A removable compartment door can be placed a minimum of
5mm in front of the appliance but there must be a
clearance of 600mm minimum from a fixed surface
Boiler Design
The boiler is designed to provide central heating from a fully
pumped open vented or sealed water system with an indirect
cylinder.
The daily pump exercise combined with the built-in frost
protection will help to maintain and protect the boiler.
Once the controls are set the boiler operates automatically.
Compartment or Cupboard Installations
Ventilation is not required for compartment or cupboard
installations.
Do not use the compartment or cupboard for storage.
The minimum clearances to fixtures are shown in diagram 1.
Pluming from flue terminal
Like all condensing boilers it will produce a plume of
condensation from the flue terminal in cool weather. This is
due to the high efficiency and hence low flue gas temperature
of the boiler. It is normal and not a fault indication.
Electrical Supply Failure
The boiler will not work without an electrical supply and
normal operation of the boiler should resume when the
electrical supply is restored.
www.glow-worm.co.uk
If the boiler does not resume normal operation, check the
external controls, it may be necessary to "reset" the boiler,
refer to the following section, "Boiler Safety Devices".

Overheat Reset
Condensate Drain Blockage
Boiler Safety Devices
The boiler software is designed to recognise the potential for
an overheat lockout and will shutdown before this happens.
To restart the boiler, press the reset button, see diagram 2.

As a safety feature the boiler will stop working if the condensate
drain becomes blocked. During freezing conditions this may
be due to the forming of ice in the condense drain external to
the house. Release an ice blockage by the use of warm cloths
on the pipe. The boiler should then restart. Contact your
Installation/Servicing company or Glow-worm service if the
fault persists.
If the boiler fails to resume normal operation and all external
controls are calling for heat, then call your Installation/Servicing
company or Glow-worm service.
Frost Protection
With the gas and electric supplies ON and irrespective of any
room thermostat setting, the integral frost protection device
will operate the pump when the temperature of the boiler
water falls below 8OC.
A timer is used so that the temperature can be checked
periodically. After 10 minutes the pump will be stopped if the
temperature is higher than 10OC or has already reached
35OC.
The burner will only activate if the boiler temperature does
not reach 10OC after 30 minutes or at any time if the
temperature drops to 5OC.
The burner will switch off when the temperature reaches
35OC.
NOTE: Any other exposed areas of the system should be
protected by a separate frost thermostat.

To ensure the continued efficient and safe operation of the
boiler it is recommended that it is checked and serviced at
regular intervals. The frequency of servicing will depend upon
the site conditions and usage, but in general, once a year
should be enough.
If this boiler is installed in a rented property in the UK there is
a duty of care imposed on the owner of the property by the
current issue of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use)

damage the paintwork.
Frost Protection
www.glow-worm.co.uk
If the mains electricity and gas services are to be turned off for
any long periods during severe weather, it is recommended
that the whole system, including the boiler, should be drained
to avoid the risk of freezing.
