1.0 Operating the Boiler

1.1 In Operation

The Potterton Promax SL is a range of high efficiency condensing boilers.

In common with other condensing boilers its exceptional efficiency means the flue gases are cooled to such an extent that steam is often visible at the outside flue terminal.

The amount produced depends on system design, product use and outside air temperature but it is not harmful to the individual or the working of the boiler in any way.

Other Controls

A Potterton Electronic Programmer or other type of clock should have been fitted in your system, together with heating and hot water controls. Full instructions on the use of these controls will have been supplied with them.

1.2 To Light

1. Ensure that the main gas and electricity supplies to the boiler are ON.

2. The fan will start to run and after a short period the ignition spark will commence. Sparking will continue until the flame is established then stop automatically. Check that a flame is visible through the sight glass.
