explosion hazard!
Warning: If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.

1.6

Inspection

We advise you to offer your customer an annual inspection and
maintenance contract. If inspection reveals that maintenance
work is necessary you can carry this out as required in the Installation instruction of the boiler.
Installation
CAUTION:

 Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this
or any other boiler.
What to do if you smell gas
 Do not try to light any boiler.

–

Carry out a maintenance overhaul if necessary. Immediately repair defects to avoid
damage to the heating system!

Periodically examine the venting systems and cleaning of the
screens in the vent terminal.

 Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.

–

Also periodically inspect the low water cutoffs, including
flushing of float types.

–

And periodically inspect the burner flames (see page 8, fig. 1,
pos. 10).

–

Check the neutralization unit if present.

–

Check to see if there are no obstructions to the flow combustion and ventilation air.

–

For direct vent boilers, proper reassembly and resealing of
the vent-air intake system is required.

Observe these instructions for heating
system water

–

Thoroughly flush the system prior to filling.
Only use untreated main water to fill and top off the system.

–

Do not use salt bedding exchangers to soften the water.

–

Do not use inhibitors or other additives!

–

No Toxic chemicals such as used for boiler treatment, shall
be introduced into the heating water used for space heating.

–

The maximum permissible flow rate of the GB142-24/30 this
is 11 GPM (gal./min.), for the GB142-45 is 15 GPM and for
the GB142-60 is 20 GPM.
When using oxygen-permeable pipes, e. g. for floor heating
systems, you must separate the system using heat exchangers. Unsuitable heating system water promotes the formation
of sludge and corrosion.
This may damage the heat exchanger or affect its operation.

1.5

Check and clean the heating system at least
once a year.

–

Installation and service must be performed by a
qualified installer, service agency or the gas
supplier.

If the display code is a fault code, this fault code either flashes
(locked fault code) in the display or it is shown permanently
(blocking fault code). A boiler reset is only necessary with a
locking fault code (flashing) (see 8, fig. 2). The cause of the
fault must be remedied first. The cause has to be remedied
and the boiler resumes regular operation.
In the event of a locking boiler fault code both the display

If there are more than once display codes at the same time,
the display codes will be shown in turn. And if one of these
display codes is a locking display code, the blocking display
codes shown will also flash.

During the time-proportional program the
burner is switched on and off repeatedly.
The period in which the burner is
switched on depends on the difference
between the load required by the
modulating room controller and the lower
limit of the boiler load. As soon as the
burner is switched on, the device is
operating at minimum load. As soon as
the burner is switched off, the display
[2/6/5| is indicated in the
