2.1 Introduction
1. Your Potterton Osprey 2 CFL is a gas fired,
open flue, floor standing boiler. The boiler can be
used to supply hot water for central heating, and
domestic hot water when used in conjunction with
an indirect cylinder.
2. The boiler is designed for use on fully pumped
open vented or sealed systems. It can be used on
Natural Gas (G20) only.
3. Instructions for use can also be found behind
the boiler front panel (Fig. 1).
2.2 Operating the Boiler
1. Ensure that the gas and electricity supplies are
turned on and that all timers, thermostats etc. are
calling for heat.
2. The Power On neon should be illuminated.
3. Push the On/Off button in. The button will
illuminate and the ignition sequence will start.
4. The pilot flame will light followed by the main
burner. This is indicated by the Burner On neon
illuminating.
5. The optimum setting of the boiler temperature
control depends upon type of system, external
controls and your requirements. Your Installer will
be able to advise you on this matter.
2.3 Flame Failure
1. If at any time the burner is extinguished while
there is still a demand for the boiler to operate the
Flame Failure neon will illuminate. The Burner On
neon will extinguish.
2. Pressing the Flame Failure reset button will
restart the ignition sequence.
3. If the Flame Failure neon illuminates repeatedly
a fault is indicated. Your Service Engineer should
be contacted as soon as possible.
2.4 Boiler Safety Overheat Thermostat
1. The boiler is fitted with an additional safety
device, which shuts down the boiler in the event of
the system or the boiler overheating.
2. If the device operates, the Boiler Safety
Overheat neon will illuminate and the boiler will
shut down.
3. Unscrew the cap off the Boiler Safety Overheat
Reset. Press the reset button to restart the ignition
sequence.
4. If the Boiler Safety Overheat neon illuminates
repeatedly a fault is indicated. Your Service
Engineer should be contacted as soon as
possible.

2.5 Flue Safety Thermostat
1. The boiler is fitted with a safety thermostat in
the flue draught diverter.
2. If the flue becomes blocked or is subjected to
adverse conditions the safety thermostat will
operate and shut down the boiler. The Burner On
neon will extinguish.
Note: The Flame Failure neon and Boiler
Safety Overheat neon will not illuminate if
the Flue Safety Thermostat is activated.
After approximately 10 minutes the boiler
will relight if there is still a demand for heat.
3. If the blockage or adverse condition persists the
safety thermostat will continue to operate and
cycle the boiler on and off. As a result the boiler
may not be able to supply adequate hot water for
heating and/or domestic purposes.
4. Under normal circumstances the boiler will cycle
on and off as dictated by the Temperature Control
Thermostat. If the cycling appears to be excessive
with long periods where the boiler is off and the
heating/hot water performance is diminished turn
the boiler off and contact your Service Engineer as
soon as possible.
2.6 To Shut Off the Boiler
1. For short periods: Press the On/Off Button so
that it is not illuminated.
2. For longer periods: Turn off the electricity and
gas supplies.
If your home is to be left unoccupied for long
periods during cold weather the boiler and
whole system should be drained unless there is
additional frost protection.
3. Your Installer will advise you about frost
protection and draining the system.

3.0 Clearances & Ventilation
IMPORTANT - If the boiler is not already in a
compartment and you wish to enclose it
consult your installer before commencing any
work. Specific details of compartments and
their ventilation are included in the Installation
Instructions, and reference made to the
relevant British Standards.
3.1 Clearances around the Boiler
(Figs. 3 & 4)
1. The minimum clear spaces needed around
the boiler measured from the casing are as
follows:-
Top - 700mm
Sides - 150mm
Front - 700mm
Rear - 200mm
2. These areas must not be obstructed in any
way. Blocking the clearance spaces may
result in the boiler overheating and damage
may occur. The ventilation will also be
affected (see below).
3. Any combustible material must be at least
25mm from the flue pipe at any point along the
length of the pipe.
4. Any compartment should be large enough to
house the boiler and ancillary equipment only
providing that the minimum clearances are
adhered to.
IT SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A STORAGE
CUPBOARD.
3.2 Ventilation
1. The Osprey 2 CFL is an open flue appliance
that takes air for combustion from the room or
compartment in which it is installed (Note: Only
125 & 150 models can be fitted in
conventional compartments. 180 & 220
models have special requirements).
2. The room or compartment will incorporate air
vents which must not be blocked or obstructed in
any way. If these vents do not communicate
directly with outside there will be further vents in
adjoining rooms. These vents must also not be
blocked or obstructed.
3. Details of ventilation requirements are given in
the Installation and Servicing Instructions.
4. If any building work or alterations are carried
out that may affect the ventilation consult your
Installer who will advise if further vents are
required.
