These appliances are designed for use with a sealed heating system only and are not in­tended for use on an open vented system.
The provision of stored domestic hot water is possible by the addition of an indirect cylinder with 'S' or 'Y' plan controls.
An automatic range-rating facility is incorpo­rated in the boiler for the central heating sys­tem in conjunction with the electronic burner modulation. The domestic hot water (dhw) service utilises a motorised control combined with a 3 port diverter valve to give hot water priority which also benefits from a preheat function.
The Vokèra Linea 24 & 28 are combined central heating and domestic hot water appli­ances. By design they incorporate full se­quence electronic ignition, circulating pump, expansion vessel, safety valve, temperature gauge, pressure gauge and 3 port diverter valve.
They are produced as room sealed appli­ances suitable for wall mounting applications only. They are provided with a fan powered flue outlet with an annular co-axial combustion air intake which can be rotated through 360 degrees. A vertical & twin flue option is avail­able They are also suitable for S.E. duct instal­lation.

SECTION 2 DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND OPERATING SEQUENCE
2.1 Fig.1 illustrates the general layout of compo-
nents. Fig.2 illustrates the operating principles described below.
2.2 Central Heating Mode
2.2.1 When the various switches and controls im-
pose a demand for heat, the pump is started. If the primary pressure is sufficient, the elec­tronic circuitry is energised. The fan is started, the gas valve is energised at an intermediate rate and the electronic ignition goes through an ignition attempt.
2.2.2 The burner ignition is checked by the elec­tronic circuitry to ensure correct ignition of the burner; once successful the gas will flow at 75% of maximum heat input for a period of approximately 15 minutes and then go to maximum heat input to maximise heating per­formance, unless the boiler nears optimum temperature where it will modulate down to suit system load.
2.2.3 As water temperature increases this is sensed by the temperature sensor on the primary heat exchanger which modulates the burner to match the heat output to the heat requirement of the system.
2.2.4 Depending on the load, either a) The water temperature will continue to rise and the burner will continue to modulate down; The burner will switch off at maximum temperature, or b) the water temperature will fall; the burner will return to a higher output to match demand.
2.3 Domestic Hot Water Mode
2.3.1 The appliances incorporate a hot water preheat
facility. The appliance will therefore ignite periodically to maintain heat within the appli­ance.
2.3.2 The appliance will operate in domestic hot water mode whenever the mode selector switch is on regardless of mode selector switch position and any demand for central heating.
2.3.3 The diverter valve will automatically energise into the hot water position after central heating demand, or will stay in the hot water position after hot water demand. Opening a draw off tap will energise the pump and fan sending primary water to the domestic hot water heat exchanger.
2.3.4 Temperature control is transferred to the do­mestic hot water thermostat (potentiometer) which modulates the burner output between high and low flame to maintain an average heat input to suit the dhw output required.
2.3.5 An overrun is incorporated in the boiler in both c/h & dhw modes. The fan overruns until the boiler water cools to approximately 80°C (176°F).
2.4 Safety Devices
2.4.1 In both central heating and hot water modes
safe operating is ensured by: A. Differential pressure unit in the primary
circuit which prevents burner operation if water pressure is too low.
B. An electronic device that checks the pri­mary pressure unit for activation. Failure re­sults in deactivation of the pump, after ap­proximately 10 minutes of operation.
C. A safety thermostat, which interrupts the control circuit shutting off the gas valve. At the same time the fan will still operate.
D. A Pressure differential switch in the flue system to check the fan's operation before allowing ignition.
2.4.2 A safety valve is provided to relieve excess pressure from the primary circuit.
2.4.3 Frost Thermostat
The appliance has a built in frost protection circuit. Should the boiler temperature sensed at the primary thermistor fall below 5°C, the boiler will operate in central heating mode and continue to operate until the primary thermistor reaches approximately 40°C.

SECTION 4 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
4.0 General Requirements
This appliance must be installed by a compe­tent person in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1998.
4.1 Related Documents
The installation of this boiler must be in ac­cordance with the relevant requirements of the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regula­tions 1998 the Local Building Regulations, the current l.E.E. Wiring Regulations, the by-laws of the local water undertaking, and in Scot­land, in accordance with the Building Stand­ards (Scotland) Regulation. In Ireland the lo­cal building regulations (IE).
It should be in accordance also with any rel­evant requirements of the local authority and the relevant recommendations of the follow­ing British Standard Codes of Practice:
4.2 Location of Appliance
The combination boiler may be installed in any room or internal space, although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of the current l.E.E. Wiring Regulations, and in Scot­land, the electrical provisions of the Building Regulations applicable in Scotland, with re­spect to the installation of the combination boiler in a room or internal space containing a bath or shower.
Where a room-sealed appliance is installed in a room containing a bath or shower, any electrical switch or appliance control, utilising mains electricity, should be located in such a position that it cannot be touched by a person using the bath or shower.
The location chosen for the boiler must permit the provision of a satisfactory flue and termi­nation. The location must also permit an ad­equate air supply for combustion purposes and an adequate space for servicing and air circulation around the boiler.
Where the installation of the boiler will be in an unusual location special procedures may be necessary and BS 6798:1987 gives detailed guidance on this aspect.
Pipework from the meter to the boiler must be of adequate size. Pipes of a smaller size than the boiler inlet connection should not be used.
The complete installation must be tested for soundness as described in the above code.
N.B. If the gas supply for the boiler serves other appliances ensure that an adequate supply is available both to the boiler and the other appliance when they are in use at the same time.
4.4 Flue System
The terminal should be located where disper­sal of combustion products is not impeded and with due regard for the damage or discolora­tion that might occur to building products in the vicinity (see fig 4).
The terminal must not be located in a place where it is likely to cause a nuisance.
In cold and/or humid weather water vapour may condense on leaving the flue terminal. The effect of such ‘steaming’ must be consid­ered.
A compartment used to enclose the boiler must be designed and constructed specifi­cally for this purpose. An existing cupboard or compartment may be used provided that it is modified for this purpose.
Details of essential features of cupboard/ com­partment design including airing cupboard in­stallations are given in BS 6798:1987. This appliance is not suitable for external installa­tion.
4.3 Gas Supply
A gas meter is connected to the service pipe by the gas supplier.
An existing meter should be checked, prefer­ably by the gas supplier, to ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with the rate of gas supply required for all appliances it serves.
Installation pipes should be fitted in accord­ance with BS 6891:1988.
BS 6891 1988 Low pressure installation pipes BS 6798 1987 Boilers of rated input not exceeding 60kW. BS 5449 Part 1 1990 Forced circulation hot water systems BS 5546 1990 Installation of gas hot water supplies

Linea 24 & 28
For protection of combustibles, refer to BS 5440:1 where the terminal is less than 2m (6.6ft) above a pavement or platform to which people have access (including any balcony or flat roof the terminal must be protected by a guard of durable material).
A suitable guard is available from Vokera Ltd. Part No 018, G.C. No. 301 106
This guard must be fitted centrally over the terminal. Mark the positions of the fixings, drill the wall and secure using wall plugs and 3 of 1˚" No.8 plated screws.
4.6 Water Circulation (Central Heating)
Detailed recommendations are given in BS 6798:1987 and BS 5449:1:1990 (for smallbore and microbore central heating sys­tems).
4.6.1 The following notes are given for general guidance.
4.6.2 Pipework
Copper tubing to BS 2871:1:1971 is recom­mended for water pipe. Jointing should be either by capillary soldered or with compres­sion fittings.
Where possible, pipes should have a gradient to ensure air is carried naturally to air release points and water flows naturally to drain taps.
It should be ensured as far as possible that the appliance heat exchanger is not a natural collecting point for air.
Except where providing useful heat, pipes should be insulated to prevent heat loss and to avoid freezing. Particular attention should be paid to pipes passing through ventilated spaces in roofs and under floors.
4.6.3 By-Pass
An automatic by-pass is incorporated in the boiler, but systems should be designed to ensure that with all radiators turned off a flow rate of at least 350 litres/hour (1.28 gals/min) is achieved through the system. See 6.9.4
4.6.4 System Design
Figs 5 & 5a illustrates typical system layouts showing options of either, pipe connection from below as fig. 5, or pipe connection from above utilising the purpose made duct in the rear frame of the appliance.
4.6.5 Draining Taps
These must be located in accessible positions to permit the draining of the whole system. The taps must be at least 15mm nominal size and manufactured in accordance with BS 2879:1980.
4.5 Air Supply
The following notes are intended for general guidance.
The room sealed fan flued boiler does not require a permanent air vent for combustion air supply.
Where installed in a cupboard or compartment ventilation is not required.
Terminal position for fan assisted boiler
(minimum distance) mm A - Directly below an open window or other 300

Linea 24 & 28
4.6.6 Air Release Points
These must be fitted at all high points where air will naturally collect, and must be sited to facilitate complete filling of the system.
4.6.7 The appliance has an integral sealed expan-
sion vessel to accommodate the increase of water volume when the system is heated. It can accept up to 8 litres (1.8gals) of expansion water. If the appliance is connected to a sys­tem with an unusually high water content. Calculate the total expansion and add addi­tional sealed expansion capacity as appro­priate.
In general, modern systems will present no problem.
4.6.8 Filling Point
A method for filling the system and replacing water lost during servicing is provided on the appliance.
This method complies with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999.
4.7 Electrical Supply
The appliance is supplied for operation on 230V ~ 50Hz electricity supply. It should be protected with a 3-amp fuse.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. The method of connection to the mains elec-
tricity must allow complete isolation from the supply.
The preferred method is by using a fused double pole switch with a contact separation of at least 3mm.
The switch must supply ONLY the appliance and immediate electrical control circuits (e.g. programmer / room thermostat)
Alternatively, use an unswitched shuttered socket outlet with a fused 3-pin plug both complying with BS 1363.
4.8 Showers
If a shower control is to be supplied from the combination unit it should be of the type which incorporates a thermostatic control and by design is suitable for use with a combination boiler. Check application with shower manu­facturer.
4.9 Timber framed buildings
If the appliance is to be fitted in a timber framed building, it should be fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas Engineers publication (IGE/UP/7) ‘Guide for Gas Installations in Timber Frame Buildings’.

5.4
Mounting the appliance
The appliance should be mounted on a smooth, vertical surface, which must be capable of supporting the full weight of the appliance. Care should be exercised when determining the position of the appliance with respect to hidden obstructions such as pipes, cables, etc.
When the position of the appliance has been decided – using the template supplied – carefully mark the position of the fixing jig/mounting bracket assembly (see fig. 7) and flue-hole (if applicable).
5.4.1 Important
There are two holes on the template. The lower hole should be used with the telescopic flue kit (part no. 0225705 & 0225710). The upper hole is for use with all other horizontal flue kits.
5.4.2 Maximum flue lengths
5.5 Fitting the flue
The top flue outlet permits both horizontal and vertical flue applications to be considered, alternatively, the Vokera twin flue system can be utilised if longer flue runs are required.
5.5.1 Concentric horizontal flue
(For concentric vertical flue, see 5.5.2) (For twin flue applications, see 5.5.3) The appliance flue outlet elbow can be rotated through 360º on its vertical axis. In addition the flue may be extended from the outlet elbow in the horizontal plane (see 5.4.2), however if the flue is to be extended or additional bends are to be fitted, the standard horizontal flue kit (part no. 2359029) must be used. A reduction must also be made to the maximum length (see table) when additional bends are used.
U
sing the template provided (see 5.4.1), mark and drill a 125mm hole for the passage of the flue pipe. The hole should have a 1º drop from the boiler to outside, to eliminate the possibility of rainwater entering the appliance via the flue.
The fixing holes for the wall-mounting bracket & jig should now be drilled and plugged, an appropriate type and quantity of fixing should be used to ensure that the bracket is mounted securely. Once the bracket & jig has been secured to the wall, mount the appliance onto the bracket.

FITTING THE TELESCOPIC FLUE KIT (0225705 &
0225710)
Carefully measure the distance from the centre of the appliance flue outlet to the face of the outside wall (dimension ‘X’ see fig. 12). Add 50mm to dimension ‘X’ to give the overall flue length (dimension ‘Y’). Using the complete telescopic flue assembly adjust the length to suit dimension ‘Y’. Once the telescopic flue terminal has been adjusted to the correct length, secure the flue assembly with the screw supplied.
NOTE
The flue restrictor ring (see fig. 1) must be removed or discarded prior to attaching the flue bend to the appliance.
Insert the flue assembly into the previously drilled flue hole and locate the flue bend over the appliance flue outlet. Push the flue bend down over the appliance flue outlet and ensure the correct seal is made. Pull the flue assembly towards and over the flue bend – using a twisting action – ensuring the correct seal is made. Check that the terminal protrudes past the finished outside wall by the correct length (115mm).
NOTE
You must ensure that the entire flue system is properly supported and connected.
Seal the flue assembly to the wall using cement or a suitable alternative that will provide satisfactory weatherproofing. The interior and exterior trim can now be fitted

FITTING THE STANDARD (2359029) HORIZONTAL FLUE KIT (see 5.4.1)
Carefully measure the distance from the centre of the appliance flue outlet to the face of the outside wall (dimension ‘X’ see fig. 13). Ensure the inner (60mm) pipe is fully inserted into the outer (100mm) pipe (when the inner pipe is fully inserted, it stands proud of the outer pipe by 7.5mm). Add 32mm to dimension ‘X’ to give the overall flue length (dimension ‘Y’). The standard horizontal flue kit (part no. 2359029) is suitable for a distance (dimension ‘Y’) of up to 865mm.
NOTE
Dimension ‘Y’ is measured from the end of the terminal to the end of the outer (100mm) pipe. The internal trim should be fitted to the flue pipe before connection of the 90º bend.
If the horizontal flue kit (2359029) requires to be cut to the correct size (dimension ‘Y’), you must ensure that the inner (60mm) pipe stands proud of the outer (100mm) pipe by 7.5mm (see fig. 13A). Ensure any burrs are filed or removed and that any seals are located properly before assembly.
Connect the inner (60mm) pipe of the terminal assembly to the push-fit end of the 90º bend (supplied) using a twisting action. Insert the assembled flue into the previously drilled hole. Using the clips & screws supplied, connect the flue assembly to the boiler, ensuring that the terminal protrudes past the finished outside wall by the correct length (135mm).
You must ensure that the entire flue system is properly supported and connected.
Seal the flue assembly to the wall using cement or a suitable alternative that will provide satisfactory weatherproofing. The exterior trim can now be fitted.

EXTENDING THE HORIZONTAL FLUE
If the horizontal flue requires extension/s or additional bend/s, the horizontal flue terminal kit (2359029) must be used. Connect the bend – supplied with the terminal kit – to the top of the boiler using the clips, screws, & gaskets supplied. The additional bends & extensions have an internal push-fit connection, care should be taken to ensure that the correct seal is made when assembling the flue system. Connect the required number of flue extensions or bends (up to the maximum equivalent flue length) to the flue terminal using the clips, screws, & gaskets supplied (see fig. 13 & 13A).
IMPORTANT
The flue restrictor ring (see fig. 1) must be removed or discarded if the total flue length – including bends – exceeds 1.0m.
NOTE
When cutting the horizontal flue terminal or an extension to the required length, you must ensure that the excess is cut from the plain end of the terminal or extension, and that the inner (60mm) pipe is 7.5mm longer than outer (100mm) pipe (see fig. 13 & 13A). Remove any burrs, and check that any seals are located properly.
You must ensure that the entire flue system is properly supported and connected.
Seal the flue assembly to the wall using cement or a suitable alternative that will provide satisfactory weatherproofing. The interior and exterior trim can now be fitted.
5.5.2 Concentric vertical flue
The vertical flue terminal can be connected directly to the appliance flue outlet. Alternatively, an extension or bend can be connected to the appliance flue outlet if desired (see 5.4.2), however if additional bends are fitted, a reduction must be made to the maximum flue length (see table below).

Fit the appropriate flashing plate to the roof and insert the vertical flue terminal through the flashing plate from the outside, ensuring that the collar on the flue terminal fits over the flashing.
The fixing holes for the wall-mounting bracket & jig should now be drilled and plugged, an appropriate type and quantity of fixing should be used to ensure that the bracket is mounted securely. Once the bracket has been secured to the wall, mount the appliance onto the bracket & jig.
IMPORTANT
The vertical flue terminal is 1.0 metre in length and cannot be cut; therefore it may be necessary to adjust the height of the appliance to suit or use a suitable extension.
Remove or discard the flue restrictor ring from the appliance flue outlet (see fig. 1), if the total flue length – including the allowance for any additional bends – exceeds 1.0 metre.
Connect the vertical flue assembly to the boiler flue spigot using the 60mm & 100mm clips, gaskets, & screws (supplied), ensuring the correct seal is made. The flue support bracket (supplied with the vertical flue kit) can now be fitted.
If the vertical flue requires extension/s or additional bend/s, connect the required number of flue extensions or bends (up to the maximum equivalent flue length) between the boiler and vertical flue assembly (see fig. 13A).
NOTE
When cutting an extension to the required length, you must ensure that the excess is cut from the plain end of the extension and that the inner (60mm) pipe is 7.5mm longer than outer (100mm) pipe (see fig. 13A). Remove any burrs, and check that any seals are located properly.
You must ensure that the entire flue system is properly supported and connected.

5.5.3 TWIN FLUE SYSTEM
The Vokera twin flue system enables greater flue distances to be achieved (see 5.4.2) than that of the standard concentric flue system. It can be used for horizontal or vertical applications, however the twin flue system must be converted to the dedicated concentric flue kit for termination. It is essential that the installation of the twin flue system be carried out in strict accordance with these instructions.
GUIDANCE NOTES ON TWIN FLUE INSTALLATION
The flue must have a fall back of 1º back to the appliance to allow any condensate that may form in the flue system to drain via the condensate drain. Consideration must also be given to the fact that there is the possibility of a small amount of condensate dripping from the terminal.
Ensure that the entire flue system is adequately supported, use at least one bracket for each extension.
The entire flue system must be adequately insulated to maintain heat within the flue system thereby reducing the possibility of condensate production.
As the exhaust outlet pipe can reach very high temperatures it must be protected to prevent persons touching the hot surface.

The condensate drain trap must be connected to the drain in accordance with Building Regulations or other rules in force
5.5.3.3 Horizontal termination ( fig. 17)
The twin flue system must be converted to the dedicated concentric flue kit for termination.
The horizontal terminal is supplied with a built-in converter box and cannot be shortened.
A 130mm hole is required for the passage of the concentric terminal through the wall.
Depending on site conditions it may be preferable to install the terminal assembly prior to fitting the twin flue pipes.
Mark and drill a 130mm hole for the passage of the horizontal flue terminal, ensuring that there is a 1º fall back to the boiler (17mm per 1000mm). Insert the terminal assembly into
the flue hole. Push-fit the twin flue pipes onto the concentric
to twin converter ensuring that the exhaust pipe connects to the exhaust connection on the concentric to twin converter. If necessary cut the plain ends (male) of the twin flue pipes to allow connection to the concentric to twin converter.
Fig. 17

Linea 24 & 28
NOTE
Before cutting twin flue pipes ensure allowances have been made for connection onto the previous piece and onto the concentric to twin converter. The last twin flue pipes must be pushed 50mm onto the male spigots of the concentric to twin converter.
NOTE
You must ensure that the entire flue system is properly supported and connected.
When cutting an extension to the required length, you should ensure that the excess is cut from the plain end of the extension. Remove any burrs, and check that both seals are located properly.
Seal the flue terminal assembly to the wall using cement or a suitable alternative that will provide satisfactory weatherproofing. The interior and exterior trim can now be fitted.
5.5.3.4 Vertical termination (See fig. 18)
The twin flue system must be converted to the dedicated concentric flue kit for termination.
The vertical terminal is supplied with a built­in converter box and cannot be shortened.
A 130mm hole is required for the passage of the concentric terminal through the ceiling and/or roof.
Depending on site conditions it may be preferable to install the terminal assembly prior to fitting the twin flue pipes.
Fit the appropriate flashing plate to the roof and insert the vertical flue terminal through the flashing plate from the outside, ensuring that the collar on the flue terminal fits over the flashing.
Push-fit the twin flue pipes onto the concentric to twin converter ensuring that the exhaust pipe connects to the exhaust connection on the concentric to twin converter. If necessary cut the plain ends (male) of the twin flue pipes to allow connection to the concentric to twin converter.
NOTE
Before cutting twin flue pipes ensure allowances have been made for connection onto the previous piece and onto the concentric to twin converter. The last twin flue pipes must be pushed 50mm onto the male spigots of the concentric to twin converter.
You must ensure that the entire flue system is properly supported and connected.
Ensure that any horizontal sections of pipe have a 1º fall towards the appliance (17mm per 1000mm).
The convertor box on the vertical terminal will have to be temporarily removed when inserting the terminal through the flashing.
The condensate trap must be primed with water prior to commissioning the boiler.
The condensate drain trap must be connected to the drain in accordance with building regulations or other rules in force.

Connecting the gas supply. Connect a 15mm gas pipe to the gas service
tap and tighten the union nut securing the tap to the appliance.
Pipework from the meter to the appliance must be of adequate size.
A minimum gas pressure of 20mb (8 in. w.g.) must be available at the appliance inlet at full flow rate. See section 3.
DO NOT use pipes of a smaller size than the appliance inlet connection.
5.6.4 Central Heating
Connect the central heating pipework (22mm o.d) to the respective valves, right hand: flow, left hand: return, and tighten the nuts.
5.6.5 Hot Water
Connect a 15mm pipe to the hot water outlet connection of the appliance. Tighten the nut.
If the hot water system does not include a tap below the hot water outlet connection, provide a suitable drain tap to permit draining of the appliance hot water side during servicing.
5.6.6 Cold Water
Connect a 15mm cold water service pipe to the inlet stopcock of the appliance. Tighten the nut.
If the cold water supply is liable to high pres­sure or large pressure fluctuations, a flow/ pressure regulator should be fitted in the sup­ply pipe.
Should the appliance be subject to 'mains knock' it would be advisable to install a non return valve in the hot water outlet pipe to prevent unnecessary activation of the domes­tic flow switch.
5.6.7 Safety Valve Discharge
Connect a 15mm pipe to the discharge outlet of the appliance.
The discharge should terminate facing down­wards outside the building in a position where discharging (possibly boiling) water will not create danger or nuisance; but in an easily visible position.
5.7 Electrical Connections
5.7.1 The electricity supply must be as specified in
4.7. If controls external to the appliance are required, design of the external electrical cir­cuits should be undertaken by a competent person.
See Section 10 for further advice.
N.B. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT ALL EXTER­NAL CONTROL CIRCUITS AND WIRING IS WIRED FROM THE SAME ELECTRICAL ISO­LATOR AS SERVES THE APPLIANCE.
Factory fitted internal wiring must not be dis­turbed when wiring external controls.
5.7.2 To gain access to the electrical terminals
Remove electrical cover by releasing four securing screws. Fig.19.
The mains input terminal block is now easily visible (see fig. 19a).

SECTION 6 COMMISSIONING
6.1 Where the text bears identifying numbers in
brackets, refer to figs. 1 and 2 unless other­wise instructed.
6.2 Gas Supply Installation
Inspect the entire installation including the meter. Test for soundness and purge, all as described in BS6891:1988.
6.3 Central Heating Systems
6.3.1 IMPORTANT DO NOT RELEASE AIR FROM
THE RED SEALED EXPANSION TANK. It is charged with air at the factory from .75 - .80 bar (11 - 12psig)
6.3.2 Initial filling of the System
6.3.2.1 See 3.4.3.
6.3.2.2 Open central heating flow and return valves.
Unscrew black cap on automatic air release valve (25) one full turn. (Leave open perma­nently).
6.3.2.3 Close all air release taps on the central heat­ing system.
6.3.2.4 Identify the filling/inlet valve found at the base of the appliance. See fig.6.
The filling loop may have been disconnected from the filling/inlet valve and heating flow valve. If so reconnect unscrewing the caps as necessary. The filling/inlet valve has 3 positions. (Fig. 21) i) Vertically up - normal operating position. ii) Turn to the left to horizontal - closed posi­tion. iii) Vertically down - Filling position. To fill, slowly turn the handle of the filling/inlet valve from the closed position towards the filling position. Mains water will be heard to enter the system/boiler. As the water enters the system/boiler the pressure gauge will be seen to rise. Pressurise to between 1bar &
1.5bar when the system is cold. DO NOT OVERPRESSURISE. Once the desired pressure is achieved turn the filling/inlet valve back to the closed posi­tion.
6.3.2.5 Starting with the lowest radiator open each air release tap in turn closing it only when clear water, free of bubbles, flows out. In the same away release air from any high points in the
pipework.
6.3.2.6 Continue filling the system until at least 1.0 bar registers on the gauge then turn the handle of the filling/inlet valve back to the closed posi­tion.
6.3.2.7 Inspect the system for water soundness and remedy any leaks discovered.
6.3.3 Initial flushing of Pipework
The whole of the heating system must be flushed both cold and later hot as detailed in
6.10. Open all radiator or heating valves and the appliance central heating valves. Drain the boiler and system from the lowest points. Open the drain valve full bore to remove any installation debris from the boiler prior to light­ing. Refill the boiler and heating system as described in 6.3.2
6.3.4 Setting the System Design Pressure
6.3.4.1 The design pressure should be a minimum of
1 bar and maximum 1.5 bar.
6.3.4.2 The actual reading should ideally be 1 bar plus the equivalent height in metres to the highest point of the system above the base of the appliance. (Up to the maximum of 1.5 bar total). N.B. The safety valve is set to lift at 3bar/ 30m / 45psig.
6.3.4.3 To lower the system pressure to the required value, pull lever on head of safety valve (22) a quarter turn to release water until the required figure registers on the gauge (19).
6.3.5 Filling the Hot Water System
6.3.5.1 Close all hot water draw-off taps.
6.3.5.2 Turn filling/inlet valve to the normal operating
position (vertically up). See fig. 21
6.3.5.3 Slowly open each draw-off until clear water is discharged.
6.4 Checking Electricity Supply
6.4.1 Carry out preliminary checks for continuity,
polarity, and resistance to earth (see page
56), gaining access as required according to
5.7.2 in this manual.
6.4.2 Leave the appliance with the control fascia closed and with the mains electricity switched OFF
6.5 Lighting the Boiler
6.5.1 Ensure flow and return valves are open.
(6.3.2.1) If external and/or internal controls are fitted
(e.g Timeclock and/or Room thermostat) en­sure they ‘call for heat’. The commissioning of the appliance may be easier if the external/ internal controls are disconnected and termi­nals TA & TA are linked. (For access proce­dure turn off electricity and refer to 5.7.2 for instructions).
6.5.2 Switch on the mains electricity and turn the on / off / mode switch (20) to
6.5.3 Set the c/h control knob (16) to the highest setting.
6.5.4 The appliance will go through an ignition se­quence and the burner will light.
18
Linea 24 & 28
6.5.5 If during the ignition attempt period (10 secs approx.) the boiler fails to light, the ignition control circuit will go to lockout. This is indi­cated by the status LED (14) flashing red accompanied by a flashing error code 01 shown in the temperature indicator (15). The gas valve is de-energised, but leaves the fan and pump running for approximately 2 min­utes after lockout.
6.5.6 In the event of the boiler going to lockout turn the mode selector switch to the reset position for approximately 10 seconds, then back to the original position. The two main causes of the boiler going to lockout during commissioning are electrical supply polarity reversed, or air in the gas supply. Check polarity and that the gas supply is completely purged of air, and that gas is reaching the boiler, then repeat from
6.5.2.
6.6 Checking Burner Pressures
6.6.1 The heat inputs for high and low gas rates are
factory set to the maximum values given in section 3.6 for domestic hot water and central heating but it is necessary to check them when commissioning.
6.6.2 Turn off the main electricity supply. Gain ac­cess to the interior as instructed in 5.7.2.
6.6.3 Locate the main burner pressure test point (Fig. 20) and slacken the screw half a turn in an anti clockwise direction . Attach a suitable U gauge tube between the test nipple and ma­nometer (see fig. 23).
IMPORTANT: Before measuring gas pres­sures it is imperitive that the protective cover over the gas valve adjustment screw is re­moved. (Fig. 37)
Turn on electricity supply and fully open a domestic hot water tap to operate boiler in dhw mode. Adjust hot water control knob to it's maximum setting.
Allow boiler to operate for approximately 5
- 10 minutes before checking gas pres­sures.
6.6.4 The pressure reading for maximum rate should
be:
24 (N/G)
10.1mbar ( plus or minus 1.0mbar)
28 (N/G)
10.1mbar (plus or minus 1.0mbar)
If the pressure is wrong it should be adjusted as instructed in 8.23 (N.B. Whenever the maximum rate is adjusted, check and adjust the minimum rate too)
6.6.5 Reduce the domestic water flow rate to approx. 3-4 litres/min, turn the domestic control knob slowly to minimum. The boiler output will reduce to the minimum setting. If low flame cannot be established in this way, turn off the electricity supply and remove one of the grey wires connecting to the modulator coil on the front of the gas valve. Switch on the electricity supply. The boiler will now light at the mini­mum setting.
6.6.6 When low flame is established, the pressure reading should be:
24 (N/G)
1.5mbar (plus or minus 0.15mbar)
28 (N/G)
1.3mbar (plus or minus 0.13mbar)
If it is different adjustment should be made in accordance with the instructions in 8.23.
6.6.7 If the grey wire from the modulator coil was removed to check the minimum setting, turn off the electricity supply and replace the wire onto the modulator coil.

6.6.8 Setting the Maximum Rate for Central Heat­ing
The maximum heat input for the central heat­ing mode is not adjustable. When central heating is selected the appliance will light at 75% of maximum heat input for a period of approximately 15 minutes, whereupon the appliance will burn at maximum rate. Should the appliance reach temperature during the 15 minute period the burner will modulate further to suit system load.
6.7 Checking the Flue System
6.7.1 The flue system should be visually checked
for soundness. Check all clamps and fixings are secure and tight.
6.8 Checking the Heating Thermistor
6.8.1 Allow the system to warm up and manipulate
the c/h control knob to ensure that the burner modulates between ‘high’ and ‘low’ and then to ‘off’ and vice versa (scale range covers approx. 45° - 85°C).
6.9 Regulating the Central Heating System
6.9.1 Fully open all radiator and circuit valves and
run the appliance in the central heating mode until heated water is circulating. If conditions are warm, remove any thermostatic valve heads.
6.9.2 If the burner will not light, ensure that water is in fact circulating. See 4.6.3
6.9.3 Adjust radiator return valves and any branch circuit return valves until the individual return temperatures are correct and are approxi­mately equal.
6.9.4 When all is adjusted, progressively close all radiator valves to ensure that the appliance still operates when flow through the system is limited.
The system should be regulated to ensure a flow rate of at least 350 litres/h (78 gals/h). This may mean the addition of a small manual by-pass being fitted to the system if a fully TRV system is used.
6.10 Final Flushing of the Heating System
6.10.1 The system should be flushed in accordance
with BS 7593: 1992.Turn on the boiler for central heating and allow the boiler and sys­tem to reach temperature. Turn off the boiler and drain the system whilst still hot.
Refill the boiler and heating system as de­scribed in 6.3.2.
Although not necessary for correct operation of the boiler, an inhibitor may be added at this point. Contact the inhibitor manufacturer for further information concerning application and dosage.
6.10.2 Inspect the system for soundness. Turn the appliance off at the mode selector switch (fig. 1, 20).
6.11 Filling, Testing and Regulating the Domes­tic Hot Water System
6.11.1 Start with the appliance switched on having
completed the procedures described in 6.4 to
6.10.
6.11.2 Open a domestic hot water tap (Preferably the bath tap).
Ensure cold water inlet stopcock is fully open (vertically up) and the dhw control knob (21) is set at maximum.
6.11.3 Set the adjustable stopcock to restrict the maximum flow of water and achieve a tem­perature rise acceptable to the end user.
6.11.4 The flow of water should activate the domestic hot water flow switch (13) and drive the divert­ing valve (23) to its hot water position thus heating the domestic water flowing through the dhw heat exchanger. At the same time the pump and fan are activated lighting the burner on maximum rate.
6.11.5 If the burner does not light, check that the water flow rate is above the minimum re­quired to operate the domestic hot water flow switch (13) 2.0 litres/min (0.45 gals/min).
6.11.6 The temperature of the water will depend on the rate at which it flows.
The temperature of water at the tap can be varied by adjusting the water flow rate at the tap up to the maximum predetermined quantity.The hot water temperature control knob (21) will govern the maximum tempera­ture. When the appliance is being used in hot water mode the temperature indicator (15) indicates the temperature of the hot water leaving the appliance.
6.11.7 It is best to set for the lowest acceptable temperature since the user can gain higher temperatures by restricting flow at the tap.
N.B. If the cold supply is subject to large fluctuations or is above the permitted maxi­mum a suitable pressure/flow regulator should be fitted in the cold water supply to the appli­ance.
6.11.8 Turn the appliance mode selector switch (20) to the position.
Slowly close the tap to reduce the rate of draw to above the minimum approx. 2.0 litres/min., (0.45 gal/min.) Rotate the dhw control knob to ensure the appliance modulates at its various setting.
6.11.9 Close the draw-off tap still further. The burner should stop when the rate falls below approxi­mately 2.0 litres/min. (0.45 gal/min.).
6.11.10 The appliances incorporate a hot water preheat facility. The appliance will therefore ignite pe­riodically to maintain heat within the appli­ance.

6.12 Final Check for Operations
Turn mode selector switch to the OFF/RESET position, disconnect pressure gauge, re-tighten screw. Relight boiler.
6.12.1 Re-check for gas soundness
6.12.2 Re examine heating and hot water systems
and cold water supply for water soundness.
6.12.3 Check the appearance of the gas flame to assess adequacy of combustion air supply.
6.12.4 Re-check the flue system for soundness and adequacy of supports.
6.13 Concluding Operations
6.13.1 If external/internal controls have been discon-
nected and terminals TA & TA temporarily linked, remove the link and reconnect the controls circuit. Check the operation of the controls.
6.14 Refixing the boiler casing (fig. 25).
6.14.1 Offer up the front casing to the back frame in
a near vertical attitude and locate the hooks on the casing over the hooks on the frame.
Slide the casing downwards to fully engage the hooks and to align the bottom fixing holes. Replace the two case retaining screws. (fig.25)

SECTION 8 SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
8.1 General
To ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of the appliance, it is recommended that it is checked and serviced as necessary at regular intervals.
The frequency of servicing will depend upon the particular installation conditions and us­age, but in general, once per year should be adequate.
It is the law that any servicing work is carried out by a competent person such as a Vokèra service engineer, approved service agent, British Gas or other CORGI registered per­sonnel.
The following instructions apply to the boiler and its controls, but it should be remembered that the central heating and domestic hot water systems will also require attention from time to time.
8.2 Important Notes
WARNING: having carried out preliminary
flame checks and before starting any servic­ing work, switch OFF the mains electricity supply and disconnect the plug at the main isolating switch and socket. (If a switch is used remove the fuse.)
Turn off gas supply at the gas service tap fitted to the appliance.
Always test for gas soundness after any serv­ice work and after exchanging any gas carry­ing component.
8.3 Recommended Routine Servicing
8.3.1 Annual Servicing
When servicing is required the following pro­cedures should be carried out.
1. Inspect exterior for signs of damage and deterioration, particularly of flue pipework and electrical connections.
2. Turn off mains electricity and remove front casing (see 8.4.).
3. Replace fuse if previously removed ( 8.2. above) and turn on electricity. Run the boiler for a few minutes in the domestic hot water mode to permit inspection of its operation. This is accomplished by open­ing a domestic hot water draw off tap and inspecting burner for yellowing of flame tip, flame lift off or sooting.
4. Ensure central heating valves are open. See 6.3.2.1.
Observe pressure gauge reading (fig. 1,
19) which should be approximately 1 bar when the system is cold See 6.3.4
5. Turn off mains electricity and turn off gas service tap on the appliance.
6. Gain general access as described in
8.4.
7. Remove main burner (see 8.6). Lightly clean with a soft brush and inspect for damage. If during initial inspection any combustion irregularity was suspected, remove injectors and clean or replace (see
8.7).
8. Place cloth below combustion chamber to catch debris. Clean heat exchanger using suitable brushes and rods if necessary.
9. Inspect combustion chamber lining. The insulating material is easily damaged. Do not scrape, but clean off lightly.
If any panels are damaged these should be replaced (see 8.11).
10. Replace all parts in reverse order but leave the controls fascia open and outer casing off.
11.Undertake a complete commissioning check as detailed in section 6.
12.Close up control fascia and refix front casing.
13.Clean off casing using soft cloth and dilute detergent.
14.Complete details of service undertaken in the boiler log book.
NOTE: there is a flue gas analysis test point incorporated in the flue outlet. (see
8.23.6 and fig. 1, 30)
8.3.2 Replacement of Parts
1. The life of individual components varies and they will need servicing as and when faults develop. The fault finding sequence charts in section 9 will serve to locate which component is the cause of any malfunction. Instructions for removal, in­spection and replacement of the individual parts are given in the following pages.
2. The domestic hot water heat exchanger may in certain conditions become partially blocked by scale deposits. Evidence of this will be deterioration in performance.
This condition could well be treated using proprietary descalants following makers' instructions without dismantling the appli­ance by circulating a fluid through the dhw coil. To do this, disconnection from hot and cold services is necessary. Reconnect only after thorough flushing with clean water.
3. Occasional maintenance of mechanical working parts will be necessary. Service kits are available from ypur local Vokèra stockists.

8.24 Soft Light Ignition
The Linea range incorporates a fully auto­matic soft light ignition sequence which is non adjustable.
When ignition is called for the gas valve is energised and at the same time 20 m/A is applied to the modulator coil for a period of approximately 3 seconds. During this 3 sec­onds the appliance will ignite.
After the initial 3 seconds power to the modu­lator coil is gradually increased to a maximum power of 120 m/A.
120 m/A is applied to the modulator coil for a further second. If the appliance is operating in hot water mode the maximum heat input will be automatically adjusted depending on the temperature of the appliance.
8.24.1 Maximum Rate in Central Heating Mode.
The Linea range does not require any adjust­ment to maximum heat requirement of the system load.
After initial ignition the appliance will automatically reduce the maximum heat input to 75% of its maximum capability for a maxi­mum period of 15 minutes.
During this 15 minutes should there be suffi­cient temperature rise of the heating system the appliance will reduce the heat input to suit the system load to a point where the maximum selected temperature is achieved, and the appliance switches off.
Alternatively should the appliance fail to achieve sufficient temperature rise within this 15 minute period, the appliance will increase its maximum heat input to further increase the temperature of the system.
Once achieved the appliance will modulate to suit system load.
8.24.2 Combustion Analysis
Incorporated on the appliance is a combustion switch (fig.1, 17). Once the gas pressures have been set activation of the combustion switch automatically fires the appliance at maximum rate in central heating. The appliance will be held at maximum rate until the maximum temperature of the appliance is achieved. The appliance will not modulate during this period.
8.24.2.1 To use the combustion switch it is important that the gas pressures are set accurately as described in 8.23.1 - 8.23.3.
8.24.2.2 Remove combustion switch cap on front con­trol panel by turning 1/4 turn to disengage. Fig.1, 17
8.24.2.3 Unscrew flue gas analysis test point Fig.1, 30. Set up flue gas analyser and insert probe into test point.

If a flame is detected during the ignition at­tempt time (8-12 seconds) the sparking will cease, the gas valve will remain energised and the appliance will produce hot water as described below.
If a flame is not detected the appliance will go to lockout (failure to detect a flame during ignition attempt time). The gas valve will be de-energised and the sparking will stop (see self diagnostic error codes).
To reset the appliance after lockout turn the mode selector switch to the reset position for approximately 10 seconds then back to origi­nal position.
The temperature rise of primary water and domestic hot water in the appliance is sensed by thermistors on the flow tube and hot water outlet.
An increase in temperature will in turn de­crease the voltage reaching the modulator coil, causing the gas rate to be lowered. If the temperature rise is too great the gas valve can turn off completely.
Conversely a fall in temperature of the primary and domestic hot water will increase the volt­age to the modulator coil and this in turn increases the gas rate accordingly.
Temperature of the domestic hot water leav­ing the appliance is shown at the temperature indicator whenever hot water is drawn.
Constant monitoring of the temperature of the primary and domestic hot water by the thermistors will regulate the gas rate to main­tain an average heat input.
NOTE: as the thermistor senses the tempera­ture of the primary water leaving the main heat exchanger, the amount of heat transferred from the primary water to the dhw water de­pends upon the temperature differential be­tween them.
When the dhw water draw off rate drops below the permitted minimum (2.0 l/min) the domes­tic hot water flow switch is deactivated, and the appliance either reverts to the 'Rest' mode where the fan may overrun to remove residual heat, or if there is a call for heating to the mode described below.
SECTION 9 OPERATIONAL CHECKS AND WIRING DIAGRAMS
9.1 On completion of any service/fault finding task
which has required the breaking and remak­ing of electrical connections, the checks Earth Continuity, polarity and Resistance to Earth must be repeated.
The following flow diagrams suggest the logi­cal sequence of steps for fault finding.
They are not exhaustive but cover all that can reasonably be carried out on site by the in­staller.
Acquaintance with the functional sequence will prove helpful for some, and this is included for reference. As further help, the role of each part is briefly described.
Also included in this section are wiring dia­grams and schematics to assist in fault loca­tion and servicing as described in the text.
9.2 Sequence of Functions
When following this sequence, refer to figs. 40 & 41. It is assumed that the mode selector switch is in the position.
9.2.1 Rest (No demand for central heating or hot water)
With no demand for heating or hot water the appliance will periodically light to preheat the domestic hot water heat exchanger. This is done to ensure that when a demand is made for domestic hot water the appliance is not cold, thereby reducing the wait for hot water. (This function can be deactivated by a service engineer). See page 53.
Once every 19 hours the appliance will auto­matically activate and deactivate the pump and motorised valve (provided the electrical supply is on to the appliance). This will help prevent these components becoming stuck if the appliance is not used for long periods.
The temperature indicator will always display the temperature of the boiler unless domestic hot water is drawn where it will indicate the temperature of the hot water leaving the appliance.
9.2.2 Domestic Hot Water Mode
Turning on a tap will cause the domestic hot water flow switch to activate.
Activation of the domestic hot water flow switch operates the motorised valve. Operation of the motorised valve mechanically diverts the primary water to the domestic heat exchanger. The pump and fan are started simultaneously which results in a changeover of the pressure differential switch. Once this action has been proven the gas valve will be energised and the electrode will start to spark.
Linea 24 & 28
33
9.2.3 Central Heating Mode
In this mode the mode selector switch must be turned to the position.
With all controls calling for heat the motorised valve returns, mechanically diverting primary water to the central heating circuit. The pump and fan will run and the pressure differential switch will be activated. This in turn will ener­gise the electronic ignition control box. The gas valve will be energised and the electrode will start to spark.
If a flame is detected during the ignition at­tempt period, (8-12 seconds) the sparking will cease and the gas valve will remain ener­gised. The appliance will light at 75% of maxi­mum heat input for a maximum of 15 minutes then increase to maximum output if required, or will modulate during the 15 minute period if the temperature rise is sufficient.
The temperature rise of the primary water is sensed by the thermistor on the flow pipe.
As the temperature of the primary water ap­proaches that set on the c/h temperature control, the boiler will modulate as described in domestic hot water mode.
On reaching the set temperature the gas valve is de-energised and the burner is extin­guished.
The appliance has an inbuilt delay timer and re-ignition will not be attempted for approxi­mately 3 minutes. This can be deactivated. See page 58.
Constant monitoring of the temperature of the primary water by the thermistor will regulate the gas rate to maintain an average heat input. When the appliance has reached the set temperature and the burner is off, the pump will continue to run to circulate the primary water around the c/h system.
Temperature of the central heating is shown at the temperature indicator whenever the central heating is on.
If supply to the appliance is broken (e.g. by a room thermostat or timeclock) the burner is extinguished the pump stops, the motorised valve is energised into the hot water mode waiting for pre-heat or demand for hot water. However, the fan will continue to run until the primary water temperature is below 80°C.
Self Diagnostic Error Codes
The temperature indicator also serves as an error code indicator. Should an error occur the status LED (which is normally green) will flash red. This will be accompanied by the temperature indicator flashing an error code of 01 - 07. Check code and proceed as follows:
01: Failure to ignite (see 6.5.5). To re-set
turn mode selector switch to re-set posi­tion for approximately 10 seconds, then back to original position.
02: Overheat - Normally associated with ei-
ther poor or lack of primary water circu­lation. Wait for appliance to cool then re­set as described for code 01.
03: Problem with fan/flue. Re-set as de-
scribed for code 01.
04: Insufficient water pressure.
Check pressure and restore if necessary (see 6.3.4). Reset as described for code
01.
05: Reset as described for code 01. 06: Hot water thermistor open circuit. 07: Primary thermistor open circuit.
FAULT FINDING GUIDES
On the following pages are the fault finding guides. Be sure to read the notes below before begining any fault finding
NOTES:
1. To ensure correct fault diagnosis it is important that these guides are carried out in the set order.
2. Check the electrical supply polarity is correct before carrying out fault finding (lockout will occur if the polarity
is reversed).
3. To ensure that internal/external controls (if fitted) do not interfere with fault finding, disconnect the wires from terminals TA & TA (labelling them in the process to ensure correct reconnection) and provide a solid link between TA & TA.

SECTION 10 APPENDIX
A. Installation of the Vokèra time switches (24 Hr and 7 Day)
Remove printed circuit board cover (5 screws). Remove the clock aperture blanking plate (1) fig.1 by
squeezing the 4 lugs on the rear of the plate together and push the plate out.
Remove the central circular disk from the plate (some force is necessary to break the holding nibs).
Remove the clock from its box. Wire the clock as shown in fig. 2. The wiring loom to the
clock comes complete with 4 spade connectors (for connection to the clock terminals), and a multi-plug for connection to the clock loom pre assembled on the appliance.
Replace the clock blanking plate back into the fascia of the appliance.
Insert the clock into the aperture from the back of the control panel, and secure the clock to the front control panel using the four screws provided.
Identify the internal clock wiring loom and disconnect the end plug. Push fit the multi-plug onto the multi-plug connector connected to the time clock. The multi-plug connector is polarised, it is therefore only possible to connect the multi-plugs one way.
When all electrical connections are made replace printed circuit board cover.
NO EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL CONTROLS
The loop between terminals = & TA remains when no external or internal controls are used (as fig. 5).
ROOM THERMOSTAT
Remove the loop between terminals = & TA and connect room thermostat between TA & TA (as fig. 6).

PRELIMINARY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKS
A. EARTH CONTINUITY CHECK - appliance must be
electrically disconnected - meter set on (ohms) x 1 scale and adjust zero if necessary.
a) Test leads from any appliance earth point to earth pin on plug - resistance should be less than 0.1 (ohm). If the resistance is greater than 0.1 (ohm) check all earth wires for continuity and all contacts clean and tight.
B. SHORT CIRCUIT CHECK - appliance electrically disconnected, all switches ON (including stats) ­a) meter set on (ohms) x 1 scale. Test leads from L to N in appliance terminal strip/block
- if meter reads 0 then there is a short circuit. b) meter set on (ohms) x 100 scale
Repeat test with leads from L to E. If meter reads less than µ (infinity) there is a fault.
NOTE - Should it be found that the fuse has failed but no fault is indicated, a detailed continuity check (i.e. by disconnecting and checking each component) is re­quired to trace the faulty component. It is possible that a fault could occur as a result of local burning/arcing but no fault could be found under test. However, a detailed visual inspection should reveal evidence of burning around the fault.
C. POLARITY CHECK
Appliance connected to mains supply and meter set on 300V ac scale. Test at appliance terminal strip:-
a) Test leads from L to N - meter reads approx
230V ac
b) Test leads from L to E ( ) - meter reads approx 230V
ac
c) Test leads from N to E ( ) - meter reads from
O-15V ac*
Thus the terminal marked L is the live terminal. If the low* V ac reading is given on terminals other than N to E ( ) there is an electrical fault.
Repeat the test at the appliance plug/inlet spur to check the wiring system up to the appliance and rectify any fault. If necessary repeat the test at the supply system socket/spur - if the fault also occurs at this stage then there is a house system fault which requires attention by the ELECTRICITY AUTHORITY. The customer should be warned not to use the appliance until this examina­tion has been carried out.
D. RESISTANCE TO EARTH CHECK
Appliance must be disconnected from mains supply and meter set on (ohms) x 100 scale. All switches, including stats, ON - Test leads from L to E - if meter reads other than infinity () there is a fault which should be isolated. A detailed continuity check is required to trace the faulty component.
IMPORTANT - This series of checks are the first electrical checks to be carried out during a fault finding procedure. On completion of the service/fault finding task which has required the breaking and remaking of electrical connections then the checks - A. Earth Conti­nuity. C. Polarity and D. Resistance to Earth - must be repeated.

11.2 Burner Details (LPG)
11.1 Gas Rates (LPG)
11.4 GAS SUPPLY
A gas supply should be connected to the boiler by a competent L.P.G. installer and should be of sufficient size to supply the boiler at its maximum output.
An existing supply should be checked by the installer or L.P.G. supplier to ensure that it can deal with the rate of gas supply required for all the appliances when they are in use at the same time.
11.5 GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATION
11.5.1 Inspect the entire installation including the
meter, test for soundness and purge.
11.6 CHECK BURNER PRESSURE
11.6.1 The heat inputs for high and low gas rates are
factory set to the maximum values given in section 11.2 but it is necessary to check/ adjust this when commissioning the appli­ance.
11.6.2 Turn off the main electrical supply. Gain access to the interior as instructed in 5.3.1 -
5.3.2.
11.6.3 Gain access to the electrical terminals as
5.7.2. Ensure the Jumper at point JP8 is removed.

11.3 RELATED DOCUMENTS
11.6.4 Locate the main burner pressure test point
(fig. 20) and slacken the screw half a turn in an anti clockwise direction. Attach a suitable pres­sure gauge as described at 6.6.5.
IMPORTANT: Before measuring gas pres­sures it is imperative that the protective cover over the gas valve adjustment screw is re­moved. (Fig. 37) Turn on electricity supply. Turn mode selector switch to the position and fully open a domestic hot water tap to operate boiler in dhw mode. Adjust hot water control knob to it’s maximum setting.
11.6.5 The pressure reading for maximum output should be :
24
36.0mbar . (Plus or minus 3.6mbar)
28
36.0mbar . (Plus or minus 3.6mbar)
58
Linea 24 & 28
11.6.6 Reduce the domestic water flow rate to ap­proximately 3-4 litres/min. Turn the domestic control knob slowly to minimum the boiler output will reduce to the minimum setting. If low flame cannot be established in this way, turn off the electricity supply, and disconnect a grey wire from the modulator coil. Switch on the electricity supply, the boiler will now light at the minimum setting.
11.6.7 When low flame is established the pressure reading should be :
24
5.1mbar (Plus or minus 0.5mbar)
28
4.3mbar (Plus or minus 0.43mbar)
If it is different adjustment should be made in accordance with the instructions in 8.23.
11.6.8 If a grey wire was disconnected from the modulator coil to check the minimum setting, turn off the electricity supply and reconnect the wire.
11.7 Maximum Rate in Central Heating Mode
The Linea range does not require any adjust­ment to the maximum heat requirement of the system load.
11.8 Setting the Minimum Rate for Central Heat­ing
Turn off the main electrical supply.
Gain access to the electrical terminal blocks (5.7.2) Fig. 19.
Identify jumper plug position JP9 on circuit board fig. 38 and fit a temporary jumper tag.
Turn the mode selector switch to the position, ensure that the room thermostat
and/or timeclock (if fitted) are calling for heat. Turn the heating thermostat to maximum and ensure the appliance ignites.
Identify minimum adjustment button on pcb (fig. 38).
Press the minimum adjustment button once. The boiler will operate in central heating mode at a minimum gas pressure. An LED on the PCB will flash red to confirm the appliance is in central heating minimum mode.
The gas pressure should now be:
24
6.5 mbar plus or minus 0.65 mbar
28
5.5 mbar plus or minus 0.55 mbar
If the reading is incorrect it should be adjusted as follows:
Identify the minimum adjustment potentiometer on the PCB (fig. 38).
With the boiler still in central heating mode and the burner at the minimum rate, using a small screwdriver turn the potentiometer clockwise to increase & anti-clockwise to de­crease the gas pressure.
When all is adjusted, press the minimum adjustment button once (the appliance will return to normal operation). Turn the appli­ance off and remove the temporary jumper connected to plug JP9.
11.9 Soft light ignition and range rating for central heating is fully automatic, no adjustment is necessary.
11.10 Turn mode selector to the OFF position, dis­connect pressure gauge, re-tighten screw. Relight boiler.
11.11 Re- check for gas soundness.
11.12 Replace electrical controls panel.
11.13 Refix the boiler casing (fig. 25).
