SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
The Vokèra Linea Plus is a combined central
heating and domestic hot water appliance. By
design it incorporates full sequence electronic
ignition, circulating pump, expansion vessel,
safety valve, temperature gauge, pressure
gauge and 3 port diverter valve. The Plus also
benefits from an air/gas modulation system
and has low NOx emissions.
The boiler is produced as a room sealed
appliance suitable for wall mounting applications only. It is 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.
The appliance is designed for use with a sealed
heating system only and is 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.

SECTION 2DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND OPERATING SEQUENCE
2.1Fig.1 illustrates the general layout of compo-
nents. Fig.2 illustrates the operating principles
described below.
2.2Central Heating Mode
2.2.1When 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.
2.2.2The 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.
2.2.3As water temperature increases this is sensed
by the temperature sensor on the flow pipe
which modulates the fan and burner to match
the heat output to the heat requirement of the
system.
2.2.4Depending on the load, either a) The water
temperature will continue to rise and the fan
and burner will continue to modulate down;
The burner will switch off at maximum temperature, or b) the water temperature will fall;
the fan and burner

will return to a higher output to match demand.
2.3Domestic Hot Water Mode
2.3.1The appliance incorporates a hot water
preheat facility. The appliance will therefore
ignite periodically to maintain heat within the
appliance.
2.3.2The 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.
2.3.3The 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.
2.3.4Temperature control is transferred to the domestic hot water thermostat (potentiometer)
which modulates the fan and burner output
between high and low flame to maintain an
average heat input to suit the dhw output
required.
2.3.5An 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).
2.4Safety Devices
2.4.1In 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 DAPS in the flue system to check the
fan's operation before allowing ignition.
2.4.2A safety valve is provided to relieve excess
pressure from the primary circuit.
2.4.3Frost 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.

purposes (2nd family gases).
vessels & ancillary equipment for sealed water
systems.
4.2Location 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.
Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance with BS 6891:1988.
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.
4.4Flue 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.

4.6Water Circulation (Central Heating)
Detailed recommendations are given in S6798:
1987 and BS 5449: 1: 1990 (for smallbore and
microbore central heating systems).
4.6.1The following notes are given for general
guidance.
4.6.2Pipework
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.
4.6.3By-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.
4.6.4System 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.
4.6.5Draining 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.
NOTE: The flue must be terminated in a place not likely
to cause a nuisance.
4.5Air 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.

4.6.6Air 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.
4.6.7The appliance has an integral sealed expansion vessel to accommodate the increase of
water volume when the system is heated. It
can accept up to 10 litres 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.
4.6.8Filling 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.
4.7Electrical 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.
4.8Showers
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

alternatively, the Vokera twin flue system can
be utilised if longer flue runs are required.
5.5.1Concentric 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.

Bends & extensions
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.
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 conncented.
Reduction for bends

Using 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 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 lenghth (dimension 'Y')standard
horizontal flue kit (part no. 2359029) is suitable
for a distance (dimension ‘Y’) of up to 865mm.
Fig. 13
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.
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).
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.
5.5.2CONCENTRIC 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

Using the dimensions given in fig. 14 as a reference,
mark and cut a 105mm hole in the ceiling and/or
roof.
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).
5.5.3TWIN 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.
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.
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.
5.5.3.1Installation of twin adaptor kit (fig. 15)
The condensate drain kit must be fitted within
1 metre of the appliance flue outlet. It is
recommended that the condensate drain kit
should be fitted in the vertical plane, however
it can be fitted horizontally with care.

brackets, refer to figs. 1 and 2 unless otherwise instructed.
6.2Gas Supply Installation
Inspect the entire installation including the
meter. Test for soundness and purge, all as
described in BS6891:1988.
6.3Central Heating Systems
6.3.1IMPORTANT DO NOT RELEASE AIR FROM
THE RED SEALED EXPANSION TANK. It is
charged with air at the factory from .75 - .80 bar
(11 - 12psig)
6.3.2Initial filling of the System
6.3.2.1See 3.4.3.
6.3.2.2Open central heating flow and return valves.
Unscrew black cap on automatic air release
valve (18) one full turn. (Leave open permanently).
6.3.2.3Close all air release taps on the central heating system.
6.3.2.4Identify 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. 20)
i) Vertically up - normal operating position.
ii) Turn to the left to horizontal - closed posi-
tion.
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.
6.3.2.5Starting 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
way release air from any high points in the
pipework.
6.3.2.6Continue 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.
6.3.2.7Inspect the system for water soundness and
remedy any leaks discovered.
6.3.3Initial 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
6.3.4Setting the System Design Pressure
6.3.4.1The design pressure should be a minimum of
1 bar and maximum 1.5 bar.
6.3.4.2The 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.
6.3.4.3To lower the system pressure to the required
value, pull lever on head of safety valve (14) a
quarter turn to release water until the required
figure registers on the gauge (31).
6.3.5Filling the Hot Water System
6.3.5.1Close all hot water draw-off taps.
6.3.5.2Turn filling/inlet valve to the normal operating
position (vertically up). See fig. 20
6.3.5.3Slowly open each draw-off until clear water is
discharged.
6.4Checking Electricity Supply
6.4.1Carry out preliminary checks for continuity,
polarity, and resistance to earth (see page
61), gaining access as required according to
5.7.2 in this manual.
6.4.2Leave the appliance with the control fascia
closed and with the mains electricity switched
OFF
6.5Lighting the Boiler
6.5.1Ensure 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).
6.5.2Switch on the mains electricity and turn the on
/ off / mode switch (25) to
6.5.3Set the c/h control knob (28) to the highest
setting.
6.5.4The appliance will go through an ignition sequence and the burner will light.
Linea Plus AG
17
6.5.5If 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 (26) flashing red
accompanied by a flashing error code 01
shown in the temperature indicator (27). The
gas valve is de-energised, but leaves the fan
and pump running for approximately 2 minutes after lockout.
6.5.5In 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.
6.6Checking Burner Pressures
6.6.1The 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.
6.6.4Turn off the main electricity supply. Gain access to the interior as instructed in 5.7.2.
6.6.5Locate the main burner pressure test point
(fig. 19) 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. 22).
IMPORTANT: Before measuring gas pressures it is imperitive that the protective cover
over the gas valve adjustment screw is
removed (fig. 31).
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.

Plus AG (N/G)
10.1 mbar
(plus or minus 1mbar)
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).
6.6.7Turn 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.
6.6.8When low flame is established, the pressure
reading should be:
Plus AG (N/G)
1.1 mbar
(plus or minus 0.11 mbar)
If it is different adjustment should be made in
accordance with the instructions in 8.23.
6.6.9Turn off the electricity supply and replace the
wire onto the modulator coil.
6.6.6The pressure reading for maximum rate should

6.6.10Setting 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.
6.7Checking the Flue System
6.7.1The flue system should be visually checked
for soundness. Check all clamps and fixings
are secure and tight.
6.8Checking the Heating Thermistor
6.8.1Allow 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).
6.9Regulating the Central Heating System
6.9.1Fully 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.
6.9.2If the burner will not light, ensure that water is
in fact circulating. See 4.6.3
6.9.3Adjust radiator return valves and any branch
circuit return valves until the individual return
temperatures are correct and are approximately equal.
6.9.4When all is adjusted, progressively close all
radiator valves to ensure that the appliance
still operates when flow through the system is
limited.
If the burner cuts out prematurely due to lack
of water pressure through the appliance, 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 bypass being fitted to the system if a fully TRV
system is used.
6.10Final Flushing of the Heating System
6.10.1The 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.
6.10.2Inspect the system for soundness. Turn the
appliance off at the mode selector switch (fig.
1, 25).
6.11Filling, Testing and Regulating the
Domestic Hot Water System
6.11.1Start with the appliance switched on having
completed the procedures described in 6.4 to
6.10.
6.11.2Open a domestic hot water tap (preferably the
bath tap).
Ensure cold water inlet stopcock is fully open
(vertically up) and the dhw control knob (24) is
set at maximum.
6.11.3Set the adjustable stopcock to restrict the
maximum flow of water and achieve a temperature rise acceptable to the end user.
6.11.4The flow of water should activate the domestic
hot water flow switch (13) and drive the diverting valve (16) 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.
6.11.5If 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).
6.11.6The 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 (24) will govern the maximum temperature. When the appliance is being used in hot
water mode the temperature indicator (27)
indicates the temperature of the hot water
leaving the appliance.
6.11.7It 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.
6.11.8Turn the appliance mode selector switch (25)
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.
6.11.9Close 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.

6.12Final Check for Operations
Turn mode selector switch to the OFF/RESET
position, disconnect pressure gauge, re-tighten
screw. Relight boiler.
6.12.1Re-check for gas soundness.
6.12.2Re examine heating and hot water systems
and cold water supply for water soundness.
6.12.3Check the appearance of the gas flame to
assess adequacy of combustion air supply.
6.12.4Re-check the flue system for soundness and
adequacy of supports.
6.13Concluding Operations
6.13.1If 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.
6.14Refixing the boiler casing (fig. 24).
6.14.1Offer up the front casing to the back frame in
a near vertical attitude and locate the hooks on

SECTION 8 SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
8.1General
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.
8.2Important 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.
8.3Recommended Routine Servicing
8.3.1Annual 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, 31
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 (fig. 1, 23).
8.3.2Replacement 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 (three port
valve, flow diaphragm). Service kits are available from your local Vokèra stockists. Vokèra
Service Kit No.T0019.

8.24Soft 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 140 m/A.
140 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.
If the appliance is operating in central heating
mode see 8.24.1.
8.24.1Maximum 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.
8.24.2.1 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, 29
8.24.2.3 Unscrew flue gas analysis test point fig.1, 23.
Set up flue gas analyser and insert probe into
test point.
8.24.2.4 Using a screwdriver lightly press the black
toggle behind the combustion switch cap once
only.
The appliance will light at maximum rate. At
this point the digital display will show CO to
confirm the appliance is in combustion test
mode.
8.24.2.5 Analyse flue gasses on analyser.
8.24.2.6 Once the analysis is complete lightly press the
black toggle once to disengage the combustion mode. The display will revert to showing
appliance temperature on the digital display.
NOTE: the combustion switch can also be
used when gas rating the appliance.

described in Section 6 as far as they apply.
Refit casing and clean up.
8.24.2Combustion Analysis
Incorporated on the appliance is a combustion switch (fig.1, 29). 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.

SECTION 9 OPERATIONAL CHECKS AND WIRING DIAGRAMS
9.1On 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.
9.2Sequence of Functions
When following this sequence, refer to figs. 39
& 40. It is assumed that the mode selector
switch is in the position.
9.2.1Rest (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 58.
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.
9.2.2Domestic 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
in stand-by mode the diverter valve is already
in DHW position. The pump is started simultaneously and with sufficient primary water
pressure the fan starts which results in a
voltage produced by the DAPS. Once this
action has been proven the gas valve will be
energised and the electrode will start to spark.
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 to the fan. The difference in
pressure is detected by the differential
analogue pressure switch (DAPS) and alters
the voltage produced from it and transmits this
to the pcb. The pcb will in turn decrease the
voltage reaching the modulator coil causing
the gas rate to be lowered in proportion to the
fan speed. If the temperature rise is too great
the fan and gas valve will turn off completely.
Conversely a fall in temperature of the primary
and domestic hot water will increase voltage
to the fan 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.

Linea Plus AG
9.2.3Central 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
will run and with sufficient primary water
pressure the fan starts which results in a
voltage produced by the DAPS. 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 heat
exchanger.
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.
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.
Should there be a drop in primary water pressure below 0,2 mbar the pressure switch
could deactivate and de-energise the gas
valve.
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 - 08. 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 either poor or lack of primary water circulation.
Wait for appliance to cool then re-set as described for code 01.
03: Problem with fan/flue. Re-set as described
for code 01.
04: Insufficient water pressure. Check
pressure gauge reading, if low restore pressure
(see 6.3.4) then re-set as described in code
01. Re-set as described for code 01.
05: Re-set as described for code 01.
06: Hot water thermistor open circuit.
07: Primary thermistor open circuit.
08: Burner overheat. Reset as described for
code 01.
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.

PRELIMINARY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKS
A. EARTH CONTINUITY CHECK - appliance must be
electrically disconnected - meter set on Ω (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 1 Ω (ohm).
If the resistance is greater than 1 Ω (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 Ω (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 Ω (ohms) x 100 scale
Repeat test with leads from L to E. If meter reads less
than ∝ (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.
D. RESISTANCE TO EARTH CHECK
Appliance must be disconnected from mains supply and
meter set on Ω (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.
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
230 V 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.

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.
57
11.6.4 Locate the main burner pressure test point
(fig. 19) 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. 36).
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 :
Plus AG (LPG)
36.0 mbar
(Plus or minus 3.6 mbar)
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).
Linea Plus AG
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 :
Plus AG (LPG)
3.7 mbar
(Plus or minus 0.37 mbar)
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
The Linea range does not require any adjustment to the minimum heat requirement of the
