GETTING STARTED

2.1 BEFORE SWITCHING ON

Before switching the appliance on please

familiarise yourself with:

●how to isolate the appliance from the gas,

water, and electricity supplies;

●how to check and top-up – if necessary – the

system water pressure;

●the time clock or programmer;

●any external thermostats and their functions;

●the appliance controls.

2.2 APPLIANCE CONTROLS (fig. 1)
