minutes then repeat the procedure from

alight it may be left on permanently.

setting. Main burner will then light.
The optimum boiler setting depends
upon type of system, external controls
and your requirements. Your installer
will be able to advise you on this
matter.

extinguished the flue system may be
unsound. Your installer or local gas
region should be contacted as soon as
possible in such circumstances.
