These technical instructions contain useful and important infor-

mation for the correct installation, operation and maintenance

of the Remeha Avanta Plus combi and system boilers.



Read these instructions carefully before putting the boiler into

operation,familiariseyourselfwiththeircontrolfunctionsand

operation, strictly observing the instructions given. Failure to

dosomayinvalidatewarrantyorpreventtheboilerfrom

operating correctly.

The installation, commissioning, inspection and servicing of

the boiler must be carried out by a competent registered engi-

neerwhoholdsvalidACScertificationandinaccordancewith

currentgassafety(installationanduse)regulations,thebuild-

ing regulations and all other relevant codes of practice.

Allelectricalworkmustbecarriedoutbyacompetentengi-

regulations.

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all flue sys-

temsareinstalledinaccordancewithmanufacturersinstruc-

tions and all the requirements of EN 14471.

2.3.5 Safety valve discharge

A pressure relief safety valve is fitted in the boiler set to the

maximum operating pressure of the boiler of 3 bar.

If the pressure in the boiler becomes too high the pressure

isrelievedbyreleasingwatertooutsideviathesafetyvalve

discharge pipe. The discharge pipe should be fitted in accord-

ancewithBritishStandardsandmustbeatleast15mmØ.

Thepipeshouldbepositionedsothatthedischargeofwater

or steam is visible and cannot create a hazard to the occu-

pants of the premises or damage the electric components and

wiring.Inadditionthedischargeshouldbelocatedwhereitis
