To get the best from your appliance please read these instructions carefully.

Central heating systems

During the first few hours of operation of the central heating sys- tem, check that all radiators are being heated at an even rate. If the top of a radiator is at a lower temperature than the bottom then it should be vented by releasing air through the venting screw at the top of the radiator. Ask your installer to show you how this is done. Repeated venting will reduce the quantity of water in the system and this must be replenished for safe and satisfactory operation of the appliance. An open vented system will re-fill automatically.

Should water leaks be found in the system or excessive venting is required then a service engineer must be contacted to inspect the installation and rectify any fault.

Only additives that are compatible with aluminium may be used in the system. Any incompatible additive used will invalidate the guarantee. Contact Fernox or Sentinel for further details.

Condensate drain

This is a condensing appliance and the terminal will, at times, give out a plume of water vapour. This is quite normal.

The appliance produces quantities of condense which is dis- charged regularly through the siphon.

Ventilation

This is a room sealed appliance and does not require any air for combustion from inside the house. If the appliance is fitted into a cupboard or a compartment is built around the appliance after installation then the compartment must be separated from the boiler space by a perforated non-combustible partition as described in BS6798.

Notwithstanding the requirements of BS6798, there is no need for ventilation openings to be provided in the compartment because of the low heat loss from the casing.

Do not allow the flue terminal fitted on the outside wall to become obstructed or damaged.
