Check that stop cocks up stream of appliance are
of a fixed jumper type.
2) Open mains cold water inlet valve (fig. 33) (A)
3) Vent installation by opening taps and closing.
4) Check that “dead legs”
have been eliminated
5) Check for water soundness and rectify if necessary,

5) Set system charge pressure to design cold pressure.
For a new installation we suggest 1.0 bar. For an
old system see section (3, 9, 2) set to system
static head or 0.8 bar which ever is the greater.
6) Check for water soundness and rectify any leaks.

3) Temporarily locate the three blue control ‘knobs’ -
one
thermostat knob, one ignition button
extension and one temperature control knob.
4) Switch to HOT WATER + CENTRAL HEATING (II) on
the selector switch (A). The fan will run at low speed.
5) Press the ignition button

a)
The fan will change to high speed to purge the
combustion chamber. Gas is admitted to the pilot.
