2Minimiser - User's
The Minimiser 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 right
lower rear of the boiler. A condensate 'plume' will also
often be visible at the flue terminal.
GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE)
REGULATIONS, 1994.
In your own interest, and that of safety, it is the law
that this boiler must be installed by a CORGI
registered installer, in accordance with the above
regulations.
It is essential that the instructions in this booklet are
strictly followed, for safe and economical operation
of the boiler.
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
This appliance must be connected to the supply via a double-
pole switch, fused at 3 A.
TO LIGHT THE BOILER
(see illustration on page 3)
Access to the controls is made by swinging the controls pod
door downward.
If a programmer is fitted, refer to separate instructions for the
programmer before continuing.
1. Check that the electricity supply to the boiler is OFF.
2. Ensure that the gas and water supplies to the boiler are
OPEN and external controls are calling for heat.
3. Switch ON the electricity supply to the boiler at the mains
electricity supply socket.
4. Turn the boiler thermostat (B) to position 6.
5. Almost immediately the ignition electrode will operate and
the boiler will ignite.
6. Should the boiler fail to ignite, turn the boiler thermostat to
position 0, wait for 10 seconds then turn back to position 6.
7. Immediately after ignition the 'Burner on' neon (A) will
illuminate.
8. If the 'Burner on' neon (A) fails to light after repeated
attempts, switch off the electrical supply to the boiler and
consult a CORGI registered installer.
WARNING.
If no frost protection is provided and frost is likely during a
short absence from home, leave the room thermostat and
cylinder thermostat at a reduced setting.
For longer periods, the entire system should be drained -
including the domestic water supply and boiler heat
exchanger.
If the system includes a frost thermostat then, during cold
weather, the boiler should be turned OFF at the time
switch(es) ONLY.
The mains supply should be left switched ON.
TO SHUT DOWN THE BOILER
1. For short periods
Switch OFF the electrical supply to the boiler.
When heating is again required, restore supply to the
boiler.
2. For longer periods
Switch OFF the electrical supply to the boiler or, if a frost
thermostat is fitted, at the time switch.
IMPORTANT NOTES
THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE OPERATED WITHOUT
THE CASING CORRECTLY FITTED AND FORMING AN
ADEQUATE SEAL.
If the boiler is installed in a compartment then the
compartment MUST NOT be used for storage purposes.
Clearances of 145mm (7 3/4") above, 100mm (4") below, 5mm
(1/4") at the sides and 450mm (17 3/4") at the front of the

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.
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.
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 should be sought.
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.
