Installation notes
• Check the electric wiring inside the boiler complies with the
national and local safety regulations.
• Do not confuse the powered conductors with the neutral
ones.
• Ensure that spliced wires cannot get into contact with neigh-
bouring terminals. Use adequate ferrules.
• Arrange the H.V. ignition cables separately, as far as possi-
ble from the control box and the other cables.
• When wiring the unit, make sure that AC 230 V mains voltage
cables are run strictly separate from extra low-voltage cables
to avoid risks of electrical shock hazard.
