For your Safety
1. This appliance must have been installed in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions and the regulations in force.
2. Any modification that may interfere with the normal
operation of the appliance without express written permission
from the manufacturer or his agent could invalidate the
appliance warranty. In GB this could also infringe the Gas
Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations.
3. Your boiler must not be operated without the casing
correctly fitted.
4. Do not interfere with any sealed components on this boiler.
5. Take note of any warning labels on your boiler.
6. Your boiler should have the following minimum clearances
for Safety and Maintenance (Figs. 1 & 2):-

- 125mm
Bottom
- 130mm
Left side
- 5mm
Right Side

7. If your boiler is installed in a compartment, do not use it for
storage purposes. Do not obstruct any purpose provided
ventilation openings.
8. Flammable materials must not be stored in close proximity
to your boiler.
9. Avoid skin contact when your boiler is in operation, as some
surfaces may get hot e.g. pipework.
10. Ensure that the flue terminal, outside the house, does not
become damaged or obstructed, particularly by foliage.
11. It is important that the condensate drain system is not
blocked, modified or damaged in any way as this would affect
the operation of your boiler. Your installer should have
insulated any exposed pipework.
3.2
Cleaning the Outercase
The painted panels should be wiped with a damp cloth and
then dried completely. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
3.3
Boiler Protection
The protection systems listed below will always be working
whilst the gas and electricity supplies to the boiler are on.
1. To ensure the boiler is protected during very cold
conditions a frost protection feature is built in to the boiler. If
the boiler temperature falls below 4°C the boiler will fire until
a temperature of 15°C is reached.
2. The boiler incorporates a built in pump protection feature
which continually monitors the time since the pump last
operated. The pump will run for around 2 minutes if it has not
run in the last 24 hours. This may occur during the night when
your heating controls are set to off.
3. The boiler is fitted with a safety thermostat to protect
against overheating of the water. If this thermostat operates
the boiler will lockout and the ‘Lockout’ (Red) light will flash
once a second. The boiler will require resetting before it will
re-light.
4. A frost thermostat may have been fitted to your system.
Your installer will have advised you of this.
