3.1 Central Heating System Pressure
1. The water pressure in the central heating system is
indicated by the pressure gauge.
2. With the system cold and the boiler not operating the
pressure should be at least 0.5 bar. During operation the
pressure should not exceed 2.5 bar, and will normally be
between 1.0 and 2.0 (Fig. 1).
3. A pressure of 3 or greater indicates a fault. The safety
pressure relief valve will operate at a pressure of 3 (Fig. 3). It
is important that your Installer or Service Engineer is
contacted as soon as possible.
4. The minimum pressure for correct operation is 0.5. If the
pressure falls below 0.5, this may indicate a leak on the
central heating system (Fig. 2).
3.2 To Repressurise the System
1. The procedure is for the optional filling loop kit when
fitted. However, even if your boiler has an external loop, the
principle is similar.
2. Look at the boiler from underneath. There will be two taps
at the end of copper pipes, one with a blanking cap on the
end. Do not operate these taps yet.
3. Your installer will have left a metal braided hose (the ‘filling
loop’) with you for safe keeping.
4. This loop MUST be connected to the taps. Remove the
blanking cap and set aside.
5. Connect the loop to the taps with the wing nuts. These
should be hand tightened.
6. Carefully open the handles on both taps and check the
boiler pressure gauge. Once the needle on the gauge is
above the 0.5 mark both taps can be closed.
7. Undo the two wing nuts, remove the loop and refit the
blanking cap. Put the loop in a safe place for future use.

4.0 Fault Indication

© Baxi Heating UK Ltd 2011
4.1 Fault Indication
1. Your Potterton Performa 24 Eco HE has three neon
indicators. The upper two function as boiler on and fault
indicators.
2. Depending on the nature of the fault the upper two neons
will illuminate, go off or flash.
3. There are five possible combinations, each indicating one
or more fault conditions. These are described below.
A
The flue or flue terminal is blocked or obstructed in some
way, or there is an internal fault.
If there is no external blockage of the flue that can be easily
removed contact your Installer or Service Engineer.
B
The circulating pump is faulty or the system pressure has
dropped. Check the system pressure (see page 7). If the
pressure is in the normal range a pump fault is indicated.
Contact your Installer or Service Engineer.
C
A fault on the boiler temperature sensor is indicated. Contact
your Installer or Service Engineer.
D
The primary system or the boiler has overheated. Allow the
boiler to cool. Turn the selector switch fully anti-clockwise
against the spring pressure to the ‘Reset’ position and hold for
at least 2 seconds.
If this occurs repeatedly contact your Installer or Service
Engineer.
If the boiler does not relight after resetting it is possible that
the flue has overheated. Contact your Installer or Service
Engineer.
E
The burner has failed to light, or incomplete lighting of the
burner has occurred. Turn the selector switch fully anti-
clockwise against the spring pressure to the ‘Reset’ position
and hold for at least 2 seconds.
If this occurs repeatedly contact your Installer or Service
Engineer.
If the boiler does not relight after resetting blockage of the
condensate drain or trap has occurred. Contact your Installer
or Service Engineer.

see *NOTE: 5.1 For your Safety
1. This appliance must have been installed in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions and the regulations
in force.
2. Any modification that may interfere with the normal
operation of the appliance without express written
permission from the manufacturer or his agent could
invalidate the appliance warranty. In GB this could also
infringe the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations.
3. Your boiler must not be operated without the casing
correctly fitted.
4. Do not interfere with any sealed components on this
boiler.
5. Take note of any warning labels on your boiler.
6. Your boiler should have the following minimum
clearances for Safety and Maintenance
(Fig. 34):-
Top - 200mm
Bottom - 200mm
Left side - 5mm
Right Side - 5mm
Front - 5mm (In Operation)
- 450mm (For Servicing)
* NOTE: The boiler can be operated with a
clearance of 5mm at the right. This is also sufficient
for routine maintenance. However a clearance of
20mm is required if it is necessary to remove the
secondary heat exchanger. This should be considered
when siting the appliance and in the event of any
subsequent alteration in the area of installation.
7. If your boiler is installed in a compartment, do not use
it for storage purposes. Do not obstruct any purpose
provided ventilation openings.
8. Flammable materials must not be stored in close
proximity to your boiler.
9. Avoid skin contact when your boiler is in operation, as
some surfaces may get hot e.g. pipework.
10. Ensure that the flue terminal, outside the house,
does not become damaged or obstructed, particularly
by foliage.
11. It is important that the condensate drain system is
not blocked, modified or damaged in any way as this
would affect the operation of your boiler. Your installer
should have insulated any exposed pipework.
5.2 Cleaning the Outer case
The painted panels should be wiped with a damp cloth
and then dried completely. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE
CLEANING AGENTS.
