Euroflame Oil Boilers
The boiler will provide domestic hot water and central
heating and is fully automatic once switched on. An
illuminated On/Off switch, see Fig. A, is fitted to the
Euroflame Kitchen/Utility model, which lights when the
boiler is switched on, but does not necessarily indicate the
burner is firing.
To access the Kitchen/Utility model controls, pull the
front panel off (push-on fixings).
1 Ensure that - There is sufficient fuel, of the correct
type, in the supply tank and all fuel supply valves are
open. The water supply is on. The electricity supply
to the boiler is off. The boiler On/Off switch is set to
OFF (Kitchen/Utility models, the neon in the switch is
not alight). The room thermostat (if fitted) is at the
desired setting. The boiler thermostat is set to the
required setting (see section 1.7).
2Switch on the electricity supply to the boiler.
Note: Boiler House models will light at this stage.
3For Kitchen/Utility models, set the On/Off switch to
ON. A neon in the switch lights when it is in the on
position.
The boiler will now light automatically.

Kitchen/Utility models for short periods - Set the On/
Off to OFF.
To restart, simply set the switch to ON.
Kitchen/Utility models for long periods: Set the On/Off
switch to OFF and switch off the electricity supply to the
boiler. If required, the fuel supply valve may be closed and
the water and electricity supplies turned off at the mains.
To restart, refer to the full lighting instructions above.
Boiler House models for short periods - Switch off the
electricity supply to the boiler.
To restart, switch on the electricity supply to the boiler.
Boiler House models for long periods - Switch off the
electricity supply to the boiler. If required the fuel supply
valve may be closed and the water and electricity supplies
turned off at the mains.
To restart, refer to the full lighting instructions given
previously.
1Check that the boiler On/Off switch is ON.
2Check that any remote programmer (if fitted) is
working and is in an 'on' period.
3Check that all thermostats are set to the desired setting
and are calling for heat.
4Check if the burner 'Lock-out' reset button is lit. If it is,
press it to start the burner. If the burner fails to light and
goes to 'Lock-out' again, check that you have sufficient
fuel in the storage tank and that the fuel supply valve is
open.
5Ensure that a fuse has not blown or that the electricity
supply has not failed.
6Check to see if the safety thermostat has operated (see
section 1.7).
If the burner still fails to light after carrying out these
checks then a fault exists. Switch off the electricity supply
to the boiler and contact your Service engineer.
Euroflame boilers will operate on either Class C2 Kerosene
or Class D Gas Oil. Your Installer will have informed you of
the type of fuel your boiler has been set to use and he will
have marked this on the boiler data label. You should always
quote the type of fuel you require when ordering from your
supplier.
Note: Balanced flue models (flue terminal through the
wall) must only be used with Kerosene.
Do not wait until the fuel runs out before you order some
more. Sludge in the bottom of the tank may be drawn into
the fuel lines. If it is possible, switch off the boiler when
the new supply is delivered and leave the fuel to settle for
an hour before restarting the boiler.
1 Boiler thermostat - This control allows the
temperature of the water leaving the boiler to heat the
radiators and domestic hot water to be adjusted.
Note: If you have a cylinder thermostat on your hot
water cylinder, this will control the temperature of
your domestic hot water. The boiler thermostat setting
must be equal to or above the cylinder thermostat
setting to enable the cylinder thermostat to control the
domestic hot water system.
The boiler thermostat has an operating range of 65 to
85°C. The following settings are recommended:-
a Heating and hot water in Winter 85°C
b Hot water only in Summer 65°C
2 Burner Lock-out reset button - If there is a burner
malfunction, a built-in safety circuit switches the
burner off and the Lock-out reset button will light.
Usually such malfunctions are short lived and
pressing the reset button will restore normal
operation.
If the burner continually goes to 'Lock-out' a fault
exists or the fuel supply is low. If you have sufficient
fuel, you will need to call your Service engineer.
3 Safety thermostat - Your boiler is fitted with a safety
overheat thermostat which will automatically switch
off the boiler in the case of a control malfunction
causing overheating.
If your boiler goes off and you try to light it but nothing
happens and the 'Lock-out' reset button on the burner is
not lit, the overheat thermostat has probably operated.
The boiler will not light until the thermostat is reset. To
reset, unscrew the small plastic cap (see Fig. 30a or 30b),
press the button then replace the cap.
If this condition continually repeats, contact your
Service engineer.

4 Ventilation - Always ensure that the boiler has
adequate ventilation. Any ventilation openings
provided by the Installer must not be obstructed.
Periodically check that they are clear.
Do not attempt to 'box in' the boiler or build a
compartment around it before consulting your
Installer.
Do not place any combustible material around or on
the boiler or flue pipe.
5 Flue terminal - The flue terminal on the outside wall
must not be obstructed or damaged.
In severe conditions check that the terminal does not
become blocked by snow.
6 Frost protection - Your Installer may have fitted a
frost thermostat. If not, and you are likely to be away
for a short time, leave the boiler on with the boiler
thermostat set at a low setting. For longer periods the
boiler and system should be drained. Contact your
Service engineer for draining and filling the system.
7 Cleaning and servicing - Lightly wipe over the case
with a damp cloth and a little detergent. Do not use
abrasive pads or cleaners.
You should have your boiler serviced at least once a
year to ensure safe and efficient operation. Contact
your Service engineer for further details.
8 Failure of electricity supply - If the electricity
supply fails, the boiler will not operate. It should
relight automatically when the supply is restored.
If a programmer is fitted (Multi Pass Kitchen models
only) it will retain the time settings for up to 24 hours
and will not have to be reset to the correct time of day
when the supply is restored (the display remains for
up to 1 hour, but will re-appear when the supply is
restored).
The boiler requires a 230/240 V ~ 50 Hz supply. It must
be protected by a 5 Amp fuse.
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
If your boiler is operating on a sealed heating system, the
installer will have pressurised the system and should have
told you (or set it on the pressure gauge) the system
pressure when cold (this is normally between 0.8 and 1.0
bar, which will increase slightly when hot). If the pressure
(when cold) is below the set pressure mentioned above,
you should contact your Installer or Service engineer to
re-pressurise the system. If the system requires frequent
re-pressuring, ask your Installer or Service engineer to
check the heating system for leaks.
The boiler or system will be fitted with an automatic air
vent to remove air from the system. Any air trapped in the
radiators should be removed by venting the radiators
using the vent screw at the top of each radiator. Only vent
a radiator if the top is cool and the bottom is hot.
Excessive venting will reduce the system pressure, so
only vent when necessary and check the system pressure
as mentioned above. Re-pressurise the system if
necessary.
Note: Your system may incorporate a 'Top-Up' vessel,
advice on how to use it should be obtained from your
installer.
The boiler or system will be fitted with a safety valve to
release excess pressure from the system. If water or steam
is emitted from the end of the safety valve discharge pipe,
switch off the boiler and contact your Installer or Service
engineer.
The expansion vessel air charge must be checked
annually. Failure to maintain an adequate air charge
in the vessel may invalidate the warranty.

3.4.1 Fuel storage
A painted (outside only) storage tank must be
constructed to BS 799:5:1987 and should include the
following:-
a A fuel level gauge (not a glass type).
b A vent pipe incorporating a weatherproof
termination (bend or cap) of a diameter not less
than the filling pipe.
c A sludge valve.
d An outlet valve at the opposite end of the tank
to the sludge valve.
The tank should be positioned in accordance with the
recommendations given in BS 5410:1:1997, which
gives details of filling, maintenance and protection
from fire.
The tank should be suitably supported so as to obtain a
slope of 20 mm per metre towards the sludge valve.
A galvanised tank must not be used.
A plastic tank may be used and must comply with OFS
T100.
Note: Plastic tanks should be adequately and
uniformly supported on a smooth level surface, across
their entire base area.
3.4.2 Fuel pipes
1 Fuel supply pipes should be of copper tubing with
an internal diameter of at least 8 mm.
Soldered joints should not be used.
Galvanised pipe must not be used.
2 Flexible pipes must not be used outside the boiler case.
3 A remote sensing fire valve must be installed in the
fuel supply line (outside) where it enters the
building, with the sensing head located above the
burner. Recommendations are given in BS
5410:1:1997.
4 A metal bowl type filter with a replaceable
micronic filter must be fitted in the fuel supply line
adjacent to the boiler. A shut-off valve should be
fitted before the filter, to allow the filter to be
serviced.
5 A flexible fuel line, adaptor and 1/4" BSP isolation
valve are supplied loose with the boiler for the final
connection to the burner. If a two pipe system or Tiger
Loop system is used, an additional flexible fuel line
(900 mm) and 3/8" to 1/4" BSP male adaptor are
available from Grant Engineering (UK) Limited.
6 Flexible fuel lines should be inspected annually
when the boiler is serviced and replaced every two
years.
7 The use of a 'Tankmaster' and Tiger Loop is an
ideal way of delivering an oil supply to the boiler.
The Tankmaster unit, fitted to the storage tank,
includes a filter, sight tube, shut-off valve and fire
valve. A separate fire valve is required in the fuel
line (outside) where it enters the building
containing the boiler. See Fig. 4.
3.4.3 Single pipe system - (See Fig. 2)
1 Where the storage tank outlet is above the burner
the single pipe system should be used. The height
of the tank above the burner limits the length of
pipe run from the tank to the burner.
2 As supplied the burner is suitable for a single pipe
system.
3.4.4 Two pipe system - (See Fig. 3)
1 When the storage tank outlet is below the burner,
the two pipe system should be used. The pipe runs
should be as shown in Fig. 3. The return pipe
should be at the same level in the tank as the
supply pipe, both being 75 to 100 mm above the
base of the tank. The pipe ends should be a
sufficient distance apart so as to prevent any
sediment disturbed by the return entering the
supply pipe.
2 Avoid the bottom of the tank being more than 3 m
below the burner.
3 A non-return valve should be fitted in the supply
pipe together with the filter and fire valve. The
return pipe must be unrestricted.
4 To be used with a two-pipe system, the burner
must be fitted with an additional flexible fuel line
(a flexible fuel line (900 mm) and 3/8" to 1/4" BSP
male adaptor are available from Grant Engineering
(UK) Limited). See section 3.4.6.
5 The pump vacuum should not exceed 0.4 bar.
Beyond this limit gas is released from the oil.
For guidance on installation of top outlet fuel tanks and
suction oil supply sizing, see OFTEC booklet T1/139.

3.4.5 Tiger Loop system - (See Figs. 4 and 5)
1 When The storage tank is below the burner, an
alternative to a two pipe system can be achieved using
the Tiger Loop oil deaerator. This effectively removes
the air from the oil supply on a single pipe lift.
2 The Tiger Loop is connected close to the boiler as
a two pipe system (omitting the non-return valve)
as shown in Fig. 4. Refer to the manufacturers
instructions supplied with the Tiger Loop.
The Tiger Loop must be mounted vertically.
Note: To prevent any possibility of fuel fumes
entering the building, the Tiger Loop must be
fitted outside.

1 A 230/240 V ~ 50 Hz mains supply is required.
The boiler must be earthed.
2 The supply must be fused at 5 Amp and there must
only be one common isolator for the boiler and
control system, and it must provide complete
electrical isolation.
3 A fused double pole switch or a fused three pin
plug and shuttered outlet socket should be used for
the connection.
4 The power supply cable should be at least 0.75 mm²
PVC as specified in BS 6500, Table 16.
5 All the wiring external to the boiler must be in
accordance with the current I.E.E. Wiring
Regulations.
6 Any room thermostat or frost thermostat used must
be suitable for use on mains voltage.
7 In the event of an electrical fault after installation
of the boiler, the following electrical system checks
must be carried out:- Short circuit, Polarity, Earth
continuity and Resistance to earth.
See Figs. 7 and 8
A sufficient permanent air supply to the boiler should be
provided:
a For proper combustion of fuel and effective discharge
of combustion products to the open air.
b For the ventilation of any confined space in which
the boiler is installed to prevent overheating of the
boiler any equipment in and near the boiler.
c For the satisfactory operation of any draught
stabiliser which may be fitted.
It should be both the designer's and installer's concern
that the air required for these functions be introduced so
as to cause as little discomfort as possible to the building
occupants and thus to offer them the least temptation to
obstruct the ventilators.
Further details may be obtained from BS 5410:1:1997.
Notes:For a boiler fitted in a compartment, which is
ventilated as shown, no additional allowance is
necessary.
Open flue - Extract fans, where needed, should
be in accordance with section 4.4.7 in BS 5410

Grant boilers have high operating efficiencies. Care
must be taken to ensure the flue system is suitable for
the low flue gas temperatures.
1 An insulated flue terminating in a down draught
free area, i.e. at least 600 mm above the point of
exit through the roof or preferably above the ridge
level, will normally provide the necessary draught
of at least 8.7 N/m2 (0.035 in wg) as measured close
to the boiler connection. If a draught of 37 N/m2
(0.15 in wg) or more is measured, then a draught
stabiliser should be fitted in the flue.
2 The flue terminal must be at least 600 mm from
any opening into the building, and 600 mm above
any vertical structure or wall less than a horizontal
distance of 750 mm from the terminal. See Fig. 10.
3 If an existing chimney is used, it must be lined with
a stainless steel liner for use with fuel oil. The top
and bottom of the annular space must be sealed and
the void filled with a suitable insulating material to
reduce cooling of the flue gases.
4 If a rigid flue is used either internally or externally, it
must be of the twin wall type with a stainless steel
inner skin suitably insulated and weather proofed.
5The flue diameter must be as specified in
section 2.1 for the size of boiler in question.
6 The flue must be run upwards following as near a
vertical route as possible. Horizontal runs must be
avoided and no bends should have an angle of more than
45° from the vertical. There should be at least 600 mm
of vertical flue above the boiler before the first bend.
7 A sealed cleaning door must be provided near the
base of the flue.
8 The exposed flue pipe between the boiler and the
chimney must not be of an asbestos material and
aluminium must not be used in any part of the flue.
9 If the draught conditions are satisfactory, the flue
should terminate with a standard cowl suitable for
pressure jet oil boilers. Where the flue cannot
terminate above the ridge of the roof, use an 'OH'
or similar type cowl where downdraughting occurs.
Ridge vent terminals must not be used.
10 Refer to the locally applicable Building
Regulations, BS 5410:1 and OFTEC Installation
Requirements (Books 2 and 3) for further guidance
on conventional flue systems.
11 To allow for flue gas analysis and combustion
testing, a test point is provided in the cleaning
cover. Alternatively, a test hole can be drilled in
the flue pipe.

2 Notwithstanding the dimensions
given, a terminal should be at least
300 mm from combustible material,
e.g. a window frame.
3 A way of providing protection of
combustible material would be to fit a
heat shield at least 750 mm wide.
When a low level concentric balanced flue is used, the
terminal guard must be fitted in all circumstances to
prevent objects entering the flue pipe.
20 Euroflame Oil Boilers
For additional protection of either the entire heating
system, or the boiler and localised pipework, it is
recommended that a frost thermostat be installed.
Refer to section 8 for connection details.
To protect the heating system the frost thermostat
should be sited within the house in such a place that it
can detect any rise and fall in the ambient air
temperature, i.e. in a room with a radiator.
Where the frost thermostat is installed outside the
house (to protect a boiler installed in an external boiler
room or garage) or in an attic, it is recommended that
it be used in conjunction with a pipe thermostat to
avoid unnecessary and wasteful overheating of the
property. The pipe thermostat should be located on the
boiler return pipe, and set to operate at 25°C. Refer to
section 8 for connection details.
1 The boiler must stand on a surface that is firm and
level. It does not require a special hearth as the
temperature of the boiler base is less than 50°C.
2 Sufficient clearance must be allowed around the
boiler for the following:-
Access above the boiler to remove the baffles for
servicing.
Access at the front of the boiler to remove the
burner.
3 If the boiler is to be installed with a side against a
wall, allow a nominal clearance of 20 mm for the
plugs for the water connections. Water connections
may be taken from one side only if required (see
section 3.12, paragraph 2).
Kitchen/Utility and Boiler House - See Fig. 11
1 A high level flow and low level return connection
are provided on each side of the boiler. See Fig. 1.
1" BSP connections are used on 50/70, 70/90
models and 1¼" on 90/120 models.
2 Flow and return connections should preferably be
diagonally opposed, i.e. to opposite sides of the
boiler. If the boiler is to be positioned against a
wall, the water connections may be taken from one
side only.
3 All models have a tapping (½" BSP) on the front
for the thermostat pocket, (pocket supplied loose
with Boiler House models).
4 All water connections have been temporarily sealed
with plastic caps to prevent any residual water
(from factory testing) leaking from the boiler
during transit. All the caps must be removed before
connecting any fittings.
Plug all unused connections.
5 Fit drain taps in the central heating and domestic
hot water systems to allow the complete system to
be fully drained.
6 Thoroughly flush the system before fitting the pump.
System boiler
The system pipework may exit the boiler from either the
left hand or right side of the boiler casing. See Fig. 1.
1 Fit any elbows, bushes etc. to the heating return
tapping at the bottom (1" BSP 50/90 or 1¼" BSP
90/120) before placing the boiler in position if
access is restricted. Do not forget to plug the
unused connection on the opposite side.
2 The heating flow pipe (22 mm 50/90 or 28 mm 90/120)
and 15 mm safety valve discharge pipe are provided
with pushfit Tectite elbows to enable quick and simple
installation. Orientate the elbows for left or right hand
connection. Ensure that the installation pipework is
pushed fully home into the elbows.
The 90/120 boiler is supplied with a 28mm flow pipe
factory fitted for left hand side exit. A 28mm push fit
Tectite elbow is provided for easy connection of the
heating system pipework.
If required, the flow pipe may exit through the right
hand side panel. The 28mm factory fitted flow pipe
must be turned 90° and routed across the boiler
behind the control panel.
Important: Care must be taken not to obstruct
the cleaning cover door on top of the boiler as
removal of the door and the boiler baffles will
not be possible.
3 The safety valve discharge pipe must be routed clear
of the boiler to the outside, to discharge in such a
manner that the discharge can be seen but cannot
cause injury or damage to persons or property.
4 The cold fill shut off valve should be fitted in an
accessible position close to the boiler to enable
connection of the temporary flexible filling loop to
the boiler.
