COMMISSIONING
Important:
- If this procedure is not carried out properly, the boiler
will go into safety lock-out until all of the air has been
purged.
- When venting air from boiler, do not touch the
schrader valve on the expansion vessel, it is NOT a
vent.
- Before starting the boiler, turn the pump impellor to
make sure it is free to move.
• Unscrew black cap on front of pump.
• Using screwdriver, push in pump spindle and turn
pump impellor 3 to 4 times. DO NOT HIT SPINDLE. Re-
place black cap.
Starting the boiler
Before starting the boiler check that:
- The gas meter tap is open. If using Butane or Pro-
pane, check that valve on storage cylinder or tank is
open.
- you have removed the two fan transist clips from fan.
Ins 017a
The commissioning and first firing of the boiler must
only be done by a competent person.
Gas installation
It is recommended that any air is purged from the
supply at the gas inlet test point on the left hand
side of the gas valve,
see
diagram 20.
- The boiler gas service cock is open.
- The boiler is connected to the electrical supply and
switched on.
- The front casing is fitted.
First starting up
• Following the instructions given in the '
User Instruc-
tions'
set boiler to run in central heating mode.
• Set boiler thermostat for maximum temperature
and check that any external controls, if fitted, are
calling for heat.
• Allow the temperature to rise to the maximum
value, with all radiator valves open.
The temperature rise will cause release of the gases
contained in the water of central heating system.
- Gases driven towards the boiler will be automati-
cally released through the automatic air vents.
- Gases trapped at the highest point of the system
must be released by bleeding the radiators.
