Instructions for Use
Introduction
Please read these instructions and follow them carefully for the
safe and economical use of your boiler.
The Micron series are fanned flue boilers designed to provide
central heating and indirect domestic hot water.
The boiler is fully automatic in operation having only one user
control, the temperature control.
WARNING: It is important that the case is not disturbed or
removed other than for servicing by a competent person.
Gas Leak or Fault
Turn off the gas emergency control valve immediately. Eliminate
all sources of ignition, i.e.smoking, blowlamps, hot air guns etc.
Do not operate electrical lights or switches either on or off. Open
all doors and windows, ventilate the area.
Electrical Supply Failure
Failure of the electrical supply will cause the burner to go out.
Should this occur, operation of the appliance will normally
resume after the electrical supply is restored.
If the boiler does not relight after an electrical supply failure the
overheat safety cutoff device may need resetting, as indicated
by illuminated reset light. Open the controls cover and turn
temperature control to “0” (anticlockwise) and then back to
original position, refer to diagram 9.1.
NOTE: If the boiler is switched OFF, manually, wait at least 30
seconds before switching on again.
Safety Temperature Limiter
If the safety Temperature Limiter operates on any other occasion
than an electrical supply failure, follow the procedure as in
“Electrical Supply Failure”. If the overheat operates again, turn
the appliance off and contact your installation/servicing company.
Protection Against Freezing.
If the boiler is to be out of use for any long period of time during
severe weather conditions we recommend that the whole of the
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. Alternatively, there is a built-in frost
protection which will cause the boiler when it is switched off at
the control knob to operate in the event of the water temperature
in the boiler dropping to 6
again when the temperature of the water in the boiler reaches
about 15
the external controls are set so that the pump runs continuously,
that is they are calling for heat.
NOTE: The frost protection will not operate if the electrical
supply is turned off.
o
C. This will only protect the central heating system if
o
C or 7oC. The boiler will switch off
Maintenance
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.
If this appliance is installed in a rented property in the UK 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.
To obtain service, please call your installer or Glow-worm’s own
Service Organisation using the telephone number given on the
front cover of these instructions.
Please be advised that the ‘Benchmark’ logbook should be
completed by the installation engineer on completion of
commissioning and servicing.

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
cloth or dry polishing duster.
Do not use an abrasive cleaner.
To Turn the Boiler On
Do not operate the boiler wthout water.
SEALED SYSTEMS (only)
The pressure gauge should show at least 0.7bar, anything less
than this figure could indicate a leak and you MUST contact your
installation/servicing company.
ALL SYSTEMS
Turn the electrical supply on to the boiler and check that all
remote controls are calling for heat.
Open the controls cover, see diagram 9.1.
Check also that the programmer (if fitted) is in the “ON” mode.
Turn the control knob clockwise to any position between "O"
and MAX. The maximum temperature setting is approx. 82
(180OF), see diagram 9.1.
The boiler lighting operation is now automatic as follows:
The fan will operate for a short period prior to the start of the
ignition sparks. The gas valve solenoids will open and the
burner will light. This is shown by the "Burner Lit" LED on the
control panel lighting up.
The burner will remain alight until switched off by the control
thermostat, any remote control or the programmer.
NOTE: If the boiler is switched OFF, by hand, wait at least 30
seconds before switching on again.
When the boiler switches off, the boiler will go out.
The automatic lighting sequence will operate again when heat
is required.
Shut the controls cover.
It should be noted that this is a fan flue appliance and fan
operation may be heard.
O
To Turn the Boiler Off
For short periods, turn the control knob anti-clockwise to “0” Off.
To relight, turn the control knob to any position between “0” and
“MAX”.
For longer periods, turn the control knob fully anti-clockwise to
“0” Off and switch off the electrical supply to the boiler.
To relight follow the lighting sequence given above.
Optional Programmer
A programmer is available, which will automatically switch your
central heating system on and off once or twice a day at
whatever times you choose.
NOTE: If the programmer is manually switched on then off when
the boiler is cold, the boiler may continue to operate for about
30 seconds before switching off.

The installation of the boiler must comply with the requirements
of the current issue of BS6798, in Ireland, refer also to the
current edition of I.S.813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.
In GB it is necessary to comply with the Water Supply (Water
Fittings) Regulations 1999 (for Scotland, the Water Byelaws
2000, Scotland).
To comply with the Water regulations your attention is drawn to:
The Water Regulations guide published by the Water Regulations
Advisory Service (WRAS) gives full details of the requirements.
In IE the requirements given in the current edition of I.S.813
“Domestic Gas Installations” and the current Building Regulations
must be followed.
3.1 Frost Protection
There is a built-in frost stat in this boiler. See Protection Against
Freezing in Instructions for Use. Where other parts of the
system are vulnerable this should also be considered as specified
in the current issue of BS5422.
3.2 Pump
The pump, with integral valves, should be fitted in the heating
flow pipework from the boiler, it should be set to produce a
temperature difference of 11
return, with the boiler thermostat set at “MAX”, which is about
o
82
C (180oF).
The pressure loss of the boiler at 30.6 litre/minute giving 11oC
temperature difference is 950mm head of water.
High resistance microbore systems may require a higher duty
pump.
o
C (20oF), between the flow and
The cold feed must be 15mm minimum size.
It is important that the relative positions of the pump, cold feed
and open vent are as shown in diagram 3.1.
The unrestricted open vent from the boiler must rise continuously
to discharge over the feed and expansion cistern.
3.5 Domestic Hot Water System
General - All domestic hot water circuits, connections, fittings
must be in accordance with the relevant standards and water
supply regulations.
For GB: Guidance G17 to G24 and recommendation R17 to
R24 of the Water Regulations Guide.
For IE: The current edition of I.S.813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.
3.6 Cylinder
For all systems supplying domestic hot water the cylinder must
be indirect. It is recommended that the cylinder be fitted with
some form of temperature control.
3.3 Bypass
A bypass is usually unnecessary on systems using a 3 port
diverter valve since one port will remain in the open position at
all times. This allows satisfactory operation of the pump overrun.
However if thermostatic radiator valves are fitted to all radiators
or two port valves are used a bypass is required.
The bypass connection must be at least 2 metres away from the
boiler.

electrical fittings and positioned so that any discharge can be
seen.
3.11 Expansion Vessel - Sealed Systems only
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, unless laid down differently by the manufacturer.
The expansion vessel volume depends upon the total water
system volume and the initial system design pressure. For any
system an accurate calculation of the 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, for IE refer to the current edition of
I.S.813 "Domestic Gas Installations".
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 Data Table 1.

9.1 Electrical
IMPORTANT: On completion of the Service/Fault Finding task
which has required the breaking and remaking of the electrical
connections the earth continuity, polarity, short circuit and
resistance to earth checks must be repeated using a suitable
multimeter.
Refer to: Boiler Fault Finding, see diagram 9.3, Pump Overrun
Fault Finding, see diagram 9.2, Fault Finding Wiring Diagram,
see diagram 9.4, Pictorial Wiring Diagram, see diagram 9.5.
9.2 Electrical Supply Failure
Failure of the electrical supply will cause the burner to go out.
Operation will normally resume on the restoration of the electrical
supply.
If the burner does not relight after an electrical supply failure the
overheat device may need resetting.
Open the control cover, see diagram 9.1 and if the RESET neon
is lit, turn temperature control on the front of the control box to
“0”, and then back again, see diagram 9.1.
If the safety temperature limiter operates at any other time, do
as above, the burner should relight. If the fault persists refer to
fault finding chart.
