User Instructions
Flue Terminal
The flue terminal on the outside wall
must not
be obstructed or damaged.
In severe conditions check that the
terminal does not become blocked by
snow.
Frost Protection
Your Installer may have fitted a frost
thermostat. If not, and you are likely to
be away for a short time, leave the boiler
on with the boiler thermostat set at a low
setting. For longer periods the boiler and
system should be drained.
Contact your Service engineer for
draining and filling the system.
Cleaning and Servicing
Lightly wipe over the case with a damp
cloth and a little detergent. Do not use
abrasive pads or cleaners.
You must have your boiler serviced at
least once a year to ensure safe and
efficient operation. Contact your Service
engineer for further details.
Failure of Electricity Supply
If the electricity supply fails, the boiler
will not operate. It should relight
automatically when the supply is
restored.
If a programmer is fitted it will retain the
time settings for up to 24 hours and will
not have to be reset to the correct time
of day when the supply is restored (the
display remains for up to 1 hour, but will
re-appear when the supply is restored).
Electricity Supply
The boiler requires a 230/240 V ~ 50 Hz
supply. It must be protected by a 5 Amp
fuse.
The electricity connections to the
boiler must be earthed.
Sealed Central Heating System
If your boiler is operating on a sealed
heating system, the installer will have
pressurised the system and should
have told you (or set it on the pressure
gauge) the system pressure when cold
(this is normally between 0.5 and 1.0
bar, which will increase slightly when
hot). If the pressure (when cold) is below
the set pressure mentioned above, you
can re-pressurise the system. If this is
frequently required, ask your Installer or
Service engineer to check the heating
system for leaks and to check the
expansion vessel air charge.
The boiler or system will be fitted with an
automatic air vent to remove air from the
system. Any air trapped in the radiators
should be removed by venting the
radiators using the vent screw at the top
of each radiator. Only vent a radiator if
the top is cool and the bottom is hot.
Excessive venting will reduce the system
pressure, so only vent when necessary
and check the system pressure as
mentioned above.
Re-pressurise the system if necessary.
The sealed system is fitted with
a safety valve to release excess
pressure from the system. If water or
steam is emitted from the end of the
safety valve discharge pipe, switch off
the boiler and contact your Installer or
Service engineer.
To re-pressurise the system by adding
water:
1.
Only add water to the system when
it is cold and the boiler is off. Do not
overfill.
2.
Ensure the flexible filling loop (see
Figure 3) is connected and that the
shut off valve connecting it to the
boiler is open and the double check
valve at the front is closed. (A valve
is open when the operating lever is in
line with the valve, and closed when
it is at right angles to it).
3.
Gradually open the double check
valve on the front of the filling loop
until water is heard to flow. When the
black needle of the pressure gauge
is between 0.5 and 1 bar, close the
valve.
4.
Vent each radiator in turn, starting
with the lowest one in the system, to
remove air.
5.
Continue to fill the system until the
pressure gauge indicates between
0.5 and 1.0 bar. Close the fill point
valve.
6.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 as required.
7.
Close the valves either side of the
filling loop and disconnect the loop.
