Please read these instructions and follow them carefully for the safe and economical use of your boiler.
This boiler is designed to provide central heating from a fully pumped open vented or sealed water system with a fully indirect domestic hot water cylinder.
The boiler is fully automatic in operation, with an "ON/OFF" control switch knob, see diagram 1.
This boiler is for use only on G20 gas.
In your interests and that of gas safety it is the Law that ALL gas appliances are installed by a competent person in accordance with the current issue of the above regulations.
If a gas leak or fault exists, or is suspected, the boiler must be turned off, including the electrical supply and must not be used until the fault has been put right. Advice/help should be obtained from your installation or servicing company or local gas company.
To ensure the continued efficient and safe operation of the boiler it is recommended that it is checked and serviced as necessary at regular intervals. The frequency of servicing will depend upon the particular installation conditions and usage, but in general once a year should be enough.
It this appliance is installed in a rented property there is a duty of care imposed on the owner of the property by the current issue of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, Section 35.
It is the Law that any servicing is carried out by a competent person.
Please be advised that the 'Benchmark' logbook should be completed by the installation engineer on completion of commissioning and servicing.
All CORGI Registered Installers carry a CORGI ID card, and have a registration number. Both should be recorded in your boilerLogbook. You can check your installer is CORGI registered by calling CORGI direct on :- 01256 372300.
If fixtures are positioned close to the boiler, space must be left as shown in diagram 3. Enough space must also be left in front of the boiler to allow for servicing.
If the boiler is installed in a cupboard or compartment do not obstruct any ventilation openings.
Do not use the cupboard or compartment for storage.
Regularly make sure that the air vent openings are clear of obstructions.
Warning. This appliance contains metal parts (components) and care should be taken when handling and cleaning, with particular regard to edges.
Clean the casing occasionally by wiping it over with a damp soapy cloth or dry polishing duster.
Do not use an abrasive cleaner.
If the boiler is to be out of use for any long period of time during severe weather conditions we recommend that the whole system, including the boiler, be drained off to avoid the risk of freezing up. Make sure that, if fitted, the immersion heater in the cylinder is switched off.
If you have a sealed water system contact your installer or servicing company as draining, refilling and pressurising must be carried out by a competent person.
Warning. This boiler must be earthed.
Connection of the boiler any system controls to the mains (230V~50Hz) must be by one unswitched shuttered socket outlet and fused 3A 3 pin plug.
Alternatively, a 3A fused double pole isolating switch may be used, having a minimum double pole contact separation of 3mm, serving only the boiler and system controls.
The colours of three core flexible cable are:-
Brown - live, Blue - neutral, Green and Yellow - earth.
As the markings on your plug may not correspond with these colours continue as follows:-
The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked "L" or "Red".
The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal marked "N" or "Black".
The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked "E" or "Green" or the earth symbol ____.
Failure of the electrical supply will cause the burner to go out.
Should this happen. operation of the boiler will normally resume after the electrical supply is restored.
If the burner does not relight after an electrical supply failure the overheat device may need resetting, pull the information panel forwards and push the reset button, see diagram 2.
If the cutoff operates on any other occasion than electrical failure, press the reset button as stated in "Electrical Supply Failure".
If the boiler fails to relight contact your installer or servicing company.
Sealed Water Systems only:
Caution. A sealed water system must be filled and pressurised by a competent person.
Only light the boiler when you are sure that the system and boiler have be filled and pressurised.
The pressure gauge should show at least 0.7bar, anything less than this figure could indicate a leak and you MUST contact your installation or servicing company.
If there is any doubt about the boiler and system being full of water consult your installation or servicing company.
Turn the electrical supply on to the boiler and check that any remote controls are set to your requirements, refer to manufacturer's instructions for these items.
Turn the "ON/OFF" switch to "I".
The boiler lighting operation is now automatic as follows:-
The fan operates, followed by an ignition spark until the burner lights.
The burner will stay alight until switched off by the control thermostat or other remote control.
If the "ON/OFF" switch is turned to "O", "Off" by hand, wait at least 30 seconds before turning on again.
When the boiler thermostat or external controls are satisfied the burner will go out.
The automatic lighting sequence will operate again when heat is required.
Should the boiler fail to come on at the required time, turn the boiler "OFF" and "ON" again. The ignition system will reset and the burner will light.
For short periods, turn "ON/OFF" switch to "O".
To relight the main burner, turn "ON/OFF" switch to "I".
For longer periods, turn "ON/OFF" switch to "O" and switch off the electrical supply.
To relight follow the sequence given above.
Note. If the burner goes out for any reason, wait 30 seconds before relighting.
Like all condensing boilers this appliance will produce a plume of condensation from the flue terminal in cool weather. This is due to the high efficiency and hence low flue gas temperature of the boiler.

The gas installation must be in accordance with the current issue of BS6891.
The supply from the governed meter must be of adequate size to provide a steady inlet working pressure of 20mbar (8in wg) at the boiler.
On completion, test the gas installation for soundness using the pressure drop method and suitable leak detection fluid, purge in accordance with the above standard.
WARNING. This boiler must be earthed.
All system components shall be of the approved type and be wired and connected in accordance with the current issue of BS7671 and any applicable local regulations.
Connection of the boiler and system controls to the mains supply must be through a common isolator and must be fused 3A, maximum. This method of connection should be, preferably, by a double pole isolating switch, provided it has a minimum contact separation of 3mm on both poles. This should be readily accessible and preferably adjacent to the boiler. It should supply the boiler only and be easily identifiable as so doing.
Alternatively, an unswitched shuttered socket outlet and 3A fused 3 pin plug both the current issue of BS1363 may be used, provided that they are not used in a room containing a bath or shower.
Wiring to the boiler must be PVC insulated type to the current issue of BS6500 Table 16.
The boiler condensate should, if possible, be discharged into the household internal draining system, that is, sink or washing machine drain. If this is not practicable, discharge can be external, into the household drainage system or a purpose designed soakaway.
The boiler is fitted with a safety device to prevent the boiler working if the condensate pipe gets blocked by either ice or debris.
It is, therefore, recommended that any external condensate drain pipe is insulated to prevent freezing up.
Alternatively, a larger diameter pipe could be used and insulated.
The condensate drain pipe should be checked during any servicing and any debris found removed.
Refer to the British Gas publication "Guidance Note for the Installation of Domestic Condensing Boilers" for further information.
The heating system should have installed: a programmer and room thermostat controlling the boiler.
Thermostatic radiator valves may be installed, however they must not be fitted in a room where the room thermostat is located.
Note: For further information, see The Building Regulations 1991 - Conservation of fuel and power, 1995 edition - Appendix G, table 4b.
Anti-theft kits are available for these appliances, contact Hepworth Heating Ltd. for further information.
The boiler has 28mm copper connections, they may, however, be reduced to 22mm, provided that the system resistance does not exceed the chosen pump duty.
The boiler is provided with a draining point at the lower left hand side of the burner manifold, to be used for draining the boiler, see diagram 2.1.
A draining tap must be provided at the lowest points of the system which will allow the entire system and hot water cylinder to be drained.
Draining taps shall be to the current issue of BS2879.
A safety valve need not be fitted to an open vented system.
The pump should be fitted in the flow pipe from the boiler and have isolating valves each side, integral if possible.
A variable duty pump should be set to give a temperature difference of 11°C (20°F) between the flow and return with the thermostat set at "MAX", which is about 82°C (180°F), to give a design flow rate as shown in Table 3.
See chart for pressure drop of the boiler, diagram 2.2.
High resistance microbore systems may require a higher duty pump.
A BYPASS MUST BE FITTED, see diagram 2.3 for a suitable position.
The flow rate through the boiler must not be allowed to fall below that given in Table 3.
Where the water system can allow the boiler and pump to operate on bypass only, the bypass must be placed at least 1.5m away from the boiler.
Attention is drawn to the current issue of BS5449 and BS7593 on the use of inhibitors in central heating systems.
If an inhibitor is to be used, contact an inhibitor manufacturer for their recommendations as to the best product to use.
Note. This boiler has a totally copper water system and does not require a special inhibitor normally associated with other types of high efficiency ("condensing") boilers.
If an existing system is to be used take special care to drain the entire system, including the radiators, then thoroughly cleaning out before fitting the boiler, whether or not using an inhibitor.
The boiler must be supplied from an unrestricted water supply taken from a feed an expansion cistern situated at a maximum height of 27metres (90ft) above the boiler.
The cold feed must be 15mm minimum size.
The vent must rise continuously and be unrestricted.
It is important that the relative positions of the pump, cold feed and open vent are as shown in diagram 2.3.

The domestic hot water cylinder must be of the double feed fully indirect type. Not the single feed self priming type.
Where a storage system will not have a vent to atmosphere the installation must comply with The Building Regulations and the local Water Company Byelaws, see also the current issue of BS6700.
If fitting to an existing system the local authority should be informed.
The installation must comply with the appropriate requirements of the current issue of BS4814, BS5449, BS6759, BS6798 and BS7074 Part 1 and 2.
See diagram 2.4 for a suggested layout.
A safety valve must be fitted to a sealed water system.
It shall be preset, nonadjustable with a lift pressure of 3bar, incorporating seating of a resilient material, a test device and a connection for drain.
The drain from the safety valve must be routed clear of any electrical fittings and positioned so that any discharge can be seen.
A diaphragm type expansion vessel, conforming to the current issue of BS4814, see also BS7074 Part 1 and 2, must be connected at a point close to the inlet side of the circulating pump, see diagram 2.4, unless laid down differently by the manufacturer.
The expansion vessel volume depends on the total water system volume and the initial system design pressure. For any system an accurate calculation of vessel size is given in the current issue of BS7074 Part 1.
Example, for an initial system design pressure of 0.7bar, the minimum total vessel volume required is 0.063xTotal System volume.
Note, a higher initial design pressure requires a larger volume expansion vessel.
Guidance on vessel sizing is also given in the current issue of BS5449 and BS7074 Part 1.
The charge pressure must not be less than the static head of the system, that is, the height of the highest point of the system above the expansion vessel.
The water content of the boiler is given in the Data Table 1.
A pressure gauge with a set pointer and covering at least 0 to 4bar (0 to 60lb/in2) shall be fitted permanently to the system in a position where it can be seen when filling the system.
SINGLE FEED INDIRECT CYLINDERS ARE NOT SUITABLE.
The domestic hot water cylinder must be of the indirect coil type. It must be suitable for working at a gauge pressure of 0.35bar above the safety valve setting.
Provision should be made for replacing water loss from the system using a make up bottle mounted in a position higher than the top point of the system, connected through a non-return valve to the return side of either the heating circuit or the domestic hot water cylinder.
Alternatively, provision for make up can be made using a filling loop.
Provision for filling the system at low level must be made. Three methods are shown in diagram 2.5. There must be no permanent connection of the mains water supply, even through a non-return valve.
The boiler may be installed in any room although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of the current issue of BS7671 with respect of the installation of a boiler in a room containing a bath or shower. Any electrical switch or boiler control using mains electricity should be so situated that it cannot be touched by a person using the bath or shower. The electrical provisions of the Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations apply to such installations in Scotland.
The boiler must be mounted on a flat wall which is sufficiently robust to take its total weight, see Data Table 1.
The boiler must be positioned so that at least the minimum operational and servicing clearances are as shown in diagram 3.1.
Additional clearances may be required around the boiler for installation purposes, dependent upon site conditions.
If the boiler is to be installed in a timber frame building it should be fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas Engineers document IGE/UP/7/1998. If in doubt seek advice from the local gas undertaking or Hepworth Heating Ltd.
The boiler is room sealed, so when installed in a room or space a permanent air vent is not required.
Where the boiler is fitted in a cupboard or compartment, permanent high and low level ventilation must be provided. The ventilation areas required are given in Table 4.
Where the installation of the boiler will be in an unusual location, special procedures are necessary, refer to the current issue of BS6798 for guidance.
Make sure that the cupboard or compartment air vents are positioned to be clear of obstructions at all times.
A compartment used to enclose the boiler must be designed and constructed specifically for this purpose.
The doorway opening should be of a size to allow for easy removal of the boiler.

4 Flue
The flue must be installed in accordance with the current issue of BS5440 Part 1.
Important. The flue must be installed with a fall of 35mm per metre (2°) towards the boiler, see diagram 4.1.
It is of no advantage to exceed the angle of 2°, indeed sealing of the fan to the flue elbow may become more difficult as the angle is increased.
The air and flue duct connect to the top of the boiler using an elbow which can be positioned to the side or rear.
The rear and side flue assemblies are designed for internal installation, but if necessary, due to insufficient clearances (boiler/flue terminal location) they can be installed from the outside.
For a wall thickness up to 300mm the flue can be fully installed from the inside.
For a wall thickness over 300mm the external cut hole will need to be made good from the outside.
The standard flue is able to provide the duct lengths as shown in diagram 4.2 for a rear flue and diagram 4.3 for a side flue.
If a longer flue duct is required, do not extend the ductings. A 1, 2 or 3metre flue and terminal can be supplied.
Make sure flue slopes
MB
The minimum acceptable spacings from the terminal to obstructions and ventilation openings are as shown in diagram 4.4.
The boiler must be installed so that the terminal is exposed to the external air.
It is important that the position of the terminal allows the passage of air across it at all times.
Note. The flue will produce a plume of condensation in cold weather, so special care must be taken in the siting of the flue terminal so as not to cause a nuisance to adjacent property.
Where the terminal is fitted within 600mm (24in) below plastic guttering an aluminium shield 1500mm (5ft) long should be fitted to the underside and immediately beneath the guttering or eaves.
Where the terminal is fitted within 450mm (18in) below eaves or painted guttering an aluminium shield 750mm 2ft6in) long should be fitted to the underside and immediately beneath the guttering or eaves.
A terminal guard is required if persons could come into contact with the terminal or the terminal could be subject to damage.
If a terminal guard is required, it must be positioned to provide a minimum of 50mm clearance from any part of the terminal and be central over the terminal, see diagram 4.4.
A suitable terminal guard can be obtained from:
Tower Flue Components Ltd., Morley Road, Tonbridge, Kent. TN9 1RA
their reference CGD K3 BL
5.1 Unpacking - refer to diagram 5.1.
Remove the wall template, top cardboard fitting, Refer to diagram 5.1 for contents. Lift off outer case front. Remove protective packing piece.
Remove the cover of the inner case, see diagram 5.3.
Having selected the location and flue application, with due regard to the terminal position.
Take the template and temporarily position it on the wall, see diagram 5.4, making sure that the minimum clearances are maintained.
For a rear flue, mark the position of the flue as diagram 5.4.
For a side flue, extend the centre line horizontally (taking into account the required fall towards the boiler) left or right to the corner of the adjacent surface where the flue is required to exit to the outside.
Alternatively, the increase in the centre line height over a distance "x" is given by H=0.035x. Mark the position of the centre of the flue, as diagram 5.4.
Having marked out the flue centre cut a hole for the flue, see diagram 5.5 for minimum core drill size for various wall thicknesses.
This will allow for the 35mm per metre (2°) fall towards the boiler.
Note: If required, an optional Wall Liner Kit, part No.900862, is available, complete with fixing instructions.
Reposition the template, making sure of dimensional alignment with the flue centre lines.
Mark the boiler securing screws and mounting plate position, see diagram 5.6.
Drill holes and plug, fit the securing screws, allowing sufficient clearance to accept the keyhole fixing brackets and secure the boiler mounting bracket to the wall.
Lift the boiler into position above the boiler mounting bracket, lowering the boiler into position at the same time locating the key hole slots of the boiler onto the securing screws, when located secure with the screws, see diagram 5.6.
Make the water connections to the heating system, see diagram 6.1.
The boiler has compression connections with nuts and olives supplied loose in the fittings pack, to accept 28mm outside diameter copper tube to BS2871.
They may be reduced to 22mm provided that the system resistance does not exceed the chosen pump duty.
The right hand connection is the flow from the boiler.
The condensate drain connection is at the bottom right of the boiler.
The drain ends in a spigot which is suitable for push-fit 22mm (3/4in) overflow pipe, for example, Hepworth, Polypipe, Uponor, Osma or Oracstar. If using Marley, Terrain or Hunter tubing, which is slightly larger, use silicone sealant provided in the fittings pack to make a leakproof joint to the drain connection on the boiler.
The condensate discharge pipe should have a fail of 21/2°.
It is not necessary to provide air breaks or traps in the discharge pipe since the boiler has an integral trap and siphon.
The boiler is fitted with a safety device to prevent the boiler from working if the condensate pipe gets blocked by either ice or debris.
It is, therefore, recommended that any external condensate drain pipe is insulated to prevent freezing up.
Alternately, a larger diameter pipe can be used and insulated. The condensate pipe should be checked during any servicing and any debris removed.
Refer to the British Gas publication "Guidance Notes for the Installation of Domestic Condensing Boilers" for advice on the disposal of the boiler condensate.
Mark and cut the air duct terminal assembly, see diagram 7.1 and the flue duct, diagram 7.2 to the lengths required, cutting square and removing any burrs.
Refer to diagram 7.3, mark through the holes in the flue elbow assembly and drill the duct as shown, making sure of the correct alignment of the "Top".
Mark and cut the air duct terminal assembly, see diagram 7.4 and flue duct, diagram 7.5 to the lengths required, cutting square and removing any burrs.
Refer to diagram 7.3 mark through the holes in the flue elbow assembly and drill the flue duct as shown, making sure of the correct alignment of the "Top".
If access to the outside wall is not practical, the flue system can be installed from inside. Use of the optional wall liner kit recommended.
Apply sealant to the flue duct, locate into the air duct terminal, see diagram 7.6.
Apply sealant to the elbow spigot and then locate the flue and air terminal assembly to the flue elbow as shown in diagram 7.3, making sure of the alignment of the "Top".

Using PVC insulated cable to the current issue of BS6500 Table 16, and of suitable length, thread the cable through the small cable clamp and connect to the required terminals, see diagram 9.2.
Standard colours are, brown - live, blue - neutral, green and vellow - earth.
The mains cable outer insulation must not be cut back external to the cable clamp.
When making connections, make sure that the earth conductor is made of a greater length than the current carrying conductors, so that if the cable is strained the earth conductor would be the last to become disconnected.
It is essential that the polarity is correct.
The pump must be connected directly to the control box, as shown in diagram 9.2.
Any external controls must only be connected to interrupt the Red Link between terminals 1 and SL.
Thread the cable(s) through the large cable clamp in the side of the control box.
Checks to ensure electrical safety should be carried out by a competent person.
In the event of an electrical fault after installation of the system, preliminary system checks as below should be carried out.
The installer is requested to advise and give guidance to the user of the controls scheme used with the boiler.
Please ensure the "Benchmark" logbook is completed and left with the user.
Commissioning should be carried out by a competent person in accordance with the current issue of BS6798.
Make sure that the system has been thoroughly flushed out with cold water without the pump in place.
Refit the pump, fill the system with water, making sure that all air is properly vented from the system and pump.
Fill the system until the pressure gauge registers 2.7bar (40lbf/ in2). Clear any air locks and check for leakage.
Check the operation of the safety valve, preferably by allowing the water pressure to rise until the valve lifts. This should be within +/-0.3bar (+/-4.3lbf/in2), of the preset pressure. Where this is not possible a manual check should be carried out.
Release the cold water to initial design pressure.
WARNING. The multifunctional control, fan and control box work on MAINS voltage, terminals will become live.
Check that the mains electrical supply to the boiler is switched off and that the "ON/OFF" switch on the boiler is "OFF".
Turn on the supply at the gas service cock.
Loosen the burner pressure test point screw and fit a suitable pressure gauge, see diagram 8.1.
Turn the electrical supply to the boiler on and check that all remote control are calling for heat.
Turn the "ON/OFF" switch on the boiler to "ON".
The boiler lighting operation is now automatic.
The fan operates, followed by an ignition spark until the burner lights.
The burner will remain alight until switched off by the control thermostat or other remote control.
The automatic lighting sequence will operate again when heat is required.
WARNING. Do not smoke or use any naked lights whilst doing the following.
With the boiler on carry on as follows:-
Test for gas soundness around the boiler gas components using a suitable leak detection fluid, in accordance with the current issue of BS6891.
Check the burner pressure at least 10 minutes after the burner has lit, refer to Data label.
If the main burner pressure requires adjustment, the adjustment nut is on top of the multifunctional control, see diagram 10.1.
Should any doubt exist about the gas rate, check it using the gas meter test dial and a stop watch, at least 10 minutes after the burner has lit, make sure that all other gas burning appliances and pilot lights are off, see Table 2.
Turn the "ON/OFF" switch to "OFF". Remove the pressure gauge from the test point and refit the screw, making sure a gas tight seal is made.
When the "ON/OFF" switch is turned to "OFF", by hand, wait at least 30 seconds before turning "ON" again.
There may be an initial smell given off from the boiler when new, this is quite normal and it will disappear after a short period of time.
Refit the electrical controls box.
Check that all remote controls are calling for heat.
Allow the system to reach maximum temperature and examine for water leaks. The boiler should then be turned off and the system drained off as rapidly as possible whilst still hot.
Refill the system, vent and again check for water soundness.
For sealed water systems adjust to initial design pressure. The set pointer on the pressure gauge should be set to coincide with the indicating pointer.
The overrun thermostat will keep the pump running when the boiler shuts down, so long as the temperature within the boiler is above a predetermined level.
When commissioning the system the boiler should be fired with the bypass fully closed on full service, that is, central heating and domestic hot water.
The system should then be balanced, adjusting the pump and lockshield valve as necessary to achieve the flow rates, refer to Section 2.4.
Having achieved a satisfactory condition, operate the boiler with the bypass closed on minimum load, normally central heating only with one radiator operating in the main living area. The valve should be opened gradually to achieve the appropriate flow rate as quoted in Section 2.4. If necessary readjust the pump.
Under NO circumstances should this valve be left in the FULLY closed position.
After 30 minutes of running, turn the boiler off and remove the inner case.
Check that there are no condensate leaks from the fan outlet/ flue elbow or fan inlet/flue hood joints. Also check for leaks from the condensate drainage system.
Switch the "ON/OFF" switch to "ON" and any system controls to their required settings.
Do not attempt to adjust the thermostat calibration screw.
Operate the boiler again on full service and check that the balancing is satisfactory, making further adjustments as necessary to the system, radiator valves and bypass.
There must be no pumping over of water or entry of air at the vent above the feed and expansion cistern.
If thermostatic radiator valves are fitted care must be taken to make sure that there is an adequate flow rate through the boiler and bypass when the valves are closed. For guidance on the use of thermostatic radiator valves refer to the current issue of BS7478 and the British Gas publication "Guidance Notes for Installation of Domestic Condensing Boilers".
To check the operation of the flame supervision device, with the burner alight, turn gas service cock to "Off", the burner will go out. There will be one attempt to relight, indicated by a five to ten seconds ignition phase.
Wait for 30 seconds.
Turn the gas service cock "ON" and the burner should NOT relight.
Switch the "ON/OFF" switch to "OFF" and then "ON" again the burner WILL now relight.
Refit the outer case, see diagram 5.2 and secure the case with the screws from the fittings pack.
Instruct and demonstrate the efficient and safe operation of the boiler, heating system and if fitted, the domestic hot water system.
Advise the user that, like all condensing boilers this appliance will produce a plume of condensation from the flue terminal in cool weather. This is due to the high efficiency and hence low flue gas temperature of the boiler.
Advise the user that if the boiler should fail to come on at the required time, turn the boiler "OFF" and then "ON" again, the ignition system will be reset and the boiler light.
Advise the user of the precautions necessary to prevent damage to the system and building in the event of the heating system being out of use during frost and freezing conditions.
Advise the user, that the ensure the continued efficient and safe operation of the boiler it is recommended that it is checked and serviced at regular intervals. The frequency of servicing will depend upon the particular installation conditions and usage, but in general once a year should be enough.
Draw attention, if applicable, to the current issue of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, Section 35, which imposes a duty of care on all persons who let out any property containing a gas appliance.
It is the law that servicing is carried out by a competent person.
