TO FIRE THE BOILER

Before fi ring the boiler, ensure the system is ful l of water,
there is sufficient oil in the storage tank and all valves are
open.

1.

In the event of th e burner not firing. wait a further mi nute

and then press the reset button aga in. If the burner stil l

ROOM THERMOSTAT
Th e room thermostat shou ld not be positioned nea r a
source of heat such as a radiator or exposed to the sun as
this w ill cause the central heating to switch off before the
room is up to temperature. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions for best siting position for the thermostat.

If the boiler is to be off fo r a long time, it is recommended

that the mains supply to the boiler is switched off or the

Ti me-switch/Program mer (if fitted) is switched to the OFF
position.

Sludge and w ater ca used by co ndensation should be

drawn off at the tank drain-cock an nually.

It is also worth noting that the heating system will usually

remain effective for up to half an hour after boiler shut
down. The timer can therefore be switched off earli er as
an economy measure.

SIMPLE FAULT FINDING

If the burner fails to start for no apparent reason, make
th e fo llowing checks before calling you r Installer or
Commissioning Engineer.

FROST PROTECTION
If the boiler and ce ntral heating is shut down for many
hours during very co ld weather, the water may be in
danger of freezing and, as such, it is advisable to protect
the installation with a frost thermostat.
Where the system is not protected, the boiler should be
left switched on and the room thermostat set to a low
setting e.g.
to prevent the building temperature
falling too low.

1.

Check for failure in the electrical supply e.g. a power

cut.

2.

Check for a blown fuse. If the fuse has blown and on

replacement blows again, switch off the mains
electrica l supply to boiler and ca ll your Service
Engineer.

3.

Check that there is adequate oil in the tank and the

shut-off va lves are open.

4.

Check for burner lock-out. Press th e reset button and

burner should fire. DO NOT PRESS MORE THAN
TWICE. Refer to 'Burner lock-out' for further advice.

re

If the system is shut down for a long period during very

cold weather, it is advisable to completely drain the
system. However, frequent draining should be avoided,
especially in hard water areas, as this could lead to
scaling of the boiler waterways.

Note: If the boiler has been off as a resu lt of a power

failure, it will be necessary .to re-set the TimeSwitch/Programmer to the co rrect tim e unless it
has a built-in power reserve.

SHUTIING DOWN FOR THE SUMMER

If the boiler is shut down for the summer months, it is
advisable to have it serviced and thoroughly cleaned as
soon as possible to minimise corrosion of the heating
surfaces.

SERVICING
To ensure efficient and reliable operation of the boiler, it
is essentia l that the oil burner is initially commissioned
by a qualified engineer and an annual service is given
thereafter, preferably by an OFTEC trained and registered
engineer.

OIL
The recommended oil for your boiler is 28 sec. Kerosene
(BS 2869 : Class C2).

Oil Tank

Notes:

Always ensure the tank is topped up at regular intervals,

do not wait until the tank is nearly empty before refilling,
otherwise sludge and water could be sucked into the oil
pipe to affect the burner's operation and reduce pump life.

(a)

It is the responsibility of the Installer to ensure

proper commissioning is ca rried out.

(b)

It is a requirement of the boiler's guarantee and

any extended warranty that an annual service is
carried out by a qualified engineer.

After a delivery of oil, it is recommended that the oil is

allowed to settle in the tank for about half an hour before
restarting the burner.

7. COMMISSIONING

8. SERVICING

It is strongly recommended that the boiler/burner unit is

commissioned by a qualified technician, preferably
OFTEC trained and registered.

To maintain the boiler's high th ermal efficiency and

reliable operati on, it should be serviced annuall y by a
qualified engineer preferably OFTEC tra in ed and
registered.

It is the responsibi lity of the installer to ensu re the boil er

is properly commissioned, failure to do so will make the
boiler's guarantee and any extended warranty null and
vo id.

NOTE: It is a requirement of the boiler's guarantee

that an annual service is carried out by a qualified
engineer.

Although all burners are factory set before despatch,

they will usually need further air adjustment to achieve
the readings indicated under 'Burner Settings' because
of site variations in flue draught and back pressure.

If th e boiler is used to provide centra l heating and hot

water all yea r round, the best time for its an nual service
is just before the start of the heating season.
Where the boiler is shut down for the summer month s,
the service should be carried out as soon as possible after
the end ofthe heating season.

Procedure
1.

Switch off electrical supply to boiler.

2.

Ensure boiler is full of water and all valves are open.

3.

Remove flue-cover and check that flue-baffles are

correctly positioned ISee Fig. 16 for baffle
arrangement).

4.

Di sconnect oil hose from trurner, open shutoff va lve

and run off a quantity of oil into a container to check
for a clean air free supply then reconnect hose. (This
applies to a single pipe gravity system only).

5.

6.

7.

8.

Oil tank
Open tank drain-cock to draw off any accumulated wate r
and sludge.

Line filters
Turn off oil supply and remove filter bowl. Wash filter
element clean with kerosen e.

Servicing the Burner

Check that the time-switch (if fitted) is in the ON

position and room and boiler thermostats are ca ll ing
for heat.

1.

Switch off electri ca l supply to boiler and turn off oil.

2.

Note: Th e burn er may lock-out on first firing due to

air in the pump, if this happens, wait about a minute
before pressing reset button to restart burn er. If a
fur1her lock-out occurs, the air should be bled from
the pump pressure gauge con nection.

Disconnect the burner lead from underneath controlpanel, unscrew burner retaining nut and withdraw
burner from boiler, leavi ng mounting-flange
attached to boi ler.

3.

Slide off combustion head after slackening the two

retain ing screws and clean air holes and vanes.

4.

Start and stop the burner two or three times until the
flam e cuts off sharply - this indicates any remain ing
air has been dispersed.

Fit a new nozzle with one of th e same specification do not attempt to clean or dismantle nozzle.

5.

Allow the burner to run for about 15 minutes, then

take a C02 reading through the sampling hole in
flue-cover. Compare the reading with that given
under 'Burner Settings' and adjust the air setting if
necessary to achieve the required CO 2%. Also, check
the smoke and flue gas tempe ratu re.

Clean ignition electrodes and check their settings in

relation to nozzle tip. Also, inspect the porcelain
insu lators and replace electrodes if there are cracks
or signs of crazing.

6.

Remove burner-cover, pull out co ntrol-box (after

releasing side screw) and clean photo-ce ll.

7.

Remove R/H side offan casing and check impeller for

deposits - clean blades as necessary.

8.

Remove end ca p from oil pump and take out filter.

Wash clean with kerosene and replace.

9.

Check flexible oil hosels} for oil leaks and rep lace
w here necessary w ith a similar ' long life' hose
supplied with boiler.

Switch on electrical supply and the burner should

sta r1.

Handing over
After completing the boiler installation, the installer
shou ld make a thorough check of the system to ensu re it
is completely satisfactory and demonstrate to the user
the operation of the boiler and any system controls.

10. Reassemble all par1s but do not refit burner to boiler

All instructions should be handed to the user for

retention and advice given regarding the need for annual
servicing.

until boiler flue-ways have been cleaned

16

Servicing the Boiler

(Burner removed)
1.

Remove the flue cover and lift out flue baffles.

5.

Refit burner to boiler in reverse order to removal.

2.

Brush all deposits from flue baffles and internal

surfaces of the boiler.

6.

Turn on oil supply, switch on electricity and burner

3.

Remove flue deposits from the combustion chamber

floor using a vacuum cleaner.

7.

4.

Repla ce flue baffles in correct arrangement (see Fig.

14 for order of assembly). Re-fit flue cover and fully
tighten nuts to make a gas tight seal.

Finally check the combusion readings with those

given under 'Burner Settings' and make any air or
pressure adjustments necessary.
