THE BENCHMARK SERVICE INTERVAL RECORD MUST BE COMPLETED AFTER EACH SERVICE
Ideal Stelrad Group is a member of the Benchmark scheme and fully supports the aims of the
programme. Benchmark has been introduced to improve the standards of installation and commissioning
of central heating systems in the UK and to encourage the regular servicing of all central heating systems
to ensure safety and efciency.
Natural Gas only
Vogue Combination boiler

4
INTRODUCTION
The vogue is a wall mounted, room sealed, condensing combination boiler, featuring full sequence automatic spark ignition and
fan assisted combustion.
Due to the high efciency of the boiler, condensate is produced from the ue gases and this is drained to a suitable disposal point
through a plastic waste pipe at the base of the boiler. A condensate ‘plume’ will also be visible at the ue terminal.
The vogue is a combination boiler providing both central heating and instantaneous domestic hot water.
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 by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer, in
accordance with the above regulations.
In IE, the installation must be carried out by a Registered Gas Installer (RGII) and installed in accordance with the current edition
of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas Installations”, the current Building Regulations and reference should be made to the current ETCI
rules for electrical installation.
It is essential that the instructions in this booklet are strictly followed, for safe and economical operation of the boiler.
FOR ANY QUERIES PLEASE RING THE
IDEAL CONSUMER HELPLINE : 01482 498660
NOTE. BOILER RESET PROCEDURE -
To reset boiler, press button “r” on the control panel. The boiler will repeat the ignition sequence if a heat demand
is present

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.
• 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 Gas Safe Registered Engineer or in IE a Registered Gas Installer (RGII).
•Under NO circumstances should any of the sealed components on this appliance be used incorrectly or tampered with.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instructions concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
In cases of repeated or continuous shutdown a Gas Safe Registered Engineer or in IE a Registered Gas Installer (RGII) should
be called to investigate and rectify the condition causing this and carry out an operational test. Only the manufacturers original
parts should be used for replacement.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES
Clearances of 165mm (6 1/2”) above, 100mm (4”) below, 2.5mm (1/8”) at the sides and 450mm (17 3/4”) at the front of the
boiler casing must be allowed for servicing.
Bottom clearance
Bottom clearance after installation can be reduced to 5mm.
This must be obtained with an easily removable panel to provide the 100mm clearance required for servicing.

TO LIGHT THE BOILER. (REFER TO BOILER
CONTROLS)
If a programmer is tted refer to separate instructions for the
programmer before continuing.
1. Switch ON electricity to the boiler and check that all
external controls, e.g. programmer and room thermostat,
are ON.
2. Set the Domestic Hot Water temperature control (H) and
Central Heating temperature control (G) to ‘max’.
The boiler will commence the ignition sequence supplying heat
to the central heating, if required.
Note. In normal operation the boiler status display (A) will
display the boiler operation mode.
Boiler frost protection - boiler will re if temperature is less
than 5 degrees C.
During normal operation the burner on indicator (J) will remain
illuminated when the burner is lit.
If the boiler has not lit, after 5 ignition attempts, the following
screen will be displayed.
Ignition Lockout
Check other Gas Appliances work
If not, re-instate gas supply
Reset boiler by pressing r
If fault persists contact installer
Reset the boiler and the ignition sequence will be repeated.

OPERATION
CH and DHW required.
The boiler will re and supply heat to the radiators but will give
priority to DHW on demand.
If required the DHW preheat will operate as described on page
17 MENU OPERATION - Preheat, during periods when there
is no call for CH.
DHW only required.
Either set the heating control knob (G) to off - or,
Set the CH external controls to OFF.
Only if pre-heat is selected the boiler will re periodically for
a few seconds to maintain the DHW calorier in a pre-heated
condition. The average time period between firing is 90
minutes. This may vary considerably due to the surrounding
ambient temperature of the boiler.
The boiler will re whenever there is a demand for DHW.
The boiler preheat facility can be immobilised by selecting
preheat OFF (see page 17 MENU OPERATION - Preheat). This
will stop the boiler operating periodically for short periods. This
facility is primarily provided for boiler installations in a sensitive
area (i.e. bedroom etc.).
Note. If the pump and diverter valve have not operated in
the last 24 hours they will run briey to ensure they do not
become seized.
CONTROL OF WATER TEMPERATURE
Domestic Hot Water
The DHW temperature is limited by the boiler controls to
65oC maximum at low draw-off rate, adjustable via the DHW
temperature control (H).
Due to system variations and seasonal temperature uctuations
DHW ow rates/temperature rise will vary, requiring adjustment
at the draw off tap : the lower the rate the higher the
temperature, and vice versa.
Approx. hot water temperatures for the boiler thermostat
settings are:
Knob Setting Flow Temperature
Minimum 40ºC (104ºF)
Maximum 65ºC (149ºF)
Central Heating
The boiler controls the central heating radiator temperature
to a maximum of 80oC, adjustable via the CH temperature
control (G).
WEATHER COMPENSATION
When the Weather Compensation option is tted to the system
then the CH Temperature Control (G) becomes a method of
controlling room temperature. Turn the knob clockwise to
increase room temperature and anti-clockwise to decrease
room temperature. Once the desired setting has been
achieved, leave the knob in this position and the system will
automatically achieve the desired room temperature for all
outside weather conditions.

9
TO SHUT DOWN THE BOILER
Set the DHW temperature control knob to OFF.
TO RELIGHT THE BOILER
Repeat the procedure detailed in ‘To light the boiler’. Set the DHW temperature control knob to between min & max.
FROST PROTECTION
If no frost protection is provided and frost is likely during a short absence from home, leave the heating controls (if tted) at a
reduced temperature setting. For longer periods, the entire system should be drained.
If the system includes a frost thermostat then the timer can be left off (if tted). The mains supply should be left switched ON,
with the boiler thermostat left in the normal running position.
BOILER OVERHEAT PROTECTION
The boiler controls will shut down the boiler in the event of overheating. Should this occur, the following display will appear:
Overheat Lockout
Fill System to 1 Bar
Bleed Radiators, Rell System
Check Radiator Valves are Open
Reset Boiler by pressing r

LOSS OF SYSTEM WATER PRESSURE
The gauge (K ref page 6) indicates the central heating system
pressure. If the pressure is seen to fall below the original
installation pressure of 1-2 bar then conduct the re-pressurising
procedure as shown below. If unable to do so or if the pressure
continues to drop a Gas Safe Registered Engineer or in IE a
Registered Gas Installer (RGII) should be consulted.
THE BOILER WILL NOT OPERATE IF THE PRESSURE
HAS REDUCED TO LESS THAN 0.3 BAR UNDER THIS
CONDITION.
In this case the following display will appear:
To re-pressurise:
1. Ensure lling loop isolation valves are closed.
2. Remove the left hand caps.
3. Attach on the lling loop.
4. Turn the lling loop isolation valves to the open position.
The system will now ll.
5. Wait for pressure gauge to reach between1 to 2 bar.
6. Close the lling loop isolation valves.
7. Disconnect the lling loop at left hand side and angle
upwards.
8. Replace caps.
