10.4 Initial lighting

note: The combustion for this appliance has been

checked, adjusted and preset at the factory for operation

on natural gas (G20) as defined on the appliance data

label.

Do not adjust the Gas/air ratio valve.

no measurement of the combustion is necessary, having

checked :

● the appliance has been installed in accordance with the

instructions.

● the integrity of the flue system and flue seals.

● the integrity of the appliance combustion circuit and

relevant seals.

● that all internal/external controls are calling for heat.

● the gas service isolation valve, diagram 10.1, is open.

As an option, a chargeable boiler performance and function

service can be provided by Glow-worm Service by calling

telephone No. 01773 828100.

lPG Conversion:

See section 10.10.

noTe

: If you have fitted a Glow-worm Options Board Kit,

please refer to the instructions supplied with the kit for

completion of commissioning.

Do not operate the boiler without water.

Refer to diagram 10.2

1. With no demand from any external controls, switch on the

electrical supply to the boiler.

Open the gas service isolation valve, see diagram 10.1.

2. Select your required function by pressing “ Mode “, scroll

through your options and select one of the following:-

Central heating.

Boiler functions ALL switched off. “OFF”

3. Turn ON your external controls and select the room

temperature required.

The boiler will operate automatically.

noTe: The display will indicate the Heating system water

temperature or a fault code if in a fault condition.

10.5 Check the Gas Inlet Pressure and Gas

Rate

The supply from the governed meter must be of adequate

size to provide a steady inlet working pressure of 20mbar (8in

wg) at the boiler. On completion, test the gas installation for

tightness using the pressure drop method and suitable leak

detection fluid, purge as necessary.

note: Due to the modulating operation of the boiler and

the need to check the gas inlet pressure and measure the

gas rate at maximum rate, it will be necessary to force it to

maximum.

Press the “reset” button on the controls fascia, release

and immediately press and hold in the “+” button. After

approximately 5 seconds “Hi” will be displayed. Pressing

the mode button when “Hi” is selected will force the boiler

to maximum rate, the display will flash between “Hi” and the

“default display” this will indicate the boiler has been forced to

maximum.

Operational Gas Inlet Pressure

With ALL other gas appliances operating, check the

operational supply pressure at the gas service isolation valve

test point, see diagram 10.1.

The nominal supply pressure for Natural Gas (G20) is 20mbar.

The nominal supply pressure for LPG (G31) is 37mbar.

Turn the taps and appliances off, then disconnect the pressure

gauge.

Additionally the safe nominal maximum heat input of the

appliance can be achieved at an inlet pressure down to

15mbar.
note:

The

bURneR PReSSURe cannot be measured and

is not used to measure the gas rate.

Gas Rate

Make sure that ALL other gas burning appliances and pilot

lights are off.

Check the gas rate using the gas meter test dial and stop

watch, at least 10 minutes after the burner has lit, see table

below for approximate rates.

In communal or LPG installations where the gas rate cannot

be measured it is acceptable to measure the combustion rate

as described in the servicing section.

On completion, press the “mode” and “+” buttons

simultaneously, this will reset the boiler.
