ferroli Boiler Replacement Maxima 35C- Modena HE

Introduction Although the new Ferroli Modena 32C HE high efficiency condensing combination boiler has an output slightly less than that of the Ferroli Maxima 35C it will, in the vast majority of cases, be an ideal replacement. The installer will need to check the overall heating requirements of the property, but rarely is the maximum output required solely for central heating; often the main concern being related to the performance of the domestic hot water. The DHW performance of the new Ferroli Modena 32C HE is almost equal to that of the Maxima 35C (@ t 30 0 ; Modena 32C HE = 15.3 l/m - Maxima 35C = 16.5 l/m) The Ferroli Modena C 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 outlet connection on the new Modena C HE is centrally aligned and is therefore completely compatible with the earlier Ferroli Maxima 35C. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

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.6) 7. 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.

8. It is suggested that where possible the existing pipework is cut back approximately 200mm - 300mm for ease of connecting the existing pipe-work to the new valves (Fig 7) 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) Fig.7 Cut existing pipes back approx 200mm 300mm INSTALLING THE NEW MODENA C HE 1. Check the existing flue terminal position with regard to possible nuisance pluming. A plume displacement kit is available to overcome any such problems. 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) 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
