2. Installation Requirements
Gas Safety (Installation and Use Regulations:
October 1994
All gas appliances must e installed y a competent person
in accordance with the a ove regulations. Failure to install
appliances correctly could lead to prosecution.
2.1 Location
The appliance should e installed in a frost-free, well-
ventilated room and connected to a flue.
2.2 Water Connection
It is advisa le to flush all water pipes efore installing your
gas appliance, purging them of sand and other particles
which could later affect the heater's performance.
Make sure the water valve is fitted with a water filter.
Regular cleaning of the water filter should e carried out.
Identify and mark cold (right) and hot water (left) pipes to
avoid wrong connections.
Connect water pipes to appliance using correct fittings.
2.3 Gas Connection
Make sure that your water heater model is compati le with
the type of gas supplied.
A gas isolating valve must e provided near the appliance.
Verify the gas supply pressure - compare with the values in
chapter "Technical Data", pt. 1.2.
2.4 Flue Pipe Connection
The appliance must e connected to a flue pipe, no smaller
than the appliance outlet, ensuring a good seal.
The flue pipe can e made of galvanised steel, aluminium
or stainless steel.
2.5 Air supply
The room in which an appliance is installed must have a
permanent air vent to outside air or to a room which itself
has direct access to outside air. The minimum effective
area of the air vent(s) must e 23cm2 (W135), 72cm2
(W275), 99cm2 (W350) or 118cm2 (W400).
Installations in cup oards or compartments require
permanent vents for cooling purposes, one at high level
and one at low level, either direct to outside air or to a
room. Both vents must pass to the same room or e on
the same wall to outside air.
There must e sufficient clearence around the appliance
to allow proper circulation of ventilation air. The minimum
clearances required are 50 mm for the sides and 150 mm
a ove the appliances front cover.
The minimum free areas required are given elow.
After this procedure, whenever a hot water outlet is opened,
automatic ignition will take place y lighting the pilot urner
first, and the main urner a out four seconds later. After
some seconds the flame of the pilot urner will die out.
This saves a considera le amount of energy, since the
pilot urner only remains alight during the time it takes to
light the main urner, not as in conventional systems where
it urns permanently.
The gas slide control allows for output variation according
to one's needs. The further to the right you position the
slide the greater the output, ut also the greater the
consumption of gas.
In order to optimise energy consumption, adjust slide
position to supply the minimum output required.
When starting up the appliance, the existence of air inside
the gas supply pipework may cause some ignition
difficulties. In that case, open and close the hot water tap
repeatedly to re-start the ignition process, until complete
air purge is o tained.

additional air inlet may e needed from outside to counter
the effect of the fan.
2.6 Installation
Open gas and water isolating valves and check the
soundness of all connections. Take the two 1,5V atteries
supplied with the appliance and place them correctly in
the attery ox (fig. 2).
Refer to BS 6798 and BS 5440:2 for additional information.
A spillage test, as detailed in BS 5440:1, must e carried
out and any remedial action taken to ensure that the
installation meets the standard. The effect of any type of
extract fan in the premises must e considered and an
. Operating and Servicing
3.1 Operating the Water Heater
The appliance is equipped with automatic electronic
ignition, making it easy to ignite the pilot urner.
Start off y moving the output slide control from the off to
the ignition position.

3.4 Fault Finding
The following ta le outlines some common pro lems and their solutions.
3.2 Flue gas safety device
The appliance is equipped with a flue gas safety device. If
the urner extinguishes while in operation, it is likely that
the flue gas safety device has activated. Ventilate the room
and reignite the appliance 10 minutes later. If it happens
again, please contact a professional installer.
The servicing of the flue gas safety device must always
e undertaken y a Corgi registered technician. The flue
gas safety device can never e put out of operation.
3.3 Servicing
Servicing is only to e performed y a Corgi registered
technician. It is recommended that the appliance is fully
serviced every year.
The heat exchanger, main urner, pilot urner and water
valve filter must e thoroughly cleaned.
If necessary, the heat exchanger and connecting pipes
should e de-scaled, and su sequently the soundness of
the water and gas valves checked. A complete check on
all the functions should e carried out.
If some parts have to e replaced, use only original spare
parts supplied by the manufacturer.
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Appliance does not ignite. Misplaced or worn out batteries. Check position and replace if
necessary.
Slow and difficult ignition of pilot
burner. Worn out batteries. Replace
Burner extinguishes while in
operation. Flue gas safety device activated. Ventilate the room and re-ignite the appliance some minutes later. If it
happens again, contact a Corgi
registered technician.
Insufficient water temperature. Wrong output selected. Check position of water temperature
selector and adjust according to your
output needs.
Insufficient water temperature,
short flame. Insufficient gas pressure. Check if gas container freezes while in use. If so, place it in a warmer location.
Check if gas inlet governor is of
appropriate type, and is in good
working condition. Replace if
necessary.*
Dirty/damaged gas filter or burner. Clean gas filter and burner.*
Pilot burner doesn’tsparkwith
water flow. Unadjusted micro-switch screw. Turn the water off.*
Remove cover cap from lower part of
micro-switch and turn the screw off
until the sparking begins, then turn
further 1 and 1/2 turns.
Insufficient water flow. Insufficient water pressure. Check and adjust.
Dirty taps or mixers. Check and clean.
Blocked water valve. Clean the filter.*
Blocked heating body (scale). Clean and de-scale.*
