3.0 Fault Indication

6© Baxi Heating UK Ltd 2009

3.1 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. 1).

3.2 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. 1).

2. Check the pressure gauge as described on page 8. 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.

3.3 Sensor Fault

1. When either of the ( ) or ( ) neons is illuminated a

fault on one of the temperature sensors is indicated (Fig. 1).

Contact your Installer or Service Engineer.

3.4 Pump Protection

1. With the selector switch in the on position (Fig. 2) the

pump will automatically operate for 1 minute in every 24

hours to prevent sticking.

3.5 Safety Thermostat

1. Your Potterton Performa HE is fitted with an additional

safety devices, which shut down the boiler in the event of the

system, boiler or flue overheating. The safety thermostat neon

( ) will light in this instance (Fig. 1).

3.6 Flame Failure

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

of the burner failing to light, when incomplete lighting of the

burner occurs or blockage of the condensate drain (Fig. 1).

3.7 To Reset the Safety Thermostat or Flame

Failure

1. To reset: Turn the selector fully anti-clockwise against the

spring pressure to the ‘Reset’ position for at least two seconds

and release (Fig. 3).

2. If after turning the selector to the ‘Reset’ position the boiler

does not relight or the safety thermostat or flame failure

operates repeatedly, causing boiler shutdown, a fault is

indicated. Your Installer or Service Engineer should be

contacted as soon as possible.

4.1 Central Heating System Pressure

1. The normal operating water pressure is between 1 and 2.5

bar (Fig. 4). If the pressure exceeds 3 bar the safety pressure

valve will operate and a fault is indicated (Fig. 6). Contact your

installer.

2. It may be necessary to repressurise the system occasionally

(Fig. 5). A filling device (the filling loop) will be fitted on the

system. If you are unsure of its position, or cannot identify it,

consult the installer who fitted the boiler.

3. The filling loop will probably consist of two taps and a

separate metal braided hose with connection fittings.

4. Only when repressurising should the hose be connected

between the two taps. Ensure that the nuts on the pipe ends

are tightened onto the taps.

5. Fully open one of the taps first, and then while watching the

pressure gauge, carefully open the second tap.

6. When the needle on the gauge is indicating 1 or more turn

both taps off.

7. Disconnect the metal braided hose from the taps (a small

amount of water may be present) and remove it. Keep the

hose in a safe place for future use.

4.2 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. 7). In normal winter usage we recommend

that the central heating temperature be set at maximum.

3. 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. 8).

4. The temperature of the water is also dependent on the

water flow rate and the temperature of the mains coming into

the house.

5. By slightly reducing the flow from the tap the temperature

will increase up to the maximum if required.

6. 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.

see *NOTE: 5.1 For your Safety

1. This appliance must have been installed in accordance

with the manufacturer’s instructions and the regulations

in force.

2. Any modification that may interfere with the normal

operation of the appliance without express written

permission from the manufacturer or his agent could

invalidate the appliance warranty. In GB this could also

infringe the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations.

3. Your boiler must not be operated without the casing

correctly fitted.

4. Do not interfere with any sealed components on this

boiler.

5. Take note of any warning labels on your boiler.

6. Your boiler should have the following minimum

clearances for Safety and Maintenance

(Fig. 34):-

Top - 200mm

Bottom - 200mm

Left side - 5mm

Right Side - 5mm

Front - 5mm (In Operation)

- 450mm (For Servicing)

*NOTE: The boiler can be operated with a clearance

of 5mm at the right. This is also sufficient for routine

maintenance. However a clearance of 20mm is

required if it is necessary to remove the secondary

heat exchanger. This should be considered when

siting the appliance and in the event of any

subsequent alteration in the area of installation.

7. If your boiler is installed in a compartment, do not use

it for storage purposes. Do not obstruct any purpose

provided ventilation openings.

8. Flammable materials must not be stored in close

proximity to your boiler.

9. Avoid skin contact when your boiler is in operation, as

some surfaces may get hot e.g. pipework.

10. Ensure that the flue terminal, outside the house,

does not become damaged or obstructed, particularly

by foliage.

11. It is important that the condensate drain system is

not blocked, modified or damaged in any way as this

would affect the operation of your boiler. Your installer

should have insulated any exposed pipework.

Wales, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and the Channel Isles

6.0 Care of the Boiler

6.1 Cleaning the Outer case

The painted panels should be wiped with a damp cloth and

then dried completely. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE

CLEANING AGENTS.

6.2 Protection & Precaution

1. The boiler incorporates an integral frost protection feature

that will operate when the selector switch is in the ( )

position. If the boiler temperature falls below 5° C, then the

boiler will operate until the water temperature has been

raised.

2. If a system frost thermostat has been fitted (your installer

will be able to advise you), then to operate correctly and

protect your system, the gas and electricity must be left on and

the appliance set in the central heating mode.

3. The boiler incorporates an integral pump protection feature

which continually monitors the time since the pump last

operated. To prevent seizure, the pump will operate for

approximately 1 minute if it has not run in the last 24 hours.

6.3 To Shut Off the Boiler (Fig. 9)

1. For short periods: Turn the selelctor switch to the Off

position.

2. For long periods: Turn off the selector switch, 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.
