2.0 Operating the Boiler
4
2.1 Introduction
1. Your Baxi Bahama 100 is a gas fired, room
sealed, powered flue combination boiler, providing
central heating for your home and mains fed
domestic hot water to taps and shower. It is fully
automatic and does not have a pilot light. Frost
and pump protection is a integral part of the
appliance.
2. Priority is given to the hot water mode - when a
hot water tap is turned on the supply of heat to the
central heating circuit is interrupted.
3. A shortened version of these operating
instructions appears on the reverse of the lower
door panel. A label gives details of the model,
serial number, G.C.Noand the manufacturer’s
name and address.
2.2 Operating the Boiler
1. Ensure that the electricity and gas supplies are
turned on.
2. Hinge down the lower door panel (Fig. 1).
3. Turn the on-off selector switch either clockwise
from the off position (Fig. 3) to both central heating
and domestic hot water or anti-clockwise to
domestic hot water only.
4. In either position the green indicator will light,
showing power on (Fig. 2).
5. Position (i) In this position hot water will be
provided when a tap or shower is turned on
(Fig. 4).
6. Position (ii) In this position the central heating
will operate according to demand or provide
domestic hot water when a tap or shower is turned
on (Fig. 5).
7. Priority is given to domestic hot water. The
boiler control system has an automatic delay time
built in for central heating. It is normal that
following a shutdown of the boiler thermostat,
timer or roomstat, there is a delay of
approximately 3 minutes, before relighting.
8. The boiler will light automatically on demand.
9. The orange indicator will light when the boiler is
operating and the main burner is on (Fig. 2).

2.3 Temperature Control
1. Central Heating: The central heating hot water
flow temperature can be adjusted between 40°C
(± 5°C) minimum and 80°C (± 5°C) maximum.
2. Turn the control knob clockwise to increase the
temperature (Fig. 6).
3. In normal winter usage we recommend that the
central heating temperature be set at maximum.
4. Domestic Hot Water: The temperature of the
domestic hot water can be adjusted by turning the
control knob clockwise to increase or
anticlockwise to decrease (Fig. 7).
5. The temperature of the water is also dependent
on the water flow rate and the temperature of the
mains coming into the house.
6. By slightly reducing the flow from the tap the
temperature will increase up to the maximum if
required.
7. The flow rate can be reduced down to as low
as 2 litre/min (less than 1/2gal/min). The boiler will
still recognise the need to heat the water.
8. hinge up the lower door panel.
NOTE: Two status indicators can be seen
through the badge (Fig. 8).
The right hand symbol is the red “Flame
Failure”indicator.
The left hand symbol is the orange “Burner
ON”indicator.
2.4 Safety Thermostat
1. Your Baxi Bahama 100 is fitted with an
additional safety device, which shuts down the
boiler in the event of the system or the boiler
overheating.
2. If the device operates, the red flame failure
indicator will light (Fig. 8) and the boiler will shut
down.
3. To reset: Press the reset switch to relight the
boiler (Fig. 9).
4. If the safety thermostat operates repeatedly,
causing flame failure and boiler shutdown, a fault
is indicated. Your Service Engineer should be
contacted as soon as possible.

2.5 Central Heating System Pressure
1. The water pressure in the central heating
system is indicated by the pressure gauge.
2. The normal operating pressure is the range
between 1 and 2·5 (Fig. 10).
3. A pressure of 3 or greater indicates a fault.
The safety pressure relief valve will operate, at a
pressure of 3 (Fig. 11). It is important that your
Service Engineer is contacted as soon as
possible.
4. The MINIMUM pressure for correct operation
is 1.
5. If the pressure falls below 1, this may indicate
a leak on the central heating system (Fig. 12).
6. The system must be re-pressurised by your
Service Engineer.
2.6 To Shut Off the Boiler
1. For short periods: Turn the selector switch to
the OFF position (Fig. 13).
2. For long periods: Turn off the selector switch
(Fig. 13), electricity and gas supplies.
If your home is to be left unoccupied for long
periods during cold weather the boiler and
whole system should be drained unless left in
the frost protection mode.
3. Your installer will advise you about draining
the system.
2.7 Frost Protection Mode
1. The frost protection mode is integral to the
appliance when left in the domestic hot water and
central heating position (Fig. 14).
2. If the system temperature falls below 5°C,
then the boiler will fire on its minimum setting
until a flow temperature of 30°C is reached.
3. Further frost protection can be incorporated by
using a frost thermostat.
2.8 Pump Protection
1. The control system continually monitors the
time since the pump last operates. This will result
in the pump being run for 10 seconds every so
often to prevent seizure.

3.0 Clearances and Check List
7
3.1 Clearances around the Boiler
(Figs. 5 & 6)
1. The minimum clear spaces needed around
the boiler measured from the casing are as
follows:
Top - 200mm
Bottom - 200mm
Both sides - 5mm
Front - 500mm (For Servicing)
- 5mm (In Operation)
2. These areas must not be obstructed in any
way. 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. 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. Note that
the label affixed to the front of the boiler must be
left in place to ensure future servicing is
successfully undertaken. The compartment
should be large enough to house the boiler and
ancillary equipment only.
5. IT SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A STORAGE
CUPBOARD.
3.2 Check List
1. If a fault develops, or is suspected, call your
Service Engineer as soon as possible.
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”light) and set for both Central
Heating and Domestic Hot Water ?
c) Is the red “Flame Failure”indicator lit ?
Press the Reset Button.
d) Is the gas supply on ?
e) Is the mains water supply turned on ?
f) Are the boiler temperature controls set high
enough ?
g) Is the time clock (if fitted) calling for central
heating ?
h) Is the room thermostat (if fitted) set high
enough ?
i) Are the radiator valves open ?
