5.6 Converting the boiler to a different gas type 

 

  The conversion of a boiler from burning natural gas to LPG, or vice versa, must be carried out 

       exclusively by professionally qualified personnel, registered in accordance with current 
       legislation and authorized by Radiant Bruciatori Spa.  

  Check that the gas supply pipe is suitable for the new fuel type. 

 

Conversion is performed as follows: 

 

select the new gas type by changing parameter 

P02

 on the control panel (see 5.3 “Setting the parameters”); 

 

Proceed with the adjustment of the CO

2

  combustion value (see ‘4.6 CO

2

 Value adjustment’).
