A friend of mine installed a Ferroli boiler at a property he owns and was tearing his hair out, trying to find the Ferroli time clock instructions.
The sales pitch was good: 5 year guarantee, good price, that kind of thing.
What was missed though was that the built-in time clock wasn’t mentioned in the manual. Or even as an afterthought leaflet with the boiler. No instructions, just guesswork…
Setting the Ferroli time clock…
No problem – a quick search on the internet was bound to turn something up we thought.
Hmmm, think again.
Just lots of people with the same problem.
So, after nearly 30 minutes on hold to Ferroli’s premium rate 0871 phone number (fortunately translated by SayNoTo0870 to 01283 714800) he finally got through to technical support.
“Can I download the instructions from your website?” my friend asked?
“No” came the reply.
“But we can email them to you”.
To save you from wasting half an hour of your life on hold, you can download the Ferroli Time Clock instructions from the link below:

At last. Thanks a bunch, just what I was looking for.
Well done for doing this – this saved us a lot of time!! 🙂
Yes! Nice one!
Thanks a lot. I’ve been looking for this for some time. Very helpful.
thanks
Cheers mate, this is an absolute nightmare to try to figure out.
Will send this link to Ferroli. Perhaps they could re-write their instruction manual? Thanks for doing the woork.
Thanks for the link, saved me a few hours searching for instructions. So much easier to use with them too!!
Thank you so much…I’ve spent ages pushing all the buttons trying to work out what it was doing – even the plumber didn’t know! Ferroli need to sort this out!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! don’t know why this isn’t at the top pf the search list for F28 timer. daughter moving to student house and we could not figure it out.
Thank you ,thank you thank you!!!I though I was stupid ,nice to know its not me,Ferroli need to get there act toghther!!Cheers
You’re an absolute star – just moved into a flat with a Ferroli boiler and we were tearing our hair out too.
Gawd bless the internet
T
Fantastic – thankyou so much!!
Thanks so much for this. Moved into a flat with no manual and have been going crazy trying to set the timer! Found a manual online that doesn’t include this which makes no sense, so thanks for saving my sanity.
how do u turn the timers off?
Hi Omar
It’s all in the PDF – look in the Operating Mode section.
You ae a star – I have had my boiler for a year and couldn’t programme it for my requirements – a very big thank you – THANK YOU
Thanks, I’ve spent many hours trying to work out how the clock works….and I thought I was ok with stuff like this. If I had had hair I would have pulled it out by now anyway.
Just spent an hour trying to find instructions – thank you so much – I can finally set the timer
Thanks very much had the same problem with ferroli on the phone had my boiler over two months winter setting in now i can wake up to a warm house thanks a million.
Thank you so much!!! Ferroli are absolutely useless! Have been regretting buying this boiler since the day I did but at least now I can time the bloody thing.
thanks for sharing you are the legend
Top man, great post, nightmare trying to get anything off Ferroli !!! Saved me loads of time, got a happy customer, thanks.
Brilliant! The heating had stopped working at my handicapped brother-in-laws flat – and just couldn’t work out what was happening. The manual was useless – and had nothing about the timer. Really appreciate you posting this and letting us get things back up and running. Big thanks. O
What a megastar-thank you for sharing this with us all,just like everyone else found the manual useless,good clear instructions from yourself ,once again a massive thanks.PS..I see from your listing that all Ferroli owners have been in the same boat.
Well done and many thanks. You do have to wonder at Ferolli’s massive indifference, They’ve sold us the boiler so tough.
had a f28 installed last year 2 year warranty only applicable if you have the boiler serviced after 12 months otherwise no repair but they will send a service engineer out at £130 call out/hour plus vat plus parts and you cannot get the programmer instructions from ferroli manual.Thanks for instructions and assistance that ferroli would provide but at a price.
Thank you thank you thank you. Just had a ferroli boiler fitted, and the instructions well might as well have been in Italian! and of course we could not find the programmer information either so fantastic that you have done the job for me. Best wishes 🙂
Great job, thanks for saving us all time… if only the company would learn and put it on their website!
Thank you!
brilliant help. very useful :))
Having spent hours trying to work out how to set the timer, I found your web link and downloaded the instruction manual. The clock was set within 10mins (amazing, I only wish i’d found it sooner. Thank You, you have saved me from having more cold mornings.
simple when you know how!! Thanks for this it’s been a great help, i’ve pressed a fiddled for months Wake up ferroli and put it in the instructions.
A year with this boiler and finally it works! i did have instructions but they were very poorly worded. Thanks!!!!!
Two years on & they’re still shippping this thing without these instructions – why?
Thanks for the info.
Thank-you so much for the info, a life-saver what a nightmare system with no instructions. Thanks again
THANKS FOR THE DOCS. BRILLIANT. STILL NO INSTRUCTIONS SENT WITH BOILER.
Brilliant, I have had this boiler for three years and spent hours trying to find this information. Just spent 24 hours with no heating – now its up and running again.Thanks so much!
Thanks a lot. Why we cannot get this information from the Ferroli web site is beyond understanding! Many thanks
you are amazing!!!!
Thank you so much, Now I will not be freezing in the morning!
Thanks a lot,has saved a lot of time and hassle.
Many Thanks
what a top bloke – after trying everywhere to find this document this god of a man has the sense ferroli employees dont have along with no manners , total non after sales service etc etc etc !!!! thanks again .
Thank you so much – had the boiler for 6 months and couldn’t work out how to work it – so stressful!!!! You are wonderful!!!! Finally got it going!!!
Many thanks for this. We have the (brief) instruction leaflet which came with the boiler and the manual but still found the directions totally mindbending to follow! Your leaflet will help us get to grips properly with this confusing timer control.
I have just bought Ferroli i could not believe it when the fitter said that i would have to go on line to find out how to use the clock on the boiler, unbelievable thank heavens i found you. Thank you for saving me a load of grief and time and money
What a star you are! Thank you so much! (How can manufacturers be so stupid??) Best wishes, John
