Introduction

1. Your Potterton Performa 28 is a gas fired, room

sealed, powered flue combination boiler, providing

central heating for your home and mains fed

domestic hot water to taps and shower. It is fully

automatic and does not have a pilot light.

2. Priority is given to the hot water mode - when a hot

water tap is turned on the supply of heat to the

central heating circuit is interrupted.

Facia Panel

1. The facia panel is behind the hinged lower door.

As well as the on/off/reset selector switch,

temperature control knobs and pressure gauge, the

facia incorporates ten neon indicator lights.

2. Neons 12 to 15 indicate the operational status of

the boiler. Neons 6 to 11 have a dual function,

indicating the temperature of the central heating

water when constantly illuminated. If a fault develops

the appropriate neon will begin to flash.

between 0.5 and 1.0 bar (Fig. 4).

2. Turn the On/Off/Reset selector switch either anti-

clockwise from the off position (Fig. 6) to both central

heating and domestic hot water or clockwise to

domestic hot water only.

3. In either position the green power on neon ( ) will

illuminate (Fig. 5).

4. Position (i) In this position the central heating will

operate according to demand or provide domestic hot

water when a tap or shower is turned on (Fig. 7).

Priority is given to domestic hot water. The central

heating neon ( ) will illuminate when the boiler is

supplying central heating. If there is a demand for

domestic hot water the ( ) neon will illuminate and

the central heating neon ( ) will extinguish (Fig. 5).

Neons 6 to 11 will illuminate as the temperature rises.

5. Position (ii) In this position hot water will be

provided when a tap or shower is turned on (Fig. 8).

The hot water neon ( ) will illuminate (Fig. 5).

6. The boiler will light automatically on demand.

7. The orange burner on neon ( ) will illuminate

when the boiler is operating and the main burner is on

(Fig. 5).

IMPORTANT: When the selector switch is in the ‘0’

(Off) position the electrical supply to the boiler is

isolated. The boiler will not operate and the integral

timer (if fitted) will require resetting once the

selector switch is set to either Position (i) or

Position (ii).

Temperature Control

1. Central Heating: The central heating hot water

flow temperature can be adjusted between 30°C

(± 5°C) minimum and 85°C (± 5°C) maximum.

2. Turn the control knob clockwise to increase the

temperature (Fig. 9).

3. In normal winter usage we recommend that the

central heating temperature be set at maximum.

4. Domestic Hot Water: The temperature of the

domestic hot water can be adjusted by turning the

control knob clockwise to increase up to a maximum

of 65°C (Fig. 10).

5. The temperature of the water is also dependent on

the water flow rate and the temperature of the mains

coming into the house.

6. By slightly reducing the flow from the tap the

temperature will increase up to the maximum if

required.

7. The flow rate can be reduced down to as low as 2.5

litre/min. The boiler will still recognise the need to heat

the water.

Flame Failure Reset

1. The red flame failure neon ( ) will illuminate in the

event of the burner failing to light, or when incomplete

lighting of the burner occurs (Fig. 11).

2. Turn the selector switch fully anti-clockwise against

the spring pressure to the reset position, hold for at

least 3 seconds and release (Fig. 12). Set the selector

to the required position to light the boiler.

3. If the flame failure light illuminates repeatedly a

fault is indicated. Your Installer or Service Engineer

should be contacted as soon as possible.

Safety Thermostat

1. Your Potterton Performa 28 is fitted with an

additional safety device, which shuts down the boiler

in the event of the system or the boiler overheating.

The safety thermostat neon ( ) will light in this

instance (Fig. 11).

2. To reset: Turn the selector fully anti-clockwise

against the spring pressure to the reset position, hold

for at least 3 seconds and release (Fig. 12). Set the

selector to the required position to light the boiler.

3. If the safety thermostat operates repeatedly,

causing boiler shutdown, a fault is indicated. Your

Installer or Service Engineer should be contacted as

soon as possible.

Air Flow Monitor

1. The boiler is fitted with an air pressure sensing

device. This monitors the flue system.

2. If the neon illuminates ( ) it indicates that the flue

or flue terminal is blocked or obstructed in some way,

or that there is an internal fault. If there is no external

blockage of the flue terminal that can be easily

removed contact your Installer or Service Engineer

(Fig. 12).

Pump Fault or Low Pressure

1. The neon ( ) will illuminate if the circulating pump

is faulty or the system pressure drops below the

minimum requirement (Fig. 12).

2. Check the pressure gauge as described in Section

‘Central Heating System Pressure’. If the pressure is in

the normal range, a pump fault is indicated. Contact

your Installer or Service Engineer to determine the

nature of the fault.

Sensor Fault

1. When the ( ) or ( ) neon is illuminated a fault

on the hot water or central heating temperature sensor

is indicated (Fig. 12). Contact your Installer or Service

Engineer.

Pump Protection

1. With the selector switch in either Position (i) or

Position (ii) (Figs. 13 & 14) the pump will automatically

operate for 1 minute in every 24 hours to prevent

sticking.

Central Heating System Pressure

1. The water pressure in the central heating system is

indicated by the pressure gauge.

2. With the system cold and the boiler not operating

the pressure should be between 0.5 and 1.0 bar.

During operation the pressure should not exceed 2.5

bar, and will normally be between 1.0 and 2.0 (Figs.

15 & 16).

3. A pressure of 3 or greater indicates a fault. The

safety pressure relief valve will operate, at a pressure

of 3 (Fig. 17). It is important that your Installer or

Service Engineer is contacted as soon as

possible.

4. The MINIMUM pressure for correct operation is 0.5.

If the pressure falls below 0.5, this may indicate a leak

on the central heating system (Fig. 18).

To Shut Off the Boiler

1. For short periods: Turn the selector switch to the

OFF position (Fig. 19).

2. For long periods: Turn off the selector switch

(Fig.19), electricity and gas supplies.

If your home is to be left unoccupied for long

periods during cold weather the boiler and whole

system should be drained unless there is additional

frost protection.

3. Your installer will advise you about frost protection

and draining the system.

IMPORTANT: When the selector switch is in the ‘0’

(Off) position the electrical supply to the boiler is

isolated. The boiler will not operate and the integral

timer (if fitted) will require resetting once the

selector switch is set to either Position (i) or

Position (ii).

Frost Protection Mode

1. The frost protection feature will operate when the

selector switch is in the central heating and domestic

hot water mode.

The gas and electrical supplies to the boiler must be

on and the system pressure must be within the range

described above in Section ‘Central Heating System

Pressure’.

2. If the system temperature falls below 5°C, then the

boiler will fire until the water temperature has been

raised.

3. Further frost protection can be incorporated by

using a frost thermostat to protect the whole system.

Clearances around the Boiler (Figs. 20 & 21)

1. The minimum clear spaces needed around the boiler

measured from the casing are as follows:

Top - 200mm

Bottom - 200mm

Both sides - 5mm

Front - 5mm (In Operation)

- 450mm (For Servicing)

2. These areas must not be obstructed in any way.

Blocking the clearance spaces may result in the

boiler overheating and damage may occur.

3. The gas burning compartment of your boiler is

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.

4. The boiler may be installed in a cupboard if these

minimum clearances are kept. The compartment

should be large enough to house the boiler and

ancillary equipment only.

5. IT SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A STORAGE

CUPBOARD.
