INSTRUCTIONS
The pump and the fan must be switched off when adding water to the system. It is
easiest to switch off the main switch on the wall, so that all pumps and the fan etc. are
switched off.
N.B.: Do not add water to an overheated boiler in operation.
Water may be added via the KFE cock (Fig. 1.6.1) with the aid of a hose connected to
the tap. The hose must be filled with water before connection so that no air can enter the
system.
First open the KFE cock. Then slowly turn on the water tap and fill the system until the
water runs out of the expansion tank overflow. Then turn off the tap followed by the
KFE cock. The system must be bled via the venting screw during filling.
The central heating system can be protected against freezing with anti-freeze, but please
note that this does not protect the cooling spiral. If you desire protection against
freezing, we recommend calling a serviceman to add the anti-freeze.
1. Remove the two pins and take off the door.
2. Remove the old sealing with a screwdriver or a chisel.
3. Clean the sealing groove.
4. Press new sealing into the groove. When half the sealing has been inserted,
adjust the end and press in the rest.
5. Secure the sealing by gently tapping with a hammer.
6. Replace the door.
If the fuel tunnel has to be replaced, directions are supplied with the packet of
replacement bricks.
Keep the temperature at about 20°C in occupied rooms and lower in unused rooms.
Give the house a quick but effective airing every day. Turn off the boiler while doing
so.
DO NOT FORGET to check any safety valves and anode in any connected hot water
reservoir.
