Control of water temperature
DOMESTIC HOT WATER
The domestic hot water draw-off temperature is normally limited
by the modulating gas control to approximately 60 oC at the
minimum water draw-off rate of about 3.5 litre/min. (0.75 g.p.m.).
It can be varied between 60 oC and 35 oC by adjusting the hot
water temperature control (C).
CENTRAL HEATING
The boiler modulating control automatically maintains the central
heating radiator temperature between 84 oC and 40 oC by
adjusting the variable heating temperature control (B).
If your system includes a room thermostat the heating
temperature control (B) may be left in its maximum position.
If your household includes very young or elderly people you may,
however, reduce this setting, for safety reasons.
To light the boiler (see illustration )
Summer Conditions - Domestic Hot Water Only
Set the main switch (A) to HOT WATER .
Note. Whenever domestic hot water is drawn off, the boiler will
fire to provide hot water at the tap.
Winter Conditions - Central Heating & Domestic Hot Water
Set the main switch (A) to HEATING & HOT WATER .
The boiler will fire and supply heat to the radiators but will give
priority to domestic hot water when required.
NOTE TO THE INSTALLER: LEAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE HOUSEHOLDER
Important Notes
1. THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE OPERATED WITHOUT
THE INNER FRONT SEALING PANEL BEING CORRECTLY
FITTED.
2. Compartment Installations
If the boiler is installed in a compartment then the
compartment MUST NOT be used for storage purposes.
Ventilation provided for boilers installed in compartments
MUST NOT be blocked, and a check should be made
periodically that the ventilation areas are free from any
obstruction.
3. If it is known or suspected that a fault exists on the boiler then
it MUST NOT BE USED until the fault has been corrected by
a CORGI registered installer.
Escape of gas
Should a gas leak or fault be suspected contact your local gas
supplier without delay.
Do NOT search for gas leaks with a naked flame.
Cleaning
For normal cleaning simply dust with a dry cloth.
To remove stubborn marks and stains use a damp cloth and mild
detergent.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials.
Maintenance
The appliance should be serviced at least once a year by a
CORGI registered installer.
IMPORTANT - DRAINING THE SYSTEM
It is not good practice to drain off radiators to decorate behind
them. In the case of sealed system boilers, such as this, it will
lower the system pressure AND MAY CAUSE THE BOILER TO
STOP WORKING.

Faults
A. No heating or hot water
Check that gas and electricity are available at the boiler and
that all switches are on.
Check that the system water pressure gauge (E) reads at
least 0.5 bar.
Check that the overheat thermostat has not tripped.
Remove cover and press button (D) to reset.
Turn the main switch (A) to OFF (O) position, wait 5 seconds
and return to desired setting.
B.Hot water but no heating
Check that the programmer and room thermostat (if fitted)
are both calling for heat.
C. Heating but no hot water
Check that cold water does flow out of the hot taps at a
minimum rate of 3.5 litres per minute (or 1 pint in 10
seconds or less).
If not, look for stop valves not fully open.
If these simple checks fail to solve the problem, or the
problem recurs, consult your service engineer.
To shut down the boiler
Set the main switch (A) to OFF (O).
When heating is again required, restore the switch to the HOT
WATER or HEATING & HOT WATER.
Frost
If no frost protection is provided and frost is likely during a short
absence from home, leave the heating control (B) at a reduced
temperature setting.
For longer periods, the entire system should be drained -
including the domestic water supply .
If the system includes a frost thermostat then, during cold
weather, the boiler should be turned OFF by selecting the OFF
programme at the time control.
The mains supply should be left switched ON.
If in doubt, ask your installer.
To relight the boiler
Repeat the procedure detailed in 'To light the boiler'.
