INFORMATION FOR THE INSTALLER AND SERVICE ENGINEER.
Under Section 6 of The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, we are required to provide information on substances hazardous to
health.
REFRACTORY CERAMIC FIBRE
This product uses insulation material containing Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres.
Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract, consequently, it makes
sense to take care when handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.
To ensure that the release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum, during installation and servicing we recommend
thatyouuseaHEPAfilteredvacuumtoremoveanydustaccumulated inandaroundtheboilerbeforeandafterworkingontheboiler.
Whenreplacing these articleswe recommend thatthe replaced itemsare not brokenup, but aresealed within heavyduty polythene
bags, clearly labelled as RCF waste. This is not classified as “hazardous waste” and may be disposed of at a tipping site licensed
for the disposal of industrial waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles, but we recommend you follow
the normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area and always wash your hands before eating or drinking.
INSULATION PADS, GLASSYARN.
These can cause irritation to skin, eyes and the respiratory tract. If you have a history of skin complaint you may be susceptible to
irritation. High dust levels are usual only if the material is broken. Normal handling should not cause discomfort, but follow normal
good hygiene and wash your hands before eating, drinking or going to the lavatory. If you do suffer irritation of the eyes or severe
irritation to the skin seek medical attention.
THERMOSTATS
These contain very small amounts of xylene in the sealed phial and capillary. If broken, under normal circumstances the fluid does

Allow the system to reach maximum working temperature and
examine for water leaks.
The boiler should then be turned off and the system drained as
rapidly as possible whilst still hot.
Refill the system and vent and check for water soundness as
before.
6.6 Adjustment - All Systems
Whencommissioning the system the boilershouldfirst be fired
on full service, that is, central heating and domestic hot water.
The system should then be balanced, adjusting the pump and
lockshield valve as necessary. Having achieved a satisfactory
condition operate the boiler with the bypass fully closed on
minimum load, normally this will be central heating with one
radiator,inthemainliving area working. Thevalveshouldthen
be gradually opened to achieve a flow rate of 7.8L/min (1.7gal/
min).
Under no circumstances should this valve be left in the fully
closed position.
Operatetheboileragainonfullserviceandcheckthebalancing,
making further adjustments as necessary.
If thermostatic radiator valves are fitted care must be taken to
make sure adequate flow through the boiler when they close,
refer to the current issue of BS7478.
Do not attempt to adjust the thermostat calibration screw.
Test the boiler for spillage of the flue products at the draught
diverter as detailed in the current issue of BS5440 Part 1. See

8 Fault Finding
Remedy
Fault and Cause
8.1 Pilot Goes Out after a Period
of Remaining Alight
Front cover not correctly fitted. Fit parts correctly.
Flue parts not fitted or sealed properly. Seal cavity or fit flue parts correctly as described in
Installation Instructions.
Electrical supply failure causing
over heat device to operate. Relight pilot.
Pump incorrectly wired. Connect pump in accordance with diagram 5.2.
Overheat cutoff operating. Refer to Section 8.3.
8.2 Main Burner Will Not Light
External, remote controls not “On.” Check that any remote controls are calling for heat.
Control thermostat not on. Check control thermostat is in an “On” position, see also
Section 8.9.
Flue Blockage Safety Device tripped. Reset, refer to section 6
If Flue Blockage Safety Device repeatedly requires resetting, call a service engineer
8.3 Control Thermostat Will Not Cut Out
Control thermostat phial not fitted in pocket. Fit phial in pocket.
Faulty control thermostat. Replace control thermostat.
8.4 Overheat Cutoff Device
Cuts Out Prematurely
Air in heating body. Vent system. Alter system layout if necessary.
Water circulation low or stopped. Pump not functioning correctly. Check pump is
wire directly to the boiler. Alter system if necessary.
Overheat cutoff device operates before boiler
cycles on maximum control thermostat setting. Change faulty overheat cutoff device.
The correctly set overheat cutoff device operates
prematurely. There is no air in the heating body
and water circulation satisfactory. Change faulty heating body.
Pump not functioning correctly. Check pump is wire directly to the boiler.
Alter system if necessary.
8.5 Insufficient Heat
Control thermostat set too low. Increase setting.
Inlet gas pressure inadequate. Increase gas pressure.
Governor setting incorrect.
(make sure control thermostat is on maximum setting). Check burner pressure against data label.
Reset only if more than 10% away from required figure.
8.6 Appliance Noisy in Operation*
Overgassed. Check burner pressure against data label and adjust only if
more than 10% away from stated required figure.
Complete lack of water. Check system controls for correct installation or correct type
of controls.
Air in system. Remove air from system. When system is first commissioned
the air dissolved may take some time to boil out, therefore
attempts should be made to vent air during the first weeks of
the installation. Check venting of system, as air bubbles can
remain suspended in the water if system is not well vented.
Water flow rate. Check that flow rate is correct. Check that pump is correct
size and is correctly adjusted. Bypass not fitted or set
correctly.
* There remains on most boilers a residual noise more noticeable at high temperatures. Normal operation of the boiler over a period should remove most noise.
