INTRODUCTION
The Buccaneer GTE is a floor-standing boiler featuring full
sequence automatic gas or fuel oil burner.
SAFETY
It is essential that the instructions in this booklet are
strictly followed, for safe and economical operation of the
boiler.
FOR GAS FIRED BOILERS
Current Gas Safety (Installation & Use)
Regulations or rules in force.
In your own interest, and that of safety, it is the law that this
boiler must be installed and maintained by a CORGI registered
installer, in accordance with the above regulations.
The appliance should be serviced at least once a year by a
CORGI registered installer.
Electricity Supply
The appliance must be earthed.
Supply 230 V - 50 Hz.
This appliance is intended to be connected to the supply via a
double-pole switch, having a 3mm contact separation in both
poles, serving only the boiler and system controls.
Alternatively, a 3-pin UNSWITCHED socket may be used.
Important Notes
• If the boiler is installed in a compartment then the
compartment MUST NOT be used for storage purposes.
• Do not store objects around or on the boiler, and keep access
clear at all times.
• Do not obstruct ventilation ducts, grilles or openings in the
boiler room, room space or compartment that the appliance is
installed in, or the passage of combustion and ventilation air
to the boiler.
• Do not turn off the boiler if it is to be left unattended in frosty
weather.
• If it is known or suspected that a fault exists on the boiler then
it MUST NOT BE USED until the fault has been corrected by a
recognised installer (CORGI registered for gas-fired boilers).
• Flammable materials must not be placed in close proximity to
the appliance. Materials giving off flammable vapours must
not be stored in the same room as the appliance.
In cases of repeated or continuous shutdown, a recognised
installer (CORGI registered for gas-fired boilers) should be called
to investigate and rectify the condition causing this and carry out
an operational test after each intervention on the device. Only the
manufacturers original parts should be used for replacement.
Minimum Clearances
Clearances of 500mm (20") at the rear, 500mm (20") at the
sides and 1000mm (40") at the front of the boiler casing must be
allowed for servicing.
To Light the Boiler (Refer to Frame 1)
1. CHECK THAT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY TO THE BOILER
IS OFF.
2. Set the boiler on/off switch (1) to off.
3. Set the boiler flow control (7) and DHW temperature control
(10) to maximum.
4. Switch on the electricity supply to the boiler and check that all
external controls, e.g. programmer, room thermostat etc. are
on and the Summer/Winter switch (3) is set to Winter.
5. Set the boiler on/off switch (1) to ON.
The boiler will commence the ignition sequence, supplying
heat to the system when required.
Note. If the burner does not ignite refer to the burner
instructions.
6. Set the boiler flow control (7) and DHW temperature control
(10) (combination boilers or if optional DHW sensor fitted), to
the desired settings.
Settings below 4 (approx. 400C) are not recommended, in
order to avoid the risk of combustion products condensing on
the walls of the boiler.
7. Burner
Refer to the instructions supplied with the burner for specific
control features.

Notes for items 9 & 10 only.
Combination boilers or those fitted with a DHW sensor. When the system
is switched on it performs an air elimination sequence of the hot water
calorifier lasting for 1 minute, by intermittently operating the DHW load
pump and the CH pump. This air elimination sequence is de-activated if
the calorifier temperature is more than 250C
Summer/Winter Switch. If DHW has been in demand, a delay of approx. 1
minute will occur for the change from the DHW pump to the CH pump, after
the changeover to Winter mode.

3 DISPLAY FEATURES
Central Heating only
The green Heating LED illuminates and the
display indicates boiler flow temperature.
Central Heating & DHW
(combination boilers or those fitted with a DHW sensor)
Green LEDs for both boiler flow and DHW temperature
illuminate alternately, as shown, and the display shows the
appropriate boiler flow and DHW temperatures.
DHW temp
Ctrl. Position Approx. Temp.
1. Boiler flow temperature (CH) 3 to 9 300C to 900C
2. DHW (combi boilers or those fitted with DHW sensor) 1 to 8 100C to 800C
2 CONTROL OF WATER TEMPERATURES
The water temperature may be controlled by the following control settings:
Note.
In DHW mode the boiler flow
temperature will automatically
be controlled by the DHW
temperature limiter.
Settings below positions 4 (CH) and 6 (DHW) are NOT RECOMMENDED.

Notes
Probable Cause
The corresponding
sensor circuit is
interrupted or is short
circuited
If the power supply is interrupted with
an alarm and no corrective action
is taken then, when the power is
resumed, the boiler will restart but
continue to operate in a CH mode only
and alarm will NOT be displayed.
The titanium anode is
open circuit or the
calorifier is empty
The titanium anode
has a short circuit or
the connections are
wrong
(+ve to -ve or vice versa)
The DHW may be reactivated for 24 hours
by disconnecting and reconnecting the
power supply to the boiler.
If the titanium anode is faulty the
calorifier will no longer be protected. It
is therefore absolutely vital to inform
the installer or engineer in charge of
maintaining the boiler.
If the calorifier is not fitted with a
titanium anode check that the
connector supplied in the AD 212 kit,
which has a 22Ohm resistance and a
100nF capacitor fitted, is correctly
connected to terminals 25 and 26.

MESSAGES - ALARMS The display may show the following messages in the case of a malfunction:
To Shut Down the Boiler
1. For short periods
Set the boiler on/off switch (1) to OFF.
2. For longer periods
Set the boiler on/off switch (1) to OFF. Switch the electricity
supply to OFF. For longer periods the entire system should
be drained, including the domestic hot water supply.
To Relight the Boiler
Refill the system if it has been drained, taking care to ensure
no air is in the boiler or system.
Repeat the procedure detailed in 'To light the boiler'.
Frost Protection
If frost is likely, leave the boiler thermostat at a reduced
temperature setting. Ensure external controls allow the boiler
to operate if necessary. Note that this may not protect remote
parts of the system, in which case a separate frost thermostat
should be fitted or the system drained and the boiler shut down,
as for Long Periods.
Boiler Overheat Thermostat
Boiler overheating is detected by the overheat thermostat
connected to the boiler control module. If the boiler overheats, it
will shut down the burner but the circulating pump will continue to
run. The display may show until the water cools. Press
the safety thermostat reset button, under the screw top cap (5),
and the burner will relight. If the fault recurs, turn off the boiler
and consult a recognised installer (CORGI registered for gas-
fired boilers.)
Escape of Gas
Should a gas leak or fault be suspected contact your local gas
supplier without delay.
Do NOT search for gas leaks with a naked flame.
Cleaning
For normal cleaning simply dust with a dry cloth.
To remove stubborn marks and stains use a damp cloth and
mild detergent.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials.
