100mm (4”

) below, 

2.5mm (1/8”

) at the sides and 

450mm (17 3/4

”) at the front of 

the boiler casing must be allowed for servicing.

Bottom clearance

Bottom clearance after installation can be reduced to 5mm. 
This must be obtained with an easily removable panel, to 

enable the consumer to view the system pressure gauge, and 

to provide the 100mm clearance required for servicing.

To light the boiler. refer to Frame 1

1.

  CHECK THAT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY TO BOILER IS 

OFF.

2.

  Set the mains mode knob control (D) to ‘Off’.

3. 

Set the Domestic Hot Water temperature control (B) and 

Central Heating temperature control (C) to ‘max’.

4. 

Set the preheat control (A) to ‘on’.

5.

  Ensure that all hot water taps are turned off.

6.

  Switch ON electricity to the boiler and check that all 

controls, e.g. timer and room thermostat, are ON (refer to 

mechanical timer instructions - Page 4).

7.

  Set the mode knob control to winter (   ).

The boiler will commence the ignition sequence, first supplying 

heat to preheat the domestic hot water and then to the central 

heating, if required.

Note. 

In normal operation the boiler status display (E) will 

show  codes:

 

 

Standby - no demand for heat.      

 

CH being supplied.

 

DHW being supplied.                     

 

DHW preheat.

 

Boiler frost protection  - boiler will fire if temperature is 

below 5 degrees C.

During normal operation the burner on indicator (F) will remain 

illuminated when the burner is lit.

Note:  If the boiler fails to light after five attempts the fault code 

 will be displayed.

REsET pROCEDURE

To reset boiler, turn the mode control knob (D) to reset position

Gas Installer (RGII).

Introduction

The 

Independent 

is a wall mounted, room sealed, condensing 

combination boiler, featuring full sequence automatic spark ignition 

and fan assisted combustion.

Due to the high efficiency of the boiler, condensate is produced from 

the flue gases and this is drained to a suitable disposal point through 

a plastic waste pipe at the base of the boiler.  A condensate ‘plume’ 

will also be visible at the flue terminal.

The 

Independent 

is a combination boiler providing both central 

heating and instantaneous domestic hot water.
