Response 80 / 100 / 120 - User's
Response: The combi boiler
The Ideal Response is a wall mounted, fanned flue combination boiler
which serves a home's central heating system and delivers hot water on
demand. It has been designed to be 'friendly' to the user, installer and
service engineer.
Response: The fit anywhere combi
Simple fanned 'go anywhere' flue
The Response's flue turret simply rotates through 360° to allow horizontal
outlet in any direction. Options include horizontal flue length extensions
or simple vertical flue kits - and the flue is self-sealing, eliminating the
need for outside assembly - an important benefit in high-rise applications.
Downward or upward connections...
Water and gas connections have been designed to be as simple and fast
as possible. The Ideal Response comes complete with a rugged mounting
frame which can accommodate downward or upward routed gas, water
and electrical connections before the boiler is fitted.
...and it fits inside a cupboard
Its compact size - up to half that of other combis - makes the Response
ideal for any kitchen. It can be installed inside a standard size kitchen
wall unit without insulation and with minimal ventilation.
Response: The combi you can rely on
The Response has been designed and developed with reliability as the
number one priority. But even the finest engineered product may develop
a fault at some stage in its lifetime. To support the Response we've created
the Ideal Care Guarantee which sets out our target to repair any fault
next day.
Free Guarantee: 1st Year Ideal Care
The home owner is entitled to 12 months free Ideal Care, which includes
both parts and labour, to restore the boiler to full function. Please
encourage the home owner to complete and return the registration form
in their Householder's pack within 30 days of installation.
Optional Extra Year Cover with Ideal Care
You may wish to offer your own annual service plan or you may wish to
advise the home owner to complete their application form for the
appropriate level of extended Ideal Care - Silver, Gold or Platinum. Full
details are available in the Ideal Care brochure.

Safety
Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1994,
Amendments 1996 or rules in force.
In your own interest, and that of safety, it is the law that this boiler
must be installed by a CORGI registered installer, in accordance
with the above regulations.
It is essential that the instructions in this booklet are strictly
followed, for safe and economical operation of the boiler.
Tampering with sealed components or incorrect use of the
boiler will invalidate the boiler guarantee.
CAUTION.
To avoid the possibility of injury during the installation, servicing or
cleaning of this appliance care should be taken when handling
edges of sheet steel components.
Electricity Supply
This appliance must be connected to the supply via a double-pole
switch, fused at 3 A.
Minimum Clearances
The minimum clearances given below must be complied with in
order to maintain the safe running of the boiler and to facilitate
servicing.
Above the turret -
50 mm
(2")
At each side of the boiler -
5 mm
(1/4")
Underneath the boiler casing:
in use -
10 mm
(3/8")
for service -
150 mm
(6")
Front of the boiler:
in use -
5 mm
(1/4")
for service -
450 mm
(18")
IMPORTANT NOTES
1.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE OPERATED WITHOUT
THE INNER FRONT SEALING PANEL BEING CORRECTLY FITTED.
2. Compartment Installations
If the boiler is installed in a compartment then the compartment
MUST NOT be used for storage purposes.
Ventilation provided for boilers installed in compartments MUST
NOT be blocked, and a check should be made periodically
that the ventilation areas are free from any obstruction.
3. If it is known or suspected that a fault exists on the boiler then
it MUST NOT BE USED until the fault has been corrected by a
CORGI registered installer.
Escape of gas
Should a gas leak or fault be suspected contact your local gas
supplier without delay.
Do NOT search for gas leaks with a naked flame.
Cleaning
For normal cleaning simply dust with a dry cloth.
To remove stubborn marks and stains use a damp cloth and
mild detergent.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials.
Maintenance
The appliance should be serviced at least once a year by a CORGI
registered installer.
IMPORTANT. DRAINING THE SYSTEM
It is not good practice to drain off radiators to decorate behind
them. In the case of sealed system boilers, such as this Response,
this will lower the system pressure AND MAY CAUSE THE BOILER
TO STOP WORKING.
Control of water temperature
DOMESTIC HOT WATER
The domestic hot water draw-off temperature is normally limited
by the modulating gas control to approximately 60
oC at the
minimum water draw-off rate of about 3.5 litre/min. (0.75 g.p.m.).
Additionally, the draw-off temperature is controlled by adjusting
the flow rate at the tap - the higher the draw-off rate, the lower the
temperature.
CAUTION
In common with most combi boilers, the Response can
produce water at over 800C when serving central heating. If,
therefore, you run a hot tap when the boiler has been heating
the radiators, the first pint or so flowing from the boiler to the
hot taps could be uncomfortably hot.
Always run hot water into the sink or basin first - DO NOT
PUT YOUR HANDS under a running tap if the boiler was
already hot.
Central Heating
The boiler modulating control automatically maintains the central
heating radiator temperature between 85
oC and 70
oC via the
variable central heating temperature control (F).
If your system includes a room thermostat the CH temperature
control (F) may be left in its maximum position.
If your household includes very young or elderly people you may,
however, reduce this setting, for safety reasons.
To light the boiler (see illustration right)
Summer Conditions - Domestic Hot Water Only
1. Set the mains switch (C) to 'ON'.
2. Set the heating switch (D) to 'OFF'.
Whenever domestic hot water is drawn off, the boiler will fire to
provide instantaneous hot water at the tap.
Winter Conditions - Central Heating & Domestic Hot Water
1. Set the mains switch (C) to 'ON'.
2. Set the heating switch (D) to 'ON' and external controls button
to ON.
The boiler will fire and supply heat to the radiators but will give
priority to domestic hot water when required.

EACH SERVICE AND KEPT WITH THESE

Check that the overheat thermostat has not tripped -
press button (H) to reset.
If these simple checks fail to solve the problem, or the
problem recurs, consult your service engineer.
B. Hot water but no heating
Check that the programmer and room thermostat (if fitted)
are both calling for heat.
If the boiler has been switched off completely for some
time the pump may have stuck (if hot water is in use this
should not happen as the pump runs for 5 seconds at the
end of each hot water draw-off). A sharp tap on the metal
body of the pump may free it.
If these simple checks fail to solve the problem, or the problem
recurs, consult your service engineer.
C. Heating but no hot water
Check that cold water does flow out of the hot taps at a
minimum rate of 3.5 litres per minute (or 1 pint in 10
seconds or less).
If not, look for stop valves not fully open.
If these simple checks fail to solve the problem, or the problem
recurs, consult your service engineer.
D. Hot water temperature incorrect
If the supply of hot water from the appliance is incorrect
with the domestic hot water tap fully open then the
Response boiler includes a domestic hot water restrictor
handle for you to adjust the water flow rate to obtain the
temperature you require. The restrictor handle is located
beneath the boiler on the left.
BOILER CONTROLS
To shut down the boiler
Set the mains switch (C) to OFF.
When heating is again required, restore the switch to the ON
position.
WARNING.
If no frost protection is provided and frost is likely during a short
absence from home, leave the heating controls (or control (F) )
at a reduced temperature setting.
For longer periods, the entire system should be drained -
including the domestic water supply .
If the system includes a frost thermostat then, during cold
weather, the boiler should be turned OFF by selecting the OFF
programme at the time control.
The mains supply should be left switched ON.
If in doubt, ask your installer.
To relight the boiler
Repeat the procedure detailed in 'To light the boiler'.
Faults
A. No heating or hot water
Check that gas and electricity are available at the boiler and
that all switches are on.
Check that the system water pressure gauge (G) reads at
least 0.5 bar.
Rotate the restrictor handle anti-clockwise
to increase temperature and clockwise to
decrease temperature as indicated on the
handle.

Note.

If these simple checks fail to solve the problem, or the
problem recurs, consult your service engineer.
