16. HANDING
OVER
16.1
Hand the User Instructions to the householder and explain their responsibilities under the relevant national
regulations.
16.2
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have supervision or been given instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
16.3
Explain and demonstrate the lighting and shutting down procedures.
16.4
The operation of the boiler and the use and adjustment of all system controls should be fully explained to the
householder, to ensure the greatest possible fuel economy consistent with the household requirements of both
heating and hot water consumption. Advise the User of the precautions necessary to prevent damage to the
system and to the building, in the event of the system remaining inoperative during frosty conditions.
16.5
Explain the function and the use of the boiler heating and domestic hot water controls. Explain that due to system
variations and seasonal temperature fluctuations DHW flow rates/temperature rise will vary. This requires adjustment
at the draw off tap. It is therefore necessary to show the User the relevant section in the Users Instructions and say
the following statement. “Additionally, the temperature can be controlled by the user via the draw-off tap, the lower
the rate the higher the temperature, and vice versa”.
16.6
Explain the function of the boiler fault codes. Emphasise that if a fault is indicated refer to “Fault Codes” in the User
Guide.
16.7
Explain and demonstrate the function of time and temperature controls, radiator valves etc., for the economic use
of the system.
16.8
If a timer is fitted draw attention to the timer Users Instructions.
16.9
LOSS OF SYSTEM WATER PRESSURE
- Explain that the dial underneath the boiler indicates the central heating
system pressure and that if the normal COLD pressure of the system is seen to decrease over a period of time then
a water leak is indicated. Explain the re-pressurising procedure and if unable to re-pressurise or if the pressure
continues to drop a registered local heating installer should be consulted.
16.10
Explain Boiler reset procedure.
16.11 After installation and commissioning please complete the Commissioning Checklist
before handover to the customer. For IE, it is necessary to complete a “Declaration of
Conformity” to indicate compliance to I.S. 813.
IMPORTANT
16.12
A comprehensive service should be carried out ANNUALLY. Stress the importance of regular servicing by a Gas
Safe Registered Engineer. In IE servicing work must be carried out by a Registered Gas Installer (RGI).
