If the boiler is to be placed in a cupboard this cupboard should not be used as a storage cupboard. Ventilation  
should be provided as detailed below.  
Ventilation  
This boiler does not require a purpose provided air ventilation in the room, however it does require room air  
to circulate through the boiler to ensure the convection heat output performance is maintained.  
If the boiler is installed in an enclosure or small cupboard, there must be an equivalent ventilation free area  
in the enclosure or small cupboard to that of the boiler.  
Upper Ventilation Free Area  
Lower Ventilation Free Area  
These should be the same or larger than in the  
appliance case mm2  
As above  
Electrical Supply  
This appliance must be earthed  
The appliance is supplied with a 2 m electrical flex with integral fused plug, which requires a standard 220 -  
240V ~ 50Hz supply via a normal ring main socket. If required, the plug connection can be made via the 24  
hour plug in timer supplied.  
All fuses must be ASTA approved to BS 1362  
In the event of an electrical fault after installation of the boiler, preliminary electrical system checks must be  
carried out. i.e. earth continuity, short circuit, polarity and resistance to earth.  
Central Heating Systems  
This boiler is designed specifically for use in small, pressurised, sealed system installations. The installation  
must comply with BS 6798.  
Safety Valve – The safety valve, which is pre-set at a maximum of 3 bar is an integral part of the boiler and  
cannot be adjusted. Its relief outlet must be piped to a suitable outside position.  
Pressure Gauge  
This indicates the system fill pressure. It will show a higher pressure when the system is hot.  
Circulating Pump  
The circulating pump is located inside the boiler case. Its performance is suitable for all systems to which  
the boiler should be connected.  
Expansion Vessel  
The expansion vessel, which is located inside the boiler case, has a capacity of 2.0 L, with a pre-charge of  
0.5 bar.  
The maximum heating system water content using this integral expansion vessel is 24.0 L. This is with a  
cold fill of 0.5 bar.  
Should the system volume be in excess of that specified, a second expansion vessel must be connected to the  
heating system. BS 5449 gives further guidance for expansion vessel sizing.

Location  
Before installing the boiler check that the chosen location is suitable, ensuring adequate clearance is  
available for both installation and servicing. The appliance must be mounted on a flat vertical wall.  
Prepare the Appliance  
Remove the front panel by unscrewing the two screws at the bottom of the case. Rotating the case forwards  
at the bottom 10 mm and lifting it off in an upward direction.  
Preparing the Wall  
Using the diagrams earlier in these instructions, or the appliance as a template, mark four positions on the  
wall were the fixing screws will fit. Ensure the appropriate clearances for the boiler have been established.  
The wall should be drilled with a 4 mm masonry drill after ensuring there are no electric cables within the  
hidden fabric of the building.  
Insert the rawl plugs followed by the two upper screws. These should be inserted to within 2 mm of the wall.  
Mark a suitable position for the pressure relief discharge pipe ensuring a suitable position outside. Drill  
through the wall with a 16 mm minimum diameter masonry drill to accept a 15 mm copper pipe. This is for  
the pressure relief discharge.  
Mounting the Boiler  
Locate the boiler onto the two screws. Fit the two lower screws and tighten all 4 screws to secure the  
appliance in position.  
Water Connections  
Refer to Section 3 for detailed information.  
The boiler flow and return service valves should be connected directly to the heating system. The flow is on  
the right hand side, the return being on the left hand side. Each is marked accordingly.  
A suitable method of filling the system should be fitted to the system. The method used for filling the system  
must comply with the local Water Authority Regulations. A drain cock should be fitted to the lowest point of  
the system. The pressure relief outlet should be connected to a suitable outside position.  
Electrical Connections  
The appliance is supplied with a 2 m length of 3-cone cable with a normal plug pre-wired. This can be  
plugged directly into a suitable 220 - 240V ~ 50 Hz, ring main 13 A wall socket.  
If required, the plug in timer supplied can be added to control the appliance on / off periods.  
5.  
Commissioning & Testing  
The front cover to the boiler should now be replaced.  
Fill and flush the system with all the valves open. Refill the system and check for soundness. Vent the  
system, including each radiator and the boiler. At this point the heating system should have been thoroughly  
flushed with cold water, filled and vented to a pressure of 0.5 bar cold and be free from leaks.  
Note: With the appliance switched on and the thermostat set at the lowest (off) position the pump will  
circulate water around the system but the halogen bulbs are prevented from operating.  
Plug in the boiler and switch on the electrical supply. Switch the appliance switch on and turn the control  
knob to high. The pump should start to circulate water around the system and the Halogen bulbs will start to  
heat the water. A thermostat within the boiler will control the temperature of the water as set on the control  
knob.  
Page 6 of 13  
Allow the heating system to reach operating temperature and then examine for water leaks.  
Turn off the boiler and drain whilst still hot.  
Refill and vent the heating system ensuring all air is cleared from the system and the cold fill pressure is set  
at the design pressure.  
The pressure gauge should be at 0.5 bar.  
Set the indicator on the pressure gauge to co-inside with this initial cold fill pressure.  
Allow the appliance to operate to its maximum temperature to ensure correct operation of the boiler controls.  
Check the maximum pressure of the system when at this maximum temperature and ensure no water has  
been expelled from the pressure relief outlet.  
Hand the instructions to the user for retention and instruct in the efficient and safe operation of the boiler.  
Advise the user of the precautions necessary to prevent damage to the heating system and building in the  
event of the system remaining inoperative during frost conditions.  
6.  
Operation and User notes  
During normal operation of the boiler and its heating system there should only be a need to switch the boiler  
on and off as required. The 24 hour plug in timer provided can be used to provide this function.  
The operation pressure will rise and fall in line with temperature increase and decrease of the heating system  
water temperature. This is normal operation. However should the pressure fall below that set on the pressure  
gauge (0.5 bar) this is an indication there is either a leak in the heating system or the expansion vessel is too  
small for the heating system volume. You should consult your Service Engineer in order to correct the fault.  
To shut off the boiler for short periods turn the thermostat switch to the off position. This will leave the  
pump circulating water around the heating system.  
To shut off the boiler for longer periods turn the boiler switch to the off position, this will switch the pump  
and the heating bulbs off, allowing the heating system to cool to ambient temperature.  
To shut off the boiler for extended periods whilst the house may be unoccupied when there is a possibility of  
frost turn the boiler switch to the off position and electrically isolate the boiler. Drain the heating system  
down. If a suitable anti freeze has been introduced into the heating system it may not be necessary to drain  
down.  
WARNING:- Do not switch on the appliance if there is a possibility that the water in the heater is frozen.  
Your installer will advise you about draining the system  
7.  
Routine Servicing and Replacement of Parts  
As this is an electrical boiler there is no need for regular preventative maintenance, however at periodic  
intervals each of the bulbs should be checked for operation.  
Before commencing any service operation, ISOLATE the mains electrical supply to the boiler by switching  
off at the mains plug and removing the plug from the socket. Remove the boiler front cover by first  
unscrewing the two screws at the base of the boiler and rotating and lifting the cover off the boiler.  
After completing any service operation, refit the boiler cover and re commission the boiler as detailed in  
Section 5.  
Should the supply cord become damaged it must be replaced by a special cord assembly available from the  
manufacturer or its service agent.
