Introduction

It is essential that the instructions in this booklet are
strictly followed, for safe and economic operation of
the boiler.

Current Gas Safety (Installation &
Use) Regulations or rules in force.

In your own interest, and that of safety, it is the law that this

a competent person, in accordance with the above regulations.

Electricity Supply

This appliance must be efficiently earthed.

Supply: 230 V ~ 50 Hz.

The fusing should be 3A.

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.

Important notes

a. This appliance must not be operated without the casing

correctly fitted and forming an adequate seal.

b. If the boiler is installed in a compartment then the compartment

MUST NOT be used for storage purposes.

c. The ventilation provided for the boiler during installation MUST

NOT be blocked, and a check should be made periodically
that the ventilation areas are free from any obstruction.

Minimum clearances

A clearance of 533mm (21") MUST be available at the front of the
boiler for servicing.

The minimum clearances given below MUST be complied with
in order to maintain the safe running of the boiler .

thermostat should be set at position 3.

These settings, however, are offered for general guidance only
and other settings may be found preferable, dependent upon
the type of system installed or as recommended by the
installer.

Control of water temperature

1. Adjust the boiler thermostat (B) to give the required
temperature of central heating.

2. The boiler thermostat automatically switches the main
burner OFF and ON to maintain the selected temperature.
