BOILER CONTROLS

BOILER THERMOSTAT

This dial, located on the boiler control panel, allows the 

temperature of the water leaving the boiler to heat the radiators 

(and/or other heat emmiters if fitted) and domestic hot water to be 

adjusted. 
The boiler control panel is within the boiler casing, on the lower 

right hand side. The front casing door must be removed in order 

to access the control panel (refer to Section 1.2). See Figure 2-1 

for the details of the control panel.

! NOTE !

If you have a cylinder thermostat on your hot water 

cylinder, this will control the temperature of your domestic 

hot water. 

The boiler thermostat setting must be equal to or greater 

than the cylinder thermostat setting to enable the cylinder 

thermostat to control the domestic hot water system.

OVERHEAT THERMOSTAT

Your boiler is fitted with a safety overheat thermostat which 

will automatically switch off the boiler in the case of a control 

malfunction causing overheating. 

If your boiler goes off and you try to light it but nothing happens 

and the ‘Lock-Out’ reset button on the burner is not lit, the 

overheat thermostat has probably operated. The boiler will not 

light until the overheat thermostat is reset. 
To reset the overheat thermostat, unscrew the small plastic cap 

marked “overheat reset” (see Figure 2-1), press the button and 

replace the cap.
If this condition continually repeats, contact your service enigneer.

TEST SWITCH

A test switch is fitted to the control panel (see Figure 2-1) to 

allow the Service Engineer to test-fire the boiler without requiring 

access to the inside of the property.
It does this by overriding the heating system controls (see Section 

2.6) for a short period of time, before automatically switching off 

and allowing the boiler to be controlled by the heating system 

controls again.

! NOTE !

The mains power supply still needs to be switched on for 

the test switch to work.

 

2.6 

HEATING SYSTEM CONTROLS

PROGRAMMER (IF FITTED)

If a programmer is fitted, it will control the times that the boiler 

heats the central heating system and hot water cylinder (if fitted).

Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with your 

programmer for further details.

ROOM THERMOSTAT

This thermostat allows you to control the room temperature at 

which the boiler will fire to provide central heating to your property.

The room thermostat is usually located in a downstairs area such 

as a hallway or living area.
If your heating system is ‘zoned’ you will have more than one 

room thermostat, with each thermostat controlling the temperature 

of a separate heating zone.

! NOTE !

For your boiler to operate to provide you with heating, 

the programmer (or timer) must be in an ‘ON’ period for 

heating AND the room thermostat must be ‘calling’ for heat.

CYLINDER THERMOSTAT

This thermostat controls the temperature of the water in your hot 

water cylinder (if fitted), as long as your cylinder is being heated 

by the boiler.
When the water temperature in the cylinder is below the 

thermostat set temperature, it will ‘call’ for the boiler to operate to 

heat your hot water.

! NOTE !

For your boiler to operate to provide heat to your hot water 

cylinder, the programmer (or timer) must be in an ‘ON’ 

period for hot water AND the cylinder thermostat must be 

‘calling’ for heat.

THERMOSTATIC RADIATOR VALVES

Your heating system may also include Thermostatic Radiator 

Valves (or TRVs). If you have them, they will be fitted on some or 

all of your heating system radiators. 
A TRV is a self-regulating valve, i.e. not connected to the 

other heating system controls, such as a programmer or room 

thermostat, and is designed to regulate the temperature in the 

room in which it is situated. 
A TRV senses the air temperature around it and controls the 

water flow to the radiator on which it is fitted to regulate its heat 

output to the room. The head of the TRV can be rotated to set it to 

give the required room temperature. Once correctly set, it should 

ideally be left in that position and not used as an on/off control for 

the radiator.
As the correct operation of a TRV is based on it sensing the air 

temperature of the room it is fitted in, take care not to cover the 

TRV head (with curtains, furniture etc). 
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with any TRVs 

fitted to your heating system for further details.

2.7 

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY

The boiler requires a 230/240 V AC 50 Hz supply. It must be 

protected by a 5 Amp fuse.

! WARNING !

The electrical connections to the boiler must be earthed.
