Maintenance tips

• Appliances on a sealed heating system:
– Regularly check the system pressure.
• Do not obstruct the flue outlet or the air inlet.
• Use in hard water areas:
– In exceptionally hard water areas a device to prevent scale formation should be fitted. Installation of a salt based water softener should be in accordance with the requirements of the local water company. A bypass valve must be fitted and used to fill/top up the heating system with untreated water.

  Important note:
▶ If you have to add water regularly in your heating system, call a competent, qualified person.

2.4 Benchmark standard

    The Benchmark initiative is a code of practice to encourage the correct installation, commissioning and servicing of domestic central heating appliances and system equipment.

A “checklist” is dispatched with every appliance and can be found towards the back of the Installation, Commissioning and Servicing Instructions. This is a vital document that needs to be completed by the installer at the time of installation. It confirms that the appliance has been installed and commissioned according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The service record provides space for the recording of regular servicing of the appliance/heating system and this can become a valuable document when, for example, you wish to sell the property. The service record will show a potential purchaser that the heating system has received regular professional maintenance and servicing during its lifetime.

The Benchmark initiative aims to:

• Raise standards among professional installers.
• Build and maintain high safety standards in the industry.
• Improve customer satisfaction levels.
• Make a contribution to the nation’s commitment to climate change.

3. Prepare for operation

3.1 Sealed heating system
Appliances that can be connected to sealed heating systems are prepressurised before operation, this pressure must be maintained for safe use of the appliance.
▶ Check regularly that the pressure is maintained.
▶ Re-charge the system if the pressure indicator reads less than 0.8 bar.
▶ If a permanent significant decrease or increase in pressure is shown on the pressure indicator, contact your installer or maintenance engineer.

Pressure indicator
▶ Type of pressure indicator for the system pressure.
– Pressure gauge (an analogue dial showing the pressure)
– Pressure menu (a digital readout of the pressure)
▶ Your appliance may have one or both types of methods to indicate the system pressure. The type of method used on this appliance will be detailed in the following section.

3.1.1 Checking the system pressure
Your installer will advise you of the optimum operating pressure.
▶ Check the system pressure via HMI screen.
▶ Press the return button or ? or ? to see the system pressure.
▶ Adjust the system pressure between 1.3 and 1.7 bar.
▶ Press the return button for the main display.

3.1.2 Low pressure indication
Low pressure will be indicated on the appliance (LOPR):
▶ Adjust system pressure according to chapter 3.1.1, page 6.

3.1.3 Constantly re-pressurising the system
Constantly having to re-pressurise the heating system should be investigated as it is an indicator of potential leaks and the concentration of inhibitor protection in the system will be reduced; this can result in corrosion within the heating system, reducing efficiency and increasing contaminates.

▶ Check for leaks on heating system (pipework and radiator valves).
▶ Contact your installer or maintenance engineer if a recurring significant decrease or increase in pressure is shown on the pressure indicator (pressure gauge or pressure display).

System pressure increasing:
▶ If the system pressure repeatedly increases and you need to vent air from the radiators, refer to  section 3.2 “System Gassing”, page 7.

3.2 System Gassing

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

NOTICE
System fill method
▶ You must disconnect the external filling loop after re-pressurisation, to comply with the Water Authority regulations.

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

Refer to figure 3.
▶ Unscrew the blanking cap [1].
▶ Attach the hose [2] to the valve.
– Usually one end of the hose is already connected to one of the system fill isolation valves.
▶ Ensure both ends [3] of the hose are screwed on hand tight.
– The system fill isolation valves [4] are in a closed position (the handle/screwdriver slot is across the valve).
▶ Turn the handle/screwdriver slot through 90° to open valves and slowly fill the system to between 1 and 1.5bar.
– The system fill isolation valves [5] are opened (the handle/ screwdriver slot is in-line with the valve).
– The needle on the pressure gauge will start to rise.
▶ Turn the handles/screwdriver slots back, through 90°, to close the valves.
– The system fill isolation valves [6] are in a closed position (the handle/screwdriver slot is across the valve).
▶ Top up the system pressure, if as a result of the air bleeding the pressure drops off.
▶ Remove the hose [2] and replace the blanking cap [1].

If the pressure gauge reads more than 1.5 bar as a result of over filling:
▶ Bleed one radiator until the pressure gauge returns to between 1 and 1.5 bar.
▶ It is good practice to bleed any excess air that has entered the heating system due to pressure loss. Locate and open the radiator’s bleed/ vent point, closing the valve when water begins to flow.
▶ If, through normal boiler operation, the PRV pipe starts to leak, it could be a sign of system pressure being too high. In this instance please bleed a radiator as described above.

WARNING
Risk of damage to the system from corrosion!
If the pressure in your heating system is repeatedly rising and you are repeatedly venting radiators, this can indicate that there is corrosion occurring within the heating system.

To prevent serious damage to the entire system:
▶ Contact a heating engineer.

Failure to properly maintain the heating system may affect your warranty.
System pressure can be checked via the boiler’s pressure gauge/reading when the system is cold, ensuring the reading is in the green zone at all times.

CAUTION
Caution must be exercised when venting radiators or re-pressurising/ topping up the heating system:
▶ Do not vent air from radiators whilst the central heating is switched on.
▶ Allow 30 minutes after venting the radiators before using central heating or hot water.
▶ Whilst venting radiators, do not allow the pressure to drop below the green zone on the boiler’s pressure gauge/reading.

If symptoms persist:
▶ Do not repeatedly vent your radiators.
▶ Contact a heating engineer.

7.2 Extreme cold weather
In certain instances where the condensate pipework is run externally or in an unheated area, such as a garage, the condensate pipework can be at risk of freezing, even if well insulated.
A frozen/blocked condensate pipe will cause the boiler to shut down.
Worcester, Bosch Group have available helpful videos on thawing frozen condensate pipe work on our website in the Customer Service section.

WARNING
Falling hazard!
Failure to follow this guidance may result in personal injury.
▶ Only attempt to thaw a condensate pipe that is at ground level and easily accessible.
▶ Never attempt to thaw a condensate pipe that is at height.

CAUTION
Risk of damage to pipe work!
Thermal shock from boiling water can damage plastic pipes.
▶ DO NOT use boiling water to thaw the condensate pipe!

CAUTION
Slip hazard
▶ Ensure that the subsequent freezing of any water does not result in a slip hazard.

If the condensate pipe has frozen:
▶ Locate the blockage.
– It is likely that the pipe is frozen at the most exposed point outside the building or where there is an obstruction to flow. This could be the open end of the pipe, at a bend or elbow, or where there is a sag in the pipe in which condensate can collect.
– The location of the blockage should be identified as closely as possible before taking further action.
▶ Thaw the frozen pipe.
– The pipe can be thawed by applying a hot water bottle, a microwaveable heating pack (the sort used for muscular aches and pains) or a cloth soaked in hot water to the exterior of the pipe, close to the point of blockage.
– Hot water, but not boiling, can also be poured onto the pipe from a watering can or similar container.
– Care must be taken at pedestrian areas where this water may freeze and create a slip hazard.
▶ Worcester, Bosch Group have available on our website helpful videos in the Customer Service section to aid in thawing a frozen pipe.
▶ Reset the appliance and wait two or three minutes for the appliance to restart.
▶ Contact Worcester, Bosch Group Appointments Team on: 0330 123 9339, if the boiler does not restart.

9. Tips on energy saving

Quick Tap function
▶ Fully open your hot water tap for at least 3 seconds. This ignites the boiler.
▶ Turn hot water tap to fully closed.
▶ Wait up to 30 seconds1) as the boiler continues to prepare hot water.
▶ Open your hot water tap; hot water is available2)

On average, 3.5 litres of water can be saved when using the Quick Tap function.

Water saving varies depending on user behaviour, pipework design and the time of year, for example, if Central Heating is on during the winter, DHW will heat up quicker than in the summer, reducing the potential for water saving. Savings are calculated based on average mains water pressure, a heat-up time of 30 seconds and close proximity of the tap to the boiler.

Heating economically
The appliance provides a high level of comfort whilst keeping fuel consumption and the environment effects as low as possible.

The appliance is controlled in such a way that it delivers heat at the correct rate and only if there is a clear demand from the system. Central heating systems with thermostatic radiator valves With modern heating systems set around a 20 °C heat loss, the optimum setting for a condensing boiler will be approximately 65 °C for the central heating temperature. This is to ensure a return temperature of less than 52 °C.
The system must be balanced correctly and the radiators may need upgrading. This allows the boiler to condense as much as possible for the central heating system.
The temperature of each room can be set individually (except primary room with the room thermostat) using the thermostatic radiator valves.

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 if necessary with the latest equipment available.

Roof insulation
Around 30% of the heat loss from a property is through the roof. Replace any old insulation with new insulation, preferably of around 200mm thickness or more.

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.

1. If the hot water reaches the set temperature before 30 seconds has elapsed, the boiler will stop firing
2. Hot water is available at the boiler. Delivery time to the tap will vary on the pipework design and tap distance from the boiler

Radiators
If a radiator is sited underneath a window, its performance will be affected if the curtains are allowed to drape over the radiator. Shelves fitted above or in front of the radiator should also be avoided.

It is advisable to manually adjust all thermostatic radiator valves every 2‒3 months to prevent them sticking. Ensure radiator valves are correctly set and not damaged.

Draughts
Try to ensure that draughts around doors, windows, letter boxes and keyholes etc. are reduced by using a suitable draught excluder.

WARNING
Air vents!
