5.0 INITIAL COMMISSIONING OF THE BOILER
Remove protective plastic coating from all surfaces
Attach a swivel-dispense arm to each of the draw-off taps
Ensure that the taps are both in the closed position
With all appropriate services connected, turn on the water supply
Switch on the electricity supply at the isolation switch.
Switch the machine on at the black rocker switch (front panel). The green
“power” and amber “ready” lights will illuminate briefly. The power light will
then be constantly illuminated to indicate mains supply. (All boilers have low
voltage switching for user safety).
The machine will start to fill with water. After approximately 4 ½ minutes, the
red “service” light will flash 6 times and the boiler will stop filling. Note: This is
an electronic fault-diagnosis check, which only happens on initial priming of
the boiler from empty. To continue, switch the machine off and then back on
again –the machine will continue to fill.
Upon the water reaching the lower water sensor, the solenoid valve will close
and the elements will begin to heat.
When the correct temperature (factory-set between 96 and 98^C) has been
reached, the amber ready light will illuminate. This takes approximately 10
minutes.
Upon reaching the correct temperature, the boiler will call for more water. The
machine will not fill completely all at once but in short, controlled bursts that
are electronically controlled to obtain maximum output, temperature and
efficiency. Note: The heating elements remain on while the solenoid is
energised to maximise performance.
This heat/fill cycle will continue until the water reaches the top water level
sensor. This takes approximately 35 minutes. Thereafter the machine goes
into "idle" mode, pulsing the heating element periodically to maintain
temperature.
Water can be manually dispensed via the two outlet taps on the front of the
unit
When the volume of stored water in the tank reduces, this is picked up via the
top operating sensor and the unit reverts back to "heat/fill" mode thus
maintaining a constant supply of near-boiling water
Note to installation engineer
Instruct the end user on the operating features of the appliance.
Instruct the end user how to isolate all services in case of emergency.
Instruct the end user on cleaning and de-scaling of the appliance
Advise end user that these instructions must be retained in a safe place
