The hardness of the mains water supply. Systems with hard water must be fitted with a suitable chemical scale preventer (eg Fernox Quantomat or Combimate alternatively contact Warmflow for further details). That the flow from any one hot water outlet does not exceed the maximum recommended.
1.0 User Instructions 1.0.1 Boiler Control Thermostat The boiler control thermostat is located on the front of the boiler facia panel and may be adjusted from 52°C to 85°C. The recommended minimum thermostat setting is 65°C. Below this ‘cold water corrosion’ is likely to occur thus reducing the life of the heat exchanger and is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
The Warmflow oil fired combis are designed to burn Class C2 (28 sec redwood) kerosine or Class D (35 sec redwood) gas oil. However to comply with building regulations only kerosine may be burned when using the low level balanced flue or low level conventional flue.
