G.C. Appliance No. 47-930-03 Keston is a member of the Benchmark scheme and fully supports the aims of the programme. Benchmark has been introduced to improve the standards of installation and commissioning of central heating systems in the UK and to encourage the regular servicing of all central heating systems to ensure safety and efficiency.

The boiler will repeat the ignition sequence. INTRODUCTION The Keston 30C is a wall mounted, room sealed, condensing combination boiler, featuring full sequence automatic spark ignition and fan assisted combustion. Due to the high efficiency of the boiler, condensate is produced from the flue gases and this is drained to a suitable disposal point through a plastic waste pipe at the base of the boiler.
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY This appliance must be earthed. Supply: 230 V ~ 50 Hz. The fusing should be 3A. Important Notes • This appliance must not be operated without the casing correctly fitted and forming an adequate seal. • If the boiler is installed in a compartment then the compartment MUST NOT be used for storage purposes. •...

TO LIGHT THE BOILER. (REFER TO BOILER CONTROLS) If a programmer is fitted refer to separate instructions for the programmer before continuing. Check that the electricity supply to the boiler is off. Set the mains Off/Summer/Winter control (D) to ‘Off’. Set the Domestic Hot Water temperature control (B) and Central Heating temperature control (C) to ‘max’.
OPERATION Winter Mode - i.e. CH and DHW required. Ensure the off/summer/winter control (D) is set to winter ( The boiler will fire and supply heat to the radiators but will give priority to DHW on demand. The DHW preheat will operate as described under 'Summer conditions' during periods when there is no call for CH. Summer Mode - i.e.
C (147 The Keston 30C is a high efficiency combination boiler which is most efficient when operating in condensing mode. The boiler will operate in this mode if the CH temperature control (C) is set to the ‘e’ position (economy mode) or below. This control should be set to a maximum for very cold periods.
LOSS OF SYSTEM WATER PRESSURE The gauge (G) indicates the central heating system pressure. If the pressure is seen to fall below the original installation pressure of 1-2 bar over a period of time then a water leak may be indicated. In this event conduct the re-pressurising procedure as shown below.
CONDENSATE DRAIN The condensate drain (H) must not be modified or blocked. Blockage of the condensate drain, caused by debris or freezing, can cause automatic shutdown of the boiler. If freezing is suspected and the pipe run is accessible an attempt may be made to free the obstruction by pouring hot water over the exposed pipe and clearing any blockage from the end of the pipe.
POINTS FOR THE BOILER USER Note. In line with our current warranty policy we would ask that you check through the following guide to identify any problems external to the boiler prior to requesting a service engineers visit. Should the problem be found to be other than with the appliance we reserve the right to levy a charge for the visit, or for any pre-arranged visit where access is not gained by the engineer.
