Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
Under Section 6 of The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, we are required to provide information on substances hazardous to health.
The adhesives and sealants used in this appliance are cured and give no known hazard in this state.
Refractory Ceramic Fibre
This product uses insulation material containing Refractory
Ceramic Fibre (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract, consequently, it makes sense to take care when handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.
To ensure that the release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum, during installation and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any dust accumulated in and around the boiler before and after working on the boiler. When replacing these articles we recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within heavy duty polythene bags, clearly labelled as
RCF waste. This is not classified as “hazardous waste” and may be disposed of at a tipping site licensed for the disposal of industrial waste.

3 Flue Location and Ventilation
3.1 Flue Position and Length
There are several flueing options available for the Energysaver
Combi, e.g. horizontal, vertical and twin flue.
The standard horizontal flue is fitted onto the top of the boiler using the flue elbow.
See diagrams 3.1 to 3.3 to determine whether a standard flue can be used.
The standard flue can be extended using 1m long extension kits and 90
°
elbows. A maximum of 3500mm of extension pipes plus
3x90
°
bends can be added to the standard horizontal flue length.
NOTE: When extension pipes are used the flue system must be designed to have a continuous fall to the boiler of at least 2.5
° to facilitate the removal of condensate.
3.2 Internal Flue Installation
The flue can be installed from inside the building, when access to the outside wall face is not practicable.
3.3 Terminal Position
The minimum acceptable siting dimensions for the terminal from obstructions, other terminals and ventilation openings are shown in diagram 3.4.
The terminal must be exposed to the external air, allowing free passage of air across it at all times.
Being a condensing boiler some pluming may occur from the flue outlet. This should be taken into consideration when selecting the position for the terminal.
Car ports or similar extensions of a roof only, or a roof and one wall, require special consideration with respect to any openings, doors, vents or windows under the roof. Care is required to protect the roof if made of plastic sheeting. If the car port comprises of a roof and two or more walls, seek advice from the local gas supply company before installing the boiler.
If the terminal is fitted less than 600mm below plastic guttering or less than 450mm below painted eaves or a painted gutter, an aluminium shield 750mm long should be fitted immediately beneath the guttering or eaves.

4 Heating System
4.1 General
The boiler is for use in sealed water systems only.
The safety valve is an integral part of the boiler and it cannot be adjusted.
A pressure gauge is incorporated into the boiler to indicate the system pressure.
The circulation pump is integral with the boiler, see diagram 4.1.
4.2 Expansion Vessel
The boiler has an integral expansion vessel with a capacity of
7 litres (1.54 gallons), with a charge pressure of 0.5bar.
The maximum heating system water content using the fitted expansion vessel is 130 litres at an average temperature of
75
O
C, and charge pressure of 1.0bar.
4.3 Flow Rate
The minimum flow rate through the boiler is 400 litres/hr for
ES80 and 470 litres/hr for ES100. This is equal to 20 O C differential at maximum heat input.
The system can be fitted with a lockable balancing valve if necessary in the main flow or return pipes shown as valve "A" in diagram 4.2.
4.4 Bypass
The boiler is fitted with a manual bypass, see diagram 4.3. This valve may be adjusted by the installer if necessary to ensure at least 400 litres/hr for ES80 and 470 litres/hr for ES100 flow through the boiler. The boiler is supplied with the bypass open by approximately half a turn and is closed by turning the white screw clockwise. However for systems completely fitted with thermostatic radiator valves or systems of high pressure loss an additional bypass valve must be fitted to the heating circuit to ensure that under no circumstances does the flow rate drop below this level.
An additional bypass valve “B” is shown in diagram 4.2.
4.5 Filling Sealed Systems
Provision for filling the system at a low level must be made. Two methods of filling are shown in diagram 4.4. There must be no permanent connection to the mains water supply, even through a non-return valve.

4.6 Water Treatment
For optimum performance after installation, the boiler and its associated central heating system should be flushed in accordance with BS7593:1992 using a cleanser such as Sentinel
X300 or X400, or Fernox Superfloc.
For long term corrosion protection, after flushing, an inhibitor suitable for aluminium heat exchangers should be used.
Examples are Sentinel X100 and Fernox Copal.
4.7 Draining Tap
A draining tap must be provided at the lowest points of the system, which will allow the entire system to be drained.
The flow and return isolation valves are provided with drain points for boiler heat exchanger drainage, see diagram 8.1.

5 Domestic Hot Water System
5.1 Water Pressure
The maximum working pressure of the domestic hot water circuit is 8 bar.
If the cold water supply pressure exceeds the maximum, a pressure reducing valve must be fitted in the supply to the boiler.
5.2 “Hard” Water Areas
The temperatures within the heat exchanger are limited by the boiler control system to minimise scale formation within the hot water pipework. However, in areas where the water is “hard”
(i.e. more than 200mg/litre), it is recommended that the hot water setting is adjusted from to (see section 11.8 and diagram 11.4) and that a scale reducer is fitted.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or consult the local water company for additional advice.
5.3 Domestic Water Flow Rate
The water flow rate is governed to a maximum 12 litre/min by a restrictor fitted into the boiler pipework.
5.4 Mixing Valve
There is a domestic hot water mixing valve fitted to the boiler base and this is factory set at approximately 60 O C. This can be adjusted if necessary to supply a lower temperature. Turn the
5mm adjuster anticlockwise to reduce the temperature, see diagram 14.7. The domestic hot water temperature can also be adjusted, see section 11.8.
6.1 Wall Mounting Pack
The wall mounting pack contains everything required to preplumb the boiler, including the wall mounting jig, hanging bracket, wall template, screw pack, room thermostat and safety valve discharge pipe, along with these instructions.
6.2 Wall Template
Remove the wall template from the wall mounting pack and place in the desired position on a flat wall, giving due consideration to boiler clearances, see section 2.
6.3 Flue Hole Cutting
The
standard horizontal flue
is designed with an internal fall of 35mm/metre towards the boiler for disposal of condensate.
If the standard flue length alone is being used then the flue hole of diameter 105mm can be cut in the position marked on the wall template.
For
standard side flues
the horizontal flue centre line on the wall template should be extended to the side wall, and the vertical centre of the flue hole marked at 208mm from the back wall.
For installations with external access, a 105mm diameter core drill can be used.
For installations with internal access only a 125mm diameter core drill should be used.
When using extension pipes with the horizontal rear flue, a core drill size of 125mm should be used to allow the extension pieces to slope at 35mm/metre (2.5
0 ) towards the boiler.
For
extended side flues
, the flue hole centre should be determined by extending the dashed inclined line on the template to the side wall. This dashed line is drawn at 35mm/metre (2.5
o ) rise from the boiler. Where this line reaches the side wall, a horizontal line should be marked. The vertical centre line of the flue should then be marked at 208mm from the back wall, see diagram 6.1.
6 Installation Preparation
To allow for the flue passing through the wall at this angle a
125mm hole should be drilled irrespective of internal or external installation.
If necessary remove the wall template whilst drilling the flue hole.
6.5 Wall Mounting Jig and Hanging Bracket
Fixing
If previously removed, reposition the wall template over the flue hole and mark the position of the fixing holes for the jig and the hanging bracket.
Drill the four fixing holes using a 7mm dia. drill bit and insert wall plugs supplied.
If gas and/or water pipes are to be plumbed through the rear wall directly into the wall mounting jig holes, the holes must be drilled as marked on the wall template prior to fixing of the wall mounting jig.
Secure the wall mounting jig and hanging bracket using the screws and washers supplied, see diagram 6.2.

6.5 Pre Plumbing
The wall mounting jig can now be pre-plumbed without the boiler being mounted if necessary. All water, gas and electric connections are on the wall mounting jig with the exception of the condense drain, the position of which is shown on the wall template for pre plumbing purposes. See sections 9 and 10 for details of gas, water, condensate and electrical connections.
6.6 Unpacking of Boiler Carton
Cut the straps that secure the carton and the boiler to its transit pallet and open the top flaps of the carton. Carefully remove the top packing piece which contains the user control door and place to one side until required. Remove the carton and edge packing. To assist in lifting the boiler it is advisable to remove the casing door by removing the two securing screws.
6.7 Optional Mini Expansion Vessel
As an option a mini expansion vessel can be fitted to the domestic pipework as shown in diagram 6.3.
For ease of installation the vessel should be fitted to the boiler prior to it being lifted to the wall.
Remove the right hand casing panel of the boiler as described in section 12.7.
Remove the 1/2" plug fitted into the domestic pipework.
Fit the mini expansion vessel using a suitable thread sealant to make a water tight seal.

Make sure that the drain points on the isolating valves are positioning towards the front of the boiler, also that the drain and operating screw heads are accessible.
9.3 Safety Valve Discharge
WARNING: The pipe from the safety valve must not discharge above an entrance, window or any type of public access area.
A short discharge pipe is supplied loose in the wall mounting pack. This must be extended, using not less than 15mm o.d.
pipe, to discharge, in a visible position, outside the building, facing downwards, preferably over a drain.
The pipe must have a continuous fall and be routed to a position so that any discharge of water, possibly boiling, or steam cannot create any danger to persons, damage to property or external electrical components and wiring.
NOTE: To ease future servicing it is advisable to use a compression type fitting to extend the discharge pipe.
9.4 Condensate Connection
The condensate connection is at the bottom of the boiler to the left hand side of the wall mounting jig, see diagram 9.1.
The condensate discharge pipe should have a fall of at least 2.5

11.3 Preparation for Lighting
Isolate the boiler from the mains electrical supply.
Test for gas soundness and purge air from the gas supply. Turn on the gas isolation valve, slot in line with the length of the valve, see diagram 8.1.
11.4 Initial Lighting
The lighting procedure of the boiler is fully automated. Check that all external controls are calling for heat. If an integral clock/ timer is fitted check that it is correctly programmed and if necessary overridden to provide heat.
Turn on the mains electrical supply. After a short delay the digital display on the fascia should illuminate, see diagram 1 in
Instructions for Use.
The fan should start and after a few seconds the ignition will commence.
If the burner fails to light the fan will stop and the display will flash
'0'
and then
'2 '
. This indicates the boiler has failed to light,
* which initially may be due to air in the gas supply line.
Press the ‘Reset’ button and the boiler will restart, see diagram
1 in Instructions for Use
Flashing digits indicate a fault. Refer to fault finding if any fault persists, see section 13.
After the burner has lit, the boiler will initially heat up the domestic hot water cylinder. This will take approximately four minutes.
After this a pump overrun will operate to ensure that the stored water temperature is not too high.
After a short period the three way valve will switch to central heating.
The boiler will continue firing in central heating mode until the user controls; ie. time clock or room thermostat are satisfied, or there is a demand for hot water.
11.5 Gas Pressure
The gas valve is factory set and should need no adjustment. It should be checked that the supply pressure is 20mb when the boiler is firing at full rate. This can be achieved by turning on several hot water taps and checking the inlet pressure at the tapping on the gas valve shown in diagram 11.2. Turn taps off and disconnect pressure gauge.
NOTE: The burner pressure is altered by the suction of the fan and is modulated according to demand.
11.6 Testing - Heating System
Check that all remote controls are calling for heat. The boiler will fire automatically. Fully open all radiator valves, flow control valve ‘A’ and additional bypass valve ‘B’ if fitted, see diagram
4.2.
Balance the radiators as required and if fitted adjust valve ‘A’ to give the required system differential. Turn off all radiators that can be shut off by the user and adjust the boiler bypass if necessary to achieve less than the maximum differential allowed of 20
°
C across flow and return.
If this is not possible, a separate system bypass must be fitted and adjusted to achieve less than maximum differential. Refer to section 4.3 and diagram 4.2.
Allow the system to reach maximum temperature then switch off the boiler by isolating from the electrical supply.
Drain the entire system rapidly whilst hot, using the drain tap at the lowest part of the system. Fill and vent the system as described previously in section 11.2.
Lock or remove the handles from controls valve ‘A’ and bypass valve ‘B’ if fitted to prevent unauthorised adjustment.
11.7 User Control Door - Fitting
Take the control door, which was removed from the top of the boiler carton and fit the the two brass lugs. Push the lugs into the slots at the bottom of the fascia to engage, see diagram 11.3.
11.8 User Controls and Options
The Energysaver Combi has a multifunctional single digit display and two control buttons labelled ‘Mode’ and ‘Reset’, see diagram 1 in Instructions for Use.
The ‘Reset’ button is used to restart the boiler after a fault condition has occurred, ie. ignition failure, low water pressure or high water temperature.
The ‘Mode’ button allows the user to view the operating conditions of the boiler, or if necessary change the domestic or central heating temperatures to a preferred setting. The boiler is factory pre-set to supply Domestic hot water up to 65

Minimum Input Lock
This function allows the service engineer to lock the appliance into delivering minimum heat input to enable accurate combustion analysis.
Maximum Input Lock
This function allows the service engineer to lock the appliance into delivering maximum heat input to enable accurate combustion analysis.
See section 12.6 for details of checking combustion.
Both input locks are not permanent and revert to normal operation after approximately 15 minutes. The boiler can be manually reverted at any time by pressing the ‘Reset’ button.
NOTE: If left the display automatically reverts to display temperature after approximately two minutes.
11.10 Adaptive Control
Adaptive Control is an advanced control feature that requires the interaction of a room thermostat. It is used in two out of the four central heating options and allows the boiler to optimise the heat output. This enables the boiler to operate at much lower temperatures and hence be more fuel efficient.
If a room thermostat is not fitted when using these modes the boiler will revert to standard modulation at the temperatures given in diagram 11.4.
NOTE: When the boiler fires from cold with the adaptive control active, it fires at low rate for ten minutes before ramping up to full rate.
For details of wiring in a room thermostat refer to section 10.2
and diagram 10.3.
11.11 Outside Sensor
If an outside sensor is fitted the boiler adjusts the flow temperature to compensate for variations in external temperature. Only two central heating options are available which are different to those in diagram 11.4, these are:
The outside sensor optimises the boiler flow temperature to suit demand. Normal on/off control is retained but a room thermostat is required. This is the preferred option.
For use in systems with a programmer but no room thermostat. Sets the boiler flow temperature depending on external temperature. During “off” periods on the programmer the flow temperature is reduced by 10 O C.
