Appliance Introduction
Introduction
The Glow-worm Hideaway C FF series are fanned flue boilers
with a chimney flue adapter. They provide heating and if
required, an indirect domestic hot water supply.
The boiler is of the
I
2H
category for use only with
Natural Gas
(G20)
as distributed in the United Kingdom and Ireland and
cannot be used on any other gas.
The boiler is automatic in operation, having only one user
control, the boiler temperature control.
The installation of this boiler must be carried out by a
competent
person
in accordance with the rules in force in the countries of
destination.
Manufacturer’s instructions must not be taken as overriding
statutory requirements.
These instructions should be carefully followed for the safe and
economical use of your boiler.
NOTE:
The boiler serial number is marked on the data label
attached to the heat shield under the control box. The
'Instructions for Use' section describes how to safely use the
boiler.
Appliance Safety Devices
Air flow rate safety device
If the flue is obstructed the built in safety system will turn the
boiler OFF. The boiler will be ready to operate when the fault has
been cleared.
Electrical supply failure
The boiler will not operate without an electrical supply. Normal
operation of the boiler should resume when the electrical supply
is restored.
Reset any central heating system controls, to resume normal
operation.
If the boiler does not resume normal operation it is advisable to
consult your installation / servicing company.
Protection Against Freezing
In this boiler there is a built- in frost protection which will cause
the boiler, when it is switched off at the control knob, to operate
in the event of the water temperature in the boiler dropping
below 5
o
C. The boiler will switch off again when the temperature
of the water in the boiler reaches about 13
o
C. This will only
protect the central heating system if the external controls are set
so that the pump runs continuously, that is they are calling for
heat.
NOTE:
The frost protection will not operate if the electrical
supply is turned off.
If the boiler is to be out of use for any period of time during severe
weather conditions we recommend that the whole of the system
including the boiler, be drained off to avoid the risk of freezing up.
If an immersion heater is fitted to the hot water cylinder make
sure it is switched off.
WARNING:
Do not operate the boiler without water.
If in doubt, consult your servicing company.
