Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
The adhesives and sealants used in this appliance are cured and give no known hazard in this state.
Insulation pads / ceramic fibre
These can cause irritation to skin, eyes and the respiratory tract.
If you have a history of skin complaint you may be susceptible to irritation. High dust levels are usual only if the material is broken.
Normal handling should not cause discomfort, but follow normal good hygiene and wash your hands before eating, drinking or going to the lavatory.
If you do suffer irritation to the eyes or severe irritation to the skin seek medical attention.
The insulation is composed of non-combustible material.
Thermostats
These contain very small amounts of xylene in the sealed phial and capillary. If broken, under normal circumstances the fluid does not cause a problem, but in case of skin contact, wash with cold water. If swallowed drink plenty of water and seek medical attention.
Cut-off Device
These contain activated charcoal and a very small amount of chlorodifluormethane in the sealed phial and capillary. If broken, under normal circumstances the fluid does not cause a problem. If there is irritation to the eyes or skin then seek medical attention.
Electrical Supply
WARNING: This boiler must be earthed.
All system components shall be of an approved type and shall be connected in accordance with the current issue of BS7671 and any applicable local regulations.
All external wiring between the appliance and the electrical supply and earthing requirements shall comply with the current IEE Regulations.
Connection of the boiler and system controls to the mains supply must be through a common isolator and must be fused 3A, maximum. This method of connection must be by a fused double pole isolating switch, with a minimum contact separation of 3mm on both poles. The switch should be readily accessible and preferably adjacent to the appliance. It should supply the appliance only and be easily identifiable as so doing.
Alternatively, an unswitched shuttered socket outlet and 3A fused 3 pin plug, both to the current issue of BS1363 may be used provided that they are not used in a room containing a bath or shower.
Wiring to the boiler must be PVC 85oC insulated cable, not less than 0.75mm2 (24/0.20mm).
Gas leak or fault
WARNING: If a gas leak or fault exists or is suspected, turn the boiler off and consult the local gas supply company or your installation/service company.
Manual Handling Guidance
During the appliance installation it will be necessary to employ caution and assistance whilst lifting as the appliance exceeds the recommended weight for a one man lift.
In certain situations it may be required to use a mechanical handling aid.
Take care to avoid trip hazards, slippery or wet surfaces.

Protection Against Freezing.
If the boiler is to be out of use for any long period of time during severe weather conditions we recommend that the whole of the system, including the boiler, be drained off to avoid the risk of freezing up. Make sure that, if fitted, the immersion heater in the cylinder is switched off.
Draining
Draining
System
A draining tap must be provided at the lowest points of the system which will allow the entire system, boiler and hot water cylinder to be drained.
Draining taps should be to the current issue of BS2879.
Boiler
A draining point is fitted at the bottom right hand side of the heat exchanger.
Cover controls to avoid water damage.
If required remove the combustion chamber front cover to improve access.
Appliance Introduction
The Xeon ff series are fanned flue boilers designed to provide central heating and indirect domestic hot water.
The boiler is fully automatic in operation having only one user control, the control thermostat.
The boiler is for use only on G20 gas.
The boiler can be used on an open vented or sealed water system.
When used on an open vented system domestic hot water can only be provided by pumped circulation to the indirect cylinder.

The main burner will remain alight until switched off by the control thermostat or any remote control.
If the boiler is switched OFF, by hand, wait at least 30 seconds before switching on again.
When the boiler switches off, both the pilot and main burner go out.
The automatic lighting sequence will operate again when heat is required.
Refit the controls cover.
It should be noted that this is a fan flue appliance and fan operation may be heard.
To Turn the Boiler Off
For short periods, turn the control thermostat knob anti-clockwise to “O” Off. To relight, turn the control thermostat knob to any position between “MIN” and “MAX”.
For longer periods, turn the control thermostat knob fully anticlockwise to “O” Off and switch off the electrical supply to the boiler.

2 Flue Terminal
2.1 Terminal Position
The minimum acceptable siting dimensions for the terminal from obstructions, other terminals and ventilation openings are shown in diagram 2.1. For Ireland the minimum distances for flue terminal positioning must be those detailed in I.S.813 "Domestic Gas Installations".
The terminal must be exposed to the external air, the position allowing free passage of air across it at all times.
Car ports or similar extensions of a roof only, or a roof and one wall, require special consideration with respect to any openings, doors, vents or windows under the roof. Care is required to protect the roof if it is made of plastic sheeting. If the car port consists of a roof and two or more walls, seek advice from the local gas company before installing the boiler.
If the terminal is fitted within 600mm below plastic guttering or painted soffit an aluminium shield 1500mm long should be fitted immediately beneath the guttering or eaves. If the terminal is fitted within 450mm below painted eaves or a painted gutter, an aluminium shield 750mm long should be fitted immediately beneath the guttering or eaves.
2.2 Terminal Guard
A terminal guard is required if persons could come into contact with the terminal or the terminal could be subject to damage.
If a terminal guard is required, it must be positioned to provide a minimum of 50mm clearance from any part of the terminal and be central over the terminal.
A suitable guard, reference Type K3, can be obtained from:
