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

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.
