Quick Reference Guide

Central Heating Indicator – The indicator will illuminate when the boiler is in the central heating mode.

Domestic Hot Water Indicator – The indicator will illuminate when hot water is being supplied to a tap or shower.

Burner On Indicator – The indicator will illuminate when the burner has fired and is heating your central heating or domestic hot water.

Boiler Output Temperature – In either the central heating or domestic hot water position the display will illuminate showing the current boiler temperature in degrees centigrade.

Central Heating Temperature Control
Turn the knob clockwise to increase or anticlockwise to decrease the temperature. Range 25 – 80° C.

Domestic Hot Water Temperature Control
Turn the knob clockwise to increase or anticlockwise to decrease the temperature.

Central Heating System Pressure – The normal operating water pressure is between 1 and 2.0 bar. If the pressure exceeds 3 bar the safety pressure valve will operate and a fault is indicated. Contact your Installer. If there is insufficient pressure Error Code E119 will be displayed.

Troubleshooting

If you don’t know what you need to do to get the boiler to light, or need help with the system and controls, contact your installer as soon as possible.

Repressurising System

Central Heating System Pressure

1. The water pressure in the central heating system is indicated by the pressure gauge

2. With the system cold and the boiler not operating the pressure should be at least 0.5 bar. During operation the pressure should not exceed 2.5 bar, and will normally be between 1.0 and 2.0 (Fig. 1).

3. A pressure of 3 or greater indicates a fault. The safety pressure relief valve will operate, at a pressure of 3 (Fig. 3). It is important that your Installer or Service Engineer is contacted as soon as possible.
   

4. The minimum pressure for correct operation is 0.5. If the pressure falls below 0.5, this may indicate a leak on the central heating system (Fig. 2). Error Code E119 will be shown on the display

To Re-Pressurise the System using the “Easy-Fill” Permanent Filling Link

1. It may be necessary to repressurise the system occasionally (when the water pressure falls below 0.5 bar).
2. If the water pressure requires regular re-pressurising a fault or leak is indicated (see section 3.1). Seek advice from your installer.
3. Where used the “Easy-Fill” link supplied with the boiler is fitted to the heating return tap and cold mains inlet.
4. Look underneath the right hand side of the boiler to identify and locate the “Easy-Fill” link (Fig. 3a).
5. Hold the spring loaded green lever in the open position until the correct pressure (between 1 & 2 bar) is registered on the gauge (Fig. 3b). Release the lever.

To Re-Pressurise the System using other methods

1. If the “Easy-Fill” permanent filling link has not been fitted (for example where the boiler is installed in a loft or similar) an alternative device will have been used.
2. This device will have been positioned at a suitable point on the system by your installer.
3. Please contact your installer directly if you are unsure of the position of the device and how it operates.
4. Depending upon the property in which they are installed heating systems differ greatly in detail – where the “Easy-Fill” link has NOT been fitted Baxi will be unable to advise how to re-pressurise.

Clearances

For your Safety

NOTE: Only qualified persons are authorised to assemble, install and maintain the installation.

1. This appliance must have been installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and the regulations in force.

2. Any modification that may interfere with the normal operation of the appliance without express written permission from the manufacturer or his agent could invalidate the appliance warranty. In GB this could also infringe the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations.
   GB – Heating Industry definition meaning England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and the Channel Isles

3. Your boiler must not be operated without the casing correctly fitted.

4. Do not interfere with any sealed components on this boiler.

5. Take note of any warning labels on your boiler.

6. Your boiler should have the following minimum clearances for Safety and Maintenance (Figs. 4 & 5):-

Top – 200mm
Bottom – 150mm
Left side – 5mm
Right Side – 5mm
Front – 5mm (In Operation)
– 450mm (For Servicing)
This is the MINIMUM recommended dimension. Greater clearance than this will aid installation and maintenance. 7. If your boiler is installed in a compartment, do not use it for storage purposes. Do not obstruct any purpose provided ventilation openings. 8. Flammable materials must not be stored in close proximity to your boiler. 9. Avoid skin contact when your boiler is in operation, as some surfaces may get hot e.g. pipework. 10. Ensure that the flue terminal, outside the house, does not become damaged or obstructed, particularly by foliage. 11. It is important that the condensate drain system is not blocked, modified or damaged in any way as this would affect the operation of your boiler. Your installer should have insulated any exposed pipework.

Care of the Boiler

Cleaning the Outer case

The painted panels should be wiped with a damp cloth and then dried completely. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANING AGENTS.

Protection & Precaution

1. The boiler incorporates an integral frost protection feature that will operate in both modes. If the boiler temperature falls below 5° C, then the boiler will operate until the water temperature has been raised.
2. If a system frost thermostat has been fitted (your installer will be able to advise you), then to operate correctly and protect your system, the gas and electricity must be left on and the appliance set in the central heating mode.
3. The boiler incorporates an integral pump protection feature which continually monitors the time since the pump last operated. To prevent seizure, the pump will operate for approximately 1 minute if it has not run in the last 24 hours.

Fault Indication

1. If a fault occurs on the boiler an error code may be shown on the facia display.
2. The codes are either two or three digit, preceded by the letter ‘E’. For example, code E133 will be displayed by ‘E1′ alternating with ’33’. E50 is shown as ‘E’ then ’50’.
3. E20, E28, E50, E125 & E160 indicate faulty components. You should make a note of the displayed error code and contact your installer or service engineer. E28 may also indicate a blocked flue or condensate drain.
4. If E110 or E130 is displayed overheat of the primary water or flue system has occurred. Turn the selector switch to the reset position and hold for at least 5 seconds. If the boiler does not relight, or the code is displayed regularly contact your installer or service engineer.
5. E119 is displayed when the primary water pressure is less than 0.5 bar. After repressurising the system the boiler should operate. Your installer will be able to advise you about the method of repressurising. See page 6 for further details.
6. E133 indicates that the gas supply has been interrupted, ignition has failed or the flame has not been detected. Ensure that the gas supply has not been turned off, and turn the selector switch to the reset position and hold for at least 5 seconds. If the boiler does not relight, or the code is displayed regularly contact your installer or service engineer.
