Appliance Operation - Page 6 1. Pump Overrun: When the switched live to the boiler switches on or the flow temperature is greater than the set point or anti-cycle finishes then Pump Overrun occurs for 10 seconds (cold) or 60 seconds (hot). The pump is on while the fan, spark generator and gas valve are off.
It is important to check the inhibitor concentration after installation, system modification and at every service in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. (Test kits are available from inhibitor stockists.) • For information or advice regarding any of the above contact the Baxi Helpline.
