CONTROL OF CH TEMPERATURE
back
The output temperature of CH water is adjustable from a
minimum of about 38°C to a maximum of about 85°C by
turning the knob C.
Approx CH flow temperatures for the boiler thermostat
settings:
In these cases, however, it is advisable to install a small water
treatment device or softener. With such a device you should
avoid periodic descaling.
Consequently, the DHW heat exchanger will keep its
performance consistent for a longer period of time with
resulting gas savings.
TO SHUT DOWN THE BOILER
Minimum (38 ° C)
C
Maximum (85 ° C)
CONTROL OF DHW TEMPERATURE
(Mini C24, Mini C28 and Mini C32)
The temperature of the DHW leaving the boiler can be varied
from a minimum of about 35°C to a maximum of about 55°C
(within the power limits of the appliance) by turning the
temperature control knob B.
Minimum (35 ° C)
B
Maximum (55 ° C)
For short periods
To turn the boiler off set the function selector C to the O
position.
The appliance On lamp A will flash every 4 seconds.
For long periods
When you do not expect to use the boiler for a long period:
1 Switch the the electricity supply off.
2 Shut off the gas supply cock and the valves for the water
circuits fitted under the boiler.
3 If necessary, empty the water circuits.
FROST PROTECTION
Mini C24, Mini C28 and Mini C32 appliances are provided
with a built in anti--- freeze system that operates the boiler
when the temperature is below 4 ° C
Therefore, when the boiler is not lit and used in cold weather,
with consequent risk of freezing do not isolate the boiler
from the electricity supply or close the gas inlet cock.
ESCAPE OF GAS
Should a gas leak or fault be suspected contact your local
gas supplier without delay.
Do not search for gas leaks with a naked flame.
CLEANING
Adjustment of the DHW temperature is completely separate
from that of the CH circuit.
The adjustment system integrated within the boiler
automatically controls the flow of gas to the burner in order to
keep the temperature of DHW delivered constant, between
the limits of maximum and minimum output.
Where the demand is at a low level or with the temperature
set to the minimum, it is normal to see a cycle of lighting and
extinguishing of the burner when running.
Adjustment
It is advisable to adjust the DHW temperature to a level
commensurate with the demand, minimising the need to mix
with cold water. In this way, the automatic control facilities will
be fully exploited.
Moreover, where the amount of limescale present in the water
may be particularly great, not exceeding the position as
shown in the following illustration (about 50 ° C) minimises
annoying incidences of scale deposits and clogging.
B
For normal cleaning simply dust with a dry cloth.
To remove stubborn marks and stains use a damp cloth and
mild detergent.
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials.
MAINTENANCE
The appliance should be serviced at least once a year by a
CORGI registered installer.
FAULTS
No heating or hot water
Check that gas and electricity are available at the boiler and
that all switches are on.
Check that the system water water pressure gauge G reads at
least 0,5 bar.
Check the lock--- out signal lamp E. If it is illuminated press the
boiler reset button D to restart the ignition sequence.
Hot water but no heating
Check that the programmer and room thermostat (if fitted) are
both calling for heat.
Heating but no hot water
Check that cold water flows out of the taps at a minimum rate
of 3.5 litres per minute (or 1 pint in 10 seconds or less). If not,
look for stop valves not fully open.
If these simple checks fail to solve the problem, or the
problem recurs, consult your service engineer.
Points for Boiler User
back
Note. In line with our current warranty policy we would ask that you check through the following guide to
identify any problems external to the boiler prior to requesting a service engineers visit. Should the
problem be found to be other than with the appliance we reserve the right to levy a charge for the visit, or
for any pre-arranged visit where access is not gained by the engineer.
Troubleshooting – Typical Non Product Faults
Problem Solution
• Is there power to the boiler i.e. is the left hand side green LED (A) alight and
flashing every 4 seconds. If not this is not a boiler fault – contact the installer
• Check pressure gauge on boiler shows a minimum of 1 bar
Boiler is not working for
central heating or hot water
Boiler goes through ignition
sequence but will not fire for
either central heating or hot
water and then goes to
ignition lockout
If not re-pressurise via the filling loop to 1 bar (if unsure contact your
installer), turn off the tap on the filling loop and press the reset button (D) to
reset the boiler. If unable to do so or if the pressure continues to drop after
filling then contact your installer
• Is the lockout signal lamp (E) alight – Press boiler reset button (D) – If boiler
still does not fire contact the installer
• Check gas supply (try another gas appliance cooker/fire etc) If no gas
supply then this is not a boiler fault – Contact the gas supplier
Fan & pump run
continuously but there is no
attempt at ignition
Mini C Only
Operating for hot water but
will not operate for central
heating
The nature of all combination boilers is to heat up water directly from the incoming mains water supply directly
through the boiler to supply domestic hot water at the stated flow rates, (as shown in the boiler installation
instructions), to achieve a 35°C temperature rise. As the ambient temperature of the cold main varies during the
summer and winter months it is likely in the colder winter months that the flow rate will need to be reduced at the
outlet taps to achieve the same temperatures achieved in the warmer summer months. This is not a fault with the
appliance but is relevant to the varying temperature of the incoming cold mains water supply.
Mini S Only
Operating for hot water but
will not operate for central
heating
Operating for central heating
but will not operate for hot
water
• Check that the air pressure switch test caps, on top of the boiler, are fitted
correctly.
• Check that integral programmer is set to an ‘on’ period and the function
switch is set to ‘auto’ – If it still does not operate contact your installer
• If fitted with an external programmer check that the central heating channel
is set at an ‘on’ period – If it still does not operate contact your installer.
• Check the room thermostat is set at the required temperature – Test the
room thermostat by turning fully up – If this does not respond contact your
installer
• Check the radiator temperature control (C) is set at the winter setting for
central heating.
• If fitted with an external programmer check that the central heating channel
is set at an ‘on’ period – If it still does not operate contact your installer.
• Check the room thermostat is set at the required temperature – Test the
room thermostat by turning fully up – If this does not respond contact your
installer
• If fitted with an external programmer check that the domestic hot water
channel is set at an ‘on’ period – If it still does not operate contact your
installer.
• Check the cylinder thermostat is set at the required temperature – Test the
cylinder thermostat by turning fully up – If this does not respond contact
your installer
