12.8 Instruct the User

● Demonstrate, then instruct the User about the lighting

procedure and heating system controls operation.
● Advise the user on the use and maintenance of any scale

reducer and pass on any relevant instructional documents.
● Advise that to ensure the continued efficient and safe

operation of the boiler it is recommended that it is checked

and serviced at regular intervals. The frequency of servicing

will depend upon the installation conditions and usage, but in

general, once a year should be enough.
● Draw attention, if applicable, to the current issue of the Gas

Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, Section 35, which

imposes a duty of care on all persons who let out any property

containing a gas appliance in the UK.
● The user shall not interfere with or adjust sealed

components.
● It is the Law that any servicing is carried out by a

competent person approved at the time by the Health and

Safety Executive.
● Advise the user that, like all condensing boilers this

appliance will produce a plume of condensation from the flue

terminal in cool weather. This is due to the high efficiency and

hence low flue gas temperature of the boiler.
● Advise the user of the precautions necessary to prevent

damage to the system, boiler and the building, in the event of

the heating system being out of use during frost or freezing

conditions.
● Advise the user that the permanent mains electrical supply

SHOULD NOT be switched off, as the built in frost protection

and pump/valve saver program will not operate.
● Advise the User if the mains electricity and gas are to be

turned off for any long periods during severe weather, it is

recommended that the whole system, including the boiler,

should be drained to avoid the risk of freezing.
NOTE: Contact your installation/servicing company as

draining, refilling and pressurising MUST be carried out by a

competent person approved at the time by the Health and

Safety Executive.
● Leave these instructions and the ‘Benchmark’ service

record with the user.
