TO START THE BOILER 

If a programmer is fitted  refer to separate instructions for the 

programmer before continuing.
Start the boiler as follows:

1.

  Check that the electricity supply to boiler is off.

2.

  Set the mode knob (D) to ‘

off

’.

3. 

Set the Domestic Hot Water temperature knob (B) and Central 

Heating temperature knob (C) to ‘

max

’.

4. 

Set the preheat knob (A) to ‘

preheat on

’.

5.

  Ensure that all hot water taps are turned off.

6.

  Switch on electricity to the boiler and check that all external 

controls, e.g. programmer and room thermostat, are on.

7.

  Set the mode knob (D) to ‘ 

 ’ (winter).

The boiler will commence 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.
   Central Heating being supplied

   Domestic hot water being supplied
   Domestic hot water preheat

   Boiler frost protection - boiler will fire if temperature is below 5ºC.

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 (refer to Fault Code page).

OPERATION MODES

Winter Conditions -

 (Central Heating and Domestic Hot Water required)

Set the mode knob (D) ‘ 

 ’ (winter). 

The boiler will fire and supply heat to the radiators but will give 

priority to domestic hot water on demand.
The domestic hot water preheat will operate with the preheat knob 

(A) set to ‘

preheat on

’. 

Summer Conditions - 

(Domestic Hot Water only required)

Set the mode knob (D) to ‘   ’ (summer). 
Set the central heating demand on the external controls to OFF.
The domestic hot water preheat will operate with the preheat knob 

(A) set to ‘

preheat on

’.

Boiler Off

Set the mode knob (D) to ‘

boiler off

’.   The boiler mains power 

supply must be left on to enable frost protection (see Frost 

Protection).

PREHEAT - DOMESTIC HOT WATER

The domestic hot water heat exchanger within the boiler can 

be kept preheated to provide faster delivery of hot water at the 

tap.  This is achieved by turning the ‘preheat on/off’ knob (A) to  

preheat on

’.  

The boiler will operate periodically for a few seconds to maintain 

the domestic hot water heat exchanger in a preheated condition.  

The average time period between operation is 90 minutes.  This 

may vary considerably due to the surrounding ambient temperature 

of the boiler.  The boiler will operate whenever there is a demand 

for domestic hot water. 
If standard hot water delivery is satisfactory turn the knob (A) to 

preheat off

’.

CONTROL OF WATER TEMPERATURE

Domestic Hot Water

The domestic hot water temperature is limited by the boiler 

controls to a maximum temperature of 64

º

C, adjustable via the 

domestic hot water temperature knob (B).
Approximate temperatures for domestic hot water:

Knob Setting

Hot Water Temperature (approx.)

Minimum

40ºC (104ºF)

Maximum

64ºC (147ºF)

Due to system variations and seasonal temperature fluctuations 

domestic hot water flow rates/temperature rise will vary, requiring 

adjustment at the tap : the lower the flow rate the higher the 

temperature, and vice versa.

Central Heating

The boiler controls the central heating radiator temperature to a 

maximum of 80

o

C, adjustable via the central heating temperature 

knob (C).  
Approximate temperatures for central heating:

Knob Setting Central Heating Radiator Temperature (approx.)

Minimum

45ºC (113ºF)

Maximum

80ºC (176ºF)

For economy setting ‘ 

 ’ refer to Efficient Heating System 

Operation.
