INTRODUCTION

The Logic MAX Combi2 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.

TO START THE BOILER
Start the boiler as follows:

1. Ensure that all hot water taps are turned off.
2. Switch on electricity to the boiler and check that all external controls, e.g. programmer and room thermostat, are on.
3. Press the Mode Button until Ready or On is shown underneath both the Tap and Radiator symbols.
4. 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. 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 bar 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 preheated to provide faster delivery of hot water at the tap.
The boiler is factory set with the preheat turned off to give standard hot water delivery and reduce gas usage.
If required, the preheat can be switched on for faster domestic hot water delivery. It can be turned to either ‘On’ or ‘Timed’.
With preheat turned On, the boiler will operate periodically to maintain the domestic hot water heat exchanger in a preheated condition at all times.
If ‘Timed’ is selected then the intelligent preheat function is active which learns the usage patten for domestic hot water over 7 days. It then fires the boiler to maintain the temperature of the domestic hot water heat in the boiler, as required to meet the predicted hot water draw-off. This improves the speed of response for DHW whilst minimising 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 65ºC, 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:

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 80oC, adjustable via the central heating temperature knob (B).
Approximate temperatures for central heating:

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.

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.

1. Ensure A & B both & handles (blue & green) are in closed position (as shown below)
2. Remove the plug and cap and retain.
3. 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.
4. Turn the Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Inlet A blue handle to the horizontal position.
5. Ensuring no leaks are seen, gradually turn the filling loop handle (green) B to the horizontal position.
6. Wait for the pressure gauge to reach 1 to 1.5 bar.
7. Once pressure is reached turn valves A & B back to the closed position.
8. Disconnect the filling loop, replace cap and plug. There can be some water spillage at this point.

BOILER RESTART PROCEDURE – To restart boiler press the restart button

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;

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Caution when using warm water as this may freeze and cause other localised hazards.

4. Once the blockage is removed and the condensate can flow freely, restart the appliance. (Refer to “To Start the boiler”)

5. 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).
