Warm-up cycle of the appliance through the flue tubes d; flue baffles e are located in the flue tubes. These delay the transport of the flue gases, which has the effect of improving efficiency. The flue gases leave the appliance via the draught diverter b. A radiation shield/condensation tray k is fitted under the burner tray.
Operating the appliance 2.4.1 Water temperature protection The burner controller uses the frost, maximum and safety thermostat to monitor three temperatures that are important in terms of safety. Table 2.1 Table 2.1 Temperature protection Protection Description Frost thermostat If the frost thermostat sensor y measures a temperature of 20°C or lower, the appliance's warm-up cycle is started.
Safety of the installation 2.5.2 Vented installation (open) With a vented installation, excess pressure is taken up by the open water reservoir. The level of the water reservoir determines the maximum working pressure in the tank, which may not exceed 8 bar. The installation must also be fitted with an overflow from the hot water pipe that empties into the water reservoir.

Installation Water connections Unvented 3.6.1 Cold water side See a in Figure 3.2. 1. On the cold water side fit an approved stop valve i in accordance with the regulations in force. See also paragraph ’1.3 Regulations’. 2. The maximum working pressure of the appliance is 8 bar. Because the pressure in the water pipe might sometimes be higher than 8 bar, you will have to fit an approved pressure pressure reduction valve a.
Water connections Vented 3.6.5 Circulation pipe See c in Figure 3.2. and Figure 3.3. If you wish to have hot water at hot water draw-off points immediately, a circulation pump can be installed. This increases ease of use and prevents water spillage.
Installation 3.7.4 Circulation pipe See c in Figure 3.2. If you wish to have hot water at hot water draw-off points immediately, a circulation pump can be installed. This increases ease of use and prevents water spillage. 1. Fit a circulation pump f of a capacity corresponding with the size and resistance of the circulation system.
Flue gas outlet 3.9.1 Introduction When connecting the appliance to the flue gas outlet duct one must use the draught diverter a that is supplied. The standard flue gas thermostat and sensor that are supplied should be fitted in the draught diverter.
Installation 3.9.3 Flue gas thermostat assembly The flue gas thermostat sensor is already mounted in the draught diverter. The bracket with thermostat needs to be mounted on the top of the unit and the cable from the thermostat needs to be connected with the connector on the unit. Warning If the flue gas thermostat is not (or is incorrectly) fitted/connected, the flue gas outlet will not be protected.
Electrical connection 3.10 Electrical connection Warning The installation should be carried out by an approved installer in accordance with the general and local regulations in force of gas, water supply and power supply companies and the fire brigade. See also paragraph ’1.3 Regulations’.
