Introduction
The new Ferroli Modena 32C HE high efficiency condensing combination boiler is an ideal
replacement for the earlier Ferroli Optimax 25C.
The Ferroli Modena 32C HE is smaller, weighs less, has built-in frost protection and an IP protection
rating of IPX5D. This allows direct replacement wherever the existing boiler is legitimately installed
(i.e. Kitchen, Garage, Bathroom, etc.)
Although the actual position of the pipe-work connections differ slightly, the configuration remains
the same, thereby requiring only limited pipe-work alteration.
The electrical connection remains the same, i.e. all models supplied with a factory fitted three core fly - lead to provide a permanent live connection and all models use the same volt free contacts for any external system controls.
The flue connection the Optimax 25 C is to the right of centre but providing that there is a minimum clearance of 35mm to the right of the existing boiler, no alteration to the existing flue position is necessary.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note:
This guide refers to the fitting of a replacement boiler with a standard horizontal flue application only (minor adjustments may be necessary for other flue applications – refer to boiler installation instructions)
The work procedures described in this document must
be completed strictly in accordance with the
manufacturer’s installation instructions, current
regulations and relevant standards, and only by
competent person/persons as stated in the Gas Safety
(Installation & Use) Regulations.
Prior to fitting the replacement boiler the entire system
must be thoroughly cleansed and flushed in accordance
with Building Regulations L1A/L1B & BS 7593.

Manual Handling
When lifting take suitable safety precautions: keep your back straight, bend knees, do not turn your
body, avoid bending forward or sideways and keep the load as close as possible to your body. Ideally
seek assistance in lifting the boiler.
If possible, use a trolley or other suitable means to carry the boiler to site. Use appropriate
protective clothing and gloves to avoid injury from any sharp edges etc.
REMOVING THE EXISTING OPTIMAX 25C
1. Remove the outer case by undoing the
two case securing screws (A) on the
underside of the boiler. Lower the ‘drop
down controls cover panel’ (B) to clear
the controls facia, ease the bottom of
outer case forward and lift off the
retaining lugs (Fig.1)
2. Safely isolate the electricity, gas and
water supplies to the appliance.
Completely drain the boiler and central
heating system and disconnect all existing
pipe-work connections from the
underside of the boiler (Fig.2)
3. Disconnect the electrical supply to the
boiler at the 3 pin plug or fused spur.
Undo the securing screw on the
underside of the boiler and remove the
cover to access the terminal block.
Disconnect the mains electrical supply
lead and any external controls
connections at the terminal block (Fig.3)

undoing the four screws securing the appliance bend to the top
of the boiler (Fig.4)
5. Ensure that all pipe connections are free, move
the base of the boiler forward and lift the boiler
off the hanging bracket tabs and unscrew the
hanging bracket from the wall. (Fig.5)
6. Finally, check that the wall surface is sound, flat and capable of supporting the weight of the
boiler. Make any necessary repairs before installing the new boiler.
7. It is suggested that where possible the existing pipe-work is cut back approximately 200mm - 300mm for ease of connecting the existing pipe-work to the new valves (Fig. 6)
If a stand-off bracket has been used and the pipe-work runs behind the boiler, then a new stand-off bracket will need to be fitted and pipes extended to the new valve positions (see below; paragraph 3-Fig.5)

1. Check the existing flue terminal position
with regard to possible nuisance “pluming”.
2. Unpack the boiler and check the contents are complete and undamaged (see opposite)
Please note: The new flue kit is sold separately
3. Align the fixing template on the wall with
the existing flue hole, ensuring it is level both horizontally and vertically. Check for required minimum clearances then mark the most suitable fixing points for the hanging bracket. It is advisable to mark the position of the gas, water and heating pipes at this point (Fig.5)
4. Drill the wall and fix the hanging bracket
using the wall plugs and fixings provided. Make sure the bracket is level before tightening the fixing screws

5. Lay the boiler on its back. Remove the front casing panel by undoing the two securing screws on the underside of the case. Ease the lower edge of the panel forward to clear the controls display and lift upwards off the frame.
6. Lift the boiler onto the hanging bracket making
sure the lugs on the bracket locate correctly with
the two support brackets on the boiler frame (Fig. 6)

7. Remove the protective adhesive cover from the top of the boiler to expose the flue/fixing holes. Secure the new appliance flue bend to the top of the boiler using the screws and gasket provided
8. Level
8. From the outside, push the flue terminal length through the existing hole in the building fabric and align with the appliance bend. Lubricate the seal with a suitable silicone grease and push the flue pipe fully into the into the appliance bend.
Ensure the flue terminal is fitted level.

9. Remove the condensate bowl and hose from theboiler fittings pack. Undo plastic nut (Fig.9-A) and fitthe condensate bowl and washer. Push on therubber condensate hose to the trap outlet (Fig.9-B).
10. Connect the safety valve outlet (Fig.9-C) to theexisting 15mm discharge pipe and then connect theexisting condensate pipe to the rubber hose outlet.Check that both terminate in accordance with – BS6798.
Take care not to interfere with the new routes for gas, water and heating pipe connections
11. Fit the valve kit to the connections on theunderside of the boiler using the washersprovided (Fig 10) and reconnect to the existingpipe-work.
12. Connect the temporary filling loop betweenthe cold water inlet and the C H return pipeas close to the boiler as is practical (Fig.11)Open the CH isolation valves; fill and ventthe system and flush using a commissioningcleanser. During final filling add a suitablecorrosion inhibitor as per BS 7593.

13. Open the cold water isolation valve and thoroughly flush the cold/hot water pipe-work byopening all the hot taps.
14. Reinstate the gas supply, purge and test in accordance with BS 6891 and IGE/UP/1.
15. Connect the boiler to the electrical supply;the boiler is provided with a 1m cable andplug. Reconnect any external controls tothe volt free terminal block in the boiler.
To access the connections remove the securing screw and hinge the controls cover to the left. Connect the external controls to terminal block (72) as shown in Fig. 12.
Grommets to accept wiring from external controls are found on the right underside of the boiler.
Please note:
All electrical work must be in accordance with IEE Wiring Regulations - BS 7671:
External controls need to be compliant with Building Regulations L1A/L1B; further information is available from the “Domestic Building Services Compliance Guide”

16. Commissioning the boiler:(see 3.3 of the Modena C HE Installation Instructions)
Connect a manometer to the inlet test point of the gas valve (Fig.13)
Set the boiler to operate at maximum by selecting ‘TEST MODE’ and check that the operational (working) pressure at the gas inlet pressure test point is 20 mbar. To enter and exit ‘TEST MODE’, press the CH + & - buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds (Fig.14)
A pressure of 20 mbar should be obtained with all other gas appliances operating.
Please note: there may be a pressure loss across the isolation valve to the gas valve inlet test point of up to 1.3 mbar at maximum.
Remove the manometer & re-tighten the inlet test point.
17. Measure the gas rate of the boiler and check against thefollowing table;
18. Connect the flue gas analyser to the flue sample point(Fig.15); with the boiler still in TEST MODE check that thereadings are within the tolerances set out in the tablebelow;
If the readings are satisfactory, replace the boiler front cover.
Test the correct operation of the boiler, central heating system and DHW.
Advise the customer on the operation of the new boiler and any new controls.
