2.0 Operating the Boiler
4
2.1 Operating the Boiler
1. Hinge the lower door panel down (Fig. 1).
2. Turn on the main gas and electricity supplies to
the appliance.
3. Set the boiler thermostat control knob to the
required setting (Fig. 2). (The optimum boiler
setting depends upon type of system, external
controls and your requirements. Your installer will
be able to advise you on this matter.)
4. The fan will start to run and after a short period,
the ignition spark will commence. Sparking will
continue until the flame is established. Check that
both the Mains ON light and Boiler ON light are on.
Mains ON is indicated by green and Boiler ON by
yellow (Fig. 3).
5. Flashing Mains ON light indicates that there is a
mains electrical supply to the boiler, but the control
knob is in the OFF position. Turn the control knob
on and ignition will start.
2.2 To shut down the Boiler
1. Turn off the electricity supply to the appliance at
the mains.
2. Turn the boiler thermostat control knob to OFF
““(Fig. 2), then turn off the gas supply at the
appliance gas tap.
2.3 Frost Protection
1. The boiler does not have integral frost
protection. It is recommended that the installer fits
a suitable protection device to the system controls
if required. For frost protection the boiler must be
turned on.
2.4 Central Heating System Pressure
1. The water pressure in the central heating
system is indicated by the pressure gauge.
2. The normal operating pressure is the range
between 1 and 2·5 (Fig. 4).
3. A pressure of 3 or greater indicates a fault. The
safety pressure relief valve will operate, at a
pressure of 3 (Fig. 5). It is important that your
Service Engineer is contacted as soon as possible.
4. The MINIMUM pressure for correct operation
is 1. If the pressure falls below 1, this may indicate
a leak on the central heating system (Fig. 6).
5. The system must be re-pressurised by your
Service Engineer.
2.5 In Operation
1. The Promax System HE is a high efficiency
“condensing boiler”. In common with other
condensing boilers its exceptional efficiency means
the flue gases are cooled to such an extent that
steam is often visible at the outside flue terminal.
The amount produced depends on system design,
product use and outside air temperature but it is
not harmful to the individual or the working of the
appliance in any way.

illuminated, follow these instructions.
7. Check that the gas supply to the appliance has
not been inadvertently turned off.
8. Check the condensate drain outlet has not

4.1 Clearances around the Boiler
(Figs. 10 & 11)
1. The minimum clear spaces needed around
the boiler are:
Top - 200mm
Bottom - 200mm
Both sides - 5mm
Front - 500mm (For Servicing)
- 5mm (In Operation)
2. The boiler may be installed in an unventilated
cupboard or compartment if the following
minimum clearances are maintained:

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.
