6.1 PROCEDURE FOR FIRST START UP
The complete procedure for the first start up of the appliance must be carried out by an
Technical Assistance according to the instructions supplied by the manufacturer.
Warranty could be invalidated if the first start up is not carried out and validated by
Technical Assistance.
Before leaving the factory, the appliance has been thoroughly tested.
Preliminary checks of the installation compliance
The Technical Assistance technician must:
Check that the whole installation has been realized in accordance with its design, •
following the manufacturer's instructions and respecting current legislation. The
design must have been drawn up by a professional specifier.
Check that all the connections (hydraulic, gas and electrical) of the appliance have •
been made correctly.
Check that the air/fumes pipes are properly connected.•
Check that the fumes condensate discharge is properly installed.•
Check that the safety clearances have been observed, as shown in Figure 3.2 •
Clearances → 20.
Check that the installation is actually compliant as per the Declaration of Conform-•
ity provided by the installer to the owner.
The Declaration of Conformity CERTIFIES that the installation is compliant with current
regulations. This Declaration is a mandatory document and as such it must be provided
by the installer to the owner.
If all the conditions listed above are in place, the Technical Assistance can proceed with
the commissioning and start up of the appliance.
If any non-compliant elements arise during the initial verification, the Technical Assist-
ance may choose not to proceed with the operation of "initial activation".
In this case, the Technical Assistance technician must:
Report the user/installer of any installation anomaly.•
Report the user/installer of any situation that is potentially hazardous for the appli-•
ance and for people.
Report of any missing documentation relevant to the installation.•
According to the reports made, advise any corrective action to be taken at the in-•
staller's care in order to proceed with the "first start up".
It is the responsibility of the user/installation technician to carry out any corrective meas-
ures on the plant indicated by the Technical Assistance. After such corrective measures
have been completed, the Technical Assistance will assess the plant again. At this point, if
safety and compliance conditions are judged satisfactory, the Technical Assistance must
carry out the "first start up".
