Installation room

The START KI boiler must be installed in rooms having aeration
openings in compliance with the Technical Standards and of ade-
quate dimensions.
Consider the clearances necessary to access safety and ad-
justment devices and to perform maintenance operations.
Check that the electric protection level of the appliance is suit-
able for the installation room characteristics.
In case the boilers are supplied with fuel gas of a specific
weight greater than that of the air, the electric parts will have to
be placed at a level above the ground greater than 500 mm.
1.4 Installation on appliances that are old or that
need to be updated
When the START KI boiler is installed in old systems or systems
being updated, verify that:
- The smoke pipe is suitable for the temperature of the combustion
products, calculated and built according to Standard, as straight as
possible, airtight, insulated and has no blockages or constrictions.
- The electrical system is installed in compliance with the specific
standards and by qualified personnel.
- The fuel supply line and eventual tank (LPG) are made according
to specific Standards.
- The expansion tank ensures the total absorption of the dilatation of
the fluid contained in the system.
- The flow rate and head of the circulator are suitable to the charac-
teristics of the system.
- The system has been washed and cleaned of mud and grime,
de-aerated and water tight.
- There is a treatment system for when the supply/make-up water is
particular (the values in the table can be used as reference values).

The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from
the incorrect construction of the flue gas discharge system.
In existing buildings, this natural draft boiler must be connected
only to an exhaust stack shared by several dwellings to evac-
uate the combustion residues outside of the room in which the
boiler is located. The boiler draws the air required for combus-
tion directly from the room and is equipped with a wind pro-
tection chimney. Because of lower efficiency, using this boiler
for any other use must be avoided, as it would lead to higher
energy consumption and greater operating costs.

1.5 Boiler installation
For a correct installation, keep in mind that:
- the boiler must not be placed above a stove or other cooking ap-
pliance;
- it is forbidden to leave flammable products in the room where the
boiler is installed;
- heat-sensitive walls (e.g. wooden walls) must be protected with
suitable insulation;
- the minimum clearances for technical and maintenance interven-
tions must be respected.

The boiler is supplied with a cardboard preassembly template which
allows making the connections to the heating and domestic hot water
system without the boiler being present; it can be installed later.
FASTENING OF THE CARDBOARD TEMPLATE
The START KI boiler is designed and built to be installed in heating
and domestic hot water systems.
The position and dimension of plumbing fittings are shown in the
following drawings.
- Position the cardboard template on the wall, with the aid of a spirit
level: check the correct horizontal plane and the planarity of the
boiler rest surface; make it thicker if needed.
- Mark the fixing points.
- Remove the template and drill the holes.
- Check the correct horizontality with a spirit level.
FIXING THE BOILER
- Fasten the boiler.

Hydraulic connections

We recommend connecting the boiler to the systems introducing
both the DHW shut-off valve as well as the shut-off valves for the
heating system; for this purpose a heating system valves kit and
heating valves kit with filter is available.
