GENERAL
INFORMATION
GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE)
REGULATIONS 1998
It is the law, in GB, that all gas appliances must be installed by a
competent person in accordance with the above regulations. Failure
to install appliances correctly could lead to prosecution. It is in your
interest and that of safety to ensure compliance with the law. The
manufacturer’s notes must not be taken, in any way, as over-riding
statutory obligations.
In GB, a competent person is someone registered with CORGI.
All CORGI registered installers carry a CORGI ID card and have a regis-
tration number. Both should be recorded in the BENCHMARK check-
list. You can check that your installer is CORGI registered by calling
CORGI on 01256 372300.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed and protected by a
3 amp fuse.
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY: 230V ~ 50Hz
IMPORTANT: To get the best from your Worcester system boiler
please read these instructions carefully.
In the event of a fault the appliance should not be used until the
fault has been corrected by a competent person.
BENCHMARK
The Benchmark initiative is a code of practice to encourage
the correct installation, commissioning and servicing of domestic cen-
tral heating boilers and system equipment.
A checklist can be found in the back of every installation
manual. This is a vital document that needs to be completed by the
installer at the time of installation. It confirms that the boiler has
been installed and commissioned according to the manufacturers
instructions.
In Eire the declaration found in IS 813 must be complet-
ed. Without completion of the checklist and/or declaration, manufac-
turers may refuse to respond to a call-out request. It is important that
the checklist and/or declaration are fully completed by your installer.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
(See Fig.1.)
The WORCESTER system boilers are sealed system central heat-
ing aplliances. They consist of a gas fired boiler having a varying out-
put of between 6 - 15kW (15SBi) and 15 - 24kW (24SBi), a circulating
pump and all necessary controls to provide central heating.
They can be connected to a domestic hot water supply system
through an optional, internally fitted diverter valve or to an external
S or Y plan system.
Central Heating

Central Heating
When a demand is made for heating by the system con-
trols (i.e. a programmer or room thermostat). The pump will energise
circulating primary water around the heating system and the burner
will light. The heat output from the appliance in this mode has been
factory set to mid-range or as reset by your installer. The appliance
will operate as necessary
to maintain the tempera-
ture of the radiators at
the level set by the adjust-
ment of the Heating
Temperature Control
Knob. (See Fig. 2.)
If the system no
longer requires output to
maintain the desired
room temperature, the
burner will extinguish.
The pump will continue
to run for a short period
to dissipate the residual
heat from the appliance
and then switch off.
The appliance will
supply heat to the central
heating system as
required.

CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM
During the first few hours of operation of the central heating
system, check that all radiators are being heated at an even rate.
Should the upper area of a radiator be at a lower temperature than
the base of the radiator, it should be vented by releasing air through
the venting screw at the top of each radiator. Make sure your installer
shows you how to carry out the operation. Repeated venting will
reduce the quantity of water in the system and this must be replen-
ished for safe and satisfactory operation of the appliance. Should
water leaks be found in the system or excessive venting be required
from any radiator, a service engineer should be contacted and the sys-
tem corrected.
SEALED HEATING SYSTEM
The appliance must be fitted to a sealed heating
system which is pre-pressurised. In this case your
installer will advise you on the minimum and maximum
pressure that should be indicated on the pressure gauge.
See Fig. 3. Check regularly that this pressure is main-
tained and contact your installer or maintenance engi-
neer if there is a permanent significant drop in pressure
indicated on the gauge. If the system loses pressure it
should be re-pressurised as instructed by the installer
(N.B. Maximum operating pressure 2.5 bar).
Pressurising The System (See Fig. 2).
(If in doubt leave this procedure to your installer).
Remove the bottom panel to gain access to the fill-
ing loop assembly.
Insert the bayonet end of the filling key into the
corresponding cut outs in the filling loop housing and
twist to lock the key in place.
Turn the grey knob anti-clockwise to allow water
ingress and fill until the required pressure is reached.
Turn the grey knob clockwise to stop filling and
remove the filling key by lining up the bayonet end of
the key with the cut outs in the filling loop housing and
withdrawing the key.
N.B. The key must always be removed from the
filling loop housing after the system has been filled to
prevent accidental filling and to comply with Byelaw
14 of the Water Byelaws Scheme.
Store the key in a safe place for future use and
refit the bottom panel

CLEARANCES
Your installer will
have provided adequate
space around the appliance
for safety and servicing. Do
not restrict this space by
the addition of cupboards,
shelves etc. close to the
appliance.
Minimum clearances in millimetres.
ROOM THERMOSTAT
A room thermostat may be fitted for control of the central heat-
ing temperature. It will be located in one room of the home. The
method of setting a room thermostat varies with the type and manu-
facture. Refer to the instructions supplied with the room thermostat.
THERMOSTATIC RADIATOR VALVES
If thermostatic radiator valves are fitted to the system then they
must conform to the requirements of BS2767. The radiator located in
the room where the room thermostat is sited must be controlled by a
thermostatic radiator valve.
VENTILATION OF ROOM SEALED FANNED
FLUE (RSF) APPLIANCES
These are room sealed appliances and any ventilation openings
in a wall or door must not be obstructed. Do not allow the flue termi-
nal fitted on the outside wall to become obstructed or damaged.
NOTE: Do not place anything on top of the appliance. If the
appliance is fitted in a compartment do not use the compartment for
storage purposes unless it conforms to the requirements of
BS 6798:1987: Section 6. It is essential that the airing space is separat-
ed from the boiler space by a perforated non-combustible partition as
described in BS 6798:1987.
CIRCULATING PUMP
This may be fitted with a speed adjuster. If so it will be factory
set at maximum and should be adjusted by the installer to suit the
heating load.
