INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
GAS SAFETY
Mini C24, Mini C28 and Mini C32 are wall mounted, low
water content, balanced flue combination gas boilers.
Mini S24 and Mini S28 are wall mounted, low water content,
balanced flue system gas boilers.
Central heating (CH) output and domestic hot water (DHW)
output (on combination versions) are both fully modulating:
--- between 9.10 (31 049) and 24.30 (82 912) kW (btu/h) for
model Mini C24 and Mini S24;
--- between 10.80 (36 849) and 28.40 (96 900) kW (btu/h) for
model Mini C28 and Mini S28.
--- between 12.70 (43 435) and 32.00 (109 184) kW (btu/h) for
model Mini C32.
Theboilersaresuitableforconnectiontofullypumped,
pressurised sealed water systems ONLY.
AsystembypassisnotrequiredwhenTRV’sarefittedtoall
radiators (see Frame 5). The boiler incorporates an automatic
bypass.
A circulating pump, pressure gauge, safety valve and heating
expansion vessels are provided.
The CH flow temperature is controlled by a temperature
probe. In DHW mode the boiler modulates to sustain a
nominal adjustable water flow temperature of 55 ˚C.
The boiler casing is of white painted mild steel with a
drop - --down controls access door.
The boiler temperature control is located behind the control
panel door.
The main heat exchanger is made of copper.
The DHW heat exchanger is stainless steel.
The system pipework must include drain cocks in appropriate
places. Pipework may be taken downwards.
For upwards pipework installation an additional frame
(optional) must be used (see frame 18).
OPTIONAL EXTRA KITS
Programmer Kit (Mini C24, Mini C28, Mini C32 only) fits
neatly within the casing. Separate fitting instructions are
included with the kit. Note. If using an alternative programmer
read Frame 26 first.
Horizontal Concentric Extension Ducts
Up to 4 m (13’ 1”) for models:
Mini C24, Mini S24, Mini C28, Mini S28.
Up to 2,7 m (8’ 10”) for model Mini C32
Other available kits are listed in frame 9.
DHW OPERATION (combi versions)
With no call for CH the boiler fires only when DHW is drawn
off. When there is a call for CH, the heating system is supplied
at the selected temperature until DHW is drawn off. The
output is then directed by the diverter valve to heat the
secondary heat exchanger and supply a maximum draw ---off
of:
Mini C24. 10.0 (2.2) l/min (gpm) at 35 degree rise.
Mini C28 11.6 (2.6) l/min (gpm) at 35 degree rise.
Mini C32 13.1 (2.9) l/min (gpm) at 35 degree rise.
The nominal DHW temperature is 55 ˚C, but water drawn off
when the boiler has been on for central heating may be hotter
than this, for a short period of time.

AIR SUPPLY
It is NOT necessary to have a purpose --- provided air vent in
the room or internal space in which the boiler is installed.
Neither is it necessary to ventilate a cupboard or
compartment in which the boiler is installed, due to the low
surface temperatures of the boiler casing during operation;
therefore the requirements of BS6798, Clause 12, BS 5440:2
and in IE I.S. 813:2002 may be disregarded.
WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM
The boilers are designed for connection to pressurised, fully
pumped, sealed water central heating systems ONLY. The
domestic hot water (DHW) calorifier is incorporated within the
combi boiler and only requires connection to the mains water
supply.
Additional Pumps.
The boiler is supplied with an integral circulating pump. If the
boiler is to be used in conjunction with any additional
circulating pumps, please contact the Technical Helpline for
advice on application.
IMPORTANT
A minimum length of 1m of copper pipe MUST be fitted to
both flow and return connections from the boiler before
connection to any plastic piping.
Ensure that the mains water supply pressure is adequate to
provide the required DHW flow rate. Refer to Table 1 on
page 4.
The central heating system should be in accordance with BS.
6798 and, in addition, for smallbore and microbore systems
BS. 5449.
The domestic hot water system should be in accordance with
BS. 5546 and BS. 6700.
Copper tubing to BS 2871:1 is recommended for water
carrying pipework and MUST be used for pipework carrying
potable water.
Any soldered joints on potable water pipework MUST NOT be
made with solder containing lead.
Mini Installation & Servicing
Ancillary pipework not forming part of the useful heating
surface should be lagged to prevent heat loss and any
possible freezing - -- particularly where pipes run through roof
spaces or ventilated underfloor spaces.
Draining taps should be at least 1/2” BSP nominal size and
be in accordance with BS 2879.
WATER TREATMENT
Central Heating
Antifreeze fluid, corrosion and scale inhibitor fluids suitable for
use with boilers having copper heat exchangers may be used
in the central heating system.
IMPORTANT
The application of any other treatment to this product
may render the guarantee of Ideal Stelrad Group
INVALID.

accordance with the Benchmark Guidance Notes on Water
T r eatment in Central Heating Systems.
Ideal Stelrad Group recommend the use of Fernox, GE Betz
Sentinel or Salamander water treatment products, which must
be used in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
Notes.
1. It is most important that the correct concentration of the
water treatment products is maintained in accordance with
the manufacturers’ instructions.
2. If the boiler is installed in an existing system any unsuitable
additives MUST be removed by thorough cleansing.
BS 7593:2006 details the steps necessary to clean a
domestic heating system.
3. In hard water areas, treatment to prevent lime scale may be
necessary --- however, the use of artificially softened water is
NOT permitted.
4. Under no circumstances should the boiler be fired before
the system has been th oroughly flushed.
Domestic Hot Water
In hard water areas where mains water can exceed 200ppm
Total Hardness (as defined by BS 7593:2006 Table 2) a scale
reducing device should be fitted into the boiler cold supply
within the requirements of the local water company. The use
of artificially softened water, however , is NOT permitted.
Ideal Stelrad Group recommend the use of Fernox
Qantomat, Sentinel Combiguard and Calmag CalPhos I scale
reducing devices, which must be used in accordance with the
manufacturers’ instructions.

7 Draining the system
Draining taps MUST be located in accessible positions to
permit the draining of the whole central heating system,
including the central heating side of the boiler. The taps
should be at least 1/2” BSP nominal size and be in
accordance with BS 2879.
5BOILER CONTROL INTERLOCKS
Thermostatic radiator valves.
Ideal Stelrad Group. support the recommendations made
by leading manufacturers of domestic heating controls that
heating systems utilising full thermostatic radiator valve
control of temperature in individual rooms should also be
fitted with a room thermostat controlling the temperature in a
space served by radiators not fitted with such a valve as
stated in BS5449. Such an arrangement will provide for a
more efficient control of the environment and will also avoid
the continuous running of the circulation pump during
programmed heating ON periods, saving electrical energy.
It is therefore strongly recommended that, when thermostatic
radiator valves are used, the space heating temperature
control over a living/dining area or a hallway, having a heat
requirement of at least 10% of the boiler output, is achieved
using a room thermostat whilst other rooms are individually
controlled by TRV as stated in BS5449.
6DOMESTIC HOT WATER
REQUIREMENTS
1 The domestic hot water service must be in accordance
with BS 5546 and BS 6700.
2 For the minimum and maximum working pressures of the
Mini C24, Mini C28 and Mini C32 domestic hot water
circuit refer to Table 1, page 4.
3 The cold water supply pipe should be flushed before
fitting the boiler.
4 The boilers are suitable for connection to most types of
washing machine and dishwashing appliances.

the following actions:
1 Hand the User’s Instructions to the householder and
explain his or her responsibilities under the Gas Safety
(Installation and Use) Regulations 1994 and amendments
1996 or rules in force.
2 Draw attention to the Lighting Instruction label affixed to
the inside of the lower front door.
3 Explain and demonstrate the lighting and shutting down
procedures.
4 The operation of the boiler and the use and adjustment of
ALL system controls should be fully explained to the
householder, to ensure the greatest possible fuel
economy consistent with household requirements of both
heating and hot water consumption.
5 Advise the user of the precautions necessary to prevent
damage to the system and to the building, in the event of
the system remaining inoperative during frosty conditions.
Mini Installation & Servicing
6 If a programmer is fitted, draw attention to the
Programmer Instructions and hand them to the
householder.
7 After installation and commissioning please complete the
Commissioning Checklist before handover to
the customer.
For IE, it is necessary to complete a “Declaration of
Conformity” to indicate compliance to I.S. 813:2002.
8 Stress the importance of regular servicing by a CORGI
registered installer and that a comprehensive service
should be carried out AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.
In IE, servicing work must be carried out by a competent
person.
Emphasise to the user that the boiler may stop working if the
system pressure is lowered by draining radiators to
decorate behind them. In particular, explain to the user how
the domestic hot water temperature varies with flow rate.
This is especially important when water is drawn off while
the boiler is already running for central heating.
29
SERVICING
35SERVICING SCHEDULE
To ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of the
appliance it is recommended that it is checked at regular
intervals and serviced as necessary.
The frequency of servicing will depend upon the installation
condition and usage but should be carried out at least
annually.
It is the law that any service work must be carried out by a
registered CORGI installer .
In IE, servicing work must be carried out by a competent
person.
SERVICING
1 Turn the heating controls to maximum so that the boiler
lights and remains running. Check that no other gas
appliances in the house are in use or likely to be used.
2 When the boiler has settled down check the gas rate at
the meter (if the meter is of the pointer type you should
time only complete revolutions of the pointer). Check the
gas rate against the figures given in Table 2 for CH
operation.
3 For a combination boiler, fully open a hot water tap. When
the boiler has settled down check the gas rate, as in step
2,checkingthemeasuredrateagainstthefiguresgivenin
Table 3 for HW operation.
4 Run the boiler and check the percentage of CO and CO2
in the flue gasses at the sampling point indicated in the
following drawing.
Note. If your meter reads CO in parts per million the figure
must be divided by 10,000 to convert it to a percentage.
5 IftheratioofCO/CO
measured in steps 3 and 4 are close to nominal then no
further action need be taken. If not, proceed to step 6.
6 Clean the main burner.
7 Clean the heat exchanger.
8 Check the injectors for blockage or damage.
9 Check that the flue terminal is unobstructed.
The servicing procedures are covered more fully in Frames 36
to 41 and MUST be carried out in sequence.
WARNING.
ALWAYS turn off the gas supply at the gas service cock, and
switch off and disconnect the electricity supply to the
appliancebeforeservicing.
Switching the boiler on/off switch ‘off’ does not fully
isolate the boiler.
ALWAYS test for gas soundness and carry out functional
checks on reassembly.
IMPORTANT. When work is complete the boiler inner front
sealing panel MUST be correctly refitted, making a good seal.
DO NOT OPERATE THE BOILER IF THE SEALlNG PANEL
IS NOT FITTED.
