
3. Below balconies or eaves 200mm (8”)
4. Above adjacent ground or balcony 300mm (12”)
5. From vertical drain pipes or soil pipes 75mm (3”)
6. From internal or external corners 300mm (12”)
7. From a surface facing the terminal 600mm (24”)
8. From a terminal facing a terminal 1200mm (48”)
9. From site of window 300mm (12”)
Note: the flue can be extended to clear a projection.
Where the terminal is fitted within 850mm (34”) of a
plastic or painted eaves, an aluminium shield of at
least 750mm (30”) long should be fitted to the under-
side of the gutter or painted surface. Where the low-
est part of a terminal is less than 2m (6.5’) above a
balcony, above ground level or above a flat roof or
place to which any person has access, the terminal
must be protected by a guard of durable material.
The air inlet/combustion outlet pipe and the terminal
of the appliance must not be closer than 50mm (2”)
to any combustible material. Detailed recommenda-
tions on the protection of combustible material are
given in BS5440 Part 1: 1978 (Sub clause 20:1)
14
14.- Ø 60-100 MM HORIZONTAL CONCENTRIC COMBUSTION PRODUCT EXTRAC-
TION AND AIR INTAKE
The boiler comes supplied with the Ø 60-100 mm
concentric flue kit.
The extraction of the combustion products and the air
intake is carried out by means of Ø 60 mm concentric
pipes for the extraction of the combustion products
and Ø 100 mm pipes for the intake of air.
The maximum length of the combustion and intake
pipes which may be used with the boiler is 4 meters,
measured from the 90° bend. Each 90° bend, or two
45° bends, reduces the available length by 1 m. (See
installation examples).
It is recommendable to fit the pipe at a slight 2° or 3°
downward incline to prevent any water or condensa-
tion from entering in the boiler.
IMPORTANT: Use the flue restrictors ( Ø 80mm
with FE-24E and 2 flue restrictors Ø 85 and 50 mm
with FE-27E) when the length of the pipes is
equal or lower than 1 meter (this flue restrictor is
supplied with the boiler).

15.- Ø 80-125 MM HORIZONTAL CONCENTRIC COMBUSTION PRODUCT EXTRAC-
TION AND AIR INTAKE
The extraction of the combustion products and the air
intake is carried out by means of Ø 80 mm concentric
pipes for the extraction of the combustion products
and Ø 125 mm pipes for the intake of air do it with the
Ø80-125mm concentric flue kit.
The maximum length of the combustion and intake
pipes which may be used with the boiler is 10 meters,
measured from the 90° bend. Each 90° bend, or two
45° bends, reduces the available length by 1m. (See
installation examples).
It is recommendable to fit the pipe at a slight 2° or 3°
downward incline to prevent any water or condensa-
tion from entering in the boiler.
IMPORTANT: Use the flue restrictor ( Ø 80mm
with FE-24E and 2 flue restrictors Ø 85 and 50 mm
with FE-27E) when the length of the pipes is
equal or lower than 2 meter (this flue restrictor is
supplied with the boiler).

(See section of the electrical diagram)
This appliance must be efficiently earthed. A mains
supply of 230V ~ 50Hz is required. It is provided with
a rigid feed wire and a bridge in the room stat con-
nector, which should be removed if a room thermo-
stat is connected.
All external wiring to the boiler must be in accordance
with the current Wiring Regulations.
IMPORTANT: Whenever you are working on
the electric wiring of the unit, make sure
that the boiler is disconnected.
Should the supply cable ever need changing, the
new one to be installed must be of the same techni-
cal specifications as the one, which comes, supplied
with the boiler.
The boiler must be wired to a double poled fused
only 3 amp fuse.

19.- COMMISSIONING THE BOILER
Connect the boiler to a 230V ~50 Hz mains supply.
VERY IMPORTANT: before turning the boiler on
make sure that the installation has been filled.
Domestic hot water
Turn on the cold water stopcock beneath the boiler.
Fill the unit by turning on the various hot water taps
in the installation.
Make sure that the assembly is completely airtight
and watertight.
The installation of a scale reducer/water softener is
recommended in hard water areas
To increase the hot water temperature, reduce the
flow of water at the hot water tap. This may be nec-
essary in winter months.
Central heating system
The correct installation is to be carried out as follows:
Open the radiator air vents.
With the stopcock on and domestic cold water
going through to the boiler, fill the central heating sys-
tem by opening the filling tap provided by your
installer.
Close the air vents off once water starts coming out
of each of them.
Close the filling tap when the pressure gauge
exceeds the pressure of 1.3 bar. Max = 1.5 bar.
By turning the main control switch to the winter set-
ting , make sure that the pump runs. When the
pump works the pressure in the digital display
increases.
Vent the central heating system once more. Then
let the pressure in the system settle at 1.3 bar. Max =
1.5 bar. (pump off).
Make sure that there are no leaks in the installation.
Check the gas connections and make sure that
there is gas coming into the boiler (that the gas tap is
open).
Make sure that the heating system is completely
full and vented. The pressure gauge should show
between 1.3 and 1.5 bar with cold water in the heat-
ing system.
Make sure that the boiler is wired to the correct volt-
age.
Make sure that the combustion flue outlet is not
restricted.
Gas circuit
Turn on the gas stopcock to the installation.
Check that the whole gas circuit and gas connec-
tions to the boiler are airtight.
Settings
Before leaving the factory the boiler is pre-set in
accordance with the information on the adhesive
plate, and therefore needs no further adjustment.
Should the type of gas need to be changed, check
with the corresponding section.
20.- USERS INSTRUCTIONS
Domestic hot water service.
Turn the main control switch in the summer setting in
order to turn the boiler on , see the figure below
(the green light turns on). At that moment the boiler
will be ready to supply domestic hot water whenever
there is a demand for it.
When you turn on any of the hot taps the boiler will
automatically come on with the pilot light switching on
first of all followed by the burner. A water temperature
of between 35° and 60° C can be selected by turning
the domestic hot water temperature regulating knob.
When the D.H.W. temperature regulating knob is
turned the digital display will show the values of the
temperature.
Hot water and central heating service.
Turn the switch to the winter setting . The burner
will automatically fire up if the clock and/or the room-
Check the gas connections and make sure that the gas is coming into the boiler (that the gas tap is open)
Make sure that the heating system is completely full and vented. The pressure gauge should show between
1.3 and 1.5 bar with cold water in the heating system.
Make sure that the electricity supply to the boiler is switched on.
19
Annual maintenance for the boiler is compulsory
according to the terms of current legislation.
Once a year, the following checks must be carried out
by qualified personnel and is a condition of a 2 year
warranty.
These are the checks, which will be carried out:
Water pressure in the heating installation, on cold
must be between 1.3 and 1.5 bar. Otherwise it needs
to be raised up to these values.
The control and safety devices (gas valve, thermo-
stats) must work correctly.
The burner and heat exchanger must be clean. To
clean, you are advised to use soft brushes or com-
pressed air so as not to damage them. Do not use
chemical products.
Check the electrode gaps and position ensuring
that the ignition electrode tips are.
Directly over a flame port
3mm apart
5mm above the burner blade
Check that the flame sensing electrode tip is
6mm above the burner blade.
The expansion vessel must be full of air at a pres-
sure of 1 bar.
The gas and water installations must be tight.
The flue must be free of blockages.
The gas flow and pressure have to be kept at the
indicated values.
Check correct operation of the pump.
Every 3 years is recommended to change the flame
sensing electrode.
Cleaning The Cover
Clean the cover with a damp cloth without using
abrasive detergents.
21.- MAINTENANCE
thermostat are calling for heat. A temperature of
between 60° and 85° C can be selected by turning
the heating temperature regulating knob. This will
stay on until it achieves the temperature selected
either in the room thermostat or in the boiler itself.
Whenever domestic hot water is required when it is at
the central heating setting, the boiler is designed to
give priority to the supply of domestic hot water, with
the central heating on hold, until the demand for
domestic hot water ceases. When the D.H.W. tem-
perature regulating knob is turned the digital display
will show the values of the temperature.
Switching off the boiler.
Turn the main switch to the setting O.
Reset of the boiler.
This unit has a built-in reset indicator. Whenever
any fault is detected in the ignition process, the boil-
er goes to lock out and the reset indicator switches
on.
To reset the boiler turn the main switch to position
O. The reset indicator should then turn off.
When the pressure of the digital display blinks the
central heating must be filled minimum t0 1.3-1.5
maximum (system cold)
IMPORTANT: If the boiler has not been used for a
length of time, or a new gas bottle is connected, the
unit could lock out due to the presence of air in the
pipes. Should this happen, the ignition procedure
should be repeated until the gas circuit is cleared of
all air in the gas supply.

24.- CHANGING TO A DIFFERENT TYPE OF GAS
Should a different gas be used from the gas for which
the boiler has been equipped, the following parts
must be replaced.
Burner injectors (12).
Burner pressure must be regulated.
These modifications, together with the regulating
process, must only be carried out either by the
Technical Assistance Service or by a qualified expert.
Remove the front panel. As it will be held in place
by means of four fastening bolts, pull it off to remove
it. Remove the front panel of the close chamber.
Unscrew the 8 screws from the front panel of the
combustion chamber and then remove it.
Unscrew the four screws from the electronic box.
There are two screws on the front and another two at
the bottom of the unit. Move down the electronic box.
Remove the flame sensing electrode and the igni-
tion plug conectors.
Unscrew the four screws (A) which hold the mani-
fold onto the burner. Remove the manifold
Unscrew the hexagonal screw (B) which hold the
manifold to the gas valve.
Change 12 burner injectors (see chart 1).
Put the manifold in place. Put the flame sensing
electrode and the ignition plug conectors in place.
Put the front panel of the combustion chamber and
the front panel of the close chamber.
To adjust the pressures of the burner to the new
type of gas, proceed as follows:
Take off the plastic cover (D) of the electronic box.
The bridge S4:
- For LPG must be connected
- For natural gas must be disconnected
Dismantle the protective hood C (see gas valve
details 1) of the gas valve and set the burner in
D.H.W.
Set the maximun Output:
Set the D.H.W. temperature selector at maximum.
Place the variable resistance of the electronic card
P1 (see figure 3) in the maximum position (rotate
clockwise).
Open a D.H.W. tap.
Adjust the burner maximum pressure (see chart 2).
Using a hexagonal spanner rotate the screw E of the
gas valve (see gas valve details 2). Rotating clock-
wise the pressure increases.
Act on the variable resistance P1 rotating it anti-
clockwise until the burner pressure gets the same
value as what we got on the mechanical adjustment.
Set the minimal pressure
Open a D.H.W. tap.
Adjust the burner minimal pressure (see chart 2).
Disconnect one of the modulating electrovalve termi-
nals (electrovalve on which you are acting) of the gas
valve.
Adjust burner pressure to the value indicated in
chart 2 rotating the hexagonal screw E. Maintaining
blocked the hexagonal screw E rotate the star screw
T (see figure 2). Rotating clockwise the pressure
increases.
Once concluded the minimal output setting operation,
connect the terminal again.
Adjust the starting pressure acting on the variable
resistance P2 (rotating clockwise the pressure
increases). It is 4 mbar in natural gas, and 8 mbar. in
LPG. To make this operation you have to:
Disconnect the air connection of the ionisation
22.- FROST PROTECTION
23.- ANTI PUMP SEIZURE DEVICE
The boiler has an frost protection security system.
IMPORTANT: the boiler must be electrically
supplied and gas connected for this to operate.
Frost protection
When the heating thermistor detects a temperature of
6ºC, only the pump will switch and will continue to run
until a temperature of 9ºC is obtained.
If the temperature drops to 3ºC, the boiler will start on
minimum power until the temperature of 20ºC is
obtained.
NOTE: If the boiler is not to be used for a long peri-
od drain the heating installation using the valve (Z)
beneath the boiler and the D.H.W. installation.
The D.H.W circuit must be drained down as follows:
Turn off the cold water supply.
Open all the hot water outlet taps in the installation
(at least one tap should be found at a level lower than
the boiler).
Release the tap to drain the flow switch to allow air
to come in and for the stored water in the boiler to be
able to leave.(see figure)
When the operation is finished, close the hot water
outlet taps and the draining tap.
To put the boiler back into service, open the cold
water inlet tap.
When the boiler is not being used, the pump will auto-
matically run for one minute every 24 hours to pre-
vent seizure. TO ENSURE OPERATION OF THIS
DEVICE ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES MUST BE ON.
If the pump jammed when the appliance is turned
back on, consult your installer or service engineer.
