Section 1 – General
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Logic Max Combi 2 C range of boilers are wall mounted, condensing,
combination gas boilers.
Features:
- High efficiency
- Full sequence
- Automatic spark ignition
- Low water content
- Fanned flue
The boiler is supplied fully assembled with a DHW plate heat exchanger,
diverter valve, circulating pump, pressure gauge, PRV and CH expansion vessel.
Variable CH and DHW temperature controls are fitted on the user control and
the boiler features a DHW preheat facility.
The boiler includes as standard:
-Automatic bypass
– Boiler frost protection
– Daily pump and diverter valve exercise.
The boiler casing is of white painted mild steel with a white polymer front
panel.
The boiler temperature controls are visibly located in the control panel on
the front of the boiler.
The heat exchanger is manufactured from cast aluminium.
The boiler is suitable for connection to fully pumped, sealed heating systems
ONLY. Adequate arrangements for completely draining the system by provision of
drain cocks
MUST be provided in the installation pipework.
Pipework from the boiler is routed downwards.
A PRV grommet is fitted to the boiler which requires the correct fitting and
securing of a clip (supplied) to ensure safe discharge of the PRV should this
occur.
The Ideal System filter is supplied with this boiler. Installation
instructions for this are located within the system filter box.
Be sure to follow Ideal System filter installation and maintenance guide for
correct method of installation. Failure to install the system filter correctly
will affect boiler warranty.
Data Plate
The boiler model and serial number are shown on the data label which can be
located on the bottom of the boiler casing, shown in – Water & Gas Connection
Diagram. 1.2 OPERATION
With no demand for CH, the boiler fires only when DHW is drawn off, or
periodically for a few seconds without any DHW draw-off, in order to maintain
the DHW plate heat exchanger in a heated condition. This only occurs if the
“PREHEAT” button is pressed and the display reads “PREHEAT ON or PREHEAT
TIMED”.
When there is a demand for CH, the heating system is supplied at the selected
temperature of between 30 o C and o 80 C, until DHW is drawn off. The full
output from the boiler is then directed via the diverter valve to the plate
heat exchanger to supply a nominal DHW draw-off of:
24 kW 9.9 l/min at 35ºC temperature rise.
30 kW 12.4 l/min at 35ºC temperature rise.
35 kW 14.5 l/min at 35ºC temperature rise.
The DHW draw off rate specified above is the nominal that the boiler flow
regulator will give. Due to system variations and seasonal temperature
fluctuations DHW flow rates/temperature rise will vary, requiring adjustment
at the draw off tap.
At low DHW draw-off rates the maximum temperature may exceed 65ºC.
The boiler features a comprehensive diagnostic system which gives detailed
information on the boiler status when operating, and performance of key
components to aid commissioning and fault finding.
1.3 SAFE HANDLING
This boiler may require 2 or more operatives to move it to its installation
site, remove it from its packaging base and during movement into its
installation location. Maneuvering the boiler may include the use of a sack
truck and involve lifting, pushing and pulling.

[0] Zone 0
[1] Zone 1
[2] Zone 2
[2*] Without the end wall, zone 2 must extend 600 mm from the bath
[A] 600 mm radius from the bath or shower
Compartment Installations
A boiler installed in a compartment does not require ventilation.
However, A boiler installed in a compartment must provide adequate clearances
for servicing. The compartment should also be fitted with a suitable label in
accordance with current standards.
1.8 AIR SUPPLY
It is not necessary to have an air vent in the room or internal space where
the boiler is installed.
1.9 GAS SUPPLY
Consult the local gas supplier to establish an adequate supply of gas. Do
not use existing service pipes without consulting the local gas supplier.
The gas supply must be governed with a meter.
A gas meter can only be connected by the local gas supplier or by a Gas Safe
Registered Engineer.
An existing meter should be checked, preferably by the gas supplier, to ensure
that the meter is adequate to deal with the required gas supply rate.
It is the responsibility of the Gas Installer to size the gas installation
pipework in accordance with BS6891.
Whilst the principle of the 1:1 gas valve ensures the Logic range is able to
deliver it is full output at inlet pressures as low as 14 mb, other gas
appliances in the property may not be as tolerant. When operating pressures
are found to be below the minimum meter outlet of 19 mb these should be
checked to ensure this is adequate for correct and safe operation. Allowing
for the acceptable pressure loss of 1mb across the installation pipework, it
can be assumed that a minimum permitted operating pressure of 18mb will be
delivered to the inlet of the appliance.
(Reference BS6400-1 Clause 6.2 Pressure Absorption).
The external gas cock could further reduce the operating pressure when
measured at its test point. The pressure drop is relative to the heat input to
the boiler (kW), refer to graph below.
IMPORTANT: Ensure all gas valve connections are gas tight with a gas
soundness check up to the gas control valve.
Installation pipes must be fitted in accordance with BS6891.
The complete installation MUST be tested for gas tightness and purged as
described, for the majority of installations the appropriate standard is
IGEM/UP/1B [23], but alternatively IGEM/UP/1 [21] or IGEM/UP/1A [22], as
appropriate, can be utilized.
1.10 WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: A minimum length of 1 metre of copper pipe MUST be fitted to
both flow and return connections from the boiler before connection to any
plastic piping.
The central heating system should be in accordance with BS6798 and, in
addition, for smallbore and microbore systems, BS5449.
Water treatment is covered later in these instructions.
1.11 BOILER CONTROLS
Install CH controls to ensure that the boiler has no demand when there is no
requirement from the system.
Heating systems with TRVs in individual rooms must include a thermostat to
control the temperature in rooms without TRVs. At least 10% of the minimum
boiler heat output should be achieved using a room thermostat. A bypass
circuit with an automatic bypass valve must be fitted to systems with TRVs or
two-port valves on all the radiators to ensure water flow.
1.12 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed
Wiring external to the appliance MUST be in accordance with the current I.E.E.
(BS7671) Wiring Regulations and any local regulations which apply.
The mains supply to the boiler and system wiring centre shall be through one
common fused double pole isolator and for new heating systems, and where
practical replacement installations, the isolator shall be situated adjacent
to the appliance.
1.13 CONDENSATE DRAIN
The condensate drain provided must be connected to the drainage point on site.
All condensate drainage pipework and fittings must be made of plastic.
IMPORTANT: The condensate drain pipework should be installed in
accordance with BS6798.
The drain outlet on the boiler is sized for standard 21.5 mm overflow pipe. It
is a universal fitting to allow use of different brands of pipework. 1.14
BOILER DIMENSIONS, SERVICES & CLEARANCES
The boiler connections are made on the boiler connection tails.
The following minimum clearances must be maintained for operation and
servicing.
Additional space will be required for installation, depending upon site
conditions.
Side and Rear Flue
a. Provided that the flue hole is cut accurately, e.g. with a core drill, the
flue can be installed from inside the building where wall thicknesses do not
exceed 600 mm.
Front Clearance
The minimum front clearance when built in to a cupboard is 5 mm from the
cupboard door but 450 mm overall clearance is still required, with the
cupboard door open, to allow for servicing.
* Bottom Clearance
Bottom clearance after installation can be reduced to 15 mm.
This must be obtained with an easily removable panel to provide the 100 mm
clearance required for servicing.
For easy access to the pressure gauge a bottom clearance of 15 mm is required
for a partial open door.
PRV Grommet IMPORTAN T: Please ensure there is sufficient clearance
either side and below the boiler, particularly from door hinges and the base
of a cupboard, to allow the door to be opened to allow the pressure gauge to
be checked. Also ensure there is sufficient access to the system filter for

Where the water hardness exceeds 200 mg/litre (200 ppm), it is recommended that a proprietary scale reducing device is fitted into the boiler cold supply within the requirements of the local water company.
**IMPORTANT: Provision must be made to accommodate the expansion of DHW
contained within the appliance. If the DHW inlet contains a back flow
prevention
device or non-return valve, e.g. a water meter, then a mini expansion vessel
should be fitted between the device and the boiler in the cold inlet pipe.
Cold water, rising main and pipework in exposed areas need to be suitably
lagged to prevent freezing.
Note DHW Expansion Vessel kit available from Ideal.
1.17 SYSTEM BALANCING**
The boiler does not normally need a bypass but at least some radiators on the
heating circuit, of load of at least 10% of the minimum boiler output, must be
provided with twin lockshield valves so that this minimum heating load is
always available.
Note. Systems incorporating zone valves which could completely cut off the
flow through the system must also include a bypass.
Balancing
- Set the programmer to ON.
- Close the manual or thermostatic valves on all radiators, leaving the twin lockshield valves (on the radiators referred to above) in the OPEN position.
- Turn up the room thermostat and adjust the lockshield valve to give an uninterrupted flow through the radiator. These valves should now be left as set.
- Open all manual or thermostatic radiator valves and adjust the lockshield valves on the remaining radiators, to give around 20 o C temperature drop at each radiator.
- Adjust the room thermostat and programmer to
NORMAL settings.
Note. Systems incorporating zone valves which could completely cut off the flow through the system must also include a bypass.
1.18 WATER TREATMENT
CAUTION: Do not fill the heating system with softened water. Softened
water could enhance corrosion.
Central Heating
The Logic range of boilers have an ALUMINIUM alloy heat exchanger.
IMPORTANT The application of any other treatment to this product may
render the guarantee of Ideal Heating invalid.
The Ideal System Filter will aid against the build up of iron oxide debris,
however the below water treatment is also recommended by Ideal Heating.
Ideal Heating recommend Water Treatment in accordance with the Benchmark
Guidance Notes on Water Treatment in Central Heating Systems.
If water treatment is used, Ideal Heating recommend only the use of
SCALEMASTER SM-1 PRO, FERNOX MBI, ADEY MC1, SENTINEL X100 or CALMAG CM100
inhibitors and associated water treatment products, which must be used in
accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions.
- It is most important that the correct concentration of the water treatment products is maintained in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions.
- If the boiler is installed in an existing system any unsuitable additives MUST be removed by thorough cleansing. BS7593:2019 details the steps necessary to clean a domestic heating system.
- In hard water areas, treatment to prevent lime scale may be necessary – however the use of artificially softened water is NOT permitted.
- Under no circumstances should the boiler be fired before the system has been thoroughly flushed.

2.8 FLUES AND LOCATIONS – CONTINUED
Section 2 – Flue Installation
B = Top Clearance
Top Clearance is measure from the top of the turret to the top of the hole
where the flue terminates.
L = Effective flue length.
The effective length of the flue is measured from the edge of the turret to
the flue terminal lip.
Flue systems that require extension kits must be installed with a 1.5° decline
from the flue terminal back to the boiler.
A 1.5° decline can be achieved by designing the flue with a 26 mm rise per
meter length of flue.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Install the flue in accordance to BS 5440:1 2008
Position the terminal, so the products of combustion do not cause a nuisance.
The terminal outlet duct must not be closer than 25 mm to combustible
material.
The flue is secured in the wall using either sand and cement or heatproof
silicone.
The flue must be supported by a bracket every metre of flue length and at
every change of direction. Concealed flues must have inspection hatches no
more than 1.5 metres from joints.
Where possible inspection hatches should be located at change of directions.
Where this is not possible then bends must be viewable from both sides.
Inspection hatches must be at least 300 mm²

Flue Design
IMPORTANT:
- Flue lengths may vary, always measure flue lengths before cutting.
- Effective flue length and actual flue length are different measurements.
- Effective flue length is made up of the flue length equivalence and the flue sections between the turret, elbows and terminal.
- Actual flue length is the amount of flue needed to achieve the effective flue length, this includes insertions.
Part | Actual Length | Insertion | Effective Length |
---|---|---|---|
1 m flue length | 1 m | 30 mm | 970 mm |
1 m flue length | 1 m | 30 mm | 970 mm |
0.6 m flue terminal | 0.6 m | 30 mm | 570 mm |
Total | 2.6 m | 90 mm | 2510 mm |
2.12 FITTING THE TURRET
- Ensure the condensate trap in filled with water
- Ensure the rubber seal is not damaged and fitted correctly on the appliance manifold.
- Firmly hold the flue and push the turret on until it has travelled 30 mm ensuring the flue has not rotated or moved forward.
- Push the turret into the manifold ensuring the upper plastic lip is flush with the top of the manifold.
- Fully engage the clamp location section into the manifold location hole and rotate down onto the flange.
- Use the securing screws to secure the clamp to the appliance.
- Ensure all sample points are accessible and all sample plugs and caps are fitted.
2.13 CUTTING THE FLUE
CUTTING HORIZONTAL FLUE TERMINAL (non-telescopic)
- Measure the required cut flue length (A + 44 mm)
- Measure from the outer terminal lip to the end of outer tube. Mark the required cut length (A + 44 mm) around the circumference of the outer tube and cut following the mark to ensure it is cut square.
- Mark and cut the inner tube 10 mm longer than the outer tube ensure the cut is square.
- Remove all burrs on the inner and outer tube and place a light chamfer on the inner tube to aid with assembly.
SETTING TELESCOPIC FLUE
- Measure the required length (A + 44 mm)
- Pull flue apart until the desired length is achieved ensuring the stop mark is not visible.
- Ensure both flue seams are at the top and the flue outlet terminal is uppermost.
- Drill a 3.5 mm hole through the small and large outer tube using the pilot hole on the large outer tube.
- Secure large and small outer tube using the screws provided.
- Seal the joint on the out tube with the tape provided.
- Fit the internal and external wall seals.
FITTING THE FLUE THROUGH THE WALL (Internal Installation)
-
Measure the thickness of the wall.
-
To this measurement add 14 mm.
-
Make a mark on the flue shown as mark 1 (top right).
-
Make another mark on the flue a further 14 mm in shown as Mark 2 above right.
-
Fit the external wall seal (black) to the flue terminal ensuring it is fitted on the terminal outer lip seal.
-
Fit the inner wall seal approximately 65 mm prior to Mark 2.
-
Place the terminal end of the flue into the 127 mm core drilled centrally and slowly apply slight pressure and move the flue up or down or side to side. This will cause
the external wall seal to fold in and allow the flue to pass through the wall. -
When the inner wall seal is flush against the wall pull back the flue until Mark 1 is flush with the inner wall surface.
-
Hold the flue steady and push the inner wall seal towards the wall until Mark 2 is just visible.
FITTING THE FLUE THROUGH THE WALL
(External Installation)
- Follow steps 1 – 5 from above.
- Push the flue through the 127 mm core drilled hole from the outside
- Return inside the property and fit the inner wall seal to the flue.
- Pull the flue internally until Mark 1 is flush with the inner wall surface.
- Holding the flue in this position push the inner wall seal towards the wall until Mark 2 is just visible.
If Mark 1 is not flush with the inner wall surface and can be seen prior to
the wall surface, then the external wall seal will have been dislodged and
will require to be re-fitted. If this situation occurs, then please start the
process from the beginning.
On completion the flue will be correctly installed as below.
**IMPORTANT: Ensure no White flue is visible between the flue terminal
and the wall.
A video showing how to correctly measure and fit a flue can be found by
scanning the QR Code.**

2.14 ASSEMBLING THE VERTICAL FLUE
Determine the correct height that the flue should terminate above the roof. If
after calculating or measuring the overall flue height from the top of the
boiler, it is necessary to cut both pipes of assembly A, then ensure they are
cut equally leaving the inner flue tube longer than the outer air tube as
supplied.
Ensure the cut pipe ends are free from any burrs.
-
Position the roof flashing plate (supplied separately) over the hole cut in the roof and insert flue terminal from the roof end.
-
Fit the vertical connector (supplied in kit) in accordance with the instructions provided.
-
Secure the vertical connector by applying downward pressure on the connector.
-
Position the clamp on the top face of the flue manifold and push it horizontally backwards. Locate both clamp lugs into the flue manifold and secure to the flue manifold with the M5 retaining screw.
-
Push extension duct (if required (supplied separately)) into vertical connector.
Note. Ensure turret sample points are serviceable and all caps and plugs are fitted. Fill the condense trap/siphon with water. -
If the last extension duct requires cutting, measure ‘X’, the distance between the duct (outer) and the terminal, and add 100 mm to this dimension. This gives the length of the last extension duct. Note. Check the position of the inner flue duct relative to the outer duct on the assembled extension duct(s) and ensure the terminal flue duct is cut longer than the air duct to ensure engagement in the final flue duct seal.
-
Finally ensure the roof flashing plate is correctly sealed to the roof.
2.15 CONDENSATE DRAIN
This appliance is fitted with a symphonic 75 mm condensate trap system that
requires filling before operating the appliance for the 1st time or after
maintenance.
All condensate pipework should conform to the following:
a. Where a new or replacement boiler is being installed, access to an internal
‘gravity discharge’ termination should be one of the main factors considered
in determining boiler location.
b. Plastic with push fit or solvent connections.
c. Internal plastic pipe work a minimum of 19 mm ID (typically 22 mm OD).
d. External plastic pipe must be a minimum of 30 mm ID (typically 32 mm OD)
before it passes through the sleeved wall.
e. All horizontal pipe runs must fall a minimum of 52 mm per metre away from
the Boiler.
f. External & unheated pipework should be kept to a minimum and insulated with
Class “O” waterproof pipe insulation through freezing or otherwise.
g. All installations must be carried out in accordance to the relevant
connection methods as shown in the “Condensate installation diagrams” &
BS6798.
h. Pipework must be installed so that it does not allow spillage into the
dwelling in the event of a blockage (through freezing)
i. All internal burrs should be removed from the pipe work and any fittings.
In order to minimise the risk of freezing, terminate the condensate drainage
pipe using one of the following methods:
Internal Drain Connections
Route the condensate pipe by gravity to an internal, foul water discharge
point. Condensate Pump
When it is not practical to terminate the condensate pipe to an internal
foul water discharge point using gravity, use a suitable pump recommended by
the boiler or pump
manufacturer.
External Drain Connections
The use of an externally run condensate drainage pipe should only be
considered after exhausting all internal termination options as described
previously. An external system must terminate at a suitable foul water
discharge point or purpose designed soak away. If an external system is chosen
then the following measures must be adopted: The external pipe run should be
kept to a minimum using the most direct and “most vertical” route possible to
the discharge point, with no horizontal sections in which condensate might
collect.
- For connections to an external soil/vent stack. Insulation measures as described should be used.
- When a rainwater downpipe is used, an air break must be installed between the condensate drainage pipe and the downpipe to avoid reverse flow of rainwater into the boiler should the downpipe become flooded or frozen.
- Where the condensate drain pipe terminates in a purpose designed soak away (see BS 6798) any above ground condensate drain pipe sections should be run and insulated as described above.
- Where the condensate drain pipe terminates over an open foul drain or gully, the pipe should terminate below the grating level, but above water level, to minimise “wind chill” at the open end. The use of a drain cover (as used to prevent blockage by leaves) may offer further prevention from wind chill.
Unheated Internal Areas
Internal condensate drain pipes run in unheated areas, e.g. lofts basements
and garages, should be treated as external pipe.
Ensure the customer is aware of the effects created by a frozen condensate and
is shown where this information can be found in the user manual.
Note. Please check current HHIC condensate discharge guidance available
via the Gas Safe Registered Technical Bulletins List. Not Irish

PRV DRAIN
The PRV connection, located at the bottom left-hand side of the boiler,
comprises an open ended grommet.
IMPORTANT
The grommet is designed for 15 mm Ø copper pipe.
If possible, preassemble and solder the pipework before Installing.
If this is not possible the soldering must be more than 100 mm away from the
grommet. Make sure the grommet is not damaged by the heat.
Install the condensate pipe as follows:
-
Make sure that the 15 mm Ø copper pipe is cut perpendicular to the pipe.
-
Make sure that the pipe is not damaged, and clean and free from burs.
-
Using pliers put the clip over the grommet. Continue to hold the clip open.https://idealheating.com/logic-V4-literature-10
Note. Do not release the clip until step 5 (see below). -
Push the copper pipe into the grommet (minimum of 15 mm). Make sure that the pipe is parallel with the grommet.
-
Below the stop mark on the grommet open the pliers to release the clip.
-
Make sure that the clip and pipe are attached correctly.
-
Make sure that the PRV discharge pipe is correctly attached. Make sure that the angle of the pipe run is sufficient to remove discharged water.
WARNING:
Make sure that the water or steam (from the boiler) is discharged safely. Hot
water or steam is dangerous and can cause serious injury, and damage to
electrical systems.
A purpose made PRV drain pipe is provided with the boiler to allow safe discharge through a wall to the outside of the building. This is particularly relevant to ‘high rise’ installations but can be used for all installations.

Benchmark Commissioning & Warranty Validation Service Record
It is a requirement that the boiler is installed and commissioned to the
manufacturers’ instructions and the data fields on the commissioning checklist
completed in full.
To instigate the boiler warranty the boiler needs to be registered with the
manufacturer within one month of the installation. The warranty rests with the
end-user (consumer), and they should be made aware it is ultimately their
responsibility to register with the manufacturer, within the allotted time
period.
It is essential that the boiler is serviced in line with the manufacturers’
recommendations, at least annually. This must be carried out by a competent
Gas Safe registered engineer. The service details should be recorded on the
Benchmark Service and Interim Boiler Work Record and left with the
householder. Failure to comply with the manufacturers’ servicing instructions
and requirements will invalidate the warranty.
This Commissioning Checklist is to be completed in full by the competent
person who commissioned the boiler as a means of demonstrating compliance with
the appropriate Building Regulations and then handed to the customer to keep
for future reference.
Failure to install and commission according to the manufacturers’ instructions
and complete this Benchmark Commissioning Checklist will invalidate the
warranty. This does not affect the customer’s statutory rights.
- All installations in England and Wales must be notified to Local Authority Building Control (LABC) either directly or through a Competent Persons Scheme. A Building Regulations Compliance Certificate will then be issued to the customer.

Section 6 – Benchmark to Commissioning
Important Preliminary Information on Checks
The air gas ratio valve is factory-set and must not be adjusted DURING
COMMISSIONING.
If the boiler requires conversion to operate with a different gas family (e.g.
conversion from natural gas to LPG)
separate guidance is provided with the conversion kit supplied and this must
be followed.
PRIOR TO CO LEVEL AND COMBUSTION RATIO CHECK
The installation instructions must have been followed, gas type verified and
gas supply pressure / gas rate checked as required prior to commissioning.
As part of the installation process, ESPECIALLY WHERE A FLUE HAS BEEN FITTED
BY PERSONS OTHER THAN
THE BOILER INSTALLER, visually check the integrity of the whole flue system to
confirm that all components are correctly assembled, fixed and supported.
Check that maximum flue lengths have not been exceeded and all guidance has
been followed (e.g. Gas Safe Register Technical Bulletin (TB) 008 where
chimney/flues are in voids).
The ECGA should be of the correct type, as specified by BS EN 50379-3:2012.
Prior to its use, the ECGA should have been maintained and calibrated as
specified by the manufacturer. The installer must have the relevant competence
for use of the analyser. Check and zero the analyser IN FRESH AIR in
accordance with the analyser manufacturer’s instructions.

The Logic MAX Combi 2 is a combination boiler providing both central heating
and instantaneous domestic hot water. Featuring full sequence automatic
ignition and fan assisted combustion.
Due to the high efficiency of the boiler, condensate is produced from the flue
gases and this is drained to a suitable disposal point through a plastic waste
pipe at the base of the boiler. A condensate ‘plume’ will also be visible at
the flue terminal.
Safety Current Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations or rules in force.

TO START THE BOILER
Start the boiler as follows:
- Ensure that all hot water taps are turned off.
- Switch on electricity to the boiler and check that all external controls, e.g. programmer and room thermostat, are on.
- Press the Mode Button until Ready or On is shown underneath both the Tap and Radiator symbols.
- Turn the Domestic Hot water temperature knob (A) clockwise until a 65°C target temperature is shown. Turn the Central Heating temperature Knob (B) clockwise until an 80°C target temperature is shown.
The boiler will commence ignition sequence, supplying heat to the central heating, if required.
Note. In normal operation the boiler status display (D) will display messages.
Refer to Section
1.8
Boiler frost protection – boiler will fire if temperature is below 5ºC.
During normal operation the burner on symbol (E) will remain illuminated when
the burner is lit.
If the boiler fails to light after five attempts the following fault messages
will be displayed:
To restart the boiler, press ‘Restart’. The boiler will repeat the ignition
sequence. If the boiler still fails to light consult a Registered Gas
Installer.
OPERATION MODES
Winter Conditions – (Central Heating and Domestic Hot Water required)
Press the Mode Button until either Ready or On is shown under both the Tap and
Radiator symbols [ ].
The boiler will fire and supply heat to the radiators.
The domestic hot water preheat will operate with the preheat button set to
‘Preheat On’.
Summer Conditions – (Domestic Hot Water only required) Press the Mode button
until Ready or On is shown under the Tap symbol [ ] and Off is shown under the
Radiator symbol [ ]. OR Set the central heating demand on the external
controls to OFF.
The domestic hot water preheat will operate with the preheat button set to
‘Hot Water On’. Boiler Off
Set the mode button (C) to ‘BOILER OFF’. The boiler mains power supply must be
left on to enable frost protection (see Frost Protection).
PREHEAT – DOMESTIC HOT WATER
The domestic hot water heat exchanger within the boiler can be kept preheated
to provide faster delivery of hot water at the tap. This is achieved by
pressing the preheat button to ‘Preheat On’ or ‘Preheat Timed’.
The boiler will operate periodically for a few seconds to maintain the
domestic hot water heat exchanger in a preheated condition. The average time
period between operation is 90 minutes. This may vary considerably due to the
surrounding ambient temperature of the boiler. The boiler will operate
whenever there is a demand for domestic hot water. If standard hot water
delivery is satisfactory set the preheat to ‘Preheat Off’.
If Preheat is switched to Timed then preheating will only occur when required
rather than all the time. The boiler learns the usage patten for DHW over week
and then times the the DHW preheat to only operate during the usage periods
from the previous week.
This improves the speed of response for DHW whilst also reducing the use of
gas.
CONTROL OF WATER TEMPERATURE Domestic Hot Water The domestic hot water
temperature is limited by the boiler controls to a maximum temperature of 65
º C, adjustable via the domestic hot water temperature knob (A). At low DHW
draw off rates the maximum temperature may exceed 65ºC. Approximate
temperatures for domestic hot water:
Knob Setting | Hot Water Temperature (approx.) |
---|---|
Minimum | 40ºC |
Maximum | 65ºC |
Due to system variations and seasonal temperature fluctuations, domestic hot
water flow rates/temperature rise will vary, requiring adjustment at the tap :
the lower the flow rate the higher the temperature, and vice versa.
CENTRAL HEATING
The boiler controls the central heating radiator temperature to a maximum of
80
C, adjustable via the central heating temperature knob (B). o Approximate
temperatures for central heating:
Knob Setting | Hot Water Temperature (approx.) |
---|---|
Minimum | 30ºC |
Maximum | 80ºC |
For economy setting [ ] refer to Efficient Heating System Operation.
EFFICIENT HEATING SYSTEM OPERATION
The boiler is a high efficiency, condensing appliance which will automatically
adjust its output to match the demand for heat. Therefore gas consumption is
reduced as the heat demand is reduced.
The boiler condenses water from the flue gases when operating most
efficiently. To operate your boiler efficiently (using less gas) turn the
central heating knob (B) until the leaf symbol is shown [ ]. In winter periods
it may be necessary to turn the knob clockwise towards a higher temperature
e.g. 80, to meet your heating requirements. This will depend on the house and
radiators used.
Reducing the room thermostat setting by 1ºC can reduce gas consumption by up
to 10%.
WEATHER COMPENSATION
When the Weather Compensation option is fitted to the system then the
central heating temperature knob (B) becomes a method of controlling room
temperature. Turn the knob clockwise to increase room temperature and anti-
clockwise to decrease room temperature. Once the desired setting has been
achieved, leave the knob in this position and the system will automatically
achieve the desired room temperature for all outside weather conditions.
BOILER FROST PROTECTION
The boiler is fitted with frost protection that operates in all modes,
provided the power supply to the boiler is always turned on. If the water in
the boiler falls below 5ºC, the frost protection will activate and run the
boiler to avoid freezing. The process does not guarantee that all other parts
of the system will be protected.
If a system frost thermostat has been installed, the boiler must be set in
winter mode, [ ], for the system frost protection to run.
If no system frost protection is provided and frost is likely during a short
absence from home it is recommended to leave the system heating controls or
built in programmer (if fitted) switched on and running at a reduced
temperature setting. For longer periods, the entire system should be drained.
BOILER RESTART
To restart the boiler, when directed in the listed fault messages press the
“Restart” button. The boiler will repeat its ignition sequence. If the boiler
still fails to start consult a Gas Safe Registered Engineer.
MAINS POWER OFF
To remove all power to the boiler the mains power switch must be turned off.
1.3 SYSTEM WATER PRESSURE
The system pressure gauge which can be viewed by lowering the drop down door,
indicates the central heating system pressure. If the pressure is seen to fall
below the original installation pressure of 1-2 bar over a period of time and
continue to fall then a water leak may be indicated. In this event re-
pressurise the system as shown below. If unable to do so or if the pressure
continues to drop a Gas Safe Registered Engineer should be contacted.
THE BOILER WILL NOT OPERATE IF THE PRESSURE HAS REDUCED TO LESS THAN
0.3 BAR UNDER THIS CONDITION.
To Top up the system :1.
- Ensure both & handles (blue & green) are in closed position (as shown below)
- Remove the plug and cap and retain.
- Connect the filling loop to the Domestic Hot Water (DHW) inlet and tighten. Also ensure that the other end of filling loop is hand tight.
- Turn the Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Inlet blue handle to the horizontal position.
- Ensuring no leaks are seen, gradually turn the filling loop handle (green) B B to the horizontal position.
- Wait for the pressure gauge to reach 1 to 1.5 bar.
- Once pressure is reached turn valves & back to the closed position. B
- Disconnect the filling loop, replace cap and plug. There can be some water spillage at this point.

1.4 POINTS FOR THE BOILER USER
In line with our current warranty policy we would ask that you check through
the following guide to identify any problems external to the boiler prior to
requesting a service engineers visit. Should the problem be found to be other
than with the appliance we reserve the right to levy a charge for the visit,
or for any pre-arranged visit where access is not gained by the engineer. FOR
ANY QUERIES PLEASE RING THE IDEAL CONSUMER HELPLINE : 01482 498660 BOILER
RESTART PROCEDURE – To restart boiler press the restart button
1.5 FROZEN CONDENSATE DRAIN
This appliance is fitted with a siphonic condensate trap system that reduces
the risk of the appliance condensate from freezing. However should the
condensate pipe to this
appliance freeze, please follow these instructions: a. If you do not feel
competent to carry out the defrosting instructions below please call your
local Gas Safe
Registered installer for assistance.
b. If you do feel competent to carry out the following instructions please do
so with care when handling hot utensils. DO NOT attempt to thaw pipework above
ground level.
If this appliance develops a blockage in its condensate pipe, its condensate
will build up to a point where it will make a gurgling noise prior to locking
out displaying “Ignition Lockout” on the display. If the appliance is
restarted it will make a gurgling noise prior to it locking out displaying
“Ignition Lockout” on the display.
To unblock a frozen condensate pipe;
-
Follow the routing of the plastic pipe from its exit point on the appliance, through its route to its termination point.
Locate the frozen blockage. It is likely that the pipe is frozen at the most exposed point external to the building or where there is some obstruction to flow. This could be
at the open end of the pipe, at a bend or elbow, or where there is a dip in the pipe in which condensate can collect. The location of the blockage should be identified as closely as possible before taking further action. -
Apply a hot water bottle, microwaveable heat pack or a warm damp cloth to the frozen blockage area. Several applications may have to be made before it fully defrosts.
Warm water can also be poured onto the pipe from a watering can or similar. DO NOT use boiling water. -
Caution when using warm water as this may freeze and cause other localised hazards.
-
Once the blockage is removed and the condensate can flow freely, restart the appliance. (Refer to “To Start the boiler”)
-
If the appliance fails to ignite, call your Gas Safe Registered engineer.
Preventative Solutions
During cold weather, set the central heating temperature knob (B) to “MAX”, (Remember to return to original setting once cold spell is over).
Place the heating on continuous and turn the room thermostat down to 15ºC overnight or when unoccupied. (Return to normal after cold spell).
