IMPORTANT.
Before lighting the boiler you should note especially that:
a. To extract maximum heat from the boiler, a 2 minute
pump overrun period occurs after each heating cycle
(unless immediately followed by DHW draw off).
b. During this period the boiler will not restart for CH,
even if the room thermostat is calling - this prevents
short cycling and thus is more efficient.
c.
The 2 minute period can be curtailed by running a hot
tap for a few seconds or turning the mains off briefly.
d. At the end of each period of DHW draw-off the pump
will run for few seconds, to extract the residual heat
from the heat exchanger.
e.
Provided that the mains supply switches are left ON,
the pump will run for at least 30 seconds each day
(even if neither CH nor DHW is in use), as a self-
checking measure.
1. Check that all the drain cocks are closed and any valves in
the flow and return are open. Open the dust cap on the
auto air air vent (see page 4) by one turn.
2. Check that the system has been filled and pressurised (see
table 6) and that the boiler is not air locked.
3. Check that the overheat thermostat (I) is calling for heat -
press the reset button.
4. Remove boiler front panel - refer to Frame 48.
5. Remove the screw in the burner pressure test point (E)
located behind the lower front panel - and connect a gas
pressure gauge via a flexible tube.
Be sure to select the correct pressure test point. Refer to
Tables 2 & 3 on page 3 for pressures.
