IT IS A ST
ATUTORY REQUIREMENT THAT ALL GAS
APPLIANCES ARE INSTALLED BY COMPETENT PERSONS,
(i.e. CORGI REGISTERED INSTALLERS) IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE)
REGULATIONS (CURRENT EDITION).
F
AILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE REGULATIONS MAY
LEAD TO PROSECUTION.
These appliances have been tested and cer
tified in order to
satisfy the necessary European Directives and comply with the
latest Building Regulations, including the efficiency requirements
of the SEDBUK scheme.
Gas Appliance Directive
90/396/EEC
Efficiency of Hot Water Boilers Directive
92/42/EEC
Low Voltage Directive
93/68/EEC
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
92/31/EEC
No modifications to these appliances should be made unless they
are fully approved by the manufacturer.
Appliance installation must be carried out by a competent person
and must be in accordance with the current legislation in force at
the time of installation, in the country of destination.
The manufacturer's instructions must not be taken as overriding

Maxol products are manufactured in accordance with ISO 9000
and do not, and will not, contain any hazardous materials or
substances such as asbestos, mercury or C.F.C.s.

If you have a histor
y of skin complaint you may
be susceptible to irritation. High dust levels are usual only if the
material is broken. Some people can suffer reddening and itching
of the skin. Fibre entry in to the eye will cause foreign body
irritation, which can cause severe irritation to people wearing
contact lenses. Irritation to respiratory tract.
Pr
ecautions –
Dust goggles will pr
otect eyes. People with a history
of skin complaints may be particularly susceptible to irritation.
High dust levels are only likely to arise following harsh abrasion.
In general, normal handling and use will not present high risk,
follow good hygiene practices, wash hands before touching eyes,
eating, drinking or using the toilet.
First aid –
If you do suf
fer irritation to the eyes or severe irritation
to the skin seek medical attention.

The appliance incorporates a microprocessor based safety
system, called DICOM (Digital Combustion) that consists of the
boilers main PCB, the gas control valve (CES) and the air
pressure switch for controlling and regulation of the modulating
atmospheric gas burner with fan. It has direct burner ignition,
which provides a modulated heat output to either central heating
(CH) or domestic hot water (DHW) demands, and with internal
frost protection provided as standard. The appliance incorporates
a domestic hot water (DHW) pre-heat feature which can
automatically adjust to the user’s habitual requirements. Thus
during long stand still periods, e.g. overnight, no pre-heat is
provided.
The appliance is designed for use with sealed primary water
systems and incorporates a circulating pump, diverter valve
assembly, pressure gauge, flow switch, safety valve and system
expansion vessel. A separate DHW expansion vessel is not
required. Isolation valves are fitted to the service connections and
an automatic heating by-pass is fitted to maintain an adequate
flow rate through the boiler.
The appliance has a DHW flow detection device, which gives
priority to DHW demand and proportions the required heating
load to the DHW flow rate, an electro-mechanical 24 hour time
clock is also fitted as standard.
The appliances may be used with any certified mains voltage
room thermostat, and can operate without the need for an
automatic bypass valve in the CH circuit. However, it is
recommended that one radiator in the room where the room
thermostat is fitted, is installed without thermostatic radiator valves
to allow the pump overrun facility to operate correctly. A separate
CH expansion vessel is not required if the total CH system content
is less than 84 litres, but one is required for systems with volumes
greater than 84 litres; refer to section 3.7. A separate DHW
expansion vessel is not required.
It is recommended that a drain cock is fitted at the lowest point in
the system.
