2 RIVA PLUS MANUAL

Dear Customer:

Thank you for buying a Biasi Riva Plus Boiler System.

The Riva Plus is a high efﬁciency condensing, wall mounted gas boiler which provides central

heat supply water.

We realize that it is not possible to answer all questions about the Riva 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 re-

alize that other makes and models of such devices are available and can be used as suc-

cessfully 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 spe-

ciﬁc 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 boiler has been

tested to standard CSA 4.9 and is CSAcompliant.

This Riva Plus boiler 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 Plus boiler. If you have questions or comments, please

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

WARNING

DANGER

Boiler is certiﬁed as an indoor appliance. Do not install boiler outdoors or locate where it will

be exposed to freezing temperatures.

Caution: Do not store or use ﬂammable materials, chemicals or ﬂammable liquids,

especially gasoline, in the vicinity of this heating appliance.

Caution: Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, do not turn

off or disconnect the electrical supply to the pump. Instead, shut off the gas

supply at a location external to the appliance.

Caution: Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. Immediately

call a qualiﬁed service technician to inspect the boiler and to replace any part of

the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

— Do not store or use gasoline or other ﬂammable vapors and liquids in the

vicinity of this or any other appliance.

— WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your build-

ing.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the

gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you can not reach your gas supplier call the ﬁre department.

— Installation and service must be performed by a qualiﬁed installer, ser-

vice agency or the gas supplier.

WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed

exactly, a ﬁre or explosion may result causing property dam-

age, personal injury or loss of life.

6 RIVA PLUS MANUAL

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

ducing 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.

• Stale or smelly air.

• The presence of soot or carbon in or around the appliance.

• Very high unexplained humidity inside the building.

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 SER-

VICE COMPANY OR THE GAS COMPANY OR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

ONLY QUALIFIED, LICENSED SERVICE CONTRACTORS SHOULD PERFORM WORK

ON YOUR BIASI RIVA PLUS BOILER.

1. General Information

The Riva Plus is a high efﬁciency condensing, wall mounted gas boiler which provides central

heat. The boiler features a gas valve which modulates the energy input from 49,476 BTU/h to

116,008 BTU/h. The boiler is shipped fully assembled with the components listed on page 11.

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.

• Frostprotection-containsan integral frost

protection system to prevent frost dam-

age 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 control-

led system test to ensuring the motorized

components within the boiler do not be-

come inoperable due to lack of use.

• Gas valve modulation - the gas input

modulates based off central heating tem-

perature to within ± 2 ºF

• Diagnostic information system equipped

with three LED diagnostic lights for quick

error assessment.
