These switches can be replaced by the optional two channel digital programmer, instructions for use are provided in the main boiler handbook. This boiler must be serviced annually. Contact Warmflow for further details. In the event of a breakdown please contact your commissioning engineer who should then contact our service department whilst at your home, to report the fault.
CONDENSING BOILER INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS The Warmflow condensing boiler can be fitted to most installations using standard practices and techniques. There are however a number of considerations that must be taken into account. All existing systems must be properly flushed to remove any sediment/ sludge in order to prevent any blockage or reduction in efficiency of the boiler.
Where the mains water pressure is supplied via a borehole pump and accumulator the pressure variation must not affect the thermostatic mixer valve. Contact Warmflow for further details. 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).
Regulations Section 6, Part F Northern Ireland and Part L Republic of Ireland. Warmflow oil fired condensing boilers are designed to burn Class C2 (28 sec redwood) kerosene only and to be used on a fully pumped system, and are suitable for connection to sealed heating systems.
1.3 Combi General Requirements The boiler will have a DHW priority when both domestic hot water (DHW) and central heating (CH) are selected. So if the flow switch is closed or the heat store has not been satisfied the entire output of the boiler is directed to DHW before the boiler will switch over to CH.

The Low Level, High Level and Vertical Balanced Flue Systems can use any combination of flue extension pieces up to the maximum equivalent length depending upon boiler output as illustrated in the above table. Page 26...
2.4 Condensate Disposal The Warmflow high efficiency condensing boiler is supplied with a factory fitted, self sealing condensate trap. The trap has been fitted inside the boiler casing to the right hand side. The condensate drainage pipe within the boiler is a flexible plastic hose which can be trimmed to length.
3.0 Electricity Supply & Wiring Details 220 – 240V. PH, 50 Hz The boiler/burner and other external electrical equipment should be wired with heat resistant cable via a fused double pole isolating switch which should be fitted with a 5 amp fuse. The appliance must be effectively earthed and all external wiring should comply with current IEE Regulations.

3.4 Installation of a Warmflow Combi Optional Programmer (PC1) Disconnect the electrical supply. Drop down control box front (2 screws). Disconnect the 6 pin plug from the CH/HW on/off switched. With a sharp knife cut out the outline of the panel knockout through the facia label from the front of the panel.
3.5 Remote Timers for Combis 3.5.1 Installation of a remote two channel programmer (option 1) Connecting the programmer in this manner will bypass the CH and HW on/ off switches on the boiler control panel. A separate connection to the boiler 3 pin mains plug is NOT required. Inside the boiler control panel, remove the purple and white wires connecting terminals 5 and 3 on the terminal block with terminals 9 and 28 on the PCB.
3.6 Optional Programmer (PU1) for Non-Combi Models 3.6.1 Programmer Control Box Wiring Diagram 3.6.2 General Requirements The optional programmer as supplied will supply power to the pump and burner via the central heating channel. When connecting to external controls, eg ‘Y’ plan or ‘S’ plan it will be necessary to remove the loop between 3 and 2 on the programmer terminal block.

5.1.1 Installation of a Balanced Flue (FBF) Make a suitable sized hole in the wall or ceiling for the flue. For the dimensions of the boiler, see the Dimensions Section of this manual. For the dimensions of the flue system, see the Flue Kits & Dimensions Section of this manual. Note: The cavities around the opening must be sealed and protected by a non- combustible sleeve.
Only proprietary flue systems designed specifically for use with oil-fired condensing boilers may be used. The flue system manufacturer’s installation instruction must be followed. For recommended conventional flue systems, contact Warmflow. 5.3 Low Level Balanced Flue Terminal Positions Attention should be given to the position of the flue discharge; we recommend the following guidelines be adopted. The flue should not discharge beneath opening windows or near other accesses to the building.
