3.0 Appliance Operation
8
3.3 Domestic Hot Water Mode (Fig. 4)
1. Priority is given to the domestic hot water supply. A
demand at a tap or shower will override any central
heating requirement.
2. The flow of water will operate the DHW flow switch
which requests the 3 way valve to change position. This
will allow the pump to circulate the primary water
through the DHW plate heat exchanger and take the
stored water to give instant hot water.
3. The burner will light automatically and the
temperature of the domestic hot water is controlled by
the temperature sensor.
4. When the domestic hot water demand ceases the
burner will extinguish and the diverter valve will remain
in the domestic hot water mode, unless there is a
demand for central heating.
5. If there is no other demand the pre-heat function will
operate if switched on (see Section 3.2)
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).
3.4 Frost Protection Mode
1. The frost protection mode is integral to the appliance
and functions only with the selector switch (see Section
2.1) in the domestic hot water and central heating
position. If the system temperature falls below 5° C then
the boiler will fire on its minimum setting until a flow
temperature of 30° C is reached. Further protection can
be incorporated by using a system frost thermostat.
3.5 Pump Protection
1. With the selector switch (see Section 2.1) in either the
central heating or central heating and hot water position
the pump will automatically operate for 1 minute in
every 24 hours to prevent sticking.
