Introduction
Pleasereadtheseinstructionsand followthemcarefullyforthe
safe and economical use of your boiler.
The Micron series are fanned flue boilers designed to provide
central heating and indirect domestic hot water.
The boiler is fully automatic in operation having only one user
control, the temperature control.
WARNING. It is important that the case is not disturbed or
removed other than for servicing by a competent person.
Gas Leak or Fault
If a gas leak or fault exists or is suspected, the boiler must be
turned off, including the electrical supply and must not be used
until the fault has been put right.
Advice/helpshouldbeobtainedfromyourinstallation/servicing
company or the local gas undertaking.
Electrical Supply Failure
Failure of the electrical supply will cause the burner to go out.
Should this occur, operation of the appliance will normally
resume after the electrical supply is restored.
Note: If the boiler is switched OFF, manually, wait at least 30
seconds before switching on again.
Safety Temperature Limiter

protection which will cause the boiler when it is switched off at

in the boiler dropping to 6oC or 7oC. The boiler will switch off
again when the temperature of the water in the boiler reaches
about 15oC. This will only be fully effective if the external

Maintenance
To ensure the continued efficient and safe operation of the
boiler it is recommended that it is checked and serviced as
necessary at regular intervals. The frequency of servicing will
depend upon the particular installation conditions and usage,
but in general once a year should be enough.
If this appliance is installed in a rented property there is a duty
of care imposed on the owner of the property by the current
issue of The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations,
Section 35.
It is the law that any servicing is carried out by a competent
person.
To obtain service, please call your installer or Heatcall (Glow-
