Introduction
1. Your Potterton Performa 24 Eco HE is a gas fired,
room sealed, powered flue condensing combination
boiler, providing central heating for your home and
mains fed domestic hot water to taps and shower. It
is fully automatic and does not have a pilot light.
2. Priority is given to the hot water mode - when a hot
water tap is turned on the supply of heat to the
central heating circuit is interrupted.
3. Due to the high efficiency and resultant low flue
gas temperature when in condensing mode a white
plume of condensate will be emitted from the
terminal. This will be particularly evident during
periods of low outside temperature.
Operating the Boiler
1. Ensure that the electricity and gas supplies are
turned on. Check that the central heating pressure is
between 0.5 and 1.0 bar (Fig. 3).
2. Turn the On/Off/Reset selector switch either anti-
clockwise from the off position (Fig. 5) to both central
heating and domestic hot water or clockwise to
domestic hot water only.
3. In either position the green “power” neon ( ) will
illuminate (Fig. 4).
4. Position (i) In this position the central heating will
operate according to demand or provide domestic hot
water when a tap or shower is turned on (Fig. 6).
Priority is given to domestic hot water.
5. Position (ii) In this position hot water will be
provided when a tap or shower is turned on (Fig. 7).
6. The boiler will light automatically on demand.
7. The orange “burner” neon ( ) will illuminate
when the boiler is operating and the main burner is
on (Fig. 4).
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).
