3.0Operating the Boiler

3.2Temperature Control

1.Central Heating: The central heating hot water flow temperature can be adjusted between 30° C (± 5° C) minimum and 85° C (± 5° C) maximum.

2.Turn the control knob clockwise to increase the temperature (Fig. 9).

3.In normal winter usage we recommend that the central heating temperature be set at maximum.

4.Domestic Hot Water Pre-Heat: To enjoy optimum performance of the boiler the pre-heat control should be set fully clockwise to the ON position (Fig. 10). When there is a demand for hot water it will be supplied at approximately 65° C instantaneously.

5.Turning the control 15° clockwise from the OFF position will activate the pre-heat feature. Hot water will be supplied at approximately 35° C instantaneously.

6.To increase the temperature turn the control further clockwise. For example, when set 90° clockwise the boiler will supply hot water at approximately 44° C instantaneously. At a position 180° from clockwise (i.e. straight down) the hot water will be supplied at 52° C instantaneously.

7.When the control is set anywhere between 15° clockwise from the OFF position and the ON position, the pre-heat feature will operate.

8.With the control in the OFF position (Fig. 11) the pre-heat feature will not operate. Hot water will be supplied at approximately 50° C.

9.The pre-heat feature will function with the selector switch in either operating position. This is indicated by the domestic hot water mode neon flashing (Fig. 12).

10.The flow rate can be reduced down to as low as 2.5 litre/min. The boiler will still recognise the need to heat the water.

3.3Flame Failure Reset

1.The red flame failure neon ( ) will illuminate in the event of the burner failing to light, or when incomplete lighting of the burner occurs (Fig. 12).

2.Turn the selector switch fully anti-clockwise against the spring pressure to the reset position (R) and release (Fig. 13). Set the selector to the required position to light the boiler.

 

3. If the flame failure light illuminates repeatedly a

 

fault is indicated. Your Service Engineer should

6

be contacted as soon as possible.
