0. HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS LIST OF CONTENTS The Keston C36 Combi and C36P Combi are supplied almost totally pre-assembled. The units use standard 50 mm muPVC (BS5255 and/or BSEN1566-1 and BSEN1329) pipe for the flue and air intake systems. The boiler is packed in a single box without additional flue kit. All additional components are packed inside the boiler cabinet itself.

Safety footwear and gloves are recommended PPE when lifting this appliance - to protect against sharp edges and ensure good grip. The C36 Combi and C36P Combi boilers can be fitted in compartments with very small clearances required around the appliance (refer to Section 3.1). Due consideration should therefore be given to access within the compartment for lifting and positioning.
These user instructions should be read carefully to ensure safe and economical use of your C36 Combi. The C36 Combi model is for use with natural gas only, the C36P Combi model is for use with LPG only.
In addition, the air intake and flue exhaust terminals must be free from obstruction at all times. Frost Protection The C36 Combi has an integral frost protection function. However, care should also be taken that any exposed pipework is adequately insulated to prevent freezing. SAFETY INFORMATION...
The C36 Combi is not a high water content boiler and does not contain the metal mass, or water volume, of a cast iron or steel boiler. This boiler is of low mass and low water content and therefore responds faster when there is a call for heat.

In the event of the boiler overheating the safety devices will cause a safety shutdown. A safety discharge valve and discharge pipe is fitted to the boiler. The C36 Combi features an integral frost protection function which will operate the pump, regardless of the external controls, should the boiler temperature fall below 10 C.
** Flue lengths between 48 and 60m will create a 1% reduction in DHW output OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES A range of accessories are available from Keston Boilers Ltd to compliment an installation. Terminal wall sealing collars are available to make good the external all face whilst working from the inside of the building using 50mm muPVC (BS5255 and/or BSEN1566-1 and BSEN1329) pipe.

The C36 Combi and C36P Combi are classified as IP20 (IPX0) and are therefore suitable for installation in Zone 3 areas, unless subject to hose down.
(80% density) must be used to connect the outside temperature sensor. BOILER SIZE SELECTION The C36 Combi will automatically adjust heat output and pump speed to match the system requirements at any given time. Efficiency and combustion levels are maintained at optimum levels throughout the possible output range.
In IE the requirements given in the current edition of IS813 and the current Building Regulations must be followed. The Keston C36 Combi is designed for installation on sealed water systems only. With fully pumped water circulation. The pump, an 8l expansion vessel and associated safety devices are fitted within the boiler.

WD388/0/2004 Chapter 3 - Boiler Location The Keston C36 Combi & C36P Combi Boilers The boiler is supplied with an integral expansion vessel of 8l capacity. This is suitable for systems of up to 125 Litres system volume. Table 3.7 Expansion Vessel Selection provides guidance for the correct additional expansion vessel size to use for systems with a water content larger than 125 Litres.

3.11 CONDENSATE DRAINAGE Being a condensing boiler, the C36 Combi and C36P Combi are fitted with a condensate trap at the base of the heat exchanger and flue assembly, with facility to connect to a drain point underneath the appliance.
WD388/0/2004 Chapter 4 : Installation The Keston C36 Combi & C36P Combi Boilers 4. INSTALLATION OF THE BOILER Read Chapter 3 - Boiler Location and decide upon the position of the boiler. Installation of the boiler is straightforward but consideration must be given to access to allow flue and air pipes to be pushed through walls and ceilings.
WD388/0/2004 Chapter 4 : Installation The Keston C36 Combi & C36P Combi Boilers ASSEMBLY PRACTICE Remove all plastic debris and burrs when installing air intake piping. Plastic filings caused by cutting muPVC pipe must not be allowed to be drawn into the combustion air blower.
