THE GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS
1996. It is the law that all gas appliances are installed by a
registered person, in accordance with the above regulations.
Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to prosecu-
tion. It is in your own interest, and that of safety, to ensure
that the law is complied with.
It is essential that the appliance is correctly earthed.
An electricity supply of 240 V - 50 Hz fused at 3 A is
required.
Read these instructions carefully before attempting to oper-
ate the appliance.
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Sime “Super Mk.II” family is a fully automatic, wall mount-
ed, room sealed, fan assisted range of combination boilers.
When operating in winter mode, the appliance provides cen-
tral heating as required and produces instantaneous hot
water upon demand.
When operating in summer mode, the central heating is not
operational however the appliance continues to supply hot
water whenever it is required.
The heat output is automatically controlled by the fully modu-
lating gas valve (within its pre-set limits), and there are user
adjustable potentiometers to control the temperature of
both central heating and domestic hot water.
A pressure gauge is fitted and an overheat thermostat is
incorporated to protect against fault conditions.
1.2 APPLIANCE OPERATION
A demand of hot water will be sensed by the appliance
detecting water flow (providing that the flow rate is above 2
l/m - 0.5 gal/min).
The fan will start and the burner will light at full output. If the
draw off rate is near the maximum design flow rate the
appliance will run continuously at full output until a tap is
either turned off or the flow rate is reduced in which case
the heat output will reduce accordingly to maintain a steady
temperature.
Hot water is made available almost immediately at the appli-
ance outlet, but the final temperature and time taken for
the hot water to reach a tap depends upon the potentiome-
ter setting, the rate at which water is drawn off, and the
length of the pipe between the boiler and the tap.
When the tap is turned off, the appliance will revert to C.H.
mode (if set on winter position) otherwise the burner will be
extinguished pending the next demand for hot water.
1.3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.3.1 To light the appliance (see fig. 1)
– Check that the electricity supply is off and that the D.H.W.
isolation valve is in the open position (lever vertical). Check
that the gas supply is on.
– Turn the rotary switch (C) to SUMMER (water only) posi-
tion “ ”.
– Switch on the electricity supply and full open any D.H.W.
tap. The burner will light.
Check that the burner has lit by looking through the view-
ing window (F). If the burner fails to light, turn the rotary
switch to “ ” position and release it immediately; then
turn it to the SUMMER position: the burner should now
light. Turn off the tap.
– Check that the room thermostat and time clock are call-
ing for heat. Turn the heating potentiometer (D) to maxi-
Fig. 1

mum (fully clockwise).
– Turn the rotary switch to the WINTER position “ ” and
the burner will light to serve the heating load.
Set the required temperature for the C.H. and D.H.W. by
rotating the potentiometers (D - E) clockwise to increase
or anticlockwise to decrease the temperature.
NOTE: when operating in winter mode, priority is automati-
cally given to providing hot water when the demand arises.
1.3.2 To turn the appliance off (see fig. 1)
–For short periods:
Set the rotary switch (C) to OFF position. When required
restore the switch to the SUMMER or WINTER position
and turn on the D.H.W. isolation valve.
–For longer periods:
Set the rotary switch (C) to OFF position and isolate the
gas service cock.
When required restore the switch to the WINTER or
SUMMER position and turn on the D.H.W. isolation valve.
Do not isolate the mains electricity or gas supply if frost
stat is fitted and frost protection is required.
NOTE: when gas and electrical supplies must be turned
off, the entire system should be drained, including the
domestic water system.
1.4 MINIMUM CLEARANCES
The following MINIMUM CLEARANCES must be available for
servicing the appliance:
1.5 ROUTINE SERVICING
To ensure continued efficient operation of the appliance, it is
recommended that it is checked and serviced as necessary
at regular intervals.
The frequency of servicing will depend upon the particular
installation conditions and usage but in general once a year
should be adequate. It is the law that any service work must
be carried out by a registerd person (Gas Safe Register).
1.6 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.6.1 Appliance overheat thermostat
The appliance is fitted with a safety cut-out thermostat. In
the event of overheating this will interrupt the power supply
and prevent the appliance from functioning.
If this occurs, allow the appliance to cool, turn the rotary
switch to “ ” position and release it immediately, then turn it
back to the previous position.
If the cut-out condition is repeated, turn off the electrical sup-
ply and consult your installer or service engineer.
1.6.2 Pressure gauge
The gauge (A fig. 1) on the facia panel indicates the approxi-
mate system pressure.
If the normal running pressure is seen to decrease over a
period of time there is a water leak and you should consult
your installer or service engineer.
1.6.3 Electrical supply
The mains plug used must be a 3 pin type to BS1363, and
fused at 3 A. THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
