Glow-worm Micron 40FF - Manual (Page 3)

3 221911E
Introduction
Please read these instructions and follow them carefully for the
safe and economical use of your boiler.
The Micron series are fanned flue boilers designed to provide
central heating and indirect domestic hot water.
The boiler is fully automatic in operation having only one user
control, the temperature control.
WARNING: It is important that the case is not disturbed or
removed other than for servicing by a competent person.
Gas Leak or Fault
Turn off the gas emergency control valve immediately. Eliminate
all sources of ignition, i.e. smoking, blowlamps, hot air guns etc.
Do not operate electrical lights or switches either on or off. Open
all doors and windows, ventilate the area.
Electrical Supply Failure
Failure of the electrical supply will cause the burner to go out.
Should this occur, operation of the appliance will normally
resume after the electrical supply is restored.
NOTE: If the boiler is switched OFF, manually, wait at least 30
seconds before switching on again.
Safety Temperature Limiter
If the overheat Safety Temperature Limiter operates as indicated
by illuminated reset light, open the controls cover and turn
temperature control to “0” (anticlockwise) and then back to
original position, refer to diagram 9.1. If the overheat operates
again, turn the appliance off and contact your installation/
servicing company.
Protection Against Freezing.
If the boiler is to be out of use for any long period of time during
severe weather conditions we recommend that the whole of the
system, including the boiler, be drained off to avoid the risk of
freezing up. Make sure that, if fitted, the immersion heater in the
cylinder is switched off. Alternatively, there is a built-in frost
protection which will cause the boiler when it is switched off at
the control knob to operate in the event of the water temperature
in the boiler dropping to 6
o C or 7 o C. The boiler will switch off
again when the temperature of the water in the boiler reaches
about 15
o C. This will only protect the central heating system if
the external controls are set so that the pump runs continuously,
that is they are calling for heat.
NOTE: The frost protection will not operate if the electrical
supply is turned off.
Maintenance
To ensure the continued efficient and safe operation of the
boiler it is recommended that it is checked and serviced as
necessary at regular intervals. The frequency of servicing will
depend upon the particular installation conditions and usage,
but in general once a year should be enough.
If this appliance is installed in a rented property in the UK there
is a duty of care imposed on the owner of the property by the
current issue of The Gas Safety (Installation and Use)
Regulations, Section 35.
It is the law that any servicing is carried out by a competent
person.
To obtain service, please call your installer or Glow-worm’s own
Service Organisation using the telephone number given on the
front cover of these instructions.
Please be advised that the ‘Benchmark’ logbook should be
completed by the installation engineer on completion of
commissioning and servicing.

Cleaning
WARNING: This appliance contains metal parts (components)
and care should be taken when handling and cleaning, with
particular regard to edges.
Clean the casing occasionally by wiping it over with a damp
cloth or dry polishing duster.
Do not use an abrasive cleaner.
To Turn the Boiler On
Do not operate the boiler wthout water.
SEALED SYSTEMS (only)
The pressure gauge should show at least 0.7bar, anything less
than this figure could indicate a leak and you MUST contact your
installation/servicing company.
ALL SYSTEMS
Turn the electrical supply on to the boiler and check that all
remote controls are calling for heat.
Open the controls cover, see diagram 9.1.
Check also that the programmer (if fitted) is in the “ON” mode.
Turn the control knob clockwise to any position between "O"
and MAX. The maximum temperature setting is approx. 82
O C
(180 O F), see diagram 9.1.
The boiler lighting operation is now automatic as follows:
The fan will operate for a short period prior to the start of the
ignition sparks. The gas valve solenoids will open and the
burner will light. This is shown by the "Burner Lit" LED on the
control panel lighting up.
The burner will remain alight until switched off by the control
thermostat, any remote control or the programmer.
NOTE: If the boiler is switched OFF, by hand, wait at least 30
seconds before switching on again.
When the boiler switches off, the boiler will go out.
The automatic lighting sequence will operate again when heat
is required.
Shut the controls cover.
It should be noted that this is a fan flue appliance and fan
operation may be heard.
To Turn the Boiler Off
For short periods, turn the control knob anti-clockwise to “0” Off.
To relight, turn the control knob to any position between “0” and
“MAX”.
For longer periods, turn the control knob fully anti-clockwise to
“0” Off and switch off the electrical supply to the boiler.
To relight follow the lighting sequence given above.
Optional Programmer
A programmer is available, which will automatically switch your
central heating system on and off once or twice a day at
whatever times you choose.
