INTRODUCTION
mini HE C24, mini HE C28 and mini HE C32 are wall
mounted, low water content, balanced flue, condensing
combination gas boilers.
Central heating (CH) output and domestic hot water (DHW)
output are both fully modulating:
-- - between 10.2 (34 936) and 24.6* (83 973) kW (btu/h) for
model mini HE C24;
-- - between 12.1 (41 284) and 28.3* (96 488) kW (btu/h) for
model mini HE C28.
--- between 15.0 (51 180) and 32.2* (109 866) kW (btu/h) for
model mini HE C32.
* outputs for G31 (propane) are slightly different. See section
Boiler Data at page 4 for detailed figures.
Due to the high efficiency of the boiler a plume of water
vapour will form at the terminal during operation.
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 vessel 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 ûC.
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 condensing heat exchanger (recuperator) and the DHW
heat exchanger are 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 25).
OPTIONAL EXTRA KITS

SAFE HANDLING
This boiler may require 2 or more operatives to move it to its
installation site, remove it from its packaging base and during
movement into its installation location. Manoeuvring the boiler
may include the use of a sack truck and involve lifting,
pushing and pulling.
Caution should be exercised during these operations.
Operatives should be knowledgeable in handling techniques
when performing these tasks and the following precautions
should be considered:
F Grip the boiler at the base.
F Be physically capable.
F Use PPE as appropriate, e.g. gloves, safety footwear.
mini HE --- Installation & Servicing
During all manoeuvres and handling actions, every attempt
should be made to ensure the following unless unavoidable
and/or the weight is light.

F Avoid twisting at the waist.
F Avoid upper body/top heavy bending.
F Always grip with the palm of the hand.
F Use designated hand holds.
F Keep load as dose to the body as possible.
F Always use assistance if required.
DHW OPERATION
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 HE C24 10.0 (2.2) l/min (gpm) at 35 degree rise.
mini HE C28 11.7 (2.6) l/min (gpm) at 35 degree rise.
mini HE C32 13.1 (2.9) l/min (gpm) at 35 degree rise.
The nominal DHW temperature is 55 ûC, but water drawn off
when the boiler has been on for central heating may be hotter
than this, for a short period of time.

GENERAL
5BOILER CONTROL INTERLOCKS
Thermostatic radiator valves.
Caradon Ideal Ltd. 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 thermostatic radiator valves 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 HE C24, mini HE C28 and mini HE 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.
For further information refer to “Good Practise Guide 143” a
publication of the energy efficiency office, available from the
building research establishment Garston Watford WD2 7JR
tel: +44 (0) 1923 664258
The boiler is fitted with an automatic internal bypass. No
further system bypass is required.

5 When connecting to suitable showers,i.e.thosedesigned
for modulating domestic hot water, ensure that:
a. The cold inlet to the boiler is fitted with an approved
anti---vacuum or syphon non --- return valve.
b. Hot and cold supplies are of equal pressure.
6 Hard water areas
In areas where the water is ’hard’ it is recommended that
a proprietary scale---reducing device is fitted into the boiler
cold supply, within the requirements of the local water
company.

above the roof. If after calculating or measuring the overall
flue height from the top of the boiler, it is necessary to cut
both pipes of assembly A, then ensure they are cut equally
leaving the inner flue tube longer than the outer air tube as
supplied. (Refer to No. 6 below)
Ensure the cut pipe ends are free from any burrs.
1 Ensure the flue seal collar B is located onto the flue
assembly A.

5 If the last extension duct requires cutting, measure the
distance (outer ducts) between the duct and the terminal
and add 100 mm to this dimension. This gives the length
of the last extension duct.
NOTE. Check thepositionoftheinnerflueductrelativetothe
outer duct on the assembled extension duct(s) and ensure the
terminal flue duct is cut longer than the air duct to ensure
engagement in the final flue duct seal.

the rear of the back panel assembly into the bracket.
As added protection, the boiler should be lifted with the lower
polystyrene packaging in place.
Lower the boiler into position.
Remove the lower packaging. Remove the front and side
panels (refer to frame 30) and strip off the protective coating.
The panels may be placed to one side and re---fitted when the
installation is complete.
Note. Before fitting the flue system, fill the condensate trap
within the boiler by pouring a cupful of water into the flue
outlet A. Take care to ensure that the water is only poured into
the flue outlet, and does not spill into the boiler casing.
Fit the flue system referring to the instructions contained with
the kit.
Make good the internal wall surface using the seal provided.

28CONDENSATE DRAIN
Refer also to the British Gas document: “Guidance Notes
for the installation of Domestic Gas Condensing Boilers”
(1989).
The condensate drain provided on the boiler must be
connected to a drainage point, preferably within the building.
The boiler includes a trap that prevents combustion products
entering the drain. However an additional trap with a seal of at
least 75 mm and an air break between the traps is required if
the condensate drain pipe is connected to sanitary pipework.
Condensate drain
Additional trap
The length of the condensate pipe should be kept at
minimum and must be arranged so that obstruction (e.g.
Discharge pipe
through freezing) of external drainage pipework does not give
rise to spillage within the dwelling.
If a part of the drainpipe runs externally this part should be
kept as short as possible and protected to reduce the risk of
freezing.
IMPORTANT
If excessive external pipework cannot be avoided an
additional condensate removal pump (available as an
option) and insulation are recommended to prevent possible
freezing.
The drain outlet on the boiler is a 25 mm o.d. plastic pipe.
This size must not be reduced below 21.5 mm o.d. (standard
overflow pipe) in any part of its length.
All pipework and fittings in the condensate drain system must
be made of plastic. No other materials may be used.
To avoid condensate being trapped:
--- the drainpipe should be run with a fall of at least 2.5û (45
mm/m) away from the boiler;
--- the number of bends and joints should be kept at
minimum;
--- the drainpipe should be adequately fixed to pevent pipe
sagging.

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

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.

The servicing procedures are covered more fully in Frames 42
to 47 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 tightness 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.

75ELECTRONIC CONTROL/IGNITION
P.C.B. OPTICAL INFORMATION
The electronic control/ignition p.c.b. is provided with three
lamps (L.E.D. indicators) A, that give optical information
during the normal operation of the boiler or for service and
fault fiinding purpose.
Normal operation
The green lamp on the left is directly visible on the control
panel fascia and it gives information during the normal
operation of the boiler. The other two lamps are normally
switched off.
The following table gives the relationship between the visible
lamp indication and its meaning.
Boiler in stand--- by condition.
(function control inposition).
Anti---freeze system active.

in either DHW mode or CH mode.
In both figures the relationship between the position of the
actuator and the resistance of the motor windings (the motor
must be disconnected from the wiring) is also given.
