2.0 Introduction
5
© Baxi Heating UK Limited 2005
2.1 Introduction
1. Your Baxi Combi 105 HE is a gas fired, room sealed,
powered flue condensing 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. Boiler frost
protection and pump protection are integral features
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. Due to the high efficiency and resultant low flue gas
temperature when in condensing mode a white plume
of condensate will be emitted from the terminal. This
will be particularly evident during periods of low
outside temperature.
2.2 Facia Panel
1. The facia panel is behind the hinged lower door
panel. As well as the on/off/reset selector switch,
temperature control knobs and pressure gauge, the
facia incorporates ten neon indicator lights.
2. Neons 12 to 15 indicate the operational status of
the boiler. Neons 6 to 11 have a dual function,
indicating the temperature of the central heating water
when constantly illuminated. If a fault develops the
appropriate neon will begin to flash. Refer to Sections
3.3 to 3.7.

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 up to a maximum of
65° C (Fig. 10).
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 2.5
litre/min. The boiler will still recognise the need to heat
the water.
3.3 Flame Failure Reset
1. The red flame failure neon ( ) will illuminate in
the event of the burner failing to light, when incomplete
lighting of the burner occurs or blockage of the
condensate drain (Fig. 11).
2. Turn the selector switch fully anti-clockwise against
the spring pressure to the ‘Reset’ position for at least
two seconds and release (Fig. 12). Set the selector to
the required position to light the boiler.
3. If the flame failure light illuminates repeatedly a fault is
indicated with either the boiler, the gas supply or the
condensate drain. Your installer or Service Engineer
should be contacted as soon as possible.
3.4 Safety Thermostats
1. Your Baxi Combi 105 HE is fitted with additional
safety devices, which shut down the boiler in the event
of the system, the boiler or the flue overheating. The
safety thermostat neon ( ) will light in this instance
(Fig. 11).
2. To reset: Turn the selector fully anti-clockwise against
the spring pressure to the ‘Reset’ position for at least
two seconds and release (Fig. 12). Set the selector to
the required position to light the boiler.
3. If after turning the selector to the ‘Reset’ position the
boiler does not relight or the safety thermostat operates
repeatedly, causing boiler shutdown, a fault is indicated.
Your Installer or Service Engineer should be contacted
as soon as possible.

3.5 Air Flow Monitor
1. The boiler is fitted with an air pressure sensing device.
This monitors the flue system.
2. If the neon illuminates ( ) it indicates that the flue
or flue terminal is blocked or obstructed in some way,
or that there is an internal fault. If there is no external
blockage of the flue terminal that can be easily removed
contact your Installer or Service Engineer (Fig. 12).
3.6 Pump Fault or Low Pressure
1. The neon ( ) will illuminate if the circulating pump
is faulty or the system pressure drops below the
minimum requirement (Fig. 12).
2. Check the pressure gauge as described in Section 3.9.
If the pressure is in the normal range, a pump fault is
indicated. Contact your Installer or Service Engineer to
determine the nature of the fault.

3.9 Central Heating System Pressure
1. The water pressure in the central heating system is
indicated by the pressure gauge.
2. With the system cold and the boiler not operating the
pressure should be between 0.5 and 1.0 bar. During
operation the pressure should not exceed 2.5 bar, and
will normally be between 1.0 and 2.0 (Figs. 15 & 16).
3. A pressure of 3 or greater indicates a fault. The safety
pressure relief valve will operate, at a pressure of 3 (Fig.
17). It is important that your Installer or Service
Engineer is contacted as soon as possible.
4. The MINIMUM pressure for correct operation is 0.5. If
the pressure falls below 0.5, this may indicate a leak on
the central heating system (Fig. 18).
3.10 To Shut Off the Boiler
1. For short periods: Turn the selector switch to the OFF
position (Fig. 19).
2. For long periods: Turn off the selector switch (Fig.19),
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 there is additional
frost protection.
3. Your installer will advise you about frost protection and
draining the system.
IMPORTANT: When the selector switch is in the ‘0’
(Off) position the electrical supply to the boiler is
isolated. The boiler will not operate and the integral
timer (if fitted) will require resetting once the
selector switch is set to either Position (i) or
Position (ii).
3.11 Frost Protection Mode
1. The frost protection feature will operate when the
selector switch is in the central heating and domestic hot
water mode.
The gas and electrical supplies to the boiler must be on
and the system pressure must be within the range
described in Section 3.9.
2. If the system temperature falls below 5°C, then the
boiler will fire until the water temperature has been
raised.
3. Further frost protection can be incorporated by using a
frost thermostat to protect the whole system.

4.0 Clearances and Check List
10 © Baxi Heating UK Limited 2005
4.1 Clearances around the Boiler
(Figs. 20 & 21)
1. The minimum clear spaces needed around the boiler
measured from the casing are as follows:
Top - 200mm
Bottom - 200mm
Left Side - 5mm
Right Side - 20mm/5mm
Front - 5mm (In Operation)
- 450mm (For Servicing)
* 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
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.
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.
4.2 Check List
1. If a fault develops, or is suspected, call your installer or
Service Engineer as soon as possible.
