Check that the gas, electricity and water are all turned on at
the main supply.
2.
Check that the time control, if fitted, is in an 'ON' period.
3.
Check that all the thermostats in the system are not on low
settings.

Overheat Limit Thermostat
The boiler is fitted with a safety thermostat to protect against
overheating of the water. Should the boiler fail to light, allow it to
cool and press the reset button. Access to the button is through
a hole in the underside of the controls cover, see illustration on
front page. If the problem persists, turn off the boiler and consult
your local Gas Region or Service Engineer.
NOTE: Interruption of the electrical supply to the boiler may
also cause the overheat limit thermostat to operate.
Having checked these points, run through the lighting procedure
once more and if the boiler still fails to light, call in your local
service engineer.
FROST PRECAUTIONS
If your boiler has to be shut down for several hours or more
during very cold weather, it may be in danger of freezing, due to
its position, i.e. it may be in an outhouse or part of the pipework
may be vulnerable to frost. To avoid freezing, various methods
of protection can be used:-
1
.
Insulation of the boiler and pipework, taking care not to
impede any ventilation or air supply.
2.
Completely draining the water system if not in use for long
periods. On a sealed system, draining and refilling must be
carried out by a competent person, e.g. your Service
Engineer.
NOTE:
Although the system can be emptied by using the drain-off taps
installed in the pipework around the system, to empty the boiler,
it is necessary to remove the drain tap which is situated within
the boiler case. This operation is best left to your Service
Engineer.
3.
Having a low limit thermostat fitted. Seek advice from your
installer.
NOTE:
If a low limit thermostat has been fitted, it cannot operate if the
boiler is completely shut down and the electricity is turned off. In
this instance, the system will have no protection and one of the
other methods must be used.
4.
Where no frost protection is provided it may be necessary
to run the boiler at low thermostat settings at times when it
would normally be shut off.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
BOILER CASING
The outside of the boiler casing can be wiped when necessary
by using a damp cloth to remove finger marks etc. Do not use
an abrasive as this may damage the casing finish.
