Servicing


Ensure that the service engineer completes the Service Record in the Benchmark Checklist after each service.

The Service Record can be found at the rear of the appliance's Installation and Maintenance Instructions. It will be required in the event of any guarantee work and may be required by the local Building Control Inspector.

  • To ensure the continued safe, reliable and environmentally optimum operation of the boiler, it must be thoroughly serviced annually by a competent, qualified person, such as a Worcester service engineer, British Gas engineer or other Gas Safe registered engineer. In the Republic of Ireland servicing work must be carried out by a Worcester service engineer or other Registered Gas Installer (RGII).
    • Having a contract covering annual servicing, cleaning and maintenance is a good way to ensure this is not missed.
    • It is important that any required maintenance or repairs are carried out without delay.
  • Ensure that the service engineer completes the Service Record, at the rear of the Installation and Maintenance Instructions manual, after each service.
  • Have any work carried out by a competent, qualified person, Worcester service engineer, British Gas engineer or other Gas Safe registered engineer. In the Republic of Ireland servicing work must be carried out by a Worcester service engineer or other Registered Gas Installer (RGII).
  • Always use original spares, to help maintain the efficiency, safety and reliability of the appliance.

Maintenance tips

  • Appliances on a sealed heating system:
    • Regularly check the system pressure.
  • Do not obstruct the flue outlet or the air inlet.
  • Use in hard water areas:
    • In exceptionally hard water areas a device to prevent scale formation should be fitted. Installation of a salt based water softener should be in accordance with the requirements of the local water company. A bypass valve must be fitted and used to fill/top up the heating system with untreated water.

  • If you have to add water regularly in your heating system, call a competent, qualified person.

Benchmark standard

The Benchmark initiative is a code of practice to encourage the correct installation, commissioning and servicing of domestic central heating appliances and system equipment.

A "checklist" is dispatched with every appliance and can be found towards the back of the Installation, Commissioning and Servicing Instructions. This is a vital document that needs to be completed by the installer at the time of installation. It confirms that the appliance has been installed and commissioned according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The service record provides space for the recording of regular servicing of the appliance/heating system and this can become a valuable document when, for example, you wish to sell the property. The service record will show a potential purchaser that the heating system has received regular professional maintenance and servicing during its lifetime.

The Benchmark initiative aims to:

  • Raise standards among professional installers.
  • Build and maintain high safety standards in the industry.
  • Improve customer satisfaction levels.
  • Make a contribution to the nation's commitment to climate change.

Prepare for operation

Open vented heating system

Appliances that can be connected to open vented heating systems will have the pressure maintained automatically by the header tank feeding the system.

Sealed heating system

Appliances that can be connected to sealed heating systems are prepressurised before operation, this pressure must be maintained for safe use of the appliance.

  • Check regularly that the pressure is maintained.
  • Re-charge the system if the display reads less than 1 bar.
  • If a permanent significant decrease or increase in pressure is indicated on the display, contact your installer or maintenance engineer.

Checking the system pressure


If the pressure is too low ( ≤ 0.2 bar) the system is out of operation and a warning notification stays on the screen. Fill the water until indicator is in green zone.

Your installer will advise you of the optimum operating pressure.

  • Press the menu key [1]. Select and confirm Boiler status.
    The screen Boiler status with a pressure indicator [2] appears. See Fig. 2.
    Prepare for operation - Checking system pressure
  • Check the system pressure at the display.
    • Indicator in red zone: pressure is too low or too high.
    • Indicator in yellow zone: pressure is low or slightly too high.
    • Indicator in green zone: pressure is normal.
  • Top up the heating water, if the pressure is low or too low.

Constantly re-pressurising the system

Constantly having to re-pressurise the heating system should be investigated as it is an indicator of potential leaks and the concentration of inhibitor protection in the system will be reduced; this can result in corrosion within the heating system, reducing efficiency and increasing contaminates.

  • Check for leaks on heating system (pipework and radiator valves).
  • Contact your installer or maintenance engineer if a recurring significant decrease or increase in pressure is shown on the pressure indicator (pressure gauge or pressure display).

System pressure increasing:

  • If the system pressure repeatedly increases and you need to vent air from the radiators, refer to section "Topping up the system pressure".

Topping up the system pressure

Integral keyless filling link
Locate the filling link and follow the instructions for re-pressurising the system. See Figs. 3-4
Enabling access to integral keyless filling link
Prepare for operation - Topping up system pressure

  • Re-pressurise the system.
    • Pull the lever [1] down to start the filling process.
    • The pressure indicator on the pressure display will start to move towards the green bar.
  • When the pressure indicator reaches the middle of the green bar [2] and the pressure is between 1 and 1.5 bar
    • Release the lever [1] to stop the filling process.
  • Top up the system pressure, if as a result of the air bleeding the pressure drops off.


If the indicator is on the right hand side red pressure zone as a result of over filling:

  • Bleed one radiator until the pressure indicator returns to the green bar.

Greenstar Intelligent Filling System (Accessory) (See Fig. 5)
The Intelligent Filling System refills the water into the heating system as required. Your specialist programmes the Intelligent Filling System according to your heating system. Have your specialist explain the function of the Intelligent Filling System to you.
Automatic refilling keeps the pressure in the heating system at the programmed value.

Fault 2980


Fault 2980

  • If fault 2980 is visible on the boiler display then contact a qualified heating engineer immediately. Do not attempt to remedy the fault otherwise there is a chance this could lead to a serious, safetyrelated fault. Heating and hot water will not be available until remedied by a qualified heating engineer.

Extreme cold weather

In certain instances where the condensate pipework is run externally or in an unheated area, such as a garage, the condensate pipework can be at risk of freezing, even if well insulated.

A frozen/blocked condensate pipe will cause the boiler to shut down. Worcester, Bosch Group have available helpful videos on thawing frozen condensate pipe work on our website in the Customer Service section.


Falling hazard!
Failure to follow this guidance may result in personal injury.

  • Only attempt to thaw a condensate pipe that is at ground level and easily accessible.
  • Never attempt to thaw a condensate pipe that is at height.


Risk of damage to pipe work!
Thermal shock from boiling water can damage plastic pipes.

  • DO NOT use boiling water to thaw the condensate pipe!


Slip hazard

  • Ensure that the subsequent freezing of any water does not result in a slip hazard.

If the condensate pipe has frozen:

  • Locate the blockage.
    • It is likely that the pipe is frozen at the most exposed point outside the building or where there is an obstruction to flow. This could be the open end of the pipe, at a bend or elbow, or where there is a sag in the pipe in which condensate can collect.
    • The location of the blockage should be identified as closely as possible before taking further action.
  • Thaw the frozen pipe.
    • The pipe can be thawed by applying a hot water bottle, a microwaveable heating pack (the sort used for muscular aches and pains) or a cloth soaked in hot water to the exterior of the pipe, close to the point of blockage.
    • Hot water, but not boiling, can also be poured onto the pipe from a watering can or similar container.
    • Care must be taken at pedestrian areas where this water may freeze and create a slip hazard.
  • Worcester, Bosch Group have available on our website helpful videos in the Customer Service section to aid in thawing a frozen pipe.
  • Reset the appliance and wait two or three minutes for the appliance to restart.
  • Contact Worcester, Bosch Group Appointments Team on:
    0330 123 9339, if the boiler does not restart.
  • Contact your installer in order to find a permanent solution to the problem.

System gassing troubleshooting


Caution must be exercised when venting radiators or adjusting system pressure after commissioning of your boiler.
Do not repeatedly vent your radiators, if symptoms persist, contact a heating engineer.

  • Do not vent air from radiators whilst the central heating is switched on; turn your boiler off.
  • Whilst venting radiators, do not allow the pressure on the boiler to drop below the pressure at which it is normally set


If the pressure in your heating system is repeatedly rising (this can be checked via the boilers pressure gauge or digital display and should be checked when the system is cold), and especially if you need to keep venting the radiators, urgent action is required and you must contact a heating engineer. This can indicate that there is corrosion occurring within the heating system

Note: Ensure the reading stays between minimum and maximum operating pressures at all times whilst the boiler is operating

  • This must be properly addressed to prevent serious damage to thу entire system.
  • Failure to properly maintain the heating system may affect your warranty.

Tips on energy saving

Heating economically
The appliance provides a high level of comfort whilst keeping fuel consumption and the environment effects as low as possible.
The appliance is controlled in such a way that it delivers heat at the correct rate and only if there is a clear demand from the system.

Central heating systems with thermostatic radiator valves
With modern heating systems set around a 20°C heat loss, the optimum setting for a condensing boiler will be approximately 65°C for the central heating temperature. This is to ensure a return temperature of less than 52°C.
The system must be balanced correctly and the radiators may need upgrading. This allows the boiler to condense as much as possible for the central heating system.
The temperature of each room can be set individually (except primary room with the room thermostat) using the thermostatic radiator valves.

Room thermostats
Reducing the setting of the room thermostat by 1°C can reduce fuel consumption by up to 10%.

New control systems
Upgrade your heating control system if necessary with the latest equipment available.

Roof insulation
Around 30% of the heat loss from a property is through the roof. Replace any old insulation with new insulation, preferably of around 200mm thickness or more.

Window frames
Single glazed windows, particularly those with steel frames, can lose a great deal of heat. Consideration should be given to replacement with PVCu or wooden framed double glazed units.

Radiators
If a radiator is sited underneath a window, its performance will be affected if the curtains are allowed to drape over the radiator. Shelves fitted above or in front of the radiator should also be avoided.
It is advisable to manually adjust all thermostatic radiator valves every 2~3 months to prevent them sticking. Ensure radiator valves are correctly set and not damaged.

Draughts
Try to ensure that draughts around doors, windows, letter boxes and keyholes etc. are reduced by using a suitable draught excluder.


Air vents!

  • Do not block or seal any air vents that are installed to ensure that the appliance operates safely.

Curtains
Lined curtains, or heavier full length curtains can provide excellent insulation. However, always ensure that the curtains do not drape over radiators.

Energy consumption

The maximum heat output of this boiler can be adjusted to suit the exact requirements of the building. The process of adjusting the maximum heat output is commonly referred to as range rating. The new boiler is set at the maximum output and should be adjusted when it is installed and commissioned. In accordance with the standards, the declared space heating efficiency, useful efficiency and NO x values efficiency for this range rated boiler are not measured at the maximum output. To achieve the published efficiency and NO x values, the gas rate should be reduced by your installer during commissioning ( Installation and Maintenance instructions).

There is a danger to life from escaping flue gas.

  • Never modify any parts through which flue gas is routed.

If flues are damaged or leaking, or if you smell flue gas, observe the following rules.

  • Switch off the heat source.
  • Open doors and windows
  • Warn your neighbours and leave the building immediately.
  • Prevent third parties from entering the building.
  • Notify an approved contractor.
  • Have any defects rectified.

warning Danger to life from carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas, which arises during the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels such as oil, gas or solid fuels.
Dangers arise, if carbon monoxide escapes from the heating system due to a fault or a leak and collects unnoticed in enclosed spaces.
You can neither see, taste nor smell carbon monoxide.
To avoid danger from carbon monoxide:

  • Have the heating system inspected and serviced regularly by an approved contractor.
  • Use a CO detector, which gives an alarm in good time if CO escapes.
  • If you suspect a CO leak:
    • Warn your neighbours and leave the building immediately.
    • Call an approved contractor.
    • Have any defects rectified.

warning Inspection, cleaning and maintenance
The user is responsible for ensuring the heating system is safe and environmentally compatible.
Non-existent or improper inspection, cleaning and maintenance may result in personal injury, including danger to life or material damage.
We recommend that you enter into a contract covering an annual inspection and responsive cleaning and maintenance with an approved contractor.

  • Have work carried out only by an approved contractor.
  • Have the heating system inspected by an approved contractor at least once a year.
  • Have any required cleaning or maintenance work carried out immediately.
  • Have any defects in the heating system remedied immediately, independent of the annual inspection.
