The following BS standards give valuable additional information

2.0 Operating the Boiler
4
2.1 Introduction
1. Your Baxi Combi 130 HE is a gas fired, room
sealed, powered flue condensing combination
boiler, providing central heating for your home and
mains fed domestic hot water. It is fully automatic
and does not have a pilot light. Frost and pump
protection are an 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. Intelligent Pre-Heat: The boiler incorporates an
intelligent pre-heat feature. This ensures that the
domestic hot water to the tap is pre-heated only
when the user required hot water the previous
week. The pre-heat switches the boiler on for
approximately 1 minute every 40 minutes when
required. This function can be switched off if not
required. During the first week of operation from
power on, no pre-heating will occur.
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. Press the Summer/Winter mode button ( )
(Fig. 2) until the required setting is shown on the
Control Panel
indicates the summer setting and only hot
water will be provided when a tap or shower is
turned on.
indicates the winter setting and the central
heating will operate on demand or the hot water
will be provided when a tap or shower is turned on.
4. Priority is given to domestic hot water. The boiler
control system has an automatic time delay built in
for central heating. It is normal that following a
shutdown by the boiler thermostat, timer or
roomstat, there is a delay of approximately 3
minutes, before relighting.
5. The boiler will light automatically on demand.
6. The orange indicator on the badge will light
when the boiler is operating and the main burner is
on (Fig. 2).
7. To turn off the boiler: Press the On/Off/Reset
button ( ) until 00 appears on the display
(Fig. 2a). NOTE: This will disable boiler & system
frost protection. Press again to turn back on.

2.3 Temperature Control
Central Heating: The boiler will automatically
achieve the optimum flow temperature for
maximum comfort and efficiency.
1. However, in the case of the elderly, infirm or
very young, a lower radiator surface temperature
may be desirable. If so, the central heating flow
temperature can be adjusted between 45°C ± 3°
C minimum and 82°C ± 5°C maximum.
2. To set the required temperature, press and
hold the Central Heating Control Button ( )
whilst adjusting the necessary Temperature
Control Button (Fig. 4).
Domestic Hot Water: The boiler will
automatically achieve the optimum flow
temperature for maximum comfort and efficiency.
1. The temperature of the domestic hot water can
be adjusted between 35°C ± 5°C minimum and
55°C ± 5°C maximum.
2. To set the required temperature, press and
hold the Domestic Hot Water Control Button ( )
whilst adjusting the necessary Temperature
Control Button (Fig. 4).
3. At a DHW temperature set point of 45°C the
flow rate can be reduced down to as low as 3.5
litres/min without any degradation of the hot water
control. No DHW will be provided at less than 3.5
litres/min.
NOTE: Two status indicators can be seen
through the badge (Fig. 3).
The right hand symbol is the red “Flame
Failure”indicator.
The left hand symbol is the orange “Burner
ON”indicator.
2.4 Resetting the Appliance
1. The appliance only needs resetting if the red
flame failure light is on (Fig. 3) or if the display
shows( ) for more than 10 seconds.
2. If the red flame failure light is on, press the
On/Off/Reset button ( )(Fig. 4) until the red
flame failure light goes off.
3. If the display shows ( ) for more than 10
seconds, switch the power off for 10 seconds.
4. If this occurs persistently consult a competent
service engineer.

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 in the range
between 1 and 2·5 bar (Fig. 5).
3. A pressure of 3 bar or greater indicates a fault
(Fig. 6). The safety pressure relief valve will
operate at a pressure of 3 bar. It is important that
your Service Engineer is contacted as soon as
possible.
4. The MINIMUM pressure for correct operation is
1 bar. If the pressure falls below this it may
indicate a leak on the central heating system
(Fig. 7).
5. The system must be re-pressurised by your
Service Engineer.
2.6 Emergency Shutdown
1. Turn off the gas supply at either the boiler or
the gas meter.
2. Turn off the electricity supply at the fused
isolating switch.
2.7 Frost Protection
1. If a frost thermostat has been fitted or the
system frost protection has been enabled, then to
operate correctly and protect your system, the gas
and electricity must be left on and the appliance
set in the winter mode (see section 2.2).

3.0 Clearances and Check List
7
3.1 Clearances around the Boiler
(Figs. 8 & 9)
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. Where the appliance is installed in a
cupboard or compartment no air vents are
required. The label affixed to the front of the
boiler must not be removed. The information will
be required by service engineers in the future.
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 On/Off/Reset button on (Not showing
00) and set for both Central Heating and
Domestic Hot Water ? (Showing On)
c) Is the red “Flame Failure”indicator
illuminated ? if so, press the On/Off/Reset
Button (It may also be necessary to turn the
power off for 10 seconds)
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 ?
