Dear Customer:

Thank you for buying a Biasi Riva Combi Boiler System.

The Riva Combi is a high efficiency, non-condensing, wall mounted gas boiler which

provides central heat and domestic hot water.

We realize that it is not possible to answer all questions about the Riva Combi boiler

system in this manual. Reading this installation manual does not make the reader an

expert in all aspects of installation and operation, and does not replace the need for a

qualified, licensed heating contractor. We urge you to contact your installing contractor or

distributor if you are in question about any aspect of your boiler's performance. Our main

concern is that you are satisfied with your boiler and its performance. We require that your

contractor complete efficiency tests using instruments.

The external controls and accessories listed in this manual (excluding those supplied

inside the boiler) are intended to serve as guidelines rather than specific

recommendations. We realize that other makes and models of such devices are available

and can be used as successfully as those we specify. The installing contractor is the best

judge of a system's specific requirements, as well as the local availability of certain makes

and models of controls and accessories. The preceding does not apply, however, to the

equipment that comes with every boiler, such as the overheat control and pressure relief

valves. The installation of the specific devices supplied with every boiler is

absolutely necessary to the safe operation of the boiler and protection of the

heating system.

All BIASI wall hung boilers are built in accordance with the ASME boiler and pressure

vessel code, and bear the "H" stamp. The Entire range of applications for the Riva Combi

has been tested to standard CSA 4.9 and is CSA compliant.

This Riva Combi has a 2 year warranty, a copy of which is provided with the boiler. Please

be sure to return the warranty registration card as the warranty will be void without your

boiler's serial numbers (located on the ratings label affixed to the boiler), date of

installation and the name of your installer being on record in our files.

Thank you for purchasing our Riva Combi boiler. If you have questions or comments,

please don't hesitate to contact us immediately. Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction.

DANGER

RIVA COMBI USER MANUAL - REV A 5

Any appliance that burns natural gas, propane gas, fuel oil, wood or coal is capable of

producing carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a gas which is odorless,

colorless and tasteless but is very toxic. CO is lighter than air and thus may travel

throughout the building.

BRIEF EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF CO, OR

PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LESSER AMOUNTS OF CO MAY

RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. EXPOSURE CAN BE

FATAL AND EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS MAY RESULT

IN THE SUDDEN ONSET OF SYMPTOMS INCLUDING

UNCONSCIOUSNESS.

Symptoms of CO poisoning include the following:

dizziness vision problems shortness of breath

headache loss of muscle control unclear thinking

nausea weakness unconsciousness

The symptoms of CO poisoning are often confused with those of influenza, and the

highest incidence of poisoning occurs at the onset of cold weather or during flu season.

A victim may not experience any symptoms, only one symptom, or a few symptoms.

Suspect the presence of carbon monoxide if symptoms tend to disappear when

you leave your home.

The following signs may indicate the presence of carbon monoxide:

• Hot gasses from appliance, venting

system pipes or chimney, escaping into

the living space.

• Flames coming out around the appliance.

• Yellow colored flames in the appliance.

If any of the symptoms of CO occur, or if any of the signs of carbon monoxide are

present, VACATE THE PREMISES IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT A QUALIFIED

HEATING SERVICE COMPANY OR THE GAS COMPANY OR THE FIRE

DEPARTMENT.

ONLY QUALIFIED, LICENSED SERVICE CONTRACTORS SHOULD PERFORM

WORK ON YOUR BIASI RIVA COMBI BOILER.

• Stale or smelly air.

• The presence of soot or carbon in or

around the appliance.

• Very high unexplained humidity inside

the building.

1. General Information

The Riva Combi is a high efficiency, non-condensing, wall mounted gas boiler which

provides central heat and domestic hot water. The boiler features a gas valve which

modulates the energy input from 44,000 BTU/h to 108,000 BTU/h. The boiler is shipped

fully assembled. All units are pressure and combustion tested at the factory prior to

shipping.

Key Features:

• Wall mountable - saving valuable

floor space.

• Several flue options available.

• Electronic spark ignition.

• Safety flow switch - positioned on the

main circuit, which monitors the flow

and protects the main heat exchanger

from thermal shock should there be a

lack of water in the system.

• Frost protection - contains an integral

frost protection system to prevent

frost damage which can occur in

areas susceptible to very cold

weather conditions.

• Boiler operation recognition

system - should the boiler not be used

for longer than 24 hours, it then

performs a controlled system test to

ensuring the motorized components

within the boiler do not become

inoperable due to lack of use.

• Gas valve modulation - the gas input

modulates based off central heating

and domestic hot water temperature

to within ± 2 ºF.

• Diagnostic information system

equipped with three LED diagnostic

lights for quick error assessment.
