Benchmark places responsibilities on both manufacturers and installers.
The purpose is to ensure that customers are provided with the correct
equipment for their needs, that it is installed, commissioned and serviced
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions by competent
persons and that it meets the requirements of the appropriate Building
Regulations. The Benchmark Checklist can be used to demonstrate
compliance with Building Regulations and should be provided to the
customer for future reference.
Installers are required to carry out installation, commissioning and
servicing work in accordance with the Benchmark Code of Practice which
is available from the Heating and Hotwater Industry Council who manage
and promote the Scheme. Visit www.centralheating.co.uk for more
information.
SERVICING
H2
GENERAL
Servicing should only be carried out by competent installers
and any spare parts used must be purchased from Kingspan
Environmental. NEVER bypass any safety devices or operate
the unit without them being fully operational.
DRAINING
Isolate from the electrical supply to prevent the immersion
heaters burning out. Turn off the boiler. Isolate the unit from
the cold mains. Attach a hose to the draining tap ensuring that
it reaches to a level below the unit (this will ensure an efficient
syphon is set up and the maximum amount of water is drained
from the unit). First open the hot tap closest to the unit and
then open the draining tap.
WARNING: WATER DRAINED OFF MAY BE VERY HOT!
IMPORTANT: After draining the cylinder do not close the hot
tap until the cylinder has fully cooled, failure to follow this
instruction may result in damage to the cylinder and will
invalidate the guarantee.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
ULTRASTEEL PLUS requires an annual service in order to
ensure safe working and optimum performance. It is essential
that the following checks are performed by a competent
installer on an annual basis. Commonly this is done at the
same time as the annual boiler service.
An annual service should include the following as a minimum
1. Recharging of the expansion volume
2. Checking of all safety valves to ensure they are not leaking
and function correctly
3. Testing of thermostats to ensure they are functioning
correctly
4. Cleaning of filter on inlet control set
5. Test immersionn heater for continuity and resistance
6. Record temperature of hot water at outlet after 1 minute of
flow
7. Ensure discharge pipe discharges fully
8. Complete Benchmark Service record
