To turn the boiler off, simply press the ON/OFF button again, and the boiler will shut down, ceasing all operation.
The ON/OFF button serves as a primary control for the boiler, allowing you to quickly and easily start or stop its operation. It is essential for managing the boiler’s energy consumption and ensuring its safety. Always ensure that the boiler is turned off when not in use to prevent unnecessary energy waste and potential hazards.
Initial Operating/Ignition Procedures
The Ariston E Combi Evo boiler employs a straightforward ignition procedure that ensures safe and efficient operation. The ignition process is automated, requiring minimal user intervention, and is designed to ensure a reliable and consistent flame for heating and hot water. To initiate the ignition sequence, first, ensure that the boiler is connected to a power source and that the gas supply is turned on. Then, press the ON/OFF button located on the control panel.
The boiler will begin the ignition process, which typically involves the following steps⁚
– The gas valve opens, allowing gas to flow into the burner.
– The ignition system, often a spark ignitor or a hot surface igniter, generates a spark or heat to ignite the gas.
– The flame sensor detects the presence of the flame and sends a signal to the control system.
– The control system regulates the gas flow to maintain a stable flame.
– The boiler enters its operating mode, ready to provide heating and hot water.
If the ignition process fails, the boiler will display an error code on the control panel, indicating the specific issue. In such cases, refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual for guidance on resolving the issue. It is essential to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and safety precautions during the initial operating and ignition procedures.
Adjusting/Switching
The Ariston E Combi Evo boiler offers versatile control options for adjusting heating and hot water settings to suit your specific requirements. The control panel provides intuitive controls for modifying the boiler’s operation. To adjust the central heating settings, locate the selector switch marked “B” on the control panel. Set the switch to the symbol representing clock control to enable timed operation for central heating. For continuous central heating operation, set the switch to “I”. To permanently deactivate the central heating, set the switch to “0”.
The boiler’s hot water temperature can be adjusted using the dedicated control on the control panel. The hot water temperature setting will determine the maximum temperature of the water delivered by the boiler. It is important to adjust the hot water temperature to a safe level, particularly for households with young children or elderly individuals. To switch the boiler off completely, press the ON/OFF button on the control panel. The display will turn off, indicating that the boiler is no longer operational. The boiler’s anti-frost function remains active even when the boiler is switched off, preventing freezing in cold temperatures.
