Winter conditions - i.e. Ch and DhW required.
Ensure the mode knob control (D) is set to winter (
The boiler will fire and supply heat to the radiators but will give
priority to DHW on demand.
The DHW preheat will operate as described under 'Summer

summer conditions - i.e. DhW only required.
Set the mode knob control to Summer (
Set the CH external controls to OFF.
Preheat will operate with the preheat switch (A) set to ON.
The boiler will fire periodically for a few seconds to maintain the
DHW calorifier in a preheated condition. The average time period
between firing is 90 minutes. This may vary considerably due to
the surrounding ambient temperature of the boiler. The boiler will
fire whenever there is a demand for DHW.
The boiler preheat facility can be immobilised by turning the
preheat switch (A) to OFF. This will stop the boiler operating
for short periods. This facility is primarily provided for boiler
installations in a sensitive area (i.e. bedroom etc.)
note. The pump will operate briefly as a self-check once every 24
hours, regardless of system demand.
Control of water temperature

Domestic hot Water

The DHW temperature is limited by the boiler controls to
64

and vice versa.

Central heating

The boiler controls the central heating radiator temperature to a
maximum of 80
The i-mini is a high efficiency combination boiler which is most
efficient when operating in condensing mode.
The boiler will operate in this mode if the CH temperature control
(C) is set to the 'e' position (economy mode). This control should
be set to maximum for very cold periods
To shut down the boiler
Set the mode knob control to OFF
To relight the boiler
Repeat the procedure detailed in 'To light the boiler'.

Frost protection

If no system frost protection is provided and frost is likely during
a short absence from home, leave the heating controls (if fitted)
at a reduced temperature setting. For longer periods, the entire
system should be drained.
If the system includes a frost thermostat then, during cold
weather, the boiler should be turned OFF at the time switch (if
fitted) ONLY. The mains supply should be left switched ON, with
the boiler thermostat left in the normal running position.

Boiler overheat Protection

The boiler controls will shut down the boiler in the event of
overheating. Should this occur, a fault code
Refer to fault chart.
