  • Turn the room thermostat to the temperature required.
  • Set the thermostatic radiator valves to achieve the required temperature for each room.

Turning the central heating off during the summer

  • Turn your programmer/timer to the off position.
  • Please refer to the programmer/timer manufacturer’s instructions.

Setting the hot water temperature
The hot water temperature control knob sets the temperature of the heat store. A high setting will give a higher hot water temperature and greater quantities of hot water.

  1. Turn the hot water temperature control knob to the desired level between 1 and 8, this will be shown on the digital display.
  2. The tap symbol will be displayed to confirm that the hot water setting is being changed.
  3. The value is displayed during this process, press ok to exit or after five seconds of inactivity the boiler display will return to the default screen.WORCESTER-GREENSTAR-HEATSLAVE-II-Floor-Standing-Oil-Fired-Combi-Boiler- \(7\)

Domestic hot water (DHW)
The GREENSTAR HEATSLAVE II is microprocessor controlled and at low DHW flow rates (washing hands etc), the burner will not fire up immediately when the tap is opened as the heat store will meet the demand, but at high flow rates (filling a bath for example) the burner will fire up to boost the heat store and meet the demand.
If DHW is OFF on the programmer, the appliance will still supply DHW using heat stored in the tank, but it will not reheat the tank, therefore the amount of water available is limited but is adequate for washing up, filling basins etc.
We recommend that DHW is timed off overnight and when the home is unoccupied to save energy. The timer should be set for at least half an hour before normal hot water demands are expected to reheat the heat store.
When reheating the heat store the controls will reclaim heat from the boiler for the tank, this means that the pump will run (and the blue light will be on) for some time after the burner has turned off whilst heat reclaiming takes place.

WARNING: Scalding hazard
Care should be taken when using slow running taps and showers.

  • In some circumstances, the combination of low water flow rate and high setting of the hot water control thermostat can result in very hot water.

Eco mode
Domestic hot water eco mode
Eco mode is an energy saving feature which alters the cycling function of the burner for heating the heat store tank. In normal operation the burner will fire more frequently between demands in order to maintain a stored temperature close to the hot water set point you have entered. In Eco mode, the burner fires less frequently between demands meaning that the heat store temperature is maintained at a lower average level, but the tank set point remains the same.
By selecting Eco mode you will be using less energy as the tank is allowed to cool a little more before reheating to the set point.

Selecting eco mode

  1. Press and hold for at least four seconds to enter the  energy saving Eco mode, when Eco mode is active, “Eco” will be displayed.WORCESTER-GREENSTAR-HEATSLAVE-II-Floor-Standing-Oil-Fired-Combi-Boiler- \(9\)

Exit eco mode

To exit ECO mode, press and hold for at least four  seconds, “Eco” will disappear.

Frost protection

  • The boiler has built in frost protection to protect the boiler, the boiler must have power for this to operate.
  • If you are leaving the property unoccupied during cold weather, please leave your programmer on constant and your room thermostat set to 15°C.
  • If the temperature within the boiler falls below 8°C the pump will run to circulate water and prevent the system freezing.
  • If the temperature within the boiler falls below 4.5°C the boiler will fire immediately, bringing the boiler temperature up to 12°C to avoid the possibility of the system freezing.
  • This process will be repeated until such time that the boiler temperature does not drop below 4.5°C.

System pressure
This boiler is fitted to a sealed heating system which is pre-pressurised. Your installer will advise you of the minimum and maximum pressure indicated on the pressure gauge.

Check regularly that the pressure is maintained.WORCESTER-GREENSTAR-
HEATSLAVE-II-Floor-Standing-Oil-Fired-Combi-Boiler-
\(10\)

Optimum system pressure when your boiler is cold (area A) and the pump is off. The indicated pressure will change as the pump switches on, for more accurate readings check pressure when the pump is not running.

  • If the pressure gauge reads less than 1 bar then the system requires re-charging.
    • Check for leaks on heating system (pipe work and radiator valves).
  • Contact your installer or maintenance engineer if a permanent significant decrease or increase in pressure is indicated on the pressure gauge.
    • Constantly having to re-pressuring the heating system should be investigated as the concentration of inhibitor in the system will be reduced; this can result in corrosion within the heating system

Filling loop
If the sealed system pressure within your system drops to below 0.5 bar (shown on the pressure gauge) you will need to increase the pressure to ensure your boiler continues to run without problems.

Your installer should have informed you where to find the filling system and instructed you in its use.

Once the external filling loop has been located, follow the instructions for re-pressurising the system.

  1. Unscrew blanking cap.
  2. Attach the hose to the valves, screw on hand-tight.
  3. Turn the handle/screwdriver slot through 90° to open valves.
  4. The handle/screwdriver slot will be in line with the valves.
  5. When the pressure reaches between the 1 and 1.5 bar marks (zone A), turn the handles/screwdriver slots back, through 90°, to close the valves.
  6. The handle/screwdriver slot will be at 90° to the valves.
  7. Remove the hose and replace the blanking caps.

WARNING
Caution must be exercised when venting radiators or adjusting system pressure after commission of your boiler.
Do not repeatedly vent your radiators, if the problem persists, contact a heating engineer.

  • Do not vent air from radiators whilst the central heating is switched on: turn your boiler off.
  • Whilst venting radiators do not allow the pressure on the boiler to drop below the pressure at which it is normally set.

CAUTION
If the pressure in your heating system is repeatedly rising (this can be checked via the boiler pressure gauge and should be checked when the system is cold), and especially if you need to keep venting the radiators, urgent action is required and you must contact a heating engineer. This can indicate that there is corrosion occurring within the heating system.

  • This must be properly addressed to prevent serious damage to the entire system.
  • Failure to properly maintain the heating system may affect your warranty.

General notes
To get the best from your boiler. please read these instructions carefully.

Central heating systems
During the first few hours of operation of the central heating system, check that all radiators are being heated at an even rate. If the top of a radiator is at a lower temperature than the bottom then it should be vented by releasing air through the venting screw at the top of the radiator. Ask your installer to show you how this is done. Repeated venting will reduce the quantity of water in the system and this must be replenished for safe and satisfactory operation of the boiler.
When excessive venting or water leaks are found in the system you must contact a service engineer to inspect the installation and rectify any fault.
Only use additives compatible with the boiler and system. Use of incompatible additives can cause damage and will invalidate the boiler guarantee.
Condensate drain
This is a condensing boiler and the terminal will, at times give out a plume of water vapour. This is quite normal.
The boiler also produces quantities of condensate which is discharged regularly via a pipe to disposal point. This pipe must not be blocked or altered in any way.
Clearances – Service
Your installer will have provided adequate space around the boiler for safety and servicing access.
Do not restrict this space with the addition of trellises, fences etc. next to the boiler.
Room thermostat
A room temperature controller must be fitted to control the central heating. Refer to instructions supplied with the thermostat for information on siting and setting.
Thermostatic radiator valves
It is recommended that this type of valve is fitted to all but one of the radiators (or at least those in the sleeping accommodation). The remaining radiator, which must be where the room thermostat is located, should be un- controlled and must be left open.

Energy saving

Tips on energy saving

Room thermostats
Reducing the setting of the room thermostat by 1°C can reduce fuel consumption by up to 10%.
New control systems
Upgrade your heating control system with the latest equipment available. The minimum level of control for a heating system is a programmer, interlocking room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves.
Radiators
More often than not radiators will be sited underneath a window, so the warm air from the radiator heats the colder incoming air from the window.
The performance of the radiator will be affected if the curtains are allowed to drape over the radiator or shelves are fitted above it.
The positioning of furniture and tables in front of the radiator should also be avoided.
It is advisable to manually adjust all radiator valves every 2-3 months to prevent them from sticking. It is also important that the plastic tops of all valves are always in position and not cracked or damaged to help prevent accidents. Care should be taken when vacuum cleaning carpets to avoid damage to valves and pipework.
The heating system and the outputs of the radiators have been carefully selected by your installer. The temperature obtainable in any given room is dependent on all radiators being operated at the same time. If you decide to turn off radiators in unused rooms, spare bedrooms etc., you may experience slightly lower room temperatures in rooms adjacent to unheated rooms.

Heating economically
The boiler is designed to provide a high level of comfort while keeping oil consumption and the resulting environmental effect as low as possible.
The central heating control on the boiler should be set as low as possible while still maintaining a comfortable room temperature.
The temperature of each room can be set individually using the thermostatic radiator valves (except the primary room with the room thermostat).

Roof insulation
Around 30% of the heat loss from a property is through the roof. Replace any old insulation with new insulation, preferably to a minimum thickness of 200mm.
Window frames
Single glazed windows, particularly those with steel frames, can lose a great deal of heat.
Consideration should be given to replacement with PVCu or wooden framed double glazed units.
Curtains
Lined curtains, or heavier full length curtains can provide excellent insulation. However, always ensure that the curtains do not drape over radiators.
Draughts
Try to ensure that draughts around doors, windows, letterboxes and keyholes etc., are reduced by using a suitable draught excluder.

WARNING
Do not block or seal any air vents that are installed to ensure the central heating boiler (or other appliance) operate safely.
