12.11 LPG CONVERSION - all models

NOTE

: Steps 12.1 and 12.3 will need to be completed before 

the appliance can be converted.
This conversion should only be carried out by a 

competent 

person.

During the conversion to Propane use of a suitable flue gas 

analyser is necessary.
As an option a chargeable boiler only commissioning service 

can be provided by Glow-worm Service by calling telephone 

No. 01773 828100.
Tools required to make the conversion are a 2mm Allen key 

and an electricians screwdriver.
Ensure that the appliance supply pressure = 37mbar.
(1)   Access the gas  valve. 
(2)   Refer to diagram 12.5 and turn the gas valve throttle  

 

fully clockwise.

(3)   Turn the throttle anti-clockwise by the number of    

 

turns shown in the table.

(4)   Ensure that the gas analyser is set to the correct fuel  

 

setting - Propane.

(5)   Attach combustion analyser to the combustion test   

 

point, refer diagram 13.9.

 

IMPORTANT:

  Remember to replace the cap on    

 

completion of the test.

(6)    Turn on the mains electrical supply and turn on the gas      

 

service isolation valve. Switch the boiler on.

(7)   Ensure external controls are calling for heat (i.e,    

 

generate a hot water demand by fully opening a hot  

 

water tap. The boiler should fire automatically.

 

NOTE

: If the appliance does not light & goes to lockout  

 

(F1) turn the throttle anti-clockwise a further turn and  

 

press the reset button. The appliance will (after  

 

 

a short delay) again attempt to fire. Repeat this  

 

 

procedure (up to a total of 2 extra turns on the throttle  

 

screw) until the appliance lights. PLEASE NOTE several  

 

ignition attempts may be needed, to purge gas through  

 

the appliance, before a successful ignition is achieved. 

(8)    Check and adjust the burner 

%CO

2  

at maximum rate.

 

Press the “reset” button on the controls fascia, release  

 

and immediately press and hold in the “+” button.    

 

After approximately 5 seconds “Hi” will be    

 

 

displayed. Pressing the mode button when “Hi” is    

 

selected will force the boiler to maximum rate,  

 

 

the display will flash between “Hi” and the    

 

 

“default display” this will indicate the boiler has been  

 

forced to maximum.

(9)    

Adjust, if necessary, the burner % CO

2

 to the value  

 

shown in the “SETTING” column of the table, with the  

 

throttle screw, see diagram 12.5(rotate anti-clockwise to  

 

increase).

(10) 

To exit the check sequences press the “mode” and “+”  

 

buttons simultaneously, this will reset the boiler to the  

 

default display.

(11)  

Check the burner % CO

2

 , at minimum rate, to the value  

 

shown in the “SETTING” column of the table.

(12) 

If adjustment is required, press the “reset” button on 

 

the controls fascia, release and immediately press and  

 

hold in the “+” button. After approximately 5 seconds  

 

“Hi” will be displayed. Pressing the “+” or “-” buttons  

 

will cycle between “Hi” and “Lo”. Pressing the mode  

 

button when “Lo” is selected will force the boiler to  

 

minimum rate, the display will flash between “Lo” and  

 

the “default display” this willindicate the boiler has been  

 

forced to minimum.

 to the value shown in the “SETTING”  

 

column of the table with the offset adjustment, see   

 

diagram 12.5 and %CO

Table (Rotate clockwise to  

 

increase).

(14) 

To exit the function press the “mode” and “+” buttons

 at maximum rate - adjust if  

 

necessary.

 

Please remember after finishing this procedure to turn  

 

off the hot water tap.

(

16)  Remove analyser probe from the test point and replace  

 

the cap. Refit the control panel.

(17)  

IMPORTANT

:  

Fit the LPG conversion label supplied  

 

in the documentation pack to the inner front panel           

 

alongside the data label. Refit the inner door and  

 

outer door.
