USER INSTRUCTIONS

1. General

Unlike  other  system  boilers  such  as  Gas,  Oil  and  Propane  the 

FUSION ‘Comet’ range of electric boilers require no ignition or 

lighting sequence to be executed by the end user. All the end user 

is required to do is ensure that the system is filled with water and 

the room thermostat or programmer is calling for heat.

2. Boiler Operation

2.1 Switch the boiler on by pressing the 

 button. (Note: When 

switching the boiler off use the same 

 button by pressing 

and holding it in for 3 seconds.)

2.2 The recommended Water Pressure is approx 1.0/1.5 bar and 

this can be checked by pressing the 

 button until indicator 

A is illuminated. The water pressure can be adjusted by con-

necting the external filling loop and pressurizing to the desired 

pressure. Note: the filling loop must be disconnected after the 

system has been re -pressurized.

2.3 First set the required Boiler Temperature (we recommend a 

setting of 65 

0

C) by pressing the 

 button until only indicators 

D and K are illuminated. Press the 

 button or the 

 button 

until the desired temperature setting is achieved. 

2.4 Ensure the room thermostat is switched on and is calling for 

heat.  If  the  boiler  is  not  yet  at  the  desired  heat  setting  then 

indicators D, G, H, I, J & K will be illuminated with indictor K 

illuminated in red. Once the room has reached the required 

setting the K indicator should change from red to green. Refer 

to the Control Panel diagram above to learn how to adjust to 

the right temperature to make the boiler work comfortably and 

economically.

2.5 The boiler Flow Rate is set at 8 l/min during the installation 

of the boiler. To check this setting then press the 

 button a 

number of times until only indicator B is illuminated and then 

read the figure on the digital display. If the figure is well below 

the 8 l/min figure then call a Service Engineer for assistance.  

2.6 To check the amount of kW energy being used by the boiler at 

any point in time then press the 

 button a number of times 

until only indicator C is illuminated and then read the figure 

on the digital display. 

2.7 When indicator H is illuminated the pump is running 

3. Temperature Setting

We recommend the boiler temperature be set to 65

0

C. Raise or 

lower  the  temperature  in  your  installation  with  the  buttons  on 

the right hand side of the control panel as per 2.3 in the previous 

section.

    

ATTENTION:  Should the temperature on the front panel be set 

too low the desired room temperature may not be achieved.’

4. Summer Setting. (‘Stand by’ Mode)

The  customer  has  the  option  to  switch  the  boiler  onto  ‘stand-

by’ mode during summer months and this can be carried out by 

pressing the 

 “button and holding this in for 3 seconds.’

All indicators will go off except the F indicator which will inter-

mittently illuminate.  

IMPORTANT  -  DO  NOT  SWITCH  THE  BOILER  OFF  AT  THE 

MAINS SWITCH  

In the ‘stand-by’ mode all the boiler functions are switched off ex-

cept the circulation pump. This is activated for 15 minutes each 

day which protects the boiler and the whole central heating sys-

tem from being blocked and silted up.  In this ‘stand by’ mode the 

circulation pump will run each day at the same time. (e.g. If you 

switch the boiler to ‘stand by’ at 6pm then the circulation pump 

will run every day at 6pm for 15 minutes) To return to a ‘Winter’ 

mode  setting  then  press  and  hold  the 

  button  for  3  seconds 

again.

5. Winter mode

In the Winter mode setting the digital display will be active and 

will show the temperature of the water at various points within 

the boiler. Those indicators which are illuminated will show the 

current status of the boiler. If the boiler is being called for heat 

by the thermostat then the G, H, I, J & K indicators will be illumi-

nated. In the winter mode both the two port valves are active and 

they will direct heat as required.

Note:  When  in  diagnostic  mode  of  the  Display  (i.e.  using  the 

arrow  buttons),  and  there  has  been  no  activity  (i.e.  buttons 

pressed)  for  60  seconds  the  Display  will  revert  to  its  normal 

mode.
