Response SE:
The super efficiency combi boiler
The Ideal Response SE is a wall mounted, fanned flue combination boiler
which serves a home's central heating system and delivers instant hot
water on demand. It has been designed to be 'friendly' to the user, installer
and service engineer.
Response SE: The fit anywhere combi
Simple fanned 'go anywhere' flue
The Response SE's flue turret simply rotates through 360° to allow
horizontal outlet in any direction. Options include horizontal flue length
extensions or simple vertical flue kits - and the flue is self-sealing,
eliminating the need for outside assembly, an important benefit in highrise applications.
Downward or upward connections...
Water and gas connections have been designed to be as simple and fast
as possible. The Ideal Response SE comes complete with a rugged
mounting frame which can accommodate downward or upward routed
gas, water and electrical connections before the boiler is fitted.
...and it fits inside a cupboard
Its compact size makes the Response SE ideal for any kitchen. It can be
installed inside a cupboard without any ventilation.
Response SE: The combi you can rely on
The Response SE has been designed and developed with reliability as
the number one priority. But even the finest engineered product may
develop a fault at some stage in its lifetime. To support the Response SE
we've created the Ideal Care Guarantee which sets out our target to repair
any fault next day.
Free Guarantee: 1st Year Ideal Care
The home owner is entitled to 12 months free Ideal Care, which includes
both parts and labour, to restore the boiler to full function. Please encourage
the home owner to complete and return the registration form in their
Householder's pack within 30 days of installation.
Optional Extra Year Cover with Ideal Care
You may wish to offer your own annual service plan or you may wish to
advise the home owner to complete their application form for the
appropriate level of extended Ideal Care - Silver, Gold or Platinum. Full
details are available in the Ideal Care brochure.

BOILER CONTROLS
Introduction
The Response SE is a wall mounted, room sealed, super
efficient condensing combination boiler, featuring full
sequence automatic spark ignition and fan assisted
combustion.
Due to the very high efficiency of the boiler, condensate is
produced from the flue gases and this is drained to a
suitable disposal point through the plastic waste pipe at
the left lower rear of the boiler. A condensate 'plume' will
also often be visible at the flue terminal.
The Response SE is a combination boiler providing both
central heating and instantaneous domestic hot water.
Gas safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1994,
amendments 1996 or rules in force.
In your own interest, and that of safety, it is the law that this
boiler must be installed by a registered installer, in accordance
with all national and local regulations.
It is essential that the instructions in this
booklet are strictly followed, for safe and
economical operation of the boiler.
Electricity Supply
Connection must be made in a way that allows complete
isolation of the electrical supply such as a double pole
switch having a 3mm (1/8") contact separation in both
poles, or a plug and socket, serving only the boiler and
system controls. The means of isolation must be
accessible to the user after installation,
The fusing should be 3A.

IMPORTANT
• THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE OPERATED WITHOUT
THE CASING CORRECTLY FITTED.
• If the boiler is installed in a compartment then the
compartment MUST NOT be used for storage purposes.
• Clearances of 180mm above, 100mm below, 5mm at the
sides and 450mm at the front of the boiler casing must be
allowed for servicing.
• If it is known or suspected that a fault exists on the boiler
then it MUST NOT BE USED until the fault has been
corrected by a registered installer.
To light the boiler
(see illustration below)
1. Check that the electricity supply to the boiler is OFF.
2. Open the controls access door .
3. Set the on/off switch (C) and CH switch (D) to OFFand
ensure that all DHW taps are turned off.
4. Switch ON the electricity supply to the boiler and check that
all external controls, e.g. programmer, room thermostat, etc.,
are ON.
If a programmer is fitted, refer to the separate instructions
provided.
5. Set the on/off switch (C) to ON and CH switch (D) to the
desired position.
The boiler will first execute a self-check cycle then
commence the ignition sequence, first supplying heat to
preheat the domestic hot water and then to the central
heating, if required.

Frost protection
This is provided automatically by the boiler control unit. If frost is
likely during an absence from home, turn the boiler off at the time
switches ONLY, leaving the mains supply switched ON.
If the boiler flow temperature falls below 7
o
C the pump will run,
without the boiler firing, until the temperature exceeds 10
o
C.
If the flow temperature falls below 3
o
C the boiler will fire until the
temperature exceeds 10 oC.
Fault condition
If the boiler will not light initially or if a fault develops during normal
operation, the first digit and the last 2 digits of the display will flash
alternately. In this event press the RESET button and the boiler
will recommence the ignition cycle.
If the fault condition persists, turn the boiler OFF and consult your
local registered installer.
Loss of system water pressure
The gauge (E) on the control panel indicates the central heating
system pressure. If the pressure is seen to fall below the original
installation pressure of 1-2 bar over a period of time then a water
leak is indicated. In this event consult your local registered installer.
DO NOT OPERATE THE BOILER IF THE PRESSURE HAS
REDUCED TO ZERO FROM THE ORIGINAL SETTING.
Escape of gas
Should a gas leak be suspected contact your local gas supplier
IMMEDIATELY.
Do NOT search for gas leaks with a naked flame.
Condensate drain
The condensate drain must NOT be modified or blocked.
Blockage caused by debris or freezing can cause automatic
shutdown of the boiler.
If freezing is suspected and the pipe run is accessible, an attempt
may be made to free the obstruction by pouring hot water over the
exposed pipe and clearing any blockage from the end of the pipe.
If this fails to remedy the problem seek advice from your local
registered installer.
Cleaning
For normal cleaning simply dust with a dry cloth.
To remove stubborn marks and stains, wipe with a damp cloth
and finish off with a dry cloth.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials.
Maintenance
The appliance should be serviced at least once a year by a
registered installer, local gas authority or registered service
organisation.
Note. In the normal running STANDBY mode, the left hand
display digit indicates the boiler sequence and the other 2
digits the boiler flow temperature.

Operation
WINTER CONDITIONS - i.e. CH and DHW required.
Set the CH switch (D) to ON.
The boiler will fire and supply heat to the radiators but will give
priority to DHW on demand.
The DHW preheat will operate as described under 'Summer
conditions' during periods when there is no call for CH.
SUMMER CONDITIONS - i.e. DHW only required.
Set the CH switch (D) to OFF.
The boiler will fire for approximately one minute, to preheat the
DHW heat exchanger and thereafter fire periodically for a few
seconds in order to maintain the temperature.
Control of water temperature
DOMESTIC HOT WATER
The DHW temperature is limited by the boiler controls to 60 oC
maximum at low draw-off rate.
Additionally, the temperature is controlled by the user via the
draw-off tap : the lower the rate the higher the temperature, and
vice versa.
CENTRAL HEATING
The boiler controls the central heating radiator temperature to a
maximum of 82 oC
DOMESTIC HOT WATER & CENTRAL HEATING
To return the boiler to normal running STANDBY mode press the
RESET button.
To shut down the boiler
1. For short periods
Set the CH switch (D) to OFF.
2. For longer periods
Set the on/off switch (C) and CH switch (D) to OFF, and switch
the electricity supply to OFF.
