Your installer will
have provided adequate
space around the appliance
for safety and servicing. Do
not restrict this space by
the addition of cupboards,
shelves etc. close to the
appliance.
Minimum clearances in millimetres.
NOTE: If the appliance is to be enclosed after the
installation then the instructions given in Section 6, Air
Supply, of the Installation Book MUST be followed.
ROOM THERMOSTAT
A room thermostat may be fitted for control of the central heating
temperature. It will be located in one room of the home. The method
of setting a room thermostat varies with the type and manufacture.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the room thermostat.
THERMOSTATIC RADIATOR VALVES
If thermostatic radiator valves are to be fitted to the system then
they must conform to the requirements of BS2767:1972. It is advisable
to leave one valve permanently set at maximum to prevent the boiler
short cycling.
SHOWERS, BIDETS, TAPS AND MIXING
VALVES
Standard hot and cold taps and mixing valves used with the
appliance must be suitable for operating at mains pressure.
Thermostatically controlled shower valves will guard against the flow
of water at too high a temperature.
If using a pressure equalising valve, set the Domestic Hot Water
temperature control knob to the ‘MAX’ position.
Hot and cold mains fed water can be supplied direct to an
overrim flushing bidet subject to local water company requirements.
With all mains fed systems the flow of water from the individual
taps will vary with the number of outlets operated simultaneously
and the cold water mains supply pressure to the property. Flow
balancing using ‘Ball-o-Fix’ type valves is recommended to avoid an
excessive reduction in flow to individual outlets.
For further information contact Worcester Heat Systems
Technical Helpline.
HOT AND COLD FLOW
If the flow of water demanded from both hot and cold service
outlets is dependent upon mains supply, it may not be possible in
some installations to operate all outlets simultaneously.
WATER MAINS FAILURE
It is important to note that in the event of a mains water supply
failure, no tap water will be available until the mains supply is
restored. The appliance can still be used for heating provided that the
system is of the sealed system type.
