24 hours, the pump, fan, & valve actuator, are
energised for a few seconds to ensure that they
does not stick or jam. This function will be disabled should the power supply to the boiler be disrupted.
DIAGNOSTIC FAULT CODES
In the unlikely event of a fault developing, the
boiler displays a unique fault code that helps identify where the fault lies.
LED STATUS INDICATOR
The Linea is equipped with an LED status indicator that gives a visual indication of whether the
boiler is working normally or has developed a fault.
DIGITAL DISPLAY
The digital display shows the current temperature
of the hot water or heating outlet (depending on
mode of operation). In addition, it also displays a

Linea
2.1 BEFORE SWITCHING ON
Before switching the appliance on please familiarise yourself with:
● How to isolate the appliance from the gas, wa-
ter, and electricity supplies.
● How to check and top-up – if necessary – the
system water pressure.
● The time clock or boiler control.
● Any external thermostats and their functions.
● The appliance controls.
2.2 APPLIANCE CONTROLS (see fig. 1)
The appliance controls are concealed behind the
front flap. To gain access to the controls simply
press the top centre of the flap, release, and pull
downwards.
The appliance has a mode selector switch, variable thermostats for controlling the temperature
of the heating flow outlet and the hot water outlet,
system pressure gauge, and an aperture for an
integral clock. The mode selector switch has three
positions:
● Hot water only
● Off
● Heating & hot water
The variable hot water thermostat allows you to
set the temperature of the water to your hot water taps between 37.5°C (min) and 65°C (max).
The appliance will have been commissioned by
your installer to deliver hot water at both a reasonable temperature and flow rate.
Should you wish to increase the temperature of
the hot water and the hot water thermostat is already set at maximum, simply reduce the flow of
water as it comes out of the tap. Please consult
your installer for further advice if required.
The variable heating thermostat allows you to set
the temperature of the water to your radiators between 40°C (min) and 80°C (max).
The pressure gauge shows the current pressure
of the system, the gauge should be set between
1 and 1.5 BAR. When the appliance is operating
the gauge may rise or fall slightly, this is quite
normal. The minimum permissible level for the
safe and efficient operation of the appliance is
0.5 BAR. Should the pressure fall below 0.5 BAR,
the boiler shuts off automatically.
Depending on the type of controls specified by
your installer you may have an integral Vokera
time clock or the Vokera remote control fitted, if
so, supplementary instructions can be found at
the back of this booklet. If an external time clock
has been fitted, please refer to the instructions
supplied with such.
2.3 LIGHTING THE BOILER
Ensure the gas and electrical supplies to the boiler
are turned on.
Turn the mode switch to the ‘heating & hot water’
position. The status indicator should be ‘Green’ if
the status indicator is flashing ‘Red’ refer to 3.2.
Refer to the particular instructions for the type of
time clock or control fitted and ensure there is a
demand for heating. If there is a room thermostat
you should ensure that this is also calling for heat.
When there is a demand for heating via the above
controls the boiler will go through an ignition sequence, whereby the burner will light.
If the appliance fails to ignite during the ignition
sequence, allow a period of two minutes before
re-setting.
To adjust the output temperature of the appliance
turn the thermostat knob clockwise to increase
or anti-clockwise to decrease.
When the appliance reaches the set temperature, the burner will go off for minimum period of
approximately 3 minutes.
When the time clock or external thermostats heating request has been satisfied, the appliance will
switch off automatically.
When the mode selector switch is in the hot water only or heating & hot water position, the boiler
will light to supply hot water whenever a hot water outlet (tap) is opened.
Periodically the appliance will light on minimum
output as a function of the pre-heat facility.

3.1 HOW TO TOP-UP THE SYSTEM PRESSURE (fig. 2)
The system pressure must be checked periodically to ensure the correct operation of the boiler.
The needle on the gauge should be reading between 1 and 1.5 BAR when the boiler is in an off
position and has cooled to room temperature. If
the pressure requires ‘topping-up’ use the following instructions as a guide.
● Locate the filling valve connections (below the
boiler).
● Attach the filling loop to both connections.
● Open the isolating valve (Left) slowly.
● Move the filling valve (Right) slowly to the fill
position (fig. 3) until you hear water entering the
system.
● Move the filling valve back to its normal posi-
tion (fig. 3) when the pressure gauge (on the
boiler) reads between 1 and 1.5 BAR.
● Close the isolating valve
● Remove the filling loop from the connections.
3.2 HOW TO RESET THE APPLIANCE
When the LED status indicator is flashing red,
the appliance will require to be reset manually.
Using the mode selector switch, turn it to the OFF/
RESET position, then turn it back to the ‘hot water only’ or ‘heating & hot water’ position (see also
3.3).
Allow a period of two minutes to elapse before
turning the mode switch to the reset position.
