Risk of injuries.
2.1.2 Safety discharge valve
A safety discharge valve and discharge pipe are fi tted to the
boiler. This valve must not be touched.
- The heating safety valve opens when the pressure in the
heating circuit exceeds 3 bars.
• Should there be any discharge from the pipe, isolate the boiler
electrical supply and call your installer or Glow-worm’s own
service organisation.
2.1.3 Frost protection
The frost protection system operates the pump to start as soon
as the temperature in the heating circuit falls below 12°C. The
pump stops as soon as the temperature of the water contained
in the heating circuit reaches 15°C. If the temperature in the
heating system falls below 7°C, the burner ignites until it reaches
35°C. The frost-protection system is active when the appliance is
switched on. The system alone cannot ensure that the installation
is protected against frost. An separate frost thermostat is
necessary to control the temperature of the system.

7.2 Recommendations before installing
7.2.1 Domestic hot water circuit design
Water pressure
The minimum working pressure to obtain the maximum domestic
fl ow is 1,0 bar.
The maximum working pressure of the domestic hot water circuit
is 10 bar. If the cold water supply pressure exceeds this, then a
pressure-reducing valve must be fi tted in the supply to the boiler.
‘Hard’ water areas
The temperatures within the heat exchanger are limited by the
boiler control system to minimise scale formation within the hot
water pipework. However, in areas where the water is ‘hard’ (i.e.
more than 200 mg/L of calcium carbonate), it is recommended
that the hot water setting is reduced and that a scale reducer is
fi tted, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or consult the local
water company for additional advice.
Domestic water fl ow rate
The domestic hot water fl ow has a restrictor, factory fi tted, which
reduces the fl ow to a maximum of:
- 30 : 10/min,
- 35 : 12/min,

To ease future servicing it is advisable to use a compression type

IMPORTANT:
i
Wherever possible, the condensate drainage pipe should be
terminated into a suitable internal foul water discharge point
such as an internal soil and vent stack, internal kitchen or
bathroom waste pipe, washing machine waste pipe etc - ensuring
that condensate drains away from the boiler under gravity.
Consideration must always be given to reducing the possibility of
condensate pipes freezing and guidance must always be followed
in the current BS 6798:2009. It is recommended to insulate
external condensate pipes, any insulation must be vermin and
peck-proof.
If it is unavoidable to run and terminate the condensate internally
it is strongly advised to minimise the outside length of pipe and
be of a minimum external diameter of 32 mm. Condensate pipes
that pass through or from appliances installed in lofts, garages
and basements should be treated as external pipes. Follow
good installation practices and remove burrs from cut pipes
and observe the recommended jointing method of the pipes
and fi ttings. Note some installations may require the use of a
condensate pump on order to achieve internal discharge.
The pipe should have a fall of a least 2.5° 44mm/metre

IMPORTANT:
i
The commissioning should be carried out by a competent person
approved at the time by the Health and Safety Executive and in
accordance with the current issue of BS6798.
11.1 Reading the fi lling pressure
The boiler is equipped with an analogue pressure gauge.
The pressure guage is located behind the front panel of the
boiler on the fl ow pipe. The guage is intended to be used as an
installation aid, the guage is not intended to be used by the
customer.
Key
1 White area, pressure too low
2 Grey area, normal operating pressure
3 Red area, pressure too high
To ensure the correct operation of the heating installation, the
indicator on the pressure gauge should be within the grey area
(2) in approximately the central position as shown in the diagram.
This corresponds to a fi lling pressure of between 0.1 MPa and 0.2
MPa (1.0 bar and 2.0 bar).
11.2 Switching on
• Do not operate the boiler without water.
At the time of commissioning, complete all relevant
sections of the Benchmark Checklist located in the centre
pages of this document.

MAINTENANCE
• To obtain service, please call your installer or Glow-worm’s
own service organisation.
PLEASE NOTE: During routine servicing, and after any
maintenance, we recommend that the following must be checked:
- The integrity of the fl ue system and the fl ue seals,
- The integrity of the boiler combustion circuit and the relevant
seals,
- The operational (working) gas inlet pressure at maximum rate,
- The gas rate,
- The combustion performance.
• See the "Safety instructions" chapter for a list of operations to
be performed prior to the maintenance of the application.
• Once the maintenance operations have been completed,
consult the ¨Start Up¨ chapter to restart the appliance.
17.1 Annual Maintenance
17.1.1 Verifi cation of components
• Check that the fl ow sensor is working properly.
See chapter "Specifi c adjustment > Appliance technical
settings and parameter list > Installation settings" and use
code “d.36”.
17.1.3 Cleaning of the components
• Clean the following components:
- The condensate trap
- The heat exchanger.
- The burner
- The fan
17.1.4 Corrosion and anti-sludge protection
In order to avoid corrosion, the addition of a corrosion inhibiter to
the heating circuit water is recommended. The inhibiter will stop
electrolytic reaction and bacterial growth between the diff erent
metals used in the installation.
It will also avoid the formation of gas which could be produced
following the chemical reactions.
It is especially important to treat the water in underfl oor heating
systems, as low temperatures favour bacterial growth. This can
lead to the formation of sludge, which in turn may block some or
all of the circuits.
In order to add the correct dosage of these products, you must
know the volume of water contained in the installation. It is
recommended that you note down the volume for future needs.
The inhibitors must be compatible with the materials employed in
the installation.
• Check that the fan is working properly.
See chapter "Specifi c adjustment > Appliance technical
settings and parameter list > Installation settings" and use
code “d.34”.
• Check that the temperature sensors are working properly.
See chapter "Specifi c adjustment > Appliance technical
settings and parameter list > Installation settings" and use
code “d.3, d.4, d.40, d.41”.
• Check the ionisation quality.
• Check that the thermal fuse protects the appliance against dry
fi re. Disconnect the thermal fuse and check if "F76" fault code
is displayed on the screen.
• Check that the pressure sensor is working properly. The
pressure must be displayed on the screen.
• Check the pressure of the expansion vessel.
