CERTIFIED PRODUCT
Manufactured under a BS EN
ISO 9001:1994 Quality
System accepted by BSI
The code of practice for the installation,
commissioning & servicing of central heating systems
British Gas Services
Limited
is a member of the Benchmark
initiative and fully supports the aims of the programme.
Benchmark has been introduced to improve the standards of
installation and commissioning of central heating systems in
the UK and to encourage the regular servicing of all central
heating systems to ensure safety and efficiency.
This boiler is exclusively manufactured for British Gas by Ideal Boilers
Do not fire the boiler if the pressure has reduced to
zero from the original setting.
Condensate Drain
The condensate drain must not be modified or blocked. Blockage
of the condensate drain, caused by debris or freezing, can cause
automatic shutdown of the boiler.
If freezing is suspected and the pipe run is accessible an attempt
may be made to free the obstruction by pouring hot water over the
exposed pipe and clearing any blockage from the end of the pipe. If
this fails to remedy the problem the assistance of a CORGI registered
installer should be sought.
Escape of gas
Should a gas leak or fault be suspected contact your local gas
supplier without delay.
Do NOT search for gas leaks with a naked flame.
Cleaning
For normal cleaning simply dust with a dry cloth. To remove
stubborn marks and stains use a damp cloth and mild detergent. DO
NOT use abrasive cleaning materials.
Maintenance
The appliance should be serviced at least once a year by a
CORGI registered installer.
Frost Protection
If no frost protection is provided and frost is likely during a short
absence from home leave the heating controls (if fitted) at a reduced
temperature setting. For longer periods the entire system should
be drained.
If the system includes a frost thermostat then, during cold weather,
the boiler should be turned OFF at the time switch (if fitted) ONLY.
The mains supply should be left switched ON, with the boiler
thermostat left in the normal running position.
Boiler Overheat Thermostat
This thermostat will shut down the boiler in the event of overheating.
Should this occur a fault code
' '
will be displayed. Press the
reset button (E) and the boiler will relight. If the fault recurs turn off
the boiler and consult a CORGI registered installer.
Flame Failure
Should this occur a fault code will be displayed. Press the reset
button (E) and the boiler will relight. If the fault recurs turn off the
boiler and consult a CORGI registered installer.
Loss of system water pressure
The pressure gauge indicates the central heating system pressure.
If the pressure is seen to fall below the original installation pressure
of 1-2 bar over a period of time then a water leak is indicated. In
this event a CORGI registered installer should be consulted.
