GENERAL NOTES  
To get the best from your boiler please  
read these instructions carefully.  
SEALED HEATING SYSTEMS  
CLEARANCES - VENTILATED  
COMPARTMENT  
This boiler is fitted to a sealed heating  
system which is pre-pressurised. Your  
installer will advise you of the minimum  
and maximum pressure which should be  
indicated on the pressure gauge.  
Your installer will have provided adequate  
space around the boiler for safety and  
servicing access. Do not restrict this  
space with the addition of cupboards,  
shelves etc. next to the boiler.  
Check regularly that the pressure is  
maintained and contact your installer or  
maintenance engineer if a permanent  
significant drop in pressure is indicated  
on the pressure gauge. If the system  
loses pressure it should be re-pressurised  
and the cause of the fall investigated.

CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEMS  
During the first few hours of operation of  
the central heating system, check that all  
radiators are being heated evenly. If the  
top of a radiator is at a lower temperature  
than the bottom then it should be vented  
by releasing air through the venting screw  
at the top of the radiator. Ask your

installer to show you how this is done.  
This boiler is fitted to a sealed system;  
repeated venting will reduce the quantity  
of water in the system and this must be  
replenished for safe and satisfactory  
operation of the boiler.

*600mm service clearance required to a fixed surface  
(**25mm from removable door or panel)  
Should water leaks be found in the  
system or if excessive venting is required,  
then a service engineer must be  
contacted to inspect the installation and  
rectify any fault.  
ROOM THERMOSTAT  
A room temperature controller and  
programmer should be fitted to control the  
central heating. Refer to the instructions  
supplied with the thermostat for  
Only additives that are compatible with  
aluminium may be used in the system. Any  
incompatible additive used will invalidate

information on siting and setting.  
THERMOSTATIC RADIATOR VALVES  
CONDENSATE DRAIN  
It is recommended that this type of valve is  
fitted to all but one of the radiators (or at  
least those in the sleeping  
accommodation). The remaining radiator,  
which must be where the room thermostat  
is located, should be un-controlled and  
must be left open. The thermostatic  
radiator valves should conform to the  
requirements of BS2767:10.  
This is a condensing boiler and the  
terminal will, at times give out a plume of  
water vapour. This is quite normal.  
The boiler also produces quantities of  
condensate which is discharged regularly  
by a syphon within the boiler via a pipe to  
drain. This pipe must not be blocked or  
altered in any way.

the compartment must be separated from  
the boiler space by a perforated non-  
combustible partition as described in BS  
6798.  
Notwithstanding the requirements of BS  
6798 and BS 5440 there is no need for  
ventilation openings to be provided in the  
compartment because of the low heat  
loss from the boiler casing, if the

Do not operate the boiler if the flue  
terminal fitted on the outside wall or roof  
is obstructed or damaged.  
PUMP ANTI-SEIZURE  
If there has been no heating demand for  
24 hours the boiler will run the system  
pump for a few seconds to reduce the  
possibility of pump seizure during long  
periods of inactivity, which is usually more  
frequent during the summer months.

TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING  
HEATING ECONOMICALLY  
The boiler is designed to provide a high level of comfort while keeping gas consumption  
and the resulting environmental effect as low as possible. The gas supply to the burner  
is controlled according to the level of demand for heat. The boiler continues to operate  
with a low flame if the demand for heat reduces. The technical term for this process is  
modulating control. Modulating control reduces temperature fluctuations and provides  
even distribution of heat throughout the home. This means that the boiler may stay on  
for relatively long periods but will use less gas than a boiler that continually switches on  
and off.  
CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEMS WITH ROOM THERMOSTATS/THERMOSTATIC  
RADIATOR VALVES  
The temperature control on the boiler should be set to the maximum rated temperature  
of the central heating system.  
The temperature of each room can be set individually (except primary room with the  
room thermostat) using the thermostatic radiator valves.  
ROOF INSULATION  
Around 30% of the heat loss from a property is through the roof. Replace any old  
insulation with new insulation, preferably of around 200mm thickness or more.  
WINDOW FRAMES  
Single glazed windows, particularly those with steel frames, can lose a great deal of  
heat. Consideration should be given to replacement with PVCu or wooden framed  
double glazed units.  
CURTAINS  
Lined curtains, or heavier full length curtains can provide excellent insulation. However,  
always ensure that the curtains do not drape over radiators.

8 716 115 169b (09/2008)  
TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING  
 
TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING  
DRAUGHTS  
Try to ensure that draughts around doors, windows, letterboxes and keyholes etc. are  
reduced by using a suitable draught excluder. Warning - Do not block or seal any air  
vents that are installed to ensure the central heating boiler operates safely.  
ROOM THERMOSTATS  
Reducing the setting of the room thermostat by 1°C can reduce fuel consumption by up  
to 10%.  
NEW CONTROL SYSTEMS  
Upgrade your heating control system if necessary with the latest equipment available.  
The minimum level of control is a programmer, interlocking room thermostat and  
thermostatic radiator valves.  
RADIATORS  
More often than not radiators will be sited underneath a window, so the warm air from  
the radiator heats the colder incoming air from the window. The performance of the  
radiator will be affected if the curtains are allowed to drape over the radiator or shelves  
are fitted above it. The positioning of furniture and tables in front of the radiator should  
also be avoided.  
It is advisable to manually adjust all radiator thermostatic valves every 2-3 months to  
prevent them sticking. It is also important that the plastic tops of all valves are always in  
position and not cracked or damaged to prevent accidents. Care should be taken when  
vacuum cleaning carpets to avoid damage to valves and pipework.  
The heating system and the outputs of the radiators have been carefully selected by  
your installer. The temperature obtainable in any given room is dependent on all  
radiators being operated at the same time. If you decide to turn off radiators in unused  
rooms, spare bedrooms etc., you may experience slightly lower room temperatures in  
rooms adjacent to unheated rooms.
