A check list (Pre-lighting Checks) appears in the Operating Instructions, but in addition to this the installer 
should: 

 

Operate the heating system and set the pump head. 

 

Balance the radiators. 

 

Re-vent and ensure no air locks. 

 

Check the circulation round the primary system and the heat leak radiator, particularly when the 
pump is running, to ensure circulation is not reversed. 

 

Be sure that the chimney is operating and that ALL smoke and fumes are vented to the atmosphere 
through the chimney terminal. 

 

Check all joints and seals. 

 

Clean the outside of the appliance to prevent any stains becoming burnt on. 

 

Check the flue draught which should read 1 - 2mm, or 0.1 - 0.2mbar.
