regulators.
10.11.1 Factory setting
b
 Caution!
An incorrect gas group setting can cause 
operating faults or a reduction in the 
working life of the boiler.
If the boiler version does not correspond to 
the local gas group, there will be malfunc-
tions or you have to change components of 
the boiler ahead of schedule, e. g. do not 
use a LPG boiler on natural gas.
 > Before starting up the boiler compare 
the details of the gas group specified on 
the identification plate with the gas 
group supplied at the installation site.
If the boiler version corresponds to the local gas

  If a gas conversion to liquid gas has been carried 
out by Vaillant Service Solutions, the smallest 
possible partial load is higher than is shown in 
the display. The current values can be found in 
the technical data (¬section17).
The combustion of this boiler has been checked, adjusted 
and preset at the factory for operation on the gas group 
defined on the identification plate. No measurement of the 
combustion is necessary to set up the boiler.
Do not adjust the gas valve. 
 > Ensure 
 – that the boiler has been installed in accordance with 
these instructions,
 – the integrity of the flue system and the flue seals, as 
described in the ¬flue installation instructions 
enclosed with this boiler, and as described below,
 – a visual check is carried out on the boiler combustion 
circuit and the relevant seals,
 – that any defects have been corrected at this stage.
To further validate the integrity of the flue system and con-
firm correct operation of the boiler it is possible to conduct
