2.1 Introduction
1 Your Baxi Combi Instant 80 HE or 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
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 Instant Domestic Hot Water
1 The boiler expansion vessel incorporates a small
volume of stored primary hot water
2 When the boiler has been off and there is then a
demand for domestic hot water the stored primary hot
water ensures that domestic hot water is supplied
instantly at temperature
3 The stored hot water is part of the primary circuit This
is not supplied as domestic hot water, which is fresh
mains water heated by a heat exchanger within the boiler
4 The stored primary hot water temperature is
maintained whilst the boiler is in operation During a
period when there is no demand for heating or hot water
the temperature of the stored primary hot water will
eventually fall The boiler will operate occasionally in
order to maintain the temperature This is indicated by
the domestic hot water mode neon flashing (item 13 of
Fig 3)
2.3 Facia Panel
1 The facia panel is behind the hinged lower door panel
As well as the on/off/reset selector switch, central heating
temperature control knob, pre-heat control 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

3.2 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 Pre-Heat: To enjoy optimum
performance of the boiler the pre-heat control should
be set fully clockwise to the ON position (Fig 10)
When there is a demand for hot water it will be supplied
at approximately 65° C instantaneously
5 Turning the control 15° clockwise from the OFF
position will activate the pre-heat feature Hot water will
be supplied at approximately 35° C instantaneously
6 To increase the temperature turn the control further
clockwise For example, when set 90° clockwise the
boiler will supply hot water at approximately 44° C
instantaneously At a position 180° from clockwise (i e
straight down) the hot water will be supplied at 52° C
instantaneously
7 When the control is set anywhere between 15°
clockwise from the OFF position and the ON position,
the pre-heat feature will operate
8 With the control in the OFF position (Fig 11) the pre-
heat feature will not operate Hot water will be supplied
at approximately 50° C
9 The pre-heat feature will function with the selector
switch in either operating position This is indicated by
the domestic hot water mode neon flashing (Fig 12)
10 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 12)
2 Turn the selector switch fully anti-clockwise against
the spring pressure to the ‘Reset’ position for at least
two seconds and release (Fig 13) 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 called as soon as possible

overheating The safety thermostat neon ( ) will light
in this instance (Fig 14)
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 15) 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 14)
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 14)
2 Check the pressure gauge as described in Section 3 9

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 18 & 19)
3 A pressure of 3 or greater indicates a fault The safety
pressure relief valve will operate, at a pressure of 3
(Fig 20) 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 21)
3.10 To Shut Off the Boiler
1 For short periods: Turn the selector switch to the
OFF position (Fig 22)
2 For long periods: Turn off the selector switch
(Fig 22), 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

4.0 Clearances and Check List
10
4.1 Clearances around the Boiler
(Figs 23 & 24)
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.
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.
