5 / Safety information 2. Safety information In the event of danger! Interrupt the flow of fuel (gas) and cut off the power supply If you smell gas! Do not smoke No open fire Avoid sparks Do not switch on lights or other electric appliances Open windows and doors Close the gas shut off valve Contact the heater company/licensed installer Observe the safety guidelines on the gas counter Observe the safety guidelines of the heater company If you smell exhaust gas! Switch the system off Open all windows and doors Notify a specialist heating firm Fresh air supply Fresh and exhaust air openings must not be closed. Closure of fresh air supply openings may lead to incomplete combustion and in turn to the production of poisonous gases. This does not apply if your system is operated independent of boiler room air. Commissioning of a newly installed system may only be carried out by a qualified installer.the installation control must be completed prior to commissioning -see chapter Safety precautions Checking the water level - see page 15 Always keep the room in which the boiler is ocated clean and turn off the burner before starting the cleaning to avoid any faults due to dusty combustion air. Corrosion prevention: Don t use sprays, solvents, purifying agents, colours, glues etc. close to the boiler. These substances may cause corroision in the boiler and the flue gas pipe. 2.2 Intended use i Intended use: The TopGas boiler may only be operated with the fuels indicated in the Information/ Installation instructions. The heat produced must be carried away by the heating water. All boiler openings must be closed during operation. 5

7 / Functional principle of the heating system 4. Functional principle of the heating system Component Gas heating boiler Water heater Function Burns natural gas safely without harming the environment. Removes heat from the exhaust gas generated by combustion and transfers it to the heating water. It holds a reserve of domestic hot water for consumption (e.g. for showering). Boiler control Controls and monitors operation of the heating boiler. Ensures that, whatever the temperature outside, the room temperature is as required in an optimum and fuelefficient manner. Radiators, underfloor heating Delivers the heat from the heating water to the room. Heating pump Pumps the heating water from the boiler to the radiators and back to the boiler, where it is heated up again. Mixer valve Manometer Changes the heater flow temperature by mixing in colder heater return water (water that flows to the radiator), so that the desired room temperature is achieved regardless of the outside temperature. Indicates the water pressure in the heating system. Vent Ensures that only heating water and no air is in the system or heaters. Safety valve Prevents pressure in the system becoming excessive. Membrane expansion vessel Keeps the pressure in the system constant. 7

8 4. Functional principle of the heating system / 5. System start-up / 00 Chimney, flue system Radiator(s) or underfloor heating where fitted Water heater Heating boiler 5. System start-up i Commissioning of a newly installed system may only be carried out by a qualified installer. A full installation check must be completed prior to start-up. - Press On/Off to switch the appliance off (LED dark), water pressure is displayed! - Open the shut-off valve of the heater flow and return. - Open the shut-off valve of the gas line that leads to the boiler - Turn on the main switch outside the boiler room (if available). Frequently the heating system has an additional safety switch that only disable the gas burner. - Before commissioning the TopGas the stench trap (siphon) in the condensate drain pipe must be filled with water. 5.1 Checks prior to start-up Check the water level in the heating system. i The heating system must be filled with water and all the air removed. Observe the regulations regarding antifreeze and water treatment. Open the shut-off valves in the flow and return lines. Check the fresh air supply to the heating system. Check the settings for the operating modes. 5.2 Switching on the system Open the gas valve. Turn on the main switch. Set the boiler control unit to the desired operating mode and temperature. 8

9 / Heating system control 6. Heating system control 6.1 Operating elements of the boiler control panel / basic control N4.3 Normally the user does not need to change the basic control settings. All necessary settings have been adjusted by the installer or at the factory.

If you are unable to correct the fault, please call either the installation engineer or the Hoval Customer Services. 14

15 / Checking the water level 8. Checking the water level If the water pressure in the system is too low readable on the manometer (installed externally) or in the two-digit display when the boiler is Off (LED is dark) - contact your installation professional or top off water. Topping off the heating system To fill up or top off your heating system you can use regular drinking water. In some exceptional cases the water quality may not be suitable for use in a heating system (highly corrosive or calcium rich water). If that is the case, please contact a reputable specialist. Instructions Press the On/Off button to turn the appliance off (LED is dark); the water pressure is displayed. The heater flow and return valves must be open. The boiler fill and drain faucet is accessible on the underside of the boiler. Connection between the fill faucet and the water faucet is made by using a hose: - Fill the hose with water before connecting it to the boiler to prevent air from getting into the heating system. - Remove the hose after filling the system to ensure a safe disconnect. Fill the water in slowly while checking the water level at the hydrometer or at the display. After topping off the water, briefly open the bleeder valves until all the air has escaped from the system. 15

16 9. This is how you can save energy! / 00 ENERGY 9. This is how you can save energy! Room temperatures and operating times of the heating system have a decisive influence on the fuel consumption. 1 C reduction in the room temperature setting leads to an economy in fuel consumption of up to 6%. Therefore, please take note of the following tips: Avoid setting room temperatures above 20 C and adjust your heating system accordingly. It is worth turning off the radiators in unused rooms, provided there is no risk of frost and no damage caused by moisture either to the building fabric or its furnishings is to be expected. In the main living rooms, there is frequently heat gain due to body warmth, televisions, fireplaces and also sunshine. These cannot be compensated by a weatherdependent regulatory system. It may be worth installing a remote control (RS 30) or a room sensor or fitting thermostats to the radiators in these rooms. When it is draughty in the house, it is not merely unpleasant; it indicates at the same time that heating energy is being wasted. You therefore save fuel if you... keep windows and doors closed in winter.. close chimney dampers when the fire is out. only operate kitchen and bathroom fans when it is necessary to remove moisture and odours. only ventilate briefly, but frequently. seal doors and windows, to prevent continuous leakage loss. Insulation helps to keep in valuable warmth. Take advantage of all these possibilities and... close window and door shutters at night. make sure that heating pipes and hot water pipes in unheated rooms are properly insulated. As low a radiator temperature as possible will prevent unnecessary heat losses. For this reason, the radiator must always be enabled to give its heat up to the room without hindrance. You should therefore avoid: radiator coverings. window-sills which obstruct heat flow because the outlets are covered. Heating the hot water too offers opportunities for saving. The hot water temperature should be set as low as possible. Experiment to find out the lowest temperature at which there is still enough hot water available. If your system includes a hot water circulating pump, it is worth shutting this down at night by means of a time-switch. 16
