Maintenance tips
• Appliances on a sealed heating system:
– Regularly check the system pressure.
• Do not obstruct the flue outlet or the air inlet.
• Use in hard water areas:
– In exceptionally hard water areas a device to prevent
scale formation may be fitted. Installation of a scale
inhibitor assembly should be in accordance with the
requirements of the local water company. An isolating
valve should be fitted to allow for servicing.
2.5 Benchmark standard
The Benchmark initiative is a
code of practice to encourage
the correct installation,
commissioning and servicing of
domestic central heating
appliances and system
equipment.
A “checklist” is dispatched with every appliance and can be
found towards the back of the Installation, Commissioning and
Servicing Instructions. This is a vital document that needs to be
completed by the installer at the time of installation. It confirms
that the appliance has been installed and commissioned
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The service record provides space for the recording of regular
servicing of the appliance/heating system and this can become
a valuable document when, for example, you wish to sell the
property. The service record will show a potential purchaser
that the heating system has received regular professional
maintenance and servicing during its lifetime.
The Benchmark initiative aims to:
• Raise standards among professional installers
• Build and maintain high safety standards in the industry
• Improve customer satisfaction levels
• Make a contribution to the nation's commitment to climate
change
2.6 User caution
• It is forbidden for any interference with the appliance other
than those actions allowed in this document.
Important note:
▶Ifyouhavetoaddwater regularly in your
heating system, call a competent,
qualified person.
CAUTION: Incorrect use
▶ Any incorrect use can result in danger to
the householder.

Prepare for operation
Greenstar Ri ErP + - 6 720 821 669 (2018/06)
3 Prepare for operation
3.1 Open vented heating systems
Appliances that can be connected to open vented heating systems will have the pressure maintained automatically by the header
tank feeding the system.
3.2 Sealed heating systems
Appliances that can be connected to sealed heating systems are pre-pressurised before operation, this pressure must be
maintained for safe use of the appliance.
Your installer will have fitted a pressure gauge and filling loop so that the system can be monitored and adjusted as necessary.
▶ Check regularly that the pressure is maintained.
▶ Re-charge the system if the pressure gauge reads less than 1 bar.
▶ If a permanent significant decrease or increase in pressure is indicated on the pressure gauge, contact your installer or
maintenance engineer.
3.2.1 Checking the system pressure
Your installer will advise you of the optimum operating pressure.
▶ Check the system pressure from the pressure gauge.
–Static pressure is when appliance is cold and has not fired for heating or hot water. This will generally be 1 - 1.5 bar.
–Operating pressure is when the appliance is firing for a heating or hot water demand. This will generally be 1 - 2 bar.
▶ Top up the heating water, if the pressure is too low.
Fig. 2 Pressure gauge for checking the operating pressure
[1] Static pressure range
[2] Operating pressure range
3.2.2 Constantly re-pressuring the system pressure
Constantly having to re-pressuring the heating system should be investigated as the concentration of inhibitor protection in the
system will be reduced; this can result in corrosion within the heating system reducing the efficiency and increasing contaminates.
▶ Check for leaks on heating system (pipe work and radiator valves).
▶ Contact your installer or maintenance engineer if a permanent significant decrease or increase in pressure is indicated on the
pressure gauge.

3.3 Topping up the system pressure
External filling loop
Once the external filling loop and pressure gauge has been located, follow the instructions for re-pressurising the system.
▶ Unscrew the blanking cap [1].
▶ Attach the hose [2] to the valve.
– Usually one end of the hose is already connected to one of the system fill isolation valves.
▶ Ensure both ends [3] of the hose are screwed on hand tight.
▶ Monitor the pressure gauge.
– The system fill isolation valves [4] are in a closed position (the handle/screwdriver slot is across the valve).
▶ Turn the handle/screwdriver slot through 90?‹ to open valves and slowly fill the system.
– The system fill isolation valves [5] are opened (the handle/screwdriver slot is in-line with the valve).
– The needle on the pressure gauge will start to rise.
▶ Set the pressure between 1 and 1.5 bar pressure.
▶ Turn the handles/screwdriver slots back, through 90?‹, to close the valves.
– The system fill isolation valves [6] are in a closed position (the handle/screwdriver slot is across the valve).
If the pressure drops off, below 1 bar as a result of the air bleeding:
▶ Top up the system pressure.
Once the pressure has settled between 1 and 1.5 bar.
▶ Remove the hose [2] and replace the blanking cap [1].
If the pressure gauge reads more than 1.5 bar as a result of over filling, Bleed one radiator until the pressure gauge
returns to between 1 and 1.5 bar.
NOTICE: System fill method
Your installer should have informed you where to find the filling system and instructed you in its use.
▶ To comply with the Water Authority regulations you must disconnect the external filling loop after re-
pressurisation.

Environment protection/ disposal
Greenstar Ri ErP + - 6 720 821 669 (2018/06)
6.3 Extreme cold weather
In certain instances where the condensate pipe work is run externally or in an unheated area, such as a garage, the condensate pipe
work can be at risk of freezing, even if well insulated.
A frozen/blocked condensate pipe will cause the appliance to shut down. Worcester, Bosch Group have helpful videos available on
our website in the Customer service section.
If the condensate pipe has frozen:
▶ Locate the blockage.
– It is likely that the pipe is frozen at the most exposed point outside the building or where there is an obstruction to flow. This
could be the open end of the pipe, at a bend or elbow, or where there is a sag in the pipe in which condensate can collect.
– The location of the blockage should be identified as closely as possible before taking further action.
▶ Thaw the frozen pipe.
– The pipe can be thawed by applying a hot water bottle, a microwaveable heating pack (the sort used for muscular aches and
pains) or a cloth soaked in hot water to the exterior of the pipe, close to the point of blockage.
– Hot water, but not boiling, can also be poured onto the pipe from a watering can or similar container.
– Care must be taken at pedestrian areas where this water may freeze and create a slip hazard.
▶ Worcester, Bosch Group have available on our website helpful videos in the Customer service section to aid in thawing a frozen
pipe.
▶ Once the pipe has been thawed the appliance must be reset, press the reset button for five seconds and wait two to three
minutes for the appliance to restart.
▶ If the appliance does not restart, contact Worcester, Bosch Group Appointments Team on: 0330 123 9339.
▶ Contact your installer in order to find a permanent solution to the problem.

Tips on energy saving
Greenstar Ri ErP + - 6 720 821 669 (2018/06)
8 Tips on energy saving
Heating economically
The appliance provides a high level of comfort whilst keeping fuel consumption and the environment effects as low as possible.
The appliance is controlled in such a way that it delivers heat at the correct rate and only if there is a clear demand from the system.
Central heating systems with room thermostat/thermostatic radiator valves
With modern heating systems set around a 20 °C heat loss, the optimum setting for a condensing appliance will be approximately
73 °C for the central heating temperature. This is to ensure a return temperature of less than 52 °C.
The system must be balanced correctly and the radiators may need upgrading. This allows the appliance to condense as much as
possible for the central heating system.
The temperature of each room can be set individually (except primary room with the room thermostat) using the thermostatic
radiator valves.
Room thermostats
Reducing the setting of the room thermostat by 1°C can reduce fuel consumption by up to 10%.
New control systems
Upgrade your heating control system if necessary with the latest equipment available.
Roof insulation
Around 30% of the heat loss from a property is through the roof. Replace any old insulation with new insulation, preferably of around
200mm thickness or more.
Window frames
Single glazed windows, particularly those with steel frames, can lose a great deal of heat. Consideration should be given to
replacement with PVCu or wooden framed double glazed units.
Radiators
If a radiator is sited underneath a window, its performance will be affected if the curtains are allowed to drape over the radiator.
Shelves fitted above or in front of the radiator should also be avoided.
It is advisable to manually adjust all thermostatic radiator valves every 2 - 3 months to prevent them sticking. Ensure radiator valves
are correctly set and not damaged.
Draughts
Try to ensure that draughts around doors, windows, letter boxes and keyholes etc. are reduced by using a suitable draught excluder.
Curtains
Lined curtains, or heavier full length curtains can provide excellent insulation. However, always ensure that the curtains do not
drape over radiators.
WARNING: Air vents
▶ Do not block or seal any air vents that are installed to ensure that the central heating appliance operates safely.

10 Glossary
Central heating systems
All radiators must be heated at an even rate. If the top of a radiator is at a lower temperature than the bottom then it should be bled
by releasing air through the bleed screw at the top of the radiator.
Ask your installer to show you how this is done.
If this appliance is fitted to a sealed system and water leaks are found or if excessive bleeding is required, then a service engineer
must be contacted to inspect the installation and rectify any fault.
Only additives that are compatible with aluminium may be used in the system. Any incompatible additive used will invalidate the
warranty.
Pluming and condensate drain
This is a condensing appliance and the flue terminal will, at times give out a plume of water vapour. This is quite normal.
The appliance produces condensate which is discharged regularly by a syphon within the appliance via a plastic pipe to a drain. This
pipe must not be blocked or altered in any way.
Room thermostat / programmer
A room thermostat / programmer must be fitted to control the central heating. This controls the times and temperatures of the
central heating, preventing the appliance from firing unnecessarily. Refer to the instructions supplied with the thermostat and
programmer for further information.
Thermostatic radiator valves
Thermostatic radiator valves must be fitted in sleeping accommodation. It is recommended that this type of valve is fitted to all but
one of the radiators. The remaining radiator, where the room thermostat is located, must be uncontrolled and left open.
Pump over run function
After the appliance has finished a demand for central heating or hot water, the pump may continue to run for a short while to
dissipate the heat from within the appliance.
Pump anti-seizure
If there has been no heating demand for 24 hours the appliance will run the system pump for a few seconds to reduce the possibility
of pump seizure during long periods of inactivity.
