1.6 This appliance contains no asbestos products.
There is no potential hazard due to the appliance being
electrically unsafe.
There are no substances used that are a potential hazard in
relation to the COSHH Regulations 1988.
1.7 The advice and instructions given in this document covers, as
far as possible, the foreseeable situations which may arise. Contact
Worcester Heat Systems Technical Helpline for advice on specific
installations.
1.8 Product Liability regulations indicate that, in certain
circumstances, the installer can be held responsible, not only for
mistakes on his part but also for damage resulting from the use of
faulty materials. We advise that, to avoid any risk, only quality
approved branded fittings be used.
The
Benchmark initiative is the new code of practice to
encourage the correct installation, commissioning and servicing
of domestic central heating boilers and system equipment.
The 'Log-book' is a vital document that must be completed
by the installer at the time of installation. It confirms that the
boiler has been installed and commissioned according to the
manufacturers instructions.
Without the completion of the Log-book, manufacturers may
refuse to respond to a call-out from a householder, who will be
advised that he or she must call back the installer, who has not
fulfilled his obligations to record the information required by the
initiative.
It is important that:
The services and the system are properly flushed as specified.
The User is clearly instructed on the correct operation of the
appliance.
The benefits of regular servicing are explained - to maintain the
efficiency and extend the life of the appliance.
2.1 General Information
The appliance is set to give the maximum output of 27.5 kW to
the domestic hot water and to the heating system. The hot water
flow rate is limited to a nominal 10 l/min at a maximum
temperature rise of 40°C.
The sanitary water section of the appliance is suitable for mains
water pressure of up to 10bar.
2.2 Electrical Supply
230V - 50Hz. Load 180 watts. External fuse 3A, Internal fuses F1
- 2A, F2 - 1.0A (20mm).
2.3 Gas supply
The appliance requires a maximum of 3.17 m
3
/h of natural gas
(G20). The installation and the connection of the gas supply to
the appliance must be in accordance with BS6891.
The meter or regulator should deliver a dynamic pressure of 20
mbar (G20) at the appliance, which is equivalent to about 19-
19.5 mbar at the gas valve inlet pressure test point.
2.4 Installation
The appliance is suitable for indoor installation only and for use
with a sealed system only.
Do not place anything on top of the appliance.
It is a room sealed appliance and a separate combustion air
supply is not required in any room or compartment in which the
appliance is fitted.
If the appliance is fitted in a cupboard or a compartment is built
around it after installation, then the structure must conform to
the requirements of BS6798 and BS5440 Part 2. However,
because of the low casing losses, there is not a need for the
cooling ventilation openings in the compartment.
The spaces
specified in Section 6.3 must be maintained.
There is space for the service pipes to pass at the back of the
appliance.
2.5 Flue
The appliance has a multi-directional fanned flue system.
The standard telescopic flue assembly length is from 330mm to
