 Do not use any electrical switches, mains plugs, doorbells, telephones or other communication systems in the building.
 Close the emergency control valve or the main isolator.
 If possible, close the gas stopcock on the product.
 Warn other occupants in the building by yelling or banging on doors or walls.
 Leave the building immediately and ensure that others do not enter the building.
 Alert the police and fire brigade, and inform the emergency service department of the gas supply company as soon as you are outside the building.
1.3.2 Flue gas
Flue gases may cause poisoning, while hot flue gases may also cause burns. Flue gases must therefore never be allowed to escape uncontrollably.
What to do if you smell flue gas in the property:
 Open all accessible doors and windows fully to provide ventilation.
 Switch off the product.  Check the flue gas routes in the product
and the flue gas diversions.
To prevent flue gas exit:
 Only operate the product if the air/flue pipe has been completely installed.
 With the exception of short periods for testing purposes, only operate the product when the front casing is installed and closed.
 In order to operate the product, ensure that the condensate siphon is always full. ­ Water seal level for units with condensate siphon (third-party accessory):  200 mm

To ensure that the combustion air supply is sufficient during open-flued operation:
 Ensure that the air supply to the product's installation room is permanently unobstructed and sufficient in accordance with the relevant ventilation requirements. This also applies, in particular, for cupboard installations.
To prevent corrosion on the product and in the flue system:
 Ensure that the combustion air supply is free from sprays, solvents, chlorinated cleaning agents, paint, adhesives, ammonia compounds, dust or similar substances.
 Ensure that no chemical substances are stored at the installation site.
 If you are installing the product in hairdressing salons, painter's or joiner's workshops, cleaning businesses or similar locations, choose a separate installation room in which the room air is technically free of chemical substances.
1.3.4 Electricity
The power supply terminals L and N remain live.
To prevent electric shocks, proceed as follows before working on the product:
 Disconnect the product from the power supply by switching off all power supplies at all poles (electrical partition with a contact gap of at least 3 mm, e.g. fuse or circuit breaker) or remove the mains plug (if present).
 Secure against being switched back on again.
 Wait at least three minutes until the condensers have discharged.
 Check that there is no voltage.

To ensure that the seals are not damaged:
 Instead of grease, use only water or commercially available soft soap to aid installation.
1.3.3 Air supply
Unsuitable or insufficient combustion and room air may lead to material damage, but also to life-threatening situations.

1.3.5 Weight
To prevent injuries when transporting the product:
 Make sure that the product is transported by at least two people.

5.7 Safety Devices
5.7.1 Electrical Supply Failure
The boiler will not work without an electrical supply. Normal operation of the boiler should resume when the electrical supply is restored.
Reset any external controls, to resume normal operation of the central heating.
If the boiler does not resume normal operation press the reset button. If the boiler does not resume normal operation after this call your Installation/Servicing company or Vaillant service.
5.7.2 Overheating Safety
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 on the boiler interface.
If the boiler fails to resume normal operation and all external controls are calling for heat, then call your Installation/ Servicing company or Vaillant service.
5.7.3 Frost protection
The appliance has a built in frost protection device that protects the boiler from freezing. With the gas and electric supplies ON and irrespective of any room thermostat setting, the frost protection device will operate the pump when the temperature of the boiler water falls below 12 °C.
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 10 °C or has already reached 35 °C. The burner will activate if the boiler temperature does not reach 10 °C after 30 minutes or at any time if the temperature drops to 5 °C.
The burner will switch off when the temperature reaches 35 °C.
5.7.4 Condensate Drain Blockage
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. After pressing reset the boiler should restart.

Consult the installation template that is supplied to find the dimension A.
6.3 Installation site
This boiler is not suitable for outdoor installation. This boiler may be installed in any room. However if the boiler is being installed in a room containing a bath or shower it must only be installed in zones 2 or 3. In GB this is the current I.E.E. WIRING REGULATIONS and BUILDING REGULATIONS. In IE reference should be made to the current edition of I.S.813 "Domestic Gas Installations" and the current ETCI rules.
If the boiler is to be installed in a timber frame building it should be fitted in accordance with the current version of the Institute of Gas Engineers document IGE/UP/7. If in doubt seek advice from local gas undertaking or the manufacturer.

6.6 Air/flue pipe 6.6.1 Regulation Different flue outlet configurations can be carried out. ­ Consult the installation manual for air/flue gas systems
for more information about the other possibilities and associated accessories.

­ Standard flue terminal kits have an in-built fall back to the boiler to drain the condensate. These can be fitted level between the appliance and the termination position. All other extended flues must have a fall of at least 44 mm/m.
The maximum length of the flue outlet is defined according to its type (for example C13).
­ Whatever the kind of flue system chosen, observe the minimum distances to position the flue terminals.
­ To install the flue, refer to the separate flue instruction supplied with your appliance.
­ Explain these requirements to the user of the appliance.
In GB the minimum acceptable siting dimensions for the terminal from obstructions, other terminals and ventilation openings are shown in diagram overleaf.
In IE the minimum distances for flue terminal positioning must be those detailed in I.S. 813 "Domestic Gas Installations".
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.

It is not necessary to maintain a clearance between the product and components made of combustible materials that go beyond the minimum clearances.

6.5 Compartment Ventilation
The boilers are very high efficiency appliances.
As a consequence the heat loss from the appliance casing during operation is very low.
Compartment ventilation is not required as the products are only certified, and can only be fitted with a concentric flue system.

9.5 Using check programmes
Call up the installer level + 1x By activating various check programmes, you can trigger special functions on the product. Check programmes ­ Overview ( Page 48)

9.6 Preventing low water pressure
To ensure that the heating installation operates smoothly, the indicator on the pressure gauge must point to the upper half of the grey area or to the middle of the bar graph display in the display (marked by the dashed limit values) when the heating installation is cold. This corresponds to a filling pressure of between 0.1 MPa and 0.2 MPa (1.0 bar and 2.0 bar).
If the heating installation extends over several storeys, higher filling pressures may be required to avoid air entering the heating installation.
If the filling pressure falls below 0.08 MPa (0.8 bar), the product indicates low pressure by displaying a flashing pressure value. If the filling pressure falls below 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar), the product switches off. The display shows F.22.
 Top up the heating water to start the product up again.
The pressure value flashes in the display until a pressure of 0.11 MPa (1.1 bar) or higher has been reached.

P.01 Maximum load P.02 Minimum load P.06 Filling mode

Meaning
The internal pump is cyclically actuated. The heating circuit and the domestic hot water circuit are adaptively purged by automatically switching the circuits using the automatic air vent (the automatic air vent's cap must be loose). The active circuit is shown in the display. Press once to start purging the heating circuit. Press once to end the purge programme. Note: The purge programme runs for 7.5 min per circuit and then terminates. Purging the heating circuit: Prioritising diverter valve in heating position, actuation of internal pump for 9 cycles: 30 sec. on, 20 sec. off. Display: Active heating circuit. Purging the domestic hot water circuit: After the above-mentioned cycles have run or the righthand selection button has been pressed again: Prioritising diverter valve in the domestic hot water position, actuation of the internal pump as above. Display: Active domestic hot water circuit.
After successful ignition, the product is operated at maximum heat input.
After successful ignition, the product is operated at minimum heat input.
The prioritising diverter valve is moved to the mid-position. The burner and pump are switched off (to fill or drain the product).

G Commissioning Checklist
Benchmark Commissioning & Warranty Validation Service Record
It is a requirement that the boiler is installed and commissioned to the manufacturers' instructions and the data fields on the commissioning checklist completed in full. To instigate the boiler warranty the boiler needs to be registered with the manufacturer within one month of the installation. The warranty rests with the end-user (consumer), and they should be made aware it is ultimately their responsibility to register with the manufacturer, within the allotted time period. It is essential that the boiler is serviced in line with the manufacturers' recommendations, at least annually. This must be carried out by a competent Gas Safe registered engineer. The service details should be recorded on the Benchmark Service and Interim Boiler Work Record and left with the householder. Failure to comply with the manufacturers' servicing instructions and requirements will invalidate the warranty.

www.hhic.co.uk
This Commissioning Checklist is to be completed in full by the competent person who commissioned the boiler as a means of demonstrating compliance with the appropriate Building Regulations and then handed to the customer to keep for future reference. Failure to install and commission according to the manufacturers' instructions and complete this Benchmark Commissioning Checklist will invalidate the warranty. This does not affect the customer's statutory rights.

* All installations in England and Wales must be notified to Local Authority Building Control (LABC) either directly or through a Competent Persons Scheme. A Building Regulations Compliance Certificate will then be issued to the customer.

H Commissioning Flow Chart

NOTE THE AIR GAS RATIO VALVE IS FACTORY
SET AND MUST NOT BE ADJUSTED DURING COMMISSIONING UNLESS THIS ACTION IS RECOMMENDED FOLLOWING CONTACT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. If any such adjustment is recommended and further checking of the boiler is required the installer/service engineer must be competent to carry out this work and to use the flue gas
analyser accordingly. If the boiler requires conversion to operate with
a different gas family (e.g. conversion from natural gas to LPG) separate guidance will be
provided by the boiler manufacturer

PRIOR TO CO AND COMBUSTION RATIO CHECK The boiler manufacturer's installation instructions should have been followed, gas type verified and gas
supply pressure/rate checked as required prior to commissioning. As part of the installation process, especially where a flue has been fitted by persons other than the boiler installer, visually check the integrity of the whole flue system to confirm that all components are
correctly assembled, fixed and supported. Check that manufacturer's max. flue lengths have not been exceeded and all guidance has been followed (e.g. Gas Safe Technical Bulletin TB008). The flue gas analyser should be of the correct type, as specified by BS 7967
Prior to its use, the flue gas analyser should have been maintained and calibrated as specified by the manufacturer. The installer must have the relevant competence for use of the analyser. Check and zero the analyser IN FRESH AIR as per analyser manufacturer's instructions.
SET BOILER TO MAXIMUM RATE In accordance with boiler instructions, set boiler to operate at max. rate
(full load condition). Allow sufficient time for combustion to stabilise. NOTE - Do not insert analyser probe during this period to avoid
possible "flooding" of sensor.

VERIFY FLUE INTEGRITY Analyser readings indicate that combustion products and inlet air must be mixing. Further investigation of
the flue is therefore required. Check that flue components are assembled, fixed and supported as per boiler/flue manufacturer's
instructions. Check that flue and flue terminal are not obstructed.

Is
O2  20.6% and
CO2 < 0.2%

YES

NO

TURN OFF APPLIANCE AND CALL MANUFACTURER'S TECHNICAL HELPLINE
FOR ADVICE. THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE COMMISSIONED UNTIL PROBLEMS ARE
IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.

Check all seals around the appliance burner, internal flue seals, door and case seals. Rectify where necessary.

Is CO less than
335ppm and
CO/CO2 ratio less than 0.004

YES

NO

TURN OFF APPLIANCE AND CALL MANUFACTURER'S TECHNICAL HELPLINE
FOR ADVICE. THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE COMMISSIONED UNTIL PROBLEMS ARE IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED. IF COMMISSIONING CANNOT BE FULLY COMPLETED, THE APPLIANCE MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE GAS SUPPLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GSIUR. NOTE: Check and record CO and combustion ratio at both max. and min. rate before contacting the
manufacturer.

NO

CARRY OUT FLUE INTEGRITY CHECK USING ANALYSER Insert analyser probe into air inlet test point and allow readings to stabilise. NOTE - where no air inlet test point is provided then a flue integrity check
with the analyser is not possible. The installer should verify that flue integrity has been visually checked in accordance with the "Prior to
CO and combustion ratio check" box above before proceeding to the "Check CO and combustion ratio at maximum rate" stage below.

NO

Is O2  20.6%
and CO2 < 0.2%
YES

CHECK CO AND COMBUSTION RATIO AT MAX. RATE With boiler still set at maximum rate, insert analyser probe into flue gas
sampling point. Allow readings to stabilise before recording. NOTE - If no flue gas sampling point is present and the correct procedure is
not specified in the manual, consult boiler manufacturer for guidance.

NO

Is
CO less than
350ppm and
CO/CO2 ratio less than 0.004

YES

SET BOILER TO MINIMUM RATE In accordance with boiler instructions, set boiler to operate at minimum rate (to
minimum load condition). Allow sufficient time for combustion to stabilise. NOTE - If manufacturer's instructions do not specify how to set boiler to minimum
rate contact Technical Helpline for advice.
CHECK CO AND COMBUSTION RATIO AT MINIMUM RATE With boiler still set at minimum rate, insert analyser probe into flue gas sampling
point. Allow readings to stabilise before recording. NOTE - If no flue gas sampling point is present and the correct procedure is not
specified in the manual, consult boiler manufacturer for guidance.
Is CO less than 350ppm and CO/CO2 ratio less than 0.004
YES
BOILER IS OPERATING SATISFACTORILY no further actions required.
Ensure test points are capped, boiler case is correctly replaced and all other commissioning procedures are completed.
Complete Benchmark Checklist, recording CO and combustion ratio readings as required.
