Installation sequence Commissioning and testing Before commissioning the appliance, the whole gas installation including the meter must be purged and tested for gas soundness in accordance with BS 6891: 1988. Danger Open all doors and windows; extinguish naked lights and do not smoke whilst purging the gas line.
Installation sequence Commissioning and testing (cont.) Note Additive combinations are permitted only if approved additive suppliers recom- mend it and always according to supplier´s dosage recommendation. It is essential that the procedure below is followed to ensure that all the air in the boiler heat exchanger and the system is completely vented prior to firing the appliance.

Installation sequence Commissioning and testing (cont.) Explain the function of the boiler safety controls and how to reset them. Emphasise that if cut-out per- sists, the boiler should be turned off and the installer or service engineer consulted. Stress the importance of an annual service by a registered heating engineer.
Service Instructions Routine Servicing Instructions To ensure continued efficient operation of the appliance, it is recommended that it is checked and serviced as necessary at regular intervals. The frequency of servicing will depend upon the particular installation conditions and usage but in general once a year should be adequate.
