This boiler is fitted to a sealed system; repeated venting will reduce the quantity of water in the system and this must be replenished for safe and satisfactory operation of the boiler.
Should water leaks be found in the system or if 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.
