6. GASSUPPLY The Midas Sfi requires 3.4 mYh (120 ftVh) of natural gas (the input after 10 minutes use at maximum). The meter and supply pipes must be capable of delivering this quantity of gas in addition to the demand from any other appliances in the house.
Maximum central heating input 3 6 . 6 Minimum central heating input (m-on) 13.2 Maximum central heatina output 29.3 Minimum central heating output (modulation) Maximum hot water input 3 6 . 6 Maximum hot water output 2 9 . 3 Maximum burner pressure 1 6 .
Gas Installation in Timber Framed Housing” reference DM2. If in doubt advice must be sought from the local region of British Gas or from Myson Heating. The boiler may be installed in any room, although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of the latest IEE Wiring Regulations and, in Scotland, the electrical provisions of the building regulations applicable in Scotland, with respect to the installation of the boiler in a room containing a bath or shower.
The maximum working pressure of the Midas Sfi is 10 bar (145 Ibfhn2). If the mains water pressure is likely to exceed this, a pressure reducing valve must be fitted to the cold water inlet.
OPEN THE MAIN BOILER PACK CHECK THE OUTER PANELS PACK The Midas Sfi is received in two packs. unpack the larger of The outer panel pack contains the outer front and side the two. Remove the outer panels pack and place to one panels together with the facia cover and bottom panel.

CONNECT THE WATER SUPPLY CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE Refer also to page section 5. 1. Make connections as shown below. For dimensions see page 5, 1. Remove the electrics cover (4 screws) and remove the facia panel section 12. (4 screws) and carefully pull forward (see frame 42).
PURGE THE SUPPLY AND CHECK THE PILOT FLAME Purge the gas supply 2. Turn on the gas supply and open the boiler service cock to purge in accordance with BS6891 (the cock is open when the operating slot is vertical). Retighten test point screw and test for gas soundness. Check the pilot flame insulation panel (4 screws).
19. FINAL ASSEMBLY AND HANDING OVER THE INSTALLATION 2. Set the timer to the correct time (do not rotate the dial anticlockwise). Hand the User Instructions to the User and instruct in the safe operation of the boiler and controls. Advise the User of the precautions necessary to prevent damage to the system and to the building in the event of the system remaining inoperative during frost conditions.
REPLACEMENT OF PARTS The procedure for the replacement of parts is given in frames 29 to 61. WARNING: Before commencing work: Set the programme selector switch to ‘CH off‘, ‘HW off‘! Allow the boiler to cool and isolate the electricity supply. Turn off the gas supply at the gas service cock.
TO REPLACE THE COMBUSTION TO REPLACE THE MAIN HEAT CHAMBER INSULATION PANELS EXCHANGER 1. Remove combustion chamber as described in frame 33, steps 1 26, steps 4 to and 3. 2. Slide out the two side panels. 2. Close the system isolation valves. Drain the boiler down using the safety valve.

23. FAULT FINDING Section 1 : Appliance operating procedure. To assist fault finding six light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been incorporated on the main control board to indicate certain functions of the board. By using these LEDs it should be possible to identify where the problem lies and to rectify. LED 1 Will remain on until the fan has produced enough air for complete combustion at low rate low rate air detector.

Section 2: Fault finding flow charts Preliminary elegtrical system checks i.e. Earth Continuity, Short Circuit, Polarity and Resistance to Earth are the first electrical checks to be carried out during a fault finding procedure. On completion of the service/fault finding task which has required the breaking and remaking of electrical connections, then the checks Earth Continuity, Short Circuit, Polarity and Resistance to Earth must be repeated.
