COMBUSTIBLE AND CORROSIVE MATERIALS
Do not store or use any combustible materials (paper, thinners, paints etc.) inside or
within the vicinity of the boiler.
Chemically aggressive substances can corrode the boiler and invalidate any warranty.
FITTING & MODIFICATIONS
Fitting the boiler, any controls to the boiler and removal of the outer casing may only
be carried out by a competent engineer in accordance with the Gas Safety
(Installation and Use) Regulations.
Flue systems must not be modified in any way other than as described in the
Installation instructions and any misuse or unauthorised modifications to the boiler,
flue or associated components and systems could invalidate the warranty. The
manufacturer accepts no liability arising from any such actions. This does not affect
your statutory rights.

GENERAL NOTES
SERVICING
The boiler must be serviced regularly by a competent, qualified person, such as a
Worcester service engineer or alternatively a British Gas or other CORGI registered
person.
Always use original spares, to help maintain the economy, safety and reliability of the
boiler and to have the Service Record completed in the Benchmark checklist.
IMPORTANT:- Ensure that the service engineer completes the Service Record in
the Benchmark checklist after each service.
The completed Benchmark checklist will be required in the event of
any warranty work and may be required by the local Building Control
Inspector.
NOTE:
The Benchmark checklist and service interval record can be found at
the rear of the Installation, Commissioning and Servicing
Instructions.
BENCHMARK STANDARD
‘Benchmark’ is a code of practice for correctly installing, commissioning and servicing
of domestic water heating boilers.
A Benchmark Checklist is provided by the manufacturer for the installer to complete
ALL details together with their CORGI registration number and sign to confirm that the
boiler has been installed and commissioned according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
HEALTH & SAFETY
The boiler contains no asbestos and no substances used in the construction process
that contravene the COSHH Regulations (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
Regulations 1988).

GENERAL NOTES
To get the best from your boiler please
read these instructions carefully.
SEALED HEATING SYSTEMS
CLEARANCES - VENTILATED
COMPARTMENT
This boiler is fitted to a sealed heating
system which is pre-pressurised. Your
installer will advise you of the minimum
and maximum pressure which should be
indicated on the pressure gauge.
Your installer will have provided adequate
space around the boiler for safety and
servicing access. Do not restrict this
space with the addition of cupboards,
shelves etc. next to the boiler.
Check regularly that the pressure is
maintained and contact your installer or
maintenance engineer if a permanent
significant drop in pressure is indicated
on the pressure gauge. If the system
loses pressure it should be re-pressurised
and the cause of the fall investigated.

CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEMS
During the first few hours of operation of
the central heating system, check that all
radiators are being heated evenly. If the
top of a radiator is at a lower temperature
than the bottom then it should be vented
by releasing air through the venting screw
at the top of the radiator. Ask your

This boiler is fitted to a sealed system;
repeated venting will reduce the quantity
of water in the system and this must be
replenished for safe and satisfactory
operation of the boiler.

*600mm service clearance required to a fixed surface
(**25mm from removable door or panel)
Should water leaks be found in the
system or if excessive venting is required,
then a service engineer must be
contacted to inspect the installation and
rectify any fault.
ROOM THERMOSTAT
A room temperature controller and
programmer should be fitted to control the
central heating. Refer to the instructions
supplied with the thermostat for

information on siting and setting.
THERMOSTATIC RADIATOR VALVES
CONDENSATE DRAIN
It is recommended that this type of valve is
fitted to all but one of the radiators (or at
least those in the sleeping
accommodation). The remaining radiator,
which must be where the room thermostat
is located, should be un-controlled and
must be left open. The thermostatic
radiator valves should conform to the
requirements of BS2767:10.
This is a condensing boiler and the
terminal will, at times give out a plume of
water vapour. This is quite normal.
The boiler also produces quantities of
condensate which is discharged regularly
by a syphon within the boiler via a pipe to
drain. This pipe must not be blocked or
altered in any way.

PUMP ANTI-SEIZURE
If there has been no heating demand for
24 hours the boiler will run the system
pump for a few seconds to reduce the
possibility of pump seizure during long
periods of inactivity, which is usually more
frequent during the summer months.

TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING
HEATING ECONOMICALLY
The boiler is designed to provide a high level of comfort while keeping gas consumption
and the resulting environmental effect as low as possible. The gas supply to the burner
is controlled according to the level of demand for heat. The boiler continues to operate
with a low flame if the demand for heat reduces. The technical term for this process is
modulating control. Modulating control reduces temperature fluctuations and provides
even distribution of heat throughout the home. This means that the boiler may stay on
for relatively long periods but will use less gas than a boiler that continually switches on
and off.
CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEMS WITH ROOM THERMOSTATS/THERMOSTATIC
RADIATOR VALVES
The temperature control on the boiler should be set to the maximum rated temperature
of the central heating system.
The temperature of each room can be set individually (except primary room with the
room thermostat) using the thermostatic radiator valves.
ROOF INSULATION
Around 30% of the heat loss from a property is through the roof. Replace any old
insulation with new insulation, preferably of around 200mm thickness or more.
WINDOW FRAMES
Single glazed windows, particularly those with steel frames, can lose a great deal of
heat. Consideration should be given to replacement with PVCu or wooden framed
double glazed units.
CURTAINS
Lined curtains, or heavier full length curtains can provide excellent insulation. However,
always ensure that the curtains do not drape over radiators.

TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING
DRAUGHTS
Try to ensure that draughts around doors, windows, letterboxes and keyholes etc. are
reduced by using a suitable draught excluder. Warning - Do not block or seal any air
vents that are installed to ensure the central heating boiler operates safely.
ROOM THERMOSTATS
Reducing the setting of the room thermostat by 1°C can reduce fuel consumption by up
to 10%.
NEW CONTROL SYSTEMS
Upgrade your heating control system if necessary with the latest equipment available.
The minimum level of control is a programmer, interlocking room thermostat and
thermostatic radiator valves.
RADIATORS
More often than not radiators will be sited underneath a window, so the warm air from
the radiator heats the colder incoming air from the window. The performance of the
radiator will be affected if the curtains are allowed to drape over the radiator or shelves
are fitted above it. The positioning of furniture and tables in front of the radiator should
also be avoided.
It is advisable to manually adjust all radiator thermostatic valves every 2-3 months to
prevent them sticking. It is also important that the plastic tops of all valves are always in
position and not cracked or damaged to prevent accidents. Care should be taken when
vacuum cleaning carpets to avoid damage to valves and pipework.
The heating system and the outputs of the radiators have been carefully selected by
your installer. The temperature obtainable in any given room is dependent on all
radiators being operated at the same time. If you decide to turn off radiators in unused
rooms, spare bedrooms etc., you may experience slightly lower room temperatures in
rooms adjacent to unheated rooms.
