5.1 GASSUPPLYINSTALLATION
Inspect the entire installation including the gas
meter,testforsoundnessandpurge.RefertoBS
6891 for specific instruction.
5.2 THE HEATING SYSTEM
The appliance contains components that may
becomedamaged orrenderedinoperablebyoils
and/or debris that are residual from the installa-
tion of the system, consequently it is essential
thatthesystembeflushedinaccordancewiththe
following instructions.
5.3 INITIAL FILLING OF THE SYSTEM
Ensure both flow and return service valves are
open, remove appliance casing as described in
4.7.1,identifytheautomaticairreleasevalveand
loosen the dust cap by turning the cap anti-
clockwise one full turn. IMPORTANT, THERE
ARE NO MANUAL AIR RELEASE VALVES LO-
CATEDONTHEAPPLIANCE.Ensureallmanual
air release valves located on the heating system
areclosed.Connectthefillingloop(notsupplied)
and slowly proceed to fill the system. As water
enters the system the pressure gauge will begin
torise.Oncethegaugehasreached1BARclose
the filling loop and begin venting all manual air
release valves, starting at the lowest first. It may

5.4 INITIAL FLUSHING
Thewholeoftheheatingsystemmustbeflushed
both cold and hot as detailed in 5.8. Open all
radiatoror heating valves and the appliance flow
& return service valves. Drain the boiler and
system from the lowest points. Open the drain
valve full bore to remove any installation debris
from the boiler prior to lighting. Refill the boiler
and heating system as described in 5.3.
5.5 FILLING THE HOT WATER SYSTEM
Close all hot water outlets, turn appliance stop-
cocktothenormal operating position (fullycoun-
ter clockwise), slowly open each outlet until air
hasbeenexpelledandclearwaterisdischarged.
Check pipe-work etc. for water soundness.
5.6 PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
Before attempting the initial lighting of the appli-
ance, the following checks must be carried out:
●ensureall gas service valves from the meterto
theapplianceareopenandthesupplypipehas
been properly purged
●ensure the proper electrical checks have been
carried out, (see 7.7) particularly continuity,
polarity and resistance to earth
●ensure the 3 AMP fuse - supplied with the
appliance - has been fitted
●ensure the system has been filled, vented and
the pressure set to 1 BAR
●ensurethefluesystemhasbeenfittedproperly
and in accordance with the instructions
●ensure all appliance service valves are open.
SECTION 5 COMMISSIONING
5.7 INITIALLIGHTING
Ensure the electrical supply to the appliance is
switched on. Move the selector switch to the
Heating & Hot Water position, ensure the time
clock is switched to an ‘ON’ position and ensure
any other external controls (room thermostat for
example) are also calling for heat.
The appliance will now operate in the mode as
described in 1.2. Should the appliance fail to
ignite, refer to 5.6 and/or section 7 (faultfinding).
5.7.1 CHECKINGTHEBURNERPRESSURE
Although the burner pressure is factory set, it is
necessarytocheckitduringcommissioning.Isolate
theappliancefromtheelectricalsupplyandattach
asuitablemanometertothegasvalveoutlettest-
point(seefig.14).Lighttheboilerasdescribedin
5.7, turn the Hot Water temperature selector to
maximum,andopenfullyaDHWoutlet(preferably
the bath), allowing the appliance to stabilise.
Comparethereadingon the manometer with the
value described in 2.3. If adjustment is required,
follow the detailed instructions in section 7 (7.3).
Oncetheburnerpressurehasbeenchecked,close
the DHW outlet, isolate the appliance from the
electrical supply, remove the manometer and
tighten the gas valve outlet test nipple.
5.8 FINAL FLUSHING OFTHE HEATING SYSTEM
The system shall be flushed in accordance with
BS 7593. Should a cleanser be used, it must be
