GENERAL NOTES
CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM
During the first few hours of operation of the central heating system, check that all radiators are being heated at an even rate. Should the upper area of a radiator be at a lower temperature than the base of the radiator, it should be vented by releasing air through the venting screw at the top of each radiator. Make sure your installer shows you how to carry out the operation. Repeated venting will reduce the quantity of water in the system and this must be replen- ished for safe and satisfactory operation of the appliance. Should water leaks be found in the system or excessive venting be required from any radiator, your installer or heating engineer should be con- tacted and the system corrected.

| tem which is | |
| will advise you on the minimum and maximum pres- | |
| sure that should be indicated on the pressure gauge. See | |
| Fig. 2. Check regularly that this pressure is maintained | |
| and contact your installer or maintenance engineer if | |
| there is a permanent significant drop in pressure indi- | |
| cated on the gauge. If the system loses pressure it | |
| should be | |
| (N.B. Maximum operating pressure 2.5 bar). | |

| Turn the grey knob clockwise to stop filling and | |
| remove the filling key by lining up the bayonet end of | |
Filling Key | the key with the cut outs in the filling loop housing and | |
| withdrawing the key. | |
| N.B. The key must always be removed from the | |
| filling loop housing after the system has been filled to | |
| prevent accidental filling and to comply with Bylaw 14 | |
| of the Water Bylaws Scheme. | |
| Store the key in a safe place for future use and | |
| refit the bottom panel. | |
| OPEN VENTED HEATING SYSTEM | |
| The appliance may be fitted to an open vented | |
| heating system your installer will advise you. There is | |
| no need to observe the pressure gauge. |
