Caution.
Risk of material damage due to corrosion.
If non-diffusion-tight plastic pipes are used
in the heating installation, this may cause
air to enter the heating water and corrosion

5.1 Installation requirements 5.2 Installing the gas connection
5.1.1 Information on liquid gas operation
In the as-delivered condition, the product is preset for opera-
tion with the gas group indicated on the identification plate.
If you have a product that has been preset for operation with
natural gas, you must convert it to run on liquid gas. You will
need a conversion kit for this. The conversion procedure is
described in the manual supplied with the conversion kit.
5.1.2 Purging the liquid gas tank

If the liquid gas tank is not purged properly, this may result in
ignition problems.
▶ Ensure that the liquid gas tank has been purged properly
before installing the product.
▶ If required, contact the filler or the liquid gas supplier.
5.1.3 Using the correct type of liquid gas

Using the incorrect type of liquid gas may cause fault shut-
downs in the product. Ignition and combustion noise may
occur in the product.
1. Install the gas line in accordance with the recognised

in order to prevent the warm start function from being
increasingly activated due to backflow.
4. Install a tundish with siphon for the condensate dis-
charge and the exhaust pipe on the expansion relief
valve. Lay as short a drain line as possible, at a down-
ward gradient away from the tundish.
5. Insulate bare pipes exposed to environmental influ-
ences to protect them from frost using suitable insu-
lating material.
1. Make the water connections as shown in accordance

with the relevant standards.
2. Ensure correct water pressure and flow requirements
and that any expansion can be accommodated with the
cold supply pipe work.

F Inspection and maintenance work – Overview

The table below lists the manufacturer requirements with respect to minimum inspection and maintenance intervals. If na-
tional regulations and directives require shorter inspection and maintenance intervals, you should observe these instead of
the intervals listed in the table.
Mainten-
ance
Inspection
No. Work (At least
(annual)
every five
years)
Check the air/flue pipe for leak-tightness and to ensure that it is fastened correctly. Make sure
1 that it is not blocked or damaged and has been installed in accordance with the relevant Installa- X X
tion Manual.
Check the general condition of the product. Remove dirt from the product and from the vacuum
2 X X
chamber.
Visually inspect the general condition of the Thermoblock. In doing so, pay particular attention
3 to signs of corrosion, rust and other defects. If you notice any damage, carry out maintenance X X
work.
Check the gas flow pressure at maximum heat input. If the gas flow pressure is not within the
4 X X
correct range, carry out maintenance work.
Check the CO₂ content (the air ratio) of the product and, if necessary, adjust it. Keep a record of
5 X X
this.
Disconnect the product from the power mains. Check that the electrical plug connections and
6 X X
other connections are seated correctly and correct these if necessary.
7 Close the gas isolator cock and the service valves. X
Drain the product on the water side (observe the pressure gauge). Check the pre-charge pres-
8 sure of the expansion vessel, and top up the vessel if necessary (approx. 0.03 MPa/0.3 bar un- X
der the system filling pressure).
9 Remove the compact thermal module. X
Check the insulating mats in the combustion area. If you notice any damage, replace the insu-
10 lating mats. Replace the burner flange seal each time it is opened and accordingly each time X
maintenance work is carried out.
11 Clean the heat exchanger. X
12 Check the burner for damage and replace it if necessary. X
13 Check the condensate trap in the product, clean and fill this, if required. X X
14 Install the compact thermal module. Caution: Replace the seals. X
Products with integrated hot water generation only: If the volume of water is insufficient or the
15 X
outlet temperature is not reached, replace the secondary heat exchanger if necessary.
Products with integrated hot water generation only: Clean the filter in the cold water inlet. Re-
place the filter if impurities can no longer be removed or if the filter is damaged. In this case, also
16 X
check the impeller sensor for dirt and damage, clean the sensor (do not use compressed air for
this) and replace the sensor if it is damaged.
17 Open the gas isolator cock, reconnect the product to the power mains and switch the product on. X X
Open the service valves, fill up the product/heating installation to 0.1-0.2 MPa/1.0-2.0 bar (de-
18 X
pending on the static height of the heating installation) and start the purging programme P.00.

Insert analyser probe into air inlet test point and allow readings to stabilise.
NOTE - where no air inlet test point is provided then a flue integrity check
with the analyser is not possible. The installer should verify that flue

Appendix
I Text from BS 5440-1 on fan-supported flue gas pipes

BS 5440–1: It is recommended that the fanned flue gas system terminal is positioned as follows:
– At least 2 m from an opening in the building directly opposite, and
– So that the combustion products are not discharged directly across a property boundary.
– Dimensions D, E, F and G: These clearances may be reduced to 25 mm without affecting the performance of the boiler.
In order to ensure that the condensate vapour plume does not damage adjacent surfaces, the terminal should be exten-
ded as shown.
– Dimension H: This clearance may be reduced to 25 mm without adversely affecting the performance of the boiler. How-
ever, in order to ensure that the condensate vapour plume does not damage adjacent surfaces, a clearance of 300 mm is
preferred. For IE, recommendations are given in the current issue of the IS 813.
