FOREWORD 1INTRODUCTION
This instruction manual is produced for the reference
and guidance of qualified installation engineers. EU
legislation governs the manufacture, operation and
efficiency of all domestic oil boilers. One effect of this
will be that boilers and burners will require to be
supplied as matched units tested and approved to
OFTEC Standard OFS Al00.
FIREBIRD Boilers are full manufacturing members of
OFTEC (Oil Firing Technical Association for the
Petroleum Industry) and are participating in its Boiler
testing and approvals programme to comply with OFS
A100 and EC Efficiency Directive.
Boilers must be installed, commissioned
and serviced by qualified and experienced
OFTEC approved personnel (U.K. only). It
should be noted that it is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure
that the boiler is properly commissioned.
Failure to do so may invalidate the boiler
guarantee and any extended warranty.
All appropriate OFTEC manuals and BS
Standards should be studied and their
requirements adhered to and used in
conjunction with these instructions. This
manual includes a list of some BS
Standards and Building Regulations.
OFTEC is conducting training and registration of
engineers and this is to be commended, as reading of
this manual alone for installation and servicing
procedures cannot replace the critical advantage
provided by training and years of experience.
The Firebird Combi Boiler Range is based on the ‘S’
Range Boilers. All boilers in the range are designed
and manufactured to meet all the latest European
standards and the thermal efficiency requirements of
the Boiler (efficiency) Regulations 1993. All Boilers
can be fitted to a conventional flue or easily adapted
to a room sealed unit by using a Firebird matched
balanced flue kit.
The control panel can be easily accessed by the
simple removal of four screws, then this assembly can
be pulled forward for access to components.
Clean combustion with kitchen-quiet operation is
assured by a highly efficient matching pressure jet
burner which produces very low NOxemissions. The
Combi Range is a dedicated sealed system boiler
having a 12 litre expansion vessel on the 50-70 and
70-90 models, on the 90-120 model ther is a 14 litre
expansion vessel, system filling kit and 3 bar safety
valve all fitted within its cabinet.
A drain-off cock is fitted inside the boiler beside the
burner and there are flow and return connections
provided under top lid of the boiler for connection to
the heating and hot water systems. As all servicing can
be carried out from the front, the boiler many be
fitted under a kitchen worktop.
The burner is factory set for use with kerosene 28
second class C fuel. However, 35 second gas oil
may be used on a conventional flue installation,
a oil pre-heater may be necessary.
GUARANTEE
• All Firebird oil Boilers have a 2 year
comprehensive warranty which extends to
5 year on the boiler shell
• The Guarantee card must be fully
completed and returned to firebird within
28 day’s of installation.
• Consumable components, the nozzles and
the oil hose are excluded.
• The terms laid down on the Guarantee
must be adhered to.
NOTE: Some Firebird boilers are suitable
for conversion to gas. Conversion must only
be undertaken by Firebird approved gas
technicians using a Firebird supplied
conversion kit suitable for the particular
boiler.

Safe use of Kerosene and Gas Oil.
These fuels give off a flammable vapour when heated
moderately. Vapour ignites easily, burns intensely and
may cause explosion. The vapour can follow along at
ground level for considerable distances from open
containers and spillages collecting as an explosive
mixture in drains, cellars, etc.
Fuels remove natural oils and fats from the skin and
this may cause irritation and cracking of skin. Barrier
cream containing lanolin is highly recommended
together with good personal hygiene.
Gas oil may also cause irreversible damage to health
on prolonged or repeated skin contact.
Always store fuels in a properly constructed and
labelled tank. Always handle fuel in open air or well
ventilated space away from sources of ignition and
refrain from smoking.
Always drain fuel using a proper fuel retriever, funnel
or mechanical siphon. Never apply heat to a fuel tank,
container or pipework. Never siphon fuel through
tube by mouth. If accidentally swallowed contact
doctor immediately and do NOT induce vomiting.
Avoid inhaling fuel vapour as this can cause light
headedness and seriously impair judgement.

Under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 and
Section 6 of the Health and Safety Act 1974, we are
required to provide information on substances
hazardous to health.
INSULATION AND SEALS
Ceramic Fibre, Alumino - Silicone Fibre material are
used for boards, ropes and gaskets. Known hazards
are that people may suffer reddening and itching of
the skin. Fibre entering the eye will cause foreign
body irritation. It may also cause irritation to the
respiratory tract.
Precautions should be taken by people with a history
of skin complaints or who may be particularly
susceptible to irritation. High dust levels are only
likely to arise following harsh abrasion.
Generally, normal handling and use will not give
discomfort. Follow good hygiene practices, wash
hands before consuming food, drink or using the
toilet.
First Aid - Medical attention should be sought
following eye contact or prolonged reddening of the
skin.
The small quantities of adhesives and sealants used in
the product are cured. They present no known
hazards when used in the manner for which they are
intended.
1. Switch off all electrical and other ignition
sources.
2. Remove all contaminated clothing to safeguard
against fire risk and skin damage. Wash affected
skin throughly with soap and water and remove
clothing to a safe well ventilated area and allow
to air before cleaning.
3. Contain and smother the spill using sand or
other suitable non-combustible material.
4. Do not allow fuel to escape into drains or water
courses. If this happens, contact Fire Brigade
and Local Water Authority.
5. Consult local Authority about disposal of
contaminated soil.
If fuel is accidentally swallowed:-
* Seek medical attention immediately. Do NOT
induce vomiting.
If fuel is splashed into eyes:-
* Wash out with running water for at least ten
minutes and seek medical attention.

The above performance figures are based on ideal laboratory test conditions.
Air shutter settings above may need to be revised to take into consideration
difference in resistances between conventional and balanced flue installations.
Use flue gas analyser to achieve optimum results.
Variations in nozzle throughput, flue type & draught, oil viscosity etc. may
give results differing from these laboratory performance figures.
