1.2 Operating the Boiler (Fig. 1)
1.2.1 Switching On
• Open the fuel stopcock.
• Switch the boiler’s main switch
1
to
the ON position (the switch lights up).
• Turn the heating water temperatu-
re adjustment knob
3
to set the tem-
perature required for the heating
system.
• Set the ambient temperature using
the ambient thermostat (where fitted).
• When the heating system calls for
heat the heating request light
4
comes on.
• When the burner is operating, the
burner operation light
7
comes on.
Please Note
: When igniting the bur-
ner after the boiler has been out of
use for a long period of time, espe-
cially in the case of LPG boilers,
there may be airlocks in the pipes.
The boiler’s burner may cut-out a
few times. Restart the burner using
the reset button (see the paragraphs
that follow).
1.2.2 Burner Cut-Out
When any functioning faults arise
the boiler’s burner cuts out automa-
tically. The cut-out light (
6
) comes
on. Should this happen proceed as
follows:
• First check the fuel supply, make
sure that the gas stopcock is open
and that the gas mains have gas in
them by lighting a cooking ring in the
kitchen for example.
• Having checked the fuel supply
reset the burner by pushing the
reset button
2
on the control panel: if
the equipment does not restart and
cuts out again, after trying three
times contact an authorised Service
Centre or qualified personnel to
carry out maintenance.
If the burner cuts out frequently this
is a sign that there is an ongoing
operating fault.
Contact qualified
personnel or an authorised Service
Centre for maintenance.
1.2.3 Excess Temperature Cut-Out
Should the red cut-out light indica-
ting excess temperature 5 come on,
this means that the safety thermo-
stat cut-out has tripped and must be
reset manually. This is due to an
operating fault and an authorised
Service Centre or qualified person-
nel must be contacted for mainte-
nance.
1.2.4 Cut-Out due to a fault in the
smoke flue and/or the air intake
Should any conditions occur that
give rise to a fault in the functioning
of the air intake and flue pipes, the
boiler goes into stand-by mode.
It remains in this mode until correct
operating conditions are reinstated.
WARNING
To solve this problem qualified
personnel must be called in or an
authorised Service Centre must
be contacted to carry out mainte-
nance work on the equipment.
1.3 Maintenance
The user is obliged to have routine
maintenance done on the boiler and
the burner once a year.
Correct maintenance of the boiler
allows it to work under the best con-
ditions, protects the environment,
and makes the equipment fully safe
for people, animals, or property.
The boiler must be maintained by
qualified personnel.
The user may only clean the
bodywork on the boiler, and this
must be done using products for
cleaning furniture.
Do not use water!
