Important Information

General

The Energysaver Combi 2 can provide room heating as part of a central heating system, and domestic hot water direct from the cold water supply. Instantaneous domestic hot water is available from a small integral hot water storage vessel, so additional secondary storage is not required. The central heating water temperature and domestic hot water temperature can both be adjusted on the boiler.

Once the controls are set the boiler operates automatically. When there is no heating or hot water demand the burner may operate very occasionally to maintain the temperature of the hot water in the storage vessel at the required level. If there is no heating demand for 24 hours then the pump and 3-way valve will be operated to prevent them sticking. A frost protection program is also included.

Please read these instructions and follow them carefully for the safe and economical use of your boiler.

to irritation. High dust levels are usual only if the material is broken.

Instructions for Use

Gas Leak or Fault

If a gas leak or fault exists or is suspected, turn the boiler mains electrical supply off and turn off the gas supply at the meter. Consult your local gas company or your local installation/ servicing company.

Electrical Supply Failure

The boiler will not work without an electrical supply. Normal operation of the boiler should resume when the electrical

supply is restored. If not, the boiler safety cut-off may have operated, please refer to the following section to reset.

Reset any external controls, to resume normal operation of the central heating.

The digital timer, if fitted, has a lithium battery back up and will not need resetting.

Normal handling should not cause discomfort, but follow normal good hygiene and wash your hands before eating, drinking or going to the lavatory.

If you do suffer irritation to the eyes or severe irritation to the skin seek medical attention.

Reset Button

Refer to diagram 1 which shows the fascia behind the drop down door.

If the burner goes out check the digital display. Flashing digits on the display indicate a fault. Allow the boiler to cool down for at least four minutes then press the ‘reset’ button. This should restart the boiler.

To obtain service call your installer or Heatcall (Glow-worm’s own service organisation) using the telephone number given on the front page of these instructions.

Dripping taps

If a hot water tap is dripping there is a possibility that the boiler will not supply central heating when there is a demand. This will occur when the boiler controller can detect a flow in the domestic hot water circuit. It will continue to supply hot water until the flow is no longer detected. To solve this problem either turn off the dripping tap or replace the tap seal as required.

Maintenance and Servicing

If 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.

Servicing/maintenance should be carried out by a competent person in accordance with the rules in force in the countries of destination.

To obtain service, please call your installer or Heatcall (Glowworm’s own service organisation) using the telephone number on the front cover of this booklet.

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 boiler Logbook. You can check your installer is CORGI registered by calling CORGI direct on :- 01256 372300.

If in doubt, contact you installation/servicing company for advice. As a safety feature the boiler will stop working if the condensate

drain becomes blocked. The display will repeatedly flash ‘

‘8*’. During freezing conditions this may be due to the

then forming of ice in the condense drain external to the house. Release an ice blockage by the use of warm cloths on the pipe. Press the reset button to restart the boiler. Contact your installation / servicing company if the fault persists.

0’

Draining and Filling

This boiler works in a pressurised system which must only be drained, refilled and pressurised by a competent person.

If the pressure gauge indicates a loss of system pressure, i.e. less than 0.7bar, the appliance will shut down showing flashing:

‘1’ then ‘2*’ on the display. YOU MUST CONTACT YOUR

INSTALLER.

Pressure Relief Safety Valve

A pressure relief safety valve and discharge pipe is fitted to the boiler. This valve must not be touched. Should there be

any discharge from the pipe, isolatethe boiler electrical supply andcontact your installation/servicing company.

Cleaning

This appliance contains metal parts and care should be taken when handling and cleaning with particular regard to edges.

The boiler casing can be cleaned using a mild liquid detergent with a damp cloth, then a dry cloth to polish.

Do not use any form of abrasive or solvent cleaner as you may damage the paint work.

Boiler Casing

Do not remove or adjust the casing in any way, as incorrect fitting may result in incorrect operation or failure to operate at all. If in doubt seek advice from the local gas company or your

installation/servicing company.

Replacement Parts

If replacement parts are required apply to your local supplier or British Gas.

Please quote the name of the appliance.

Pluming from flue terminal

All condensing boilers produce a plume of water vapour from the flue terminal. This is due to the high efficiency and hence low flue gas temperature. This may increase in wet, damp weather but is nothing to worry about.

Clearances

If the boiler is fitted into a compartment or cupboard do not use the compartment or cupboard for storage.

Protection Against Freezing

The boiler has a built in frost protection programme as long as the electricity and gas are left switched on.

This device only protects the boiler. Any other exposed areas of the system should be protected.

If the mains electricity and gas are to be turned off for any long periods during severe weather, it is recommended that the whole system, including the combination boiler, should be drained to avoid the risk of freezing.

2 Boiler Position

2.1 Location

The boiler is not suitable for fitting outdoors. Any electrical switch or boiler control using mains electricity

must be positioned so that it cannot be touched by a person using a bath or shower.

The boiler must be mounted on a flat wall which is sufficiently robust to take its weight, refer to Table 2.

2.2 Clearances

The boiler should be positioned so that at least the minimum operational and servicing clearances are provided, see diagram

2.1. Additional clearances may be beneficial around the boiler for

installation and servicing. For flue installations where external access is not practicable,

consideration should be given for the space required to insert the flue internally which may necessitate clearance larger than those specified in diagram 2.1.

3 Flue Location and Ventilation

3.1 Flue Position and Length

There are several flueing options available for the Energysaver Combi, e.g. horizontal, vertical and twin flue.

The standard horizontal flue is fitted onto the top of the boiler using the flue elbow.

See diagrams 3.1 to 3.3 to determine whether a standard flue can be used.

The standard flue can be extended using 1m long extension kits and 90° elbows. A maximum of 3500mm of extension pipes plus 3x90° bends can be added to the standard horizontal flue length.

When extension pipes are used the flue system must be designed to have a continuous fall to the boiler of at least 2.5° to allow condensate to run back into the boiler and out via the drain.

3.2 Internal Flue Installation

The flue can be installed from inside the building, when access to the outside wall face is not practicable.

3.3 Terminal Position

The minimum acceptable siting dimensions for the terminal from obstructions, other terminals and ventilation openings are shown in diagram 3.4.

The terminal must be exposed to the external air, allowing free passage of air across it at all times.

Being a condensing boiler some pluming may occur from the flue outlet. This should be taken into consideration when selecting the position for the terminal.

Car ports or similar extensions of a roof only, or a roof and one wall, require special consideration with respect to any openings, doors, vents or windows under the roof. Care is required to protect the roof if made of plastic sheeting. If the car port comprises of a roof and two or more walls, seek advice from the local gas supply company before installing the boiler.

If the terminal is fitted less than 600mm below plastic guttering or less than 450mm below painted eaves or a painted gutter, an aluminium shield 750mm long should be fitted immediately beneath the guttering or eaves.

3.4 Terminal Guard

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 minimum of 50mm clearance from any part of the terminal and be central over the terminal.

The guard should be similar to that shown in diagram 3.5. A suitable guard can be obtained from. Tower Flue Components Morley Rd. Tonbridge Kent TN9 1RA. Their Reference CGD K3 BL.

3.5 Timber Frame Buildings

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.

3.6 Room Ventilation

The boiler is room sealed, so when it is installed in a room or space, a permanent air vent is not required.

3.7 Cupboard or Compartment Ventilation

Due to the high efficiency and hence low casing temperature of this boiler, cupboard or compartment ventilation is not necessary.

4 Heating System

4.1 General

The boiler is for use only with sealed central heating systems. The safety valve is an integral part of the boiler and it cannot be

adjusted.

A pressure gauge is incorporated on the boiler control panel to indicate the system pressure.

The circulation pump is integral with the boiler. The Combi 280 is fitted with a UPS 25-50 pump and the Combi 2-100 is fitted with a UPS 25-60 pump. Performance curves for both pumps are shown in diagram 4.1.

4.2 Expansion Vessel

The boiler has an integral expansion vessel with a capacity of 7 litres (1.54 gallons), with a charge pressure of 0.5bar.

The maximum heating system water content using the fitted expansion vessel is 130 litres at an average temperature of

C, and charge pressure of 1.0bar.

4.3 Flow Rate

The minimum flow rate through the boiler is 1053 litres/hr for ES80 and 1230 litres/hr for ES100. This is equal to 20 differential at maximum heat input.

The system can be fitted with a lockable balancing valve if necessary in the main flow or return pipes shown as valve "A" in diagram 4.2.

4.4 Bypass

The boiler is fitted with a manual bypass, see diagram 4.3. This valve may be adjusted by the installer if necessary to ensure at least 1053 litres/hr for ES80 and 1230 litres/hr for ES100 flow through the boiler. The boiler is supplied with the bypass open by approximately half a turn and is closed by turning the white screw clockwise. However for systems completely fitted with thermostatic radiator valves or systems of high pressure loss an additional bypass valve must be fitted to the heating circuit to ensure that under no circumstances does the flow rate drop below this level.

An additional bypass valve “B” is shown in diagram 4.2.

4.5 Filling Sealed Systems

Provision for filling the system at a low level must be made. Two methods of filling are shown in diagram 4.4. There must be no permanent connection to the mains water supply, even through a non-return valve.
