CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM
During the first few hours of operation of the central heating
system, check that all radiators are being heated at an even rate.
Should the upper area of a radiator be at a lower temperature than the
base of the radiator, it should be vented by releasing air through the
venting screw at the top of each radiator. Make sure your installer
shows you how to carry out the operation. Repeated venting will
reduce the quantity of water in the system and this must be
replenished for safe and satisfactory operation of the appliance.
Should water leaks be found in the system or excessive venting be
required from any radiator, a service engineer should be contacted and
the system corrected.
GENERAL NOTES
The appliance must be fitted to a sealed heating system which is
pre-pressurised. Your installer will advise you on the minimum and
maximum pressure that should be indicated on the pressure gauge.
See Fig. 2. Check regularly that this pressure is maintained and
contact your installer or maintenance engineer if there is a permanent
significant drop in pressure indicated on the gauge. If the system loses
pressure it should be re-pressurised as instructed by the installer (N.B.
Maximum operating pressure 2.5 bar).
