Introduction
The is a wall mounted, room sealed, super efficient
condensing boiler featuring full sequence automatic spark
ignition and fan assisted combustion.
Due to the very high efficiency, condensate is produced from the
flue 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 flue 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 CORGI registered
installer or in IE a competent person, in accordance with the
above regulations.
The appliance should be serviced at least once a year by a
CORGI registered installer 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.

Minimum Clearances
Clearances of 300mm (12") below, 50mm (2") at the sides and
450mm (17 3/4") 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 burner on/off switch (A) to off.
3. Switch on the electricity supply to the boiler and check that all
external controls, e.g. programmer, room thermostat, etc are
on. Allow the boiler to carry out a self check.
4. Set the burner on/off switch (A) to ON.

1 BOILER CONTROLS / DISPLAY
In normal operation the display (C) shows the boiler status
(see table above) and the water system flow temperature.
Blocking Mode
The boiler will enter blocking mode under certain fault
conditions. Whilst in blocking mode the burner is switched off.
Once the fault conditions are clear the boiler will automatically
reset itself. In blocking mode the display will alternate
between showing a '9' in digit one, along with the flow
temperature in digits 2, 3 and 4 e.g.
Followed by the blocking code 'bxx'.
Error Mode
In error mode the display will flash on and off with the error
code shown.
9 9 6
6 1 8
The boiler will enter error mode under certain fault conditions.
The unit will be inoperative until the fault is rectified. The reset
button is used to reset the boiler control module after an error
has occurred.
Self Check and Anti-Seize Modes
After switching on the mains power or after a reset, the boiler
performs a selfcheck. i.e. the DHW valve (if connected) is
energised and the pump is switched on for 10 seconds. This
cycle repeats itself every 24hrs, as long as no heat request is
given in 24hrs.
Burner on/off Switch
With the burner switch set to 'off' the boiler will not respond to a
heat demand. However, it will respond to a DHW demand and
the pump anti-seize and frost protection modes are still
operational any one of which could cause the boiler to fire.
Note. The burner switch is NOT a mains isolation switch.
CH/DHW Systems
In standby mode pressing and holding the '+' button turns the
CH system on/off.
In standby mode pressing and holding the '-' button turns the
DHW system on/off.

To shut Down the Boiler
1. For short periods
Set the external controls to OFF. Wait 10 minutes and then
isolate the mains supply to the boiler.
2. For longer periods
Set the burner on/off switch (A) 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
The boiler has built into its control system the facility to
protect the boiler only against freezing.
Note.
This may not protect remote parts of the system, in which case
a separate frost thermostat should be fitted.
Boiler Overheat Thermostat
Boiler overheating is detected by electrical sensors connected
to the boiler control module. If the boiler overheats it will shut
down and the display will show E18. Press the reset button
(D) and the boiler will relight. If the fault recurs turn off the
boiler and consult a CORGI registered installer or in IE a
competent person.
Condensate Drain
The condensate drain must not be modified or blocked.
Blockage of the condensate drain, caused by debris or freezing,
can cause automatic shutdown of the boiler or leakage from the
condensate trap mounted on the bottom of the boiler.
If freezing is suspected and the pipe run is accessible an
attempt may be made to free the obstruction by pouring hot
water over the exposed pipe and clearing any blockage from the
end of the pipe. If this fails to remedy the problem the
assistance of a CORGI registered installer or in IE a competent
person should be sought.
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.
