The Electricity at Work Regulations, 1989. The manufacturers notes must NOT be taken, in any way, as overriding statutory obligations. IMPORTANT: These appliances are CE certificated for safety and performance. It is, therefore, important that no external control devices, e.g. flue dampers, economisers etc., are directly connected to these appliances unless covered by these Installation and Servicing Instructions or as otherwise recommended by Caradon Plumbing Ltd.

FLUE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS The flue must be installed in accordance with the recommendations of BS. 5440: Part 1. The following notes are intended for general guidance: 1 The boiler MUST be installed so that the terminal is exposed to external air. 2 It is important that the position of the terminal allows the free passage of air across it at all times.
Page 10
WATER TREATMENT Antifreeze fluid, corrosion and scale inhibitor fluids suitable for use with boilers having copper heat exchangers may be used in the central heating system. For further information contact either: Fernox Fry Technology UK Tandem House Marlow Way Beddington Farm Road Croydon CR0 4XS Tel 0870 601 5000 Betz Dearborn Ltd...

For expansion volumes see Table Guidance on vessel sizing is given in BS 7074:1 and BS 5449 5 SEALED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS central heating (continued) 7 Thermostatic radiator valves. Caradon Plumbing Ltd. support the recommendations made by leading manufacturers of domestic heating controls that heating systems utilising full thermostatic radiator valve control of temperature in individual rooms should also be fitted with a room thermostat controlling the temperature in a space served by radiators not fitted with such a valve as stated in BS5449.
Page 13
5 When connecting to suitable showers, i.e. those designed for modulating domestic hot water, ensure that: a. The cold inlet to the boiler is fitted with an approved anti–vacuum or syphon non–return valve. b. Hot and cold supplies are of equal pressure. 6 Hard water areas In areas where the water is ‘hard’...

13 WALL MOUNTING TEMPLATE (side flue) IMPORTANT: 1 Tape the template into the selected position. 2 Ensure squareness by hanging a plumbine. 3 Mark onto the wall the following: a. the wall mounting plate screw position b. Extended the centre line as shown. Mark the flue ductcentre from the corner (see diagram and template) c.
Page 19
NOTE: If the teminal is to be sited within 25 – 40 mm of a corner or vertical pipe (refer to Table 6) then the hole MUST be accurately cut and the rubber weather seal trimmed around the groove provided. (The terminal wall plate cannot be fitted close to a corner).
Page 20
17 FITTING THE FLUE Pass the cut flue through the prepared hole, ensuring that the groove is uppermost. 18 MOUNTING THE BOILER In order to ensure the boiler front panel Is not damaged during boiler mounting, remove the bottom panel (2 screws A) and the boiler front panel by opening the door and removing the two fixing screws B.
Page 21
19 CONNECTING THE TURRET TO THE BOILER 1 Fit the Elbow–Boiler gasket on the boiler. 2 Fit internal sealing gasket. 3 Fit the duct–elbow sealing gasket on the turret so that the edge of the gasket coincides with the edge of the duct. 4 Fit the flue duct gaskets on the gasket seats of the flue turret directing the lips of the gaskets as shown.
Page 22
21 FLUE EXTENSION DUCT PACK D CONTENTS Use a maximum of: 2 extension ducts on model C95FF 3 extension ducts on model C80FF 22 ASSEMBLING THE EXTENDED FLUE 1. Remove the cardboard support aid from the flue and place safely to one side. 2.
Page 23
23 CUTTING THE FLUE TO LENGTH 1. Check the flue length measurement made in Frame 2. Use this dimension to mark the flue length, starting from the groove, as illustrated. 3. To ensure a square cut, mark the flue all the way round, using, e.g. a steel tape or paper strip with the ends overlapped. 4.
Page 24
25 CONNECTIONS Fit the service valves washers and tail pipes as shown. Connect to the tail pipes by proprietory fittings. The pipework may be directed up, down or through the rear wall as required. To allow for any future removal of the boiler it is suggested that union joints be incorporated into the upward pipework. See additional illustration for upward pipework routing...
Page 25
26 SAFETY VALVE DRAIN The discharge pipe should be positioned so that the discharge of water or steam cannot create a hazard to the occupants of the premises or damage to electrical components and wiring. The discharge pipe shall be 15 mm copper and connected using the nut and olive in the hardware pack. The suggested routing of the pipe is shown in the following drawing.
Page 26
NOTE: Ensure that the lengths of the current conductors are shorter than the earth conductor so that if the cable slips in its anchorage the current carrying conductors become taut before the earth conductor. 29 PICTORIAL WIRING...
Page 28
31 EXTERNAL ELECTRICAL CONTROLS Wiring external to the boiler MUST be in accordance with the current I.E.E. (BS.7671) Wiring Regulations. The fuse rating should be 3A. Optional Programmer Kits These are supplied in either digital or analogue options, each with the relevant instructions. External Programmers This should be of the single channel type (as this boiler does not incorporate a pre–heat facility for the istantaneous hot water service).
Page 29
Diagrams B & C show applications to boilers fitted with alternative time controls. Designation of the terminals will vary but the programmer and thermostat manufacturers' leaflets will give full details. NOTE: If the boiler is installed in a garage it may be necessary to fit a pipe thermostat, preferably on the return pipework. Earths are not shown for clarity but must never be omitted.
Page 30
IMPORTANT: Before lighting the boiler you should note especially that: 1 Check that all the drain cocks are closed and any valves in the flow and return are open. 2 Check that the system has been filled and pressurised and that the boiler is not air locked. 3 Check that the overheat thermostat (D) is calling for heat –...
Page 31
8 Set the main switch (A) to ‘ON’. Following a pre–purge period the gas control solenoid valve should open and the spark commence, continuing until the burner is established. 9 Check that the burner lights smoothly. If this does not occur within 20 seconds, turn the on/off switch to OFF, wait for 5 seconds then try again. If the burner still does not light, refer to the ‘Fault Finding’...
Page 32
2 Open DHW tap. 3 Observe ignition burner pressure during 10 sec. ignition period (4 mbar); adjust the pressure if necessary using the “wheel” on the ignition module indicated in the following drawing. If the burner extinguishes press the reset button and the burner will re–light. 4 Close the DHW tap 5 Re–connect the detection lead Minimum valve setting...
Page 33
ALWAYS carry out the preliminary electrical system checks, i.e. earth continuity, polarity, resistance to earth and short circuit, using a suitable test meter. B. Gas Installation 1. The whole of the gas installation, including the meter, should be inspected and tested for soundness and purged in accordance with the recommendations of BS.
Page 34
5. Advise the user of the precautions necessary to prevent damage to the system and to the building, in the event of the system remaining inoperative during frosty conditions. 6. If a programmer kit is fitted, draw attention to the Programmer Kit User's Instructions and hand them to the householder. 7.
