Operating The Boiler - Potterton Gold 24 HE Installation & Service Instructions Manual

Operating the Boiler

The Central Heating and Hot Water you need will be
available when the gas and electricity supplies to the
boiler are turned on with the timer and other heating
controls in your system set correctly.
Other heating controls are items such as
room thermostats, cylinder thermostats and
thermostatic radiator valves. To give the most
energy efficient performance these controls
can switch your boiler on and off even when
your timer is on. Instructions on how to use
your programmer and other heating controls
should have been supplied with the items.
