Installation & Servicing 

INSTALLATION

ROUTINE OPERATION

Full instructions covering routine lighting and operation of the 

boiler are given on the Lighting and Operation Instruction Label 

located on the inside of the lower controls door.
Draw the attention of the boiler owner or his representative to 

the Lighting and Operating Instruction Label.  Give a practical 

demonstration of the lighting and shutting down of the boiler. 
Describe the function of the boiler and system controls and 

show how they are adjusted and used.
Hand these Installation and Servicing Instructions, User’s 

Instructions and Log book to the customer and request him 

to keep them in a safe place for ready reference.  For IE, it is 

necessary to complete a “Declaration of Conformity” to indicate 

compliance to the appropriate standard. 

Make the following checks for correct operation.

1. 

The correct operation of ANY secondary system controls 

should be proved.  Operate each control separately and 

check that the main burner or circulating pump, as the case 

may be, responds.

2. 

Water circulation system;

 

a.

  With the system HOT examine all water connections for 

soundness.

 

b.

 With the system still HOT, turn off the gas, water and 

electricity supplies to the boiler and drain down to 

complete the flushing process.

 

c.

  Refill and vent the system, clear all air locks and again 

check for water soundness.

 

d.

 Balance the system. 

3.

  Check the condensate drain for leaks and check it is 

discharging correctly.

4.

  Finally set the controls to the User’s requirements.

Note. 

If an optional programmer kit is fitted then refer to the 

instructions supplied with the kit.

  GENERAL CHECKS

50  HANDING OVER

IMPORTANT.

  Point out to the owner that the boiler must have 

regular maintenance and cleaning, at least annually, in order 

to ensure reliable and efficient operation.  Regular attention 

will also prolong the life of the boiler and should preferably be 

performed at the end of the heating season.
After servicing, complete the service section of the log book 

and return to the owner or their representative.
Recommend that a contract for this work should be made with 

the regional gas authority or a Gas Safe Registered Engineer.  

In IE servicing work must be carried out by a competent 

person.

 SAFETY

It is the law that any service work must be carried out by a Gas 

Safe Registered Engineer.  In IE service work must be carried 

out by a competent person.

WARNING

.  Always turn off the gas supply at the gas 

service cock, and switch off and disconnect the electricity 

supply to the appliance and any external controls before 

servicing or replacing components.

NOTE.

When the burner switch is in the off position the boiler control 

module remains live.

IMPORTANT.

After completing the servicing or replacement of components 

always:

•  Test for gas soundness.

•  Check the water system is correctly filled and free of air.  Air 

in the boiler could cause damage to the heat exchanger.  For 

this reason the automatic air vent in the left top side must 

never be shut off.

•  Check the jacket front panel is correctly fitted, ensuring that a 

good seal is made.  Secure the controls fascia in place.

•  With the system hot examine all water connections for 

soundness.

•  Check the gas rate and measure the combustion CO/

CO

2

 content.  The CO/CO

2

 ratio of the flue gas should not 

be greater than 0.004 ratio & the CO should not exceed 

350ppm.  The CO2 should be as stated in Frame 48.

•  Carry out functional checks as appropriate.
