2 Appliance description
2.1
Safety devices
2.1.1
Overheating safety
The appliance is designed to recognise the potential for an
overheat lockout and will shutdown before this happens.
2.1.2
Safety discharge valve
A safety discharge valve and discharge pipe are fitted to the
boiler. This valve must not be touched.
- The heating safety valve opens when the pressure in the
heating circuit exceeds 3 bars.
• Should there be any discharge from the pipe, isolate the boiler
electrical supply and call your installer or Glow-worm’s own
service organisation.
2.1.3
frost protection
The frost protection system operates the pump to start as soon
as the temperature in the heating circuit falls below 12°C. The
pump stops as soon as the temperature of the water contained
in the heating circuit reaches 15°C. If the temperature in the
heating system falls below 7°C, the burner ignites until it reaches
35°C. The frost-protection system is active when the appliance is
switched on. The system alone cannot ensure that the installation
is protected against frost. An separate frost thermostat is
necessary to control the temperature of the system.
a
DANGER:
Your domestic water circuit (hot or cold) is not protected
by the boiler.
2.1.4
Condensate drain blockage
During freezing conditions this may be due to the forming of ice
in the condense drain external to the house. In this case, a safety
device shuts down the appliance.
