2.0 Introduction

2.1 Introduction

1. Your Potterton Performa System is a gas

fired, room sealed, powered flue boiler, providing

central heating and hot water for your home. It is

fully automatic and does not have a pilot light.

2.2 Facia Panel

1. The facia panel is behind the hinged lower

door. As well as the On/Off/Reset selector

switch, central heating temperature control knob

and pressure gauge, the facia incorporates ten

neon indicator lights.

2. Neons 10 to 13 indicate the operational status

of the boiler. Neons 4 to 9 have a dual function,

indicating the temperature of the central heating

water when constantly illuminated. If a fault

develops the appropriate neon will begin to

flash. Refer to Sections 3.3 to 3.7.

3.0 Operating the Boiler

3.1 Operating the Boiler

1. Ensure that the electricity and gas supplies are

turned on. Check that the central heating pressure

is between 0.2 and 1.0 bar (Fig. 4).

2. Turn the On/Off/Reset selector switch either

anti-clockwise from the off position (Fig. 6) to both

central heating and hot water or clockwise to

domestic hot water only.

3. In either position the green power on indicator

( ) will illuminate (Fig. 5).

4. Position (i) In this position the boiler will

provide central heating or domestic hot water

according to demand (Fig. 7). The central heating

( ) or hot water neon ( ) will illuminate (Fig. 5).

Neons 4 to 9 will illuminate as the temperature

rises.

5. Position (ii) In this position the domestic hot

water will be heated as demanded (Fig. 8). The

hot water neon will illuminate ( ). The central

heating will not operate even if timers, room

thermostat etc. are calling for heat.

6. Depending upon the system, domestic hot

water may be given priority when the selector

switch is in Position (i).

7. The boiler will light automatically on demand.

8. The orange burner on neon ( ) will illuminate

when the boiler is operating and the main burner is

on (Fig. 5).

IMPORTANT: When the selector switch is in

the ‘0’(Off) position the electrical supply to the

boiler is isolated. The boiler will not operate.

3.2 Temperature Control

1. The water flow temperature can be adjusted

between 30°C (± 5°C) minimum and 85°C

(± 5°C) maximum.

2. Turn the control knob clockwise to increase the

temperature (Fig. 9).

3. In normal winter usage we recommend that the

temperature be set at maximum.

3.3 Flame Failure Reset

1. The red flame failure neon ( ) will illuminate in

the event of the burner failing to light, or when

incomplete lighting of the burner occurs (Fig. 10).

2. Turn the selector switch fully anti-clockwise

against the spring pressure to the reset position

(R) and release (Fig. 11). Set the selector to the

required position to light the boiler.

3. If the flame failure light illuminates repeatedly a

fault is indicated. Your Service Engineer should

be contacted as soon as possible.

3.4 Air Flow Monitor

1. The boiler is fitted with an air pressure sensing

device. This monitors the flue system.

2. If the ( ) neon illuminates it indicates that

the flue or flue terminal is blocked or obstructed in

some way, or that there is an internal fault. If there

is no external blockage of the flue terminal that

can be easily removed contact your Service

Engineer (Fig. 12).

3.5 Pump Fault or Low Pressure

1. The neon ( ) will illuminate if the circulating

pump is faulty or the system pressure drops

below the minimum requirement (Fig. 12).

2. Check the pressure gauge as described in

Section 3.9. If the pressure is in the normal range,

a pump fault is indicated. Contact your Service

Engineer to determine the nature of the fault.

3.6 Sensor Fault

1. When the ( ) or ( ) neon is illuminated a

fault on the central heating or hot water

temperature sensor is indicated (Fig. 11). Contact

your Service Engineer.

3.7 Pump Protection

1. With the selector switch in either Position (i) or

Position (ii) (Figs. 13 & 14) the pump will

automatically operate for 1 minute in every 24

hours to prevent sticking.

3.8 Safety Thermostat

1. Your Potterton Performa System is fitted with

an additional safety device, which shuts down the

boiler in the event of the system or the boiler

overheating. The safety thermostat neon ( ) will

light in this instance (Fig. 12).

2. To reset: Turn the selector fully anti-clockwise

against the spring pressure to the reset position

(R) and release (Fig. 13).

3. If the safety thermostat operates repeatedly,

causing boiler shutdown, a fault is indicated. Your

Service Engineer should be contacted as soon as

possible.

3.0 Operating the Boiler

3.9 Central Heating System Pressure

1. The water pressure in the central heating

system is indicated by the pressure gauge.

2. With the system cold and the boiler not

operating the pressure should be between 0.2

and 1.0 bar. During operation the pressure

should not exceed 2.5 bar, and will normally be

between 1.0 and 2.0 (Figs. 14 & 15).

3. A pressure of 3 or greater indicates a fault.

The safety pressure relief valve will operate, at a

pressure of 3 (Fig. 16). It is important that your

Service Engineer is contacted as soon as

possible.

4. The minimum pressure for correct operation is

0.2. If the pressure falls below 0.2, this may

indicate a leak on the central heating system

(Fig. 17).

5. The system must be re-pressurised by your

Service Engineer.

3.10 To Shut Off the Boiler

1. For short periods: Turn the selector switch to

the Off position (Fig. 18).

2. For long periods: Turn off the selector switch

(Fig.18), electricity and gas supplies.

If your home is to be left unoccupied for long

periods during cold weather the boiler and

whole system should be drained unless there

is additional frost protection.

3. Your installer will advise you about frost

protection and draining the system.

IMPORTANT: When the selector switch is in

the ‘0’(Off) position the electrical supply to the

boiler is isolated. The boiler will not operate.

3.11 Frost Protection Mode

1. The frost protection feature will operate when

the selector switch is in Position (i).

The gas and electrical supplies to the boiler must

be on and then system pressure be within the

range described in Section 3.9.

2. If the system temperature falls below 5°C, then

the boiler will fire until the water temperature has

been raised.

3. Further frost protection can be incorporated by

using a frost thermostat to protect the whole

system.

4.0 Clearances and Check List

4.1 Clearances around the Boiler

(Figs. 19 & 20)

1. The minimum clear spaces needed around

the boiler measured from the casing are as

follows:

Top - 200mm

Bottom - 200mm

Both sides - 5mm

Front - 5mm (In Operation)

- 450mm (For Servicing)

2. These areas must not be obstructed in any

way. Blocking the clearance spaces may

result in the boiler overheating and damage

may occur.

3. The gas burning compartment of your boiler is

completely sealed from the room in which it is

fitted. Products from the combustion of gas are

vented to the outside through the flue terminal

which must be kept free from obstruction as this

would interfere with the correct operation of the

boiler.

4. The boiler may be installed in a cupboard if

these minimum clearances are kept. The

compartment should be large enough to house

the boiler and ancillary equipment only.

5. IT SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A STORAGE

CUPBOARD.

4.2 Check List

1. If a fault develops, or is suspected, call your

Service Engineer as soon as possible.

2. Go through the following check list before you

make contact.

a) Is the electricity supply on ?

b) Is the selector switch in the On Position

(giving a green “Power On”neon) ?

c) Is the red “Flame Failure”neon lit ?

Turn the On/Off/Reset selector fully anti-

clockwise.

d) Is the gas supply on ?

e) Is the system pressure correct ?

f) Is the boiler temperature control set high

enough ?

g) Is the time clock (if fitted) calling for heat ?

h) Is the room thermostat (if fitted) set high

enough ?

i) Are the radiator valves open ?

5.0 Cleaning, Spares & Guarantee

5.1 Cleaning the Outercase

The painted panels should be wiped with a damp

cloth and then dried completely. DO NOT USE

ABRASIVE CLEANING AGENTS.

5.2 Spare Parts

IMPORTANT - Only a competent person

should be used to service or repair this boiler.

1. Any repairs to the boiler will usually be the

responsibility of the Installer during the

guarantee period after which spare parts may be

obtained through approved Potterton stockists if

required.

2. Quote the appliance name, model number

and where possible the part number when

ordering spares. A parts list is included in the

Installation and Servicing Instructions.

3. The name, model number and serial number

can be found on the information label on the

back of the hinged lower door (Fig. 20).
