1. INTRODUCTION
The EVOMAX 2 is a wall mounted, room
sealed, super efcient condensing boiler
featuring full sequence automatic spark
ignition and fan assisted combustion.
Due to the very high efciency, condensate
is produced from the ue gases and this
is drained to a suitable disposal point
through the plastic waste pipe at the
bottom of the boiler. A condensate
‘plume’ will also often be visible at the
ue terminal.
SAFETY
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 suitably qualied
Gas Safe registered engineer or in IE a
competent person, in accordance with the
above regulations.
The appliance should be serviced at
least once a year by a suitably qualied
Gas Safe registered engineer or in IE a
competent person.
It is essential that the instructions in this
booklet are strictly followed, for safe and
economical operation of the boiler.
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
The appliance must be earthed.
Supply 230 V - 50 Hz, 4 Amp fuse.
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
• This appliance must not be operated
without
the casing correctly tted and forming
an adequate seal.
• 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,
condensate pipework, grilles or
openings in the boiler room, room
space or compartment that the
appliance is installed in, or the
passage of combustion and ventilation
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 suitably qualied Gas
Safe registered engineer or in IE a
competent person.
• Flammable materials must not
be placed in close proximity to
the appliance. Materials giving off
ammable vapours must not be stored
in the same room as the appliance.
• This appliance can
be used by children 8
years and above. Also
persons with reduced
physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and
knowledge, provided
they have been given
supervision or instruction
concerning use of the
appliance in a safe
way and understand
the hazards involved.
Children shall not play
with the appliance.
Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be
made by children without
supervision.
• Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
In cases of repeated or continuous shutdown
a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered
engineer or in IE a competent person
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 300mm (12”) below, 25mm
(1”) at the sides and 450mm (17 3/4”) at the
front of the boiler casing must be allowed
for servicing.

TO LIGHT THE BOILER
A. Stand alone boiler, or a master
boiler in a cascade, or a master
boiler with an extension module:
Set the operating mode in the plant
menu operating mode to: Automatic
Ensure that there is a demand
present on the boiler from the
external controls, depending upon the
conguration.
If there are no local heating or DHW
circuits, set the plant / operating mode
to: Day
If there are local heating circuits,
set one of them - heating circuits /
HC1 Boiler 1.1 or HC2 Boiler 1.2 /
Operating mode to: Day
If there is a local DHW circuit set the
DHW / Operating mode / DHW1 Boiler
1 to: Day
If there is an extension module
congured with Heating circuits or
DHW circuits set the Operating mode
to: Day
e.g. Heating circuits / Operating mode
/ HCx EMy.z
DHW / Operating mode / DHWx
EMy.z
Key: x is the Heating or DHW circuit
number, y is the Extension Module
designation and z its local Heating or
DHW circuit designation.
B. Slave Boiler in a Cascade:
Refer to the Installation manual.
The boiler will commence the ignition sequence, supplying heat to the system. Ensure that
the controls are then set to the operating mode required.
Note. Not all menus and options will be available depending upon the access level selected.
