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 RESTART PROCEDURE -
To restart the boiler, press “RESTART” hot key located below the colour screen. The appliance will now 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 manufacturer’s original
parts should be used for replacement.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES
Clearances of 165mm above, 100mm below, 2.5mm at the sides. The minimum front clearance when built in to a cupboard is
5mm from the cupboard door but 450mm overall clearance is still required, with the cupboard door open, to allow 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 (F) and
Central Heating temperature control (E) to ‘max’.
The boiler will commence the ignition sequence supplying heat
to the central heating, if required.
Note. In normal operation the boiler colour screen 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 (C) 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 pre-payment meter check credit
If not, contact gas supplier
Restart boiler.
If fault persists contact installer

Restart the boiler and the ignition sequence will be repeated.

OPERATION
Central Heating and Domestic Hot Water required.
The boiler will re and supply heat to the radiators but will give
priority to Domestic Hot Water on demand.
If required the Domestic Hot Water preheat will operate as
described on page 17 MENU OPERATION - Preheat, during
periods when there is no call for CH.
Domestic Hot Water only required.
Either set the Central Heating temperature control knob (E)
to ‘off’ - or,
Set the Central Heating external controls to off.
Only if pre-heat is selected the boiler will re periodically for a
few seconds to maintain the Domestic Hot Water calorier in
a pre-heated condition. The pre-heat will take place only once
in a 30 minute time interval. This may vary considerably due to
the surrounding ambient temperature of the boiler.
The boiler will re whenever there is a demand for Domestic
Hot Water.
The boiler preheat facility can be immobilised, refer to page 20.
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 Domestic Hot
Water temperature control knob (F).
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:
Domestic Hot Water Knob Setting Flow Temp
Minimum 40ºC
Maximum 65ºC
Central Heating
The boiler controls the central heating radiator temperature
to a maximum of 80oC, adjustable via the CH temperature
control knob (E).
Central Heating Knob Setting Flow Temp
Minimum 30ºC
Maximum 80ºC

WEATHER COMPENSATION
When the Weather Compensation option is fitted to the
system then the Central Heating Temperature Control knob
(E) 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.
TO SHUT DOWN THE BOILER
Set the Domestic Hot Water temperature control knob (F) to
‘boiler off’.
TO RESTART THE BOILER
Repeat the procedure detailed in ‘To light the boiler’ (refer to
page 7). Set the Domestic Hot Water temperature control
knob (F) to between 40ºC & 65ºC, refer to colour screen
whilst adjusting.
FROST PROTECTION
If no frost protection is provided and frost is likely during a short
absence from home, leave the heating controls 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. 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
With boiler o & system cold fill System to 1.0 Bar
Bleed radiators and refill system to 1.0 Bar
Check radiator valves are open.
Restart boiler.

LOSS OF SYSTEM WATER PRESSURE
The pressure gauge (G) indicates the central heating system pressure. If the pressure is seen to fall below the original installation
pressure of 1.0 & 1.5 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 0.5 BAR UNDER THIS CONDITION.
In this case the following display will appear:
