2.0 Introduction
4
2.1 Introduction
1. Your Baxi Combi 80e or 105e 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.
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.
2.2 Facia Panel
1. The facia panel is behind the hinged lower
door. 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.

3.1 Operating the Boiler
1. Ensure that the electricity and gas supplies are
turned on. Check that the central heating pressure
is between 0.5 and 1.0 bar (Fig. 4).
2. Turn the On/Off/Reset selector switch either
anti-clockwise from the off position (Fig. 6) to both
central heating and domestic hot water or
clockwise to domestic hot water only.
3. In either position the green power on indicator
( ) will illuminate (Fig. 5).
4. Position (i) 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. 7). Priority is given to domestic hot water.
The central heating/hot water neon ( ) will
illuminate (Fig. 5). Neons 6 to 11 will illuminate as
the temperature rises.
5. Position (ii) In this position hot water will be
provided when a tap or shower is turned on
(Fig. 8). The hot water neon ( ) will illuminate
(Fig. 5).
6. The boiler will light automatically on demand.
7. The orange burner on neon ( ) will illuminate
when the boiler is operating and the main burner is
on (Fig. 5).
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).

3.2 Temperature 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: 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, or when
incomplete lighting of the burner occurs (Fig. 11).
2. Turn the selector switch fully anti-clockwise
against the spring pressure to the reset position
(R) 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. Your Service Engineer should
be contacted as soon as possible.
3.4 Safety Thermostat
1. Your Baxi Combi 80e or 105e is fitted with an
additional safety device, which shuts down the
boiler in the event of the system or the boiler
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
(R) and release (Fig. 12). Set the selector to the
required position to light the boiler.
3. If the safety thermostat operates repeatedly,
causing boiler shutdown, a fault is indicated. Your
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 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 Service
Engineer to determine the nature of the fault.
3.7 Sensor Fault
1. When the ( ) or ( ) neon is illuminated a
fault on the hot water or central heating
temperature sensor is indicated (Fig. 12). Contact
your Service Engineer.
3.8 Pump Protection
1. With the selector switch in either Position (i) or
Position (ii) (Figs. 13 & 14) the pump will
automatically operate for 1 minute in every 24
hours to prevent sticking.

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
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).
5. The system must be re-pressurised by your
Service Engineer.
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
9
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
Both sides - 5mm
Front - 5mm (In Operation)
- 450mm (For Servicing)
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. 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
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”neon) and set for both Central
Heating and Domestic Hot Water ?
c) Is the red “Flame Failure”neon lit ?
Turn the On/Off/Reset selector fully anti-
clockwise.
d) Is the gas supply on ?
e) Is the mains water supply turned on ?
f) Is the system pressure correct ?
g) Are the boiler temperature controls set high
enough ?
h) Is the time clock (if fitted) calling for central
heating ?
i) Is the room thermostat (if fitted) set high
enough ?
j) Are the radiator valves open ?
