Advice to Users
Promax HE Store provides domestic hot water from a
high performance, high efficiency version of a
traditional storage cylinder. Whenever hot water is
used it is replaced by fresh cold water and, provided
this occurs when the programmer is in a ‘DHW ON’
period, the boiler will operate to raise it to the
temperature you have selected. This will take from a
few minutes to around 20 minutes, depending on how
much hot water has been drawn from the storage
cylinder. Please adjust the time and temperature
settings on the programmer according to your
experience of the boiler’s performance and your
household’s need for hot water.

3.1 Central Heating System Pressure
1. The normal operating water pressure is
between 1 and 2.5 bar (Fig. 1). If the pressure
exceeds 3 bar the safety pressure valve will
operate and a fault is indicated. Contact your
installer.
2. It may be necessary to repressurise the system
occasionally (Fig. 2). A filling device (the filling
loop) is fitted on the boiler itself.
3. The filling loop consists of two taps and a
separate metal braided hose pipe.
4. Only when repressurising should the hose be
connected between the two taps. No tools are
necessary for this, but ensure that the wing nuts
on the hose pipe ends are tightened onto the
taps.
5. Fully open one of the taps first, and then while
watching the pressure gauge, carefully open the
second tap.
6. When the needle on the gauge is indicating 1
or more, turn both taps off.
7. Disconnect the hose from the taps (a small
amount of water may be present) and remove it.
Keep the hose in a safe place for future use.
