CONTROL OF CH TEMPERATURE

The output temperature of CH water is adjustable from a

minimum of about 38°C to a maximum of about 85°C by

turning the knob C.

CONTROL OF DHW TEMPERATURE

The temperature of the DHW leaving the boiler can be varied

from a minimum of about 35°C to a maximum of about 55°C

(within the power limits of the appliance) by turning the

temperature control knob B.

Adjustment of the DHW temperature is completely separate

from that of the CH circuit.

The adjustment system integrated within the boiler

automatically controls the flow of gas to the burner in order to

keep the temperature of DHW delivered constant, between

the limits of maximum and minimum output.

Where the demand is at a low level or with the temperature

set to the minimum, it is normal to see a cycle of lighting and

extinguishing of the burner when running.

Adjustment

It is advisable to adjust the DHW temperature to a level

commensurate with the demand, minimising the need to mix

with cold water. In this way, the automatic control facilities will

be fully exploited.

Moreover, where the amount of limescale present in the water

may be particularly great, not exceeding the position as

shown in the following illustration (about 50 ûC) minimises

annoying incidences of scale deposits and clogging.

B

In these cases, however, it is advisable to install a small water

treatment device. With such a device you should avoid

periodic descaling.
Consequently, the DHW heat exchanger will keep its

performance consistent for a longer period of time with

resulting gas savings.

TO SHUT DOWN THE BOILER

For short periods
To turn the boiler off set the function selector C to the

O

position. The appliance operation light A will flash every 4

seconds.
For long periods
When you do not expect to use the boiler for a long period:
1 Switch the electricity supply off.
2 Shut off the gas supply cock and the valves for the water

circuits fitted under the boiler.

3 If necessary, empty the water circuits.

FROST PROTECTION

This appliance is provided with a built in anti---freeze system

that operates the boiler when the temperature is below 5 ûC

Therefore, when the boiler is not lit and used in cold weather,

with consequent risk of freezing

do not isolate the boiler

from the electricity supply or close the gas inlet cock.

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.

FAULTS

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 G reads at least

0,5 bar.
Check the lock---out signal lamp E. If it is illuminated press the

boiler reset button D to restart the ignition sequence.
Hot water but no heating
Check that the programmer and room thermostat (if fitted) are

both calling for heat.
Heating but no hot water
Check that cold water flows out of the 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.
