Introduction

WARNING.  It is important that the case (not the controls tray)
is not disturbed or removed other than for servicing by a
competent person.

Please read these instructions and follow them carefully for the
safe and economical use of your boiler.

The Ultimate FF series are fanned flue boilers designed to
provide central heating and indirect domestic hot water.

The boiler is fully automatic in operation having only one user
control, the control thermostat.

Important Notice

This boiler is for use only on natural gas (G20).

The Gas Safety (Installation and Use)
Regulations

In your interest and that of gas safety it is the law that ALL gas
appliances are installed by a competent person in accordance
with the above regulations.

Gas Leak or Fault

If a gas leak or fault exists or is suspected, the boiler must be
turned off, including the electrical supply and must not be used
until the fault has been put right.

Advice/help should be obtained from your installation/servicing
company or the local gas undertaking.

Electrical Supply Failure

Failure of the electrical supply will cause the burner to go out.
Should this occur, operation of the appliance will normally
resume after the electrical supply is restored.

If the boiler does not relight after an electrical supply failure the
overheat safety cutoff device may need resetting, remove the
controls cover and press the reset button, refer to diagram 1.

Overheat Safety Cutoff

If the overheat safety cutoff device operates on any other
occasion than an electrical supply failure, press the reset button
as in “Electrical Supply Failure”.  If the overheat operates again,
turn the appliance off and contact your installation/servicing
company.
