After allowing the circulator to work for a few minutes, set the on/offswitch to the OFF position, bleed the circulation pump and makesure that both the boiler and the system are properly bled. Adjustthe pressure to the static pressure (1 bar = 10 m – 1.5 bar = 15 m)+ 0.5 bar.9. The boiler is now ready to operate. Set the on/off switch to the ONposition, the summer/winter selector, the half and full powerswitches and the control thermostat all to the desired positionsAfter a few days in operation we advise you tocheck the quality of the electrical connections andalso make sure there is no air in either the boiler orthe system.Switch the power supply off from the outside boxbefore carrying out any work.84.4 RECOMMENDATIONACV recommend that boilers should be serviced at least once a year.This servicing work should be carried out by a competent technician.4.5 SPARE PARTSPlease refer to the specific document available from ACV or yourdistributor.3.1 FILLING THE HEATING AND DOMESTIC HOTWATER CIRCUITS1.
