Important general instructions for use

Only use the boiler in accordance with its designated use and
the service instructions. Installation, maintenance and repair
must be carried out by competent service engineers (e.g.
CORGI registered). Only use the boiler in conjunction with
the accessories and spare parts indicated in the installation,
maintenance and service instructions. Other accessories
and consumables may only be used if they are expressly
provided for the designated use and if system performance
and safety are not affected in any way.
The boiler is suitable for connection to fully pumped, sealed
water systems ONLY. Adequate arrangements for
completely draining the system by provision of draining
valves must be provided in the installation pipework.
Pipework from the boiler is routed downwards as standard,
but may be routed upwards behind the boiler using the wall
spacing frame.
Subject to technical modifications.
As a result of our policy of constant development, there may
be small differences between illustrations, functional steps
and technical data.

Regulations and directives
It is a requirement that all gas appliances are installed and

serviced by a CORGI registered installer in accordance with
the regulations. Failure to service appliances correctly could
lead to prosecution. It is in your own interest, and that of
safety, to ensure the law is complied with.
Timber Framed Buildings
It is a requirement and in your own interest, and that of safety

that this boiler must be serviced by a CORGI registered
installer, in accordance with the relevant requirements of the
current Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations,
The Building Regulations, current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations
and the relevant British Standard Codes of Practise.
Bathroom Installations
Detailed recommendations are contained in the following

British Standard Codes of Practice:
BS. 5440:1
Flues (for gas appliances of rated input not

exceeding 70 kW).
BS. 5440:2
Ventilation (for gas appliances of rated

input not exceeding 70 kW).
BS. 5449
Forced circulation hot water systems.
BS. 5546
Installation of gas hot water supplies for

domestic purposes (2nd. family Gases).
BS. 6798
Installation of gas fired hot water boilers of

rated input not exceeding 60 kW.
BS. 6891
Low pressure installation pipes.
BS. 7593: 1992: Code of practice for treatment of water in

domestic hot water central heating
systems.
IGE/UP/1b
Tightness testing and purging domestic

sized gas installations.
Health and & Safety Document No. 635.

The Electricity at Work Regulations, 1989.
The manufacturer's notes must not be taken, in any way, as
overriding statutory obligations.
The design and construction of the Buderus wall-mounted
condensing gas boiler conforms to the basic specifications
listed in the European directive governing gas-fired appliances 90/396/EEC, and with respect to EN 625, EN 483 and
EN 677.
I
NOTE:
Observe the corresponding technical rules and the
building supervisory and statutory regulations when
installing and operating the system.
WARNING!
Keep the burner-control unit housing CLOSED when
working on water-bearing components.
NOTE:
It is mandatory to clean and service the system once a
year. This includes an inspection of the entire system
to see if it is in full working order. Defects and faults
must be eliminated immediately.
NOTE:
When instructions arent followed, warranty expires.
NOTE:
Condensing boilers work more efficient if the
CH flow/return temperature is as low as possible.
If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed building it should

be fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas Engineering
document IGE/UP/7:1998 and BS 5440:1.
This appliance is rated IP X4D.

The boiler may be installed in any room or internal space,
although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of
the current IEE (BS.7671) Wiring Regulations and, in Scotland, the electrical provisions of the building regulations
applicable in Scotland, with respect to the installation of the
boiler in a room or internal space containing a bath or
shower.
If the appliance is to be installed or serviced in a room
containing a bath or shower then, providing water jets are not
going to be used for cleaning purposes (as in communal
baths/showers), the appliance can be installed or serviced in
Zone 3, as detailed in BS.7671.
Compartment Installations
A compartment used to enclose the boiler should be
designed and constructed especially for this purpose.
An existing cupboard or compartment may be used, provided
that it is modified for the purpose.
In both cases, details of essential features of cupboard/
compartment design, including airing cupboard installation,
are to conform to the following:
BS 6798 (No cupboard ventilation is required - see 'Air
Supply' for details).
It is not necessary to have a purpose-provided air vent in the
room or internal space in which the boiler is installed. Neither
is it necessary to ventilate a cupboard or compartment in
which the boiler is installed, due to the low surface temperatures of the boiler casing during operation; therefore the
requirements of BS 6798, Clause 12, and BS 5440:2 may be
disregarded.
The permanent clearances required are:
in front:
8 mm
below:
21 mm
right side:
8 mm
left side:
8 mm
above:
21 mm
The position selected for installation MUST allow adequate
space for servicing in front of the boiler. See table below:
in front:
below:
right side:
left side:
above:
350 mm
180 mm
8 mm
8 mm
200 mm
In addition, sufficient space may be required to allow lifting

access to the wall mounting bracket.
Wall-mounted condensing gas combi boilers must only be
operated with Buderus purpose made gas systems, which
are certified for this type of boiler.
General
box 4
Observe the relevant standards, regulations and legislation
of the country or region of final use.
A
CAUTION!
Use this boiler for its intended purpose only.
DANGER!
Notes relating to the heating system water.
Thoroughly flush the system before it is filled with
water. Use only untreated water or water treatment
product such as Sentinel X100 to fill and top up the system. For more information about Sentinel call 0151 420
9563.
When using water treatment, only products suitable for
use with Buderus heat exchangers are permitted (e.g.
Sentinel X100). Your warranty is at risk if an incorrect
water treatment product is used in conjunction with this
appliance.
For more information, contact Buderus Technical Product Support Department.
It is most important that the correct concentration of the
water treatment product is maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
If the boiler is used in an existing system any unsuitable additives MUST be removed by thorough cleaning.
BS.7593:1992 details the steps necessary to clean a
domestic central heating system.
In hard water areas, treatment to prevent lime scale
may be necessary - however, the use of artificially softened water is NOT permitted.
Under no circumstances should the boiler be fired
before the system has been thoroughly flushed.
Do not use artificially softened water.
Only plastic pipework containing a polymeric barrier
should be used.
It is allowed to use copper for the first 600 mm.
NOTE:
Notes relating to domestic hot water
z The domestic hot water service must be in
accordance with BS 5546 and BS 6700.
z The boilers are suitable for connection to most types
of washing machine and dishwasher appliances.
z When connecting to suitable showers, ensure that:
a. The shower is capable of accepting mains
pressures and temperatures up to 65 C.
b. The shower is ideally thermostatic or pressure
balancing.
z Where temporary hardness exceeds 150 mg/litre,
it is recommended that a proprietary scale reducing
device is fitted into the boiler cold supply with the
requirements of the local water company.

step 3
Check that the hot water pipe directly beneath the (external) storage-type water heater warms up.
step 4
Does the pipe warm up (to approx. 60 C)?
Yes:
No:
step 5
The cause of this fault does not lie with the boiler, but with the mains water supply. Check to see if the
MCW inlet and DHW outlet have been incorrectly connected to the (external) storage-type water heater.
