1 ferroli Boiler Replacement Optimax HE- Modena HE

2 Introduction The new Ferroli Modena 32C HE high efficiency condensing combination boiler is an ideal replacement for the Ferroli Optimax HE 31 C and the OPTIMAX HE PLUS 31 C. The Ferroli Modena 32C HE is smaller, weighs less, has built-in frost protection and an IP protection rating of IPX5D. This allows direct replacement wherever the existing boiler is legitimately installed (i.e. Kitchen, Garage, Bathroom, etc.) Although the actual position of the pipe-work connections differ slightly, the configuration remains the same, thereby requiring only limited pipe-work alteration. The electrical connection remains the same, i.e. all models supplied with a factory fitted three core fly - lead to provide a permanent live connection and all models use the same volt free contacts for any external system controls. The flue connection is located centrally on both boilers, so no alteration to the existing flue position should be necessary Please note: This guide refers to the fitting of a replacement boiler with a standard horizontal flue application only (minor adjustments may be necessary for other flue applications refer to boiler installation instructions) The work procedures described in this document must be completed strictly in accordance with the manufacturer s installation instructions, current regulations and relevant standards, and only by competent person/persons as stated in the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations. Prior to fitting the replacement boiler the entire system must be thoroughly cleansed and flushed in accordance with Building Regulations L1A/L1B & BS The Installation must comply with the following; Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations The Building Regulations The Building Regulations (Scotland) Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) The Water Fittings Regulations or Water Byelaws in Scotland The Current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations BS 5440: Part 1 - Flues. BS 5440: Part 2 - Ventilation. BS Installation of gas fired hot water boilers BS 7671: - Electrical wiring BS Gas Installation BS Installation of hot water supplies for domestic purposes. BS Forced circulation hot water systems BS Expansion vessels / sealed systems BS Treatment of water in domestic central heating systems.

3 Manual Handling When lifting take suitable safety precautions: keep your back straight, bend knees, do not turn your body, avoid bending forward or sideways and keep the load as close as possible to your body. Ideally seek assistance in lifting the boiler. If possible, use a trolley or other suitable means to carry the boiler to site. Use appropriate protective clothing and gloves to avoid injury from any sharp edges etc. REMOVING THE EXISTING OPTIMAX HE Fig.1 1. Remove the outer casing by undoing the two securing screws (A) on the underside of the case. Ease the lower edge of the case (B) forward to clear the controls display and lift the case (C) upwards off the frame - Fig Safely isolate the electricity, gas and water supplies to the appliance. Completely drain the boiler and central heating system and disconnect all existing pipe-work connections from the underside of the boiler (Fig.2) Fig Disconnect the electrical supply to the boiler at the 3 pin plug or fused spur. Undo the securing screw (Fig.3 - A) and hinge down the controls cover panel to access the terminal block. (Please note: some earlier models had only one securing screw) Disconnect any external controls connections at the terminal block. Fig.3 A

4 4. Disconnect and remove the flue from the existing boiler by undoing the four screws securing the appliance bend to the top of the boiler (Fig.4) Fig.4 Fig.5 5. Ensure that all pipe connections are free, move the base of the boiler forward and lift the boiler off the hanging bracket tabs and unscrew the hanging bracket from the wall. (Fig.5) 6. Finally, check that the wall surface is sound, flat and capable of supporting the weight of the boiler. Make any necessary repairs before installing the new boiler. 7. It is suggested that where possible the existing pipe-work is cut back approximately 200mm - 300mm for ease of connecting the existing pipe-work to the new valves (Fig. 6) Fig.6 If a stand-off bracket has been used and the pipe-work runs behind the boiler, then a new stand-off bracket will need to be fitted and pipes extended to the new valve positions (see below; paragraph 3-Fig.5)

5 INSTALLING THE NEW MODENA C HE Modena 32C HE Dimensions 1. Check the existing flue terminal position with regard to possible nuisance pluming. 2. Unpack the boiler and check the contents are complete and undamaged (see opposite) Please note: The new flue kit is sold separately Boiler Pack Contents 1 x Modena C HE Boiler 1 x Installation Instructions 1 x Hanging Bracket 1 x Filling Loop 1 x Valve Pack 1 x Condensate Bowl/Hose 1 x Paper Template 3. Align the fixing template on the wall with the existing flue hole, ensuring it is level both horizontally and vertically. Check for required minimum clearances then mark the most suitable fixing points for the hanging bracket. It is advisable to mark the position of the gas, water and heating pipes at this point (Fig.5) 4. Drill the wall and fix the hanging bracket using the wall plugs and fixings provided. Make sure the bracket is level before tightening the fixing screws Fig.5
