valve, see diagram 11.1. Check the supply pressure at the
pressure test point is 20mbar.
Commissioning should only be carried out by a
competent
person approved at the time by the Health and Safety
Executive.
11.6 Initial Lighting
NOTE: Ensure that initial lighting of the appliance takes
place with the front casing door removed and the control

As an option, a chargeable boiler performance and function
service can be provided by Glow-worm Service by calling
telephone No. 01773 828100.
It is a requirement to measure and record the CO value and
CO/CO2 ratio. Guidance on measuring the values can be
documented in the Benchmark log book at the very back of this
manual.

bar
and then pressing the - (minus) SELECTOR
button.
The display will now permanently show system pressure.
5. Open the two filling taps marked ‘D’ by rotating them
through 90
O
to fill the heating system to a pressure of

6. Vent all air from the system - repeat step 5 as neccessary
until the system is full and all the air has been removed.
7. After filling is complete set the Central Heating
temperature and the Domestic Hot Water temperature
to the desired level using the MODE and + (plus)
SELECTOR buttons as described above.
8. To comply with the water regulations the flexible hose
must be disconnected from the double check valve - undo
the knurled nut marked ‘E’ and pull the flexible hose from
