NFORMATION
MTS (GB) Limited support the initiative. Your installer will give you, and show you how to use, a logbook which will give you important information about your boiler, and heating system. Please have this logbook to hand whenever you contact a service engineer or us.
All CORGI Registered Installers carry a
CORGI ID card, and have a registration number. Both should be recorded in your boiler Logbook. You can check your installer is CORGI registered by calling CORGI direct on :- (01256)
372300.
This is a combined appliance for the production of central heating (C.H.) and domestic hot water (D.H.W.).
This appliance must be used only for the purpose for which it is designed. The manufacturer declines all liability for damage caused by improper or negligent
4 use.
Do not allow children or inexperienced persons to use the appliance without supervision.
If you smell gas in the room, do not turn
on light switches, use the telephone or any other object which might cause sparks.
Open doors and windows immediately to ventilate the room.
Shut the gas mains tap (on the gas meter) or the valve of the gas cylinder and call your Gas Supplier immediately.
If you are going away for a long period of time, remember to shut the mains gas tap or the gas cylinder valve.
Before any intervention within the boiler it is first necessary to cut off the electrical power supply by turning the external switch to “OFF”.
This manual may be kept in the front panel of the boiler.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
C AUTION
I nstallation, start-up, adjustments and maintenance must be performed by a competent person only, in accordance with the current Gas
Safety (Installation & Use)
Regulations and the instructions provided. Improper installation may cause damage or injury to individuals, animals and personal property, for which the manufacturer will not be held liable.
To ensure efficient and safe operation it is recommended that the boiler is serviced annually by a competent person.
If it is known or suspected that a fault exists on the appliance, it must not be used until the fault has been corrected by a competent person.
8
To get the most out of your boiler, we have provided you with some useful advice on proper use and maintenance:
- Periodically check the system pressure using the pressure gauge
“M”, make sure that the pressure is between 1.0 and 1.5 bar (the blue part on the gauge) when the system is off and cool. The warning L.E.D.
“L” will indicate if the pressure is below the minimum recommended

value. Consult your installer for checking and refilling the system.
- The outer panels of the unit's case must only be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
The control panel can be wiped with either a damp or dry cloth. Spray polishes must not be used on the control panel surface or knobs. Care must be taken in preventing any liquid entering the appliance.
P
RACTICAL TIPS
- If the water is very hard, it is recommended that a water softener be added to the system so as to reduce the formation of limescale in the boiler exchangers. This will ensure that the efficiency of the unit remains the same over time, reducing gas consumption and maintenance costs.
- If the boiler should be out of use for a prolonged period, it is recommended that the electrical power supply be disconnected and that the external gas cock be closed.
If low temperatures are expected, the boiler and system pipe work should be drained in order to prevent frost damage.
- To improve comfort and take full advantage of the heat produced by the boiler, it is recommended that an external (room) thermostat be installed.
- It is good practice to clean and service the appliance and central heating system every year.
Call an Authorised Service Centre.

INTER AND SUMMER
OPERATING MODES
In the ‘winter operating mode’, the boiler will produce both central heating and domestic hot water. In the ‘summer operating mode’, the boiler will produce only domestic hot water.
Using the knobs on the control panel,
the user can select winter or summer operating mode. Keeping the knob “C” at the “0” position selects the summer operating mode. Winter operating mode may be selected by positioning the knob “C” between the min. and max. settings.
somewhere between min. and max., a temperature may be obtained which varies from approximately 45˚C to about 80˚C.

E CONOMY / COMFORT MODE
The selector knob
“G” allows the user to choose the economy mode
(position “E”) or the comfort mode
(position “C”).
G
The economy mode is the normal state for the operation of the boiler, since the domestic water is heated up only when a tap is turned on.
The comfort mode is a special operating state, because the water contained in the secondary exchanger and in the primary exchanger is kept in a preheated condition, thereby allowing a quicker delivery of domestic water when required. The latter is therefore the more convenient choice.
T
URNING OFF THE BOILER
To turn the boiler off, rotate the selector knob “A” to the “0” position (OFF); the respective green L.E.D. “D” will go off.
Close the gas cock located under the boiler and turn the electricity supply switch (located outside the boiler) to the OFF position.

OILER SHUTDOWN SITUATIONS
The boiler is equipped with safety devices that intervene in certain situations and shut it off. Most of these situations are communicated by means of the L.E.D.s and at times the user may be able to remedy them.

L.E.D. “F” will illuminate. In order to reset the ignition, the button “H” must be pressed and released. Should the boiler fail to ignite a second time, check that the external gas cock is open. If the problem persists, contact an
Authorised Service Centre.
S
HUTDOWN DUE TO OVERHEATING
In the event that the safety limit is exceeded for the temperature of the water in the boiler’s primary exchanger, the thermostat shuts off the boiler and the red L.E.D. “J” illuminates.
To remedy this situation, wait a few minutes to allow the exchanger to cool down, then press and release the reset button “H”.
If this situation occurs frequently, contact an Authorised Service Centre.
S
HUTDOWN DUE TO INSUFFICIENT
WATER CIRCULATION within the system, have a plumber check the heating system for possible water leaks.
If the red L.E.D. “L” is illuminated and the boiler is off, one
L possible cause for this state is an insufficient UT011Al pressure of water in the system.
Check the system pressure on the pressure gauge “M” and if it is less than 0.5 bar, consult your installer for checking and refilling the system.
Then turn off and turn back on the boiler by means of the selector knob
“A”. If the boiler does not start up again and the L.E.D. “L” remains illuminated, contact an Authorised
Service Centre.
If there are frequent drops in pressure
T
EMPORARY SHUTDOWN DUE TO
DEFECTIVE DISCHARGE OF
EXHAUST FUMES
The boiler is fitted with safety devices, which in the event of a defective discharge of exhaust fumes, automatically interrupts the gas supply, thereby shutting off the boiler.
The shut-off of the boiler is temporary and is indicated by the illumination of the yellow L.E.D. “E” for a period of about 15 minutes.
Once this time period has passed and the discharge state of exhaust fumes has returned to normal, the boiler automatically turns back on.

so that they may check that the exhaust fumes are being expelled correctly and that the area is ventilated properly.
A NTI FROST DEVICE
4. MAINTENANCE
Schedule an annual maintenance check-up for the boiler with a competent person.
Correct maintenance always results in savings in the cost of running the system.
The boiler is fitted with a device which, in the event that the water temperature goes below 5°C, the three-way diverter valve switches to domestic hot water and the burner turns on at minimum power until the water in the boiler has reached a temperature of about 50°C.
This device is only activated when the boiler is operating perfectly and
- the system pressure is sufficient;
- the boiler is powered electrically;
- gas is being distributed.

5. CHANGE OF GAS TYPE
Our boilers are designed to function either with Natural Gas (methane) or
LPG gas. If you need to changeover from one gas to the other, one of our
Authorised Service Centres should be contacted.

To set the heating of your home in the time interval from 7.00 am to
9.30 am and from 7.00 pm to 10.00
pm every day:
- rotate the outer ring of the clock in a clockwise direction until the correct time of day (24h) lines up with the arrow on the clock (at approx. 2 o’clock position);
- under no circumstances should the minute hand be moved manually;
- make sure all the switches, i.e. the riders, are placed on the inside of the
17
clock border;
- pull outward the riders for 7.00 am and 9.30 am, and then all riders between these two;
- repeat this for 7.00 pm and 10.00
pm.
Other heating intervals may be set in the same way.
