purchasing this boiler, you have acquired a product, which is of high quality through the application of
the latest European standards and directives.
1.2 Range of application
The Kabola KB-Series are designed to generate heat for the heating of water and for a central heating
system. The boilers can also be used for the generation of domestic hot water generated by a compact
brazed heat exchanger. The dimensions of the rooms to be heated, have to be taken into consideration.
These boilers are not designed for direct heating of the rooms in which they are installed.
1.3 Product description
The boilers of the KB- series heats the boiler water by means of a pressure jet burner which is installed
at the front of the boiler. The boilers are available in both 230 VAC version. For fuel, diesel oil has to be
used.
1.4 Technical specifications
The most important technical specifications are listed on the plate at the back of the boiler. More

2.2 Safety instructions
In this chapter we emphasis the safety-related points for operating the boiler.
MEASURES FOR A SAFE INSTALLATION
Don't store any flammable and/or gaseous products in the room where the boiler is installed to avoid
explosions and fires.
Install the boiler in a non-humid environment on a firm horizontal base.
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the room where the boiler is installed (See also § 4.1.1).
Make sure, before you start connecting the boiler, that the system is disconnected from the power
supply.
Only use multi-stranded wire for electrical connections.
MEASURES FOR A SAFE OPERATION
Never change the settings of the burner.
Don't use any aggressive solvents which may affect the boiler (like petrol or turpentine).
Insulate the chimney, when it can be touched by body parts.
Make sure that the boiler and burner are checked annually by a skilled expert.
Make sure that before you start any work on the boiler that the system is disconnected from the
power supply.
Make sure that any surplus oil is collected in case of oil spillage.

4 Installing and preparing for first use
In this chapter you will find directions and hints for a correct placement and fitting of the boiler and
accompanying parts.
Warning: Do not store any flammable or gaseous substances in the room where the
boiler installed. This is to ensure that no explosions or fires can occur.
4.1 Installation
4.1.1 Fitting the boiler
Install the boiler in a dry place.
Install the boiler on a firm horizontal base.
Make sure there is sufficient supply of fresh air in the room where the boiler is installed (see hint
below).
To avoid movement secure the base of the boiler by using the holes with M5 threat in the feet from
the boiler (figure 1)
Keep a minimum distance of 250 mm behind the boiler for the flue-gas outlet
Use an earthed plug socket for connecting the 230 Volt AC versions to the power supply.
Hint: As a rule of thumb for the ventilation openings, take 2,5 times the diameter
of the flue gas outlet.

4.1.2 Connection to the KB central heating system
PIPING
Take note of the following points, when installing the piping:
Install the piping in such a way, that the boiler (cover and dashboard) remains accessible;
Provide enough bleeding points in places where air may collect, especially near the boiler.
Attention: Install a bleeding point near the boiler, especially when the piping does not
go up.
Installation KB - CH:
Connect the piping to the boiler as follows (see figure 2 –2.2):
1. Install the feed of the boiler on nr 1
2. Install the return of the boiler on nr 2
3. Install the fill and pressure gauge on nr 4
Hint: Because the water pressure in the domestic water system is not always
stabile, we recommend to use thermostatic controlled water cranes.
It is possible to use the boiler when the domestic water side is not connected

4.1.3 Flue gas outlet
GENERAL
The flue gas outlet is an essential part of your heating installation. An incorrect flue gas outlet reduces
the lifespan of your boiler considerably and has a negative impact on the efficiency. Remember when
installing the flue, that even the best boiler won't work properly unless the flue is properly installed.
Warning: Because the flue gas temperature lies between 150-200°C, it is advisable to
insulate the flue with heat-resistant material on those parts where contact with
human body parts is possible.
For a correct flue gas outlet the following points need to be observed:
Use the proper diameter, use a diameter equal to the diameter of the flue gas outlet on the boiler
(see also technical specification).
Use double-walled chimney pipe outside to prevent a rapid cooling of the exhaust gasses, which
may result in condensation in the chimney.
Hint: When using an existing chimney of a larger diameter than the diameter on the
boiler, you can install flexible piping of the correct diameter insides the
existing chimney.
Warning It is necessary that condensation water always can flow back to the drain of the
boiler, avoid water bags!! The boiler has got a high efficiency, and the burner will
start even when there is no heat demand, this is done to avoid that there is a lot
of condensation in the boiler. Condensation will short the life time of the boiler
