* NOTE: The boiler can be operated with a clearance of 5mm at the right. This is also sufficient for routine maintenance. However a clearance of 20mm is required if it is necessary to remove the secondary

 

 

 

 

 

heat exchanger. This should be considered when

 

 

780mm

 

 

 

 

 

 

siting the appliance and in the event of any subsequent

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

alteration in the area of installation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. These areas must not be obstructed in any way, and

 

 

 

 

 

 

must be maintained during the regular operation of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

boiler and for routine maintenance. Blocking the

 

 

 

 

 

 

clearance spaces may result in the boiler overheating

 

 

 

 

 

 

and damage may occur.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. The gas burning compartment of your boiler is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

completely sealed from the room in which it is fitted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

200mm

Min

 

Products from the combustion of gas are vented to the

 

 

 

 

 

 

outside through the flue terminal which must be kept

 

 

 

 

 

 

free from obstruction as this would interfere with the

 

 

 

 

 

 

correct operation of the boiler.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. The boiler may be installed in a cupboard if these

 

 

 

 

 

 

minimum clearances are kept. The compartment should

 

 

 

 

 

 

be large enough to house the boiler and ancillary

 

 

 

 

 

 

equipment only.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. IT SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A STORAGE

 

 

 

 

 

 

CUPBOARD.

2. Go through the following check list before you make contact.

a) Is the electricity supply on ?

b) Is the selector switch on (giving a green “Power ON” neon) and set for both Central Heating and Domestic Hot Water ?

c) Is the red “Flame Failure” neon lit ? Turn the On/Off/Reset selector fully anti-clockwise.

d) Is the gas supply on ?

e) Is the mains water supply turned on ? f) Is the system pressure correct ?

g) Are the boiler temperature controls set high enough ? h) Is the time clock (if fitted) calling for central heating ? i) Is the room thermostat (if fitted) set high enough ? j) Are the radiator valves open ?
