Note. Gas consumption is calculated using a
calorific value of 38.7 MJ/m3 (1038 Btu/ft3) gross
or 34.9 MJ/m3 (935 Btu/ft3) nett
To obtain the gas consumption at a different
calorific value:
a. For l/s
- divide the gross heat input
(kW) by the gross C.V. of the gas (MJ/m3)
b. For ft3/h - divide the gross heat input (Btu/h)
by the gross C.V. of the gas (Btu/ft3)
c. For m3/h - multiply l/s by 3.6.

INTRODUCTION
The i-mini range of boilers are wall mounted, full sequence,
automatic spark ignition, low water content, fanned flue, high
efficiency, condensing, combination gas boilers.
Note. Due to the high efficiency of the boiler a plume of water
vapour will form at the terminal during operation.
Central heating (CH) output is fully modulating with a range of:
24
4.8 to 24.2kW (16,500 to 82,600 Btu/h)
30
6.1 to 24.2kW (20,700 to 82,600 Btu/h)
Instantaneous domestic hot water (DHW) output is also fully
modulating with a maximum of :
24
24.2kW (82,600 Btu/h)
30
30.3kW (103,300 Btu/h)
The boiler is supplied fully assembled with DHW plate heat
exchanger, diverter valve, circulating pump, pressure gauge,
safety valve and CH expansion vessel.
Variable CH and DHW temperature controls are fitted on the user
control and the boiler features a DHW preheat facility.
The boiler includes as standard:
-
Automatic bypass
-
Boiler frost protection
-
Daily pump and diverter valve exercise
The boiler casing is of white painted mild steel.
The boiler temperature controls are visible located in the control
panel on the front of the boiler.
The heat exchanger is manufactured from cast aluminium.
The boiler is suitable for connection to fully pumped, sealed
heating systems ONLY. Adequate arrangements for completely
draining the system by provision of drain cocks MUST be provided
in the installation pipework.
Pipework from the boiler is routed downwards.
Data Plate
The boiler model and serial number can be located on the bottom of the
boiler casing, shown in Frame 1 - Water & Gas Connection Diagram.
operation
With no demand for CH, the boiler fires only when DHW is drawn
off, or periodically for a few seconds without any DHW draw-off, in
order to maintain the DHW calorifier in a heated condition. This
only occurs if pre-heat knob is in the ‘ON’ period.
When there is a demand for CH, the heating system is supplied at
the selected temperature of between 45oC and 80oC, until DHW
is drawn off. The full output from the boiler is then directed via
the diverter valve to the plate heat exchanger to supply a nominal
DHW draw-off of
24
9.9 l/min at 35 oC temperature rise.
30
12.4 l/min at 35 oC temperature rise.
The DHW draw off rate specified above is the nominal that the
boiler flow regulator will give. Due to system variations and
seasonal temperature fluctuations DHW flow rates/temperature
rise will vary, requiring adjustment at the draw off tap.
At low DHW draw-off rate the maximum temperature is limited to
64 oC by the modulating gas control.
The boiler features a comprehensive diagnostic system which
gives detailed information on the boiler status when operating,
and performance of key components to aid commissioning and
fault finding.
Safe Handling
This boiler may require 2 or more operatives to move it to its
installation site, remove it from its packaging base and during
movement into its installation location. Manoeuvring the boiler
may include the use of a sack truck and involve lifting, pushing and
pulling.

i-mini - Installation and Servicing
general
GAS SUPPLY
The local gas supplier should be consulted, at the installation
planning stage, in order to establish the availability of an adequate
supply of gas. An existing service pipe must NOT be used without
prior consultation with the local gas supplier.
The boiler MUST be installed on a gas supply with a governed
meter only.
A gas meter can only be connected by the local gas supplier or
by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer. In IE by a Registered Gas
Installer (RGII).
An existing meter should be checked, preferably by the gas
supplier, to ensure that the meter is adequate to deal with the rate
of gas supply required.
It is the responsibility of the Gas Installer to size the gas
Installer to size the gas installation pipework in accordance with
BS6891:2005. Whilst the principle of the 1:1 gas valve ensures
the i-mini range is able to deliver it’s full output at inlet pressures
as low as 14mb, other gas appliances in the property may not be
as tolerant. When operating pressures are found to be below the
minimum meter outlet of 19mb these should be checked to ensure
this is adequate for correct and safe operation.
Allowing for the acceptable pressure loss of 1mb across the
installation pipework, it can be assumed that a minimum permitted
operating pressure of 18mb will be delivered to the inlet of
the appliance. (Reference BS 6400-1 Clause 6.2 Pressure
Absorption).
The external gas cock could further reduce the operating pressure
when measured at its test point. The pressure drop is relative to
the heat input to the boiler (kW), refer to graph below.

Installation pipes must be fitted in accordance with BS.6891. In IE
refer to IS.813:2002.
The complete installation MUST be tested for gas tightness and
purged as described in the above code.
Flue installation
Pluming will occur at the terminal so terminal positions where this
could cause a nuisance should be avoided.
The flue must be installed in accordance with the
recommendations of BS. 5440-1: 2008.
In IE refer to I.S. 813:2002.
The following notes are intended for general guidance:
1. The boiler MUST be installed so that the terminal is exposed
to external air.
2. It is important that the position of the terminal allows the free
passage of air across it at all times.
* Only one reduction down to 25mm is allowable per installation
otherwise BS5440-1 2008 dimensions must be followed.

to which people have access then the terminal MUST be
protected by a purpose designed guard.
Terminal guards are available from boiler suppliers. (Ask for
TFC flue guard model no. K6 - round, plastic coated). In case
of difficulty contact:
TFC Group
Tel. + 44 (0) 01732 351 680
Tower House, Vale Rise
Fax. + 44 (0) 01732 354 445
Tonbridge. Kent TN9 1TB
www.tfc-group.co.uk
Ensure that the guard is fitted centrally.
5. The flue assembly shall be so placed or shielded as to prevent
ignition or damage to any part of any building.
6. The air inlet/products outlet duct and the terminal of the boiler
MUST NOT be closer than 25mm (1”) to combustible material.
Detailed recommendations on the protection of combustible
material are given in BS. 5440-1:2008.
IMPORTANT. It is essential to ensure, in practice, that products
of combustion discharging from the terminal cannot re-enter the
building or buildings through any openings into the building such
as ventilators, windows, doors, or other sources of natural air
infiltration, such as forced ventilation openings etc.
If products of combustion re-entry is identified or suspected this
should be immediately investigated and corrected following the
guidance provided in the current Gas Industry Unsafe Situation
Procedure.
The terminal assembly can be adapted to accommodate various
wall thicknesses. Refer to Frame 1.
i-mini - Installation and Servicing
general
Air supply
It is NOT necessary to have a purpose-provided air vent in the
room or internal space in which the boiler is installed. Neither
is it necessary to ventilate a cupboard or compartment in which
the boiler is installed, due to the low surface temperatures of the
boiler casing during operation; therefore the requirements of BS
6798, Clause 12, and BS 5440:2 may be disregarded.
Water circulation system
Important.
A minimum length of 1 metre of copper pipe MUST be fitted
to both flow and return connections from the boiler before
connection to any plastic piping.
The central heating system should be in accordance with BS.6798
and, in addition, for smallbore and microbore systems, BS.5449.
Water treatment - see Frame 4
Boiler Control Interlocks
Central heating systems controls should be installed to ensure
the boiler is switched off when there is no demand for heating, in
compliance with Building Regulations.
Heating systems utilising full thermostatic radiator valve control
of temperature in individual rooms should also be fitted with a
room thermostat controlling the temperature in a space served by
radiators not fitted with such a valve.
When thermostatic radiator valves are used, the space heating
temperature control over a living / dining area or hallway having
a heating requirement of at least 10% of the minimum boiler heat
output should be achieved using a room thermostat, whilst other
rooms are individually controlled by thermostatic radiator valves.
However, if the system employs thermostatic radiator valves on all
radiators, or two port valves, then a bypass circuit must be fitted
with an automatic bypass valve to ensure a flow of water should
all valves be in the closed position.
Electrical supply
Warning.
This appliance must be earthed.
Wiring external to the appliance MUST be in accordance with
the current I.E.E. (BS.7671) Wiring Regulations and any local
regulations which apply. For IE reference should be made to the
current ETCI rules for electrical installations.
The mains supply to the boiler and system wiring centre shall
be through one common fused double pole isolator and for
new heating systems, and where practical replacement boiler
installations, the isolator shall be situated adjacent to the
appliance.
Condensate drain
Refer to Frames 21, 22 & 37
A condensate drain is provided on the boiler. This drain must be
connected to a drainage point on site. All pipework and fittings in
the condensate drainage system MUST be made of plastic - no
other materials may be used.
Important.
Installation must be in accordance with BS 6798.
The drain outlet on the boiler is sized for standard 21.5mm (3/4”)
overflow pipe. It is a universal fitting to allow use of different
brands of pipework.

boiler dimensions, services & clearances
all dimensions in mm
The boiler connections are made on the boiler bulkhead fittings.
Refer to Frame 23.
The following minimum clearances must be maintained for
operation and servicing.
Additional space will be required for installation, depending upon
site conditions.
Side and Rear Flue
a. Provided that the flue hole is cut accurately, e.g. with a core
drill, the flue can be installed from inside the building where
wall thicknesses do not exceed 600mm (24”). Where the
space into which the boiler is going to be installed is less
than the length of flue required the flue must be fitted from
the outside.
Installation from inside ONLY
b. If a core boring tool is to be used inside the building the
space in which the boiler is to be installed must be at least
wide enough to accommodate the tool.
Front clearance
The minimum front clearance when
built in to a cupboard is 5mm from
the cupboard door but 450mm overall
clearance is still required, with the
cupboard door open, to allow for
servicing.
* Bottom clearance
Bottom clearance after installation
can be reduced to 5mm.
This must be obtained with an
easily removable panel, to enable
the consumer to view the system
pressure gauge, and to provide
the 100mm clearance required for
servicing.
i-mini - Installation and Servicing
general
General
1. The installation must comply with all relevant national and local
regulations.
2. The installation should be designed to work with flow
temperatures of up to 86 oC.
3. All components of the system must be suitable for a working
pressure of 3 bar and temperature of 110 oC. Extra care should
be taken in making all connections so that the risk of leakage
is minimised.
The following components are incorporated within the
appliance:
a. Circulating pump.
b. Safety valve, with a non-adjustable preset lift pressure of
3 bar.
c. Pressure gauge, covering a range of 0 to 4 bar.
d. An 8-litre expansion vessel, with an initial charge pressure
of 0.75 bar.
4. ‘Make-up’ Water. Provision must be made for replacing water
loss from the system, either :
a. From a manually filled ‘make-up’ vessel with a readily
visible water level. The vessel should be mounted at
least 150mm above the highest point of the system and
be connected through a non-return valve to the system,
fitted at least 150mm below the ‘make-up’ vessel on the
return side of the radiators. or
b. Where access to a ‘make-up’ vessel would be difficult, by
pre-pressurisation of the system.
The maximum cold water capacity of the system should
not exceed 143 litres, if not pressurized. However, if
the system is to be pressurized, the efficiency of the
expansion vessel will be reduced and a larger vessel
(or smaller system volume) may be necessary. If the
capacity of the vessel is not considered sufficient for
this, or for any other reason, an additional vessel must
be installed on the return to the boiler.
Guidance on vessel sizing is given in Frame 2.
5. Filling
The system may be filled by the following method:
Where the mains pressure is excessive a pressure reducing
valve must be used to facilitate filling.
a. Thoroughly flush out the whole system with cold water.
b. Fill and vent the system until the pressure gauge
registers 1bar and examine for leaks.
c. Check the operation of the safety valve by raising the
water pressure until the valve lifts. This should occur
within 0.3bar of the preset lift pressure.
d. Release water from the system until the
minimum system design pressure is reached;
1.0 bar if the system is to be pre-pressurised.
Notes
a. The method of filling, refilling, topping up or flushing sealed
primary hot water circuits from the mains via a temporary hose
connection is only allowed if acceptable to the local water
authority.
b. Antifreeze fluid, corrosion and scale inhibitor fluids suitable for
use with boilers having aluminium heat exchangers may be used
in the central heating system.

i-mini - Installation and Servicing
general
The boiler does not normally need a bypass but at least some radiators on the heating circuit, of load of at least 10% of the minimum boiler
output, must be provided with twin lockshield valves so that this minimum heating load is always available. See note regarding thermostatic
radiator valves on page 11.
Note. Systems incorporating zone valves which could completely cut off the flow through the system must also include a bypass.
3
system balancing
Balancing
1. Set the programmer to ON.
Close the manual or thermostatic valves on all radiators, leaving the twin
lockshield valves (on the radiators referred to above) in the open position.
Turn up the room thermostat and adjust the lockshield valve to give an
uninterrupted flow through the radiator. These valves should now be left as set.
4
water treatment
Central Heating
The i-mini range of boilers have an aluminium alloy heat
exchanger.
Important.
The application of any other treatment to this product
may render the guarantee of Ideal Boilers, invalid.
Ideal Boilers, recommend Water Treatment in accordance
with the Benchmark Guidance Notes on Water Treatment in
Central Heating Systems.
If water treatment is used Ideal Boilers recommend only
the use of SCALEMASTER GOLD 100, Fernox, MBI, Adey
MC1, Sentinel X100 or CALMAG GM100 inhibitors and
associated water treatment products, which must be used in
accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions.
Notes.
1. It is most important that the correct concentration of the
water treatment products is maintained in accordance
with the manufacturers’ instructions.
2. If the boiler is installed in an existing system any
unsuitable additives MUST be removed by thorough
cleansing. BS 7593:2006 details the steps necessary to
clean a domestic heating system.
3. In hard water areas, treatment to prevent lime scale may
be necessary - however the use of artificially softened
water is NOT permitted.
4. Under no circumstances should the boiler be fired before
the system has been thoroughly flushed.
Domestic Hot water
In hard water areas where mains water can exceed 200ppm Total
Hardness (as defined by BS 7593:2006 Table 2) a scale reducing device
together with Scalemaster in-line scale inhibitor should be fitted into the
boiler cold supply within the requirements of the local water company.
The use of artificially softened water, however, is not permitted.
Ideal Boilers, recommend the use of Fernox Quantomat, Sentinel
Combiguard and Calmag CalPhos I scale reducing devices, which
must be used in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions.
2. Open all manual or thermostatic radiator valves and
adjust the lockshield valves on the remaining radiators,
to give around 20oC temperature drop at each radiator.
3. Adjust the room thermostat and programmer to
normal settings.
Domestic Hot Water
1. The domestic hot water service must be in accordance with BS
5546 and BS 6700.
2. Refer to Table 1 for minimum and maximum working pressures.
In areas of low mains water pressures the domestic hot water
regulator may be removed from the DHW flow turbine cartridge.
Refer to Frame 69. The boiler will require the flow rate to be set to
obtain a temperature rise of 35oC at the tap furthest from the boiler.
3. The boilers are suitable for connection to most types of washing
machine and dishwasher appliances.
4. When connecting to suitable showers, ensure that:
a.
The cold inlet to the boiler is fitted with an approved anti-
vacuum or syphon non-return valve.
b.
Hot and cold water supplies to the shower are of equal pressure.
5. Hard Water Areas
Where the water hardness exceeds 200mg/litre, it is
recommended that a proprietary scale reducing device is fitted
into the boiler cold supply within the requirements of the local
water company.
Cold water, rising main and pipework in exposed areas need to be
suitably lagged to prevent freezing.
important. Provision must be made to accomodate the expansion
of DHW contained within the appliance. If the DHW inlet contains a
back flow prevention device or non-return valve, e.g. a water meter,
then a mini expansion vessel should be fitted between the device
and the boiler in the cold inlet pipe.
Note. DHW Expansion Vessel Kit available from Ideal Boilers.

15 Cutting & Setting the Flue Length
Cut 75mm off horizontal flue terminal 1000mm long b pack (telescopic)
1. Measure cut flue length (A+44mm). (If required telescopic length is not between
658 and 708 then proceed to “Setting Telescopic Flue B Pack”).
2. Remove telescopic end piece from the flue body and set aside.
3. Mark the circumference 75mm from the open end of the outer flue.
4. Cut along the 75mm mark cutting only the outer flue ensuring the cut is square.
5. Dress the cut end to make sure all burr is removed and the cut edge is in its
original shape.
6. Measure 20mm from the newly cut edge of the outer flue, place a mark at the top of the flue approximately 20mm wide &
write stop the terminal side of the line.
7. Mark the inner tube 10mm longer than the outer tube around its circumference and cut following the mark to ensure its cut
square
8. Remove all burrs and place a chamfer on the outer edge to aid assembly.
9. Re-assemble telescopic section.
Setting Telescopic Flue B Pack
1. Measure the required flue length (A+44mm).
2. Measure from the outer terminal lip to end of outer flue. Pull apart flue until
desired length is achieved. ENSURE THE STOP MARK IS NOT VISIBLE,
IF IT IS, THE FLUE IS TOO SHORT AND SHOULD NOT BE USED.
3. Check that both flue seams are at the top and the outlet terminal is upper
most.
4. Drill a 3.5mm hole through one of the 2 outer side holes in the outer flue
section into the inserted outer flue (as shown). Take care not to pierce the
inner plastic flue. Fit screw provided.
5. Seal the joint on the outer air duct with the tape provided.
6. Fit external wall seal (see installing flue).
Cutting HORIZONTAL FLUE TERMINAL (600MM LONG) B PACK
1. Measure the required cut flue length (A+44mm). If inside the dimensions
shown in Figure 2 “1 Piece 600mm” proceed.
2. Measure from the outer terminal lip to end of outer flue. Mark the
required cut length (A+44) around the circumference of the outer flue and
cut following the mark to ensure its cut square.
3. Dress the cut end to make sure all burr’s are removed and the cut edge
is in its original shape.
4. Mark the inner tube 10mm longer than the outer tube around its
circumference and cut following the mark to ensure its cut square.
5. Remove all burrs and place a light chamfer on the outer edge to aid
assembly.
Telescopic Flues
Telescopic Flue B Pack should only be adjusted for use within its specified range and must NOT
BE CUT
Horizontal Flue Terminal (1000mm long) B Pack (telescopic) must ONLY BE CUT IF REQUIRED FLUE
LENGTHS ARE BETWEEN 602 & 652MM. THIS WILL REQUIRE 75MM TO BE CUT OFF THE TERMINAL END OF THE
1000MM TELESCOPIC FLUE.
ALL OTHER LENGTHS OBTAINED USING “D” PACK EXTENSIONS IN FLUE LENGTH TABLE 1, COLUMN “HORIZONTAL

16 Installing the Flue
Fitting Flue Through the Wall
1. Measure wall thickness and add 14mm.
2. Measure from the outer terminal lip towards the end of outer flue, place a
small location mark at the dimension acquired at point 1.
3. Fit external black wall seal ensuring the inside of the outer lip is in contact
with the terminal lip you have been measuring from (see fig 1)
4. For an internal fit, place flue terminal in the centre of the 5” drilled hole
in the wall. Apply pressure and lightly move the flue left to right or up
and down. This will cause the outer flange to fold in and allow the flue to
pass through the wall.
5. Push through a further 65mm. This will allow the outer flange to return
to its original shape.
6. Pull back the flue until the location mark point 1 is level with the internal
face of the wall.
Note. If the location mark is not visible then the flue is not pulled back
far enough to obtain the correct seal. If the location mark has passed
the face of the wall the flue has been pulled to far back and the outer
wall seal will have been dislodged from its mounting and will need to be
refitted.
7. Ensure the seam and the outlet terminal are at the top and fitted as shown.
Note. If less than 50% of the length of the flue is internal the flue should be
fitted from outside.
Fitting the Turret - Ensure the condense trap/siphon is filled with water
1. Ensure the rubber seal is fitted correctly on the appliance manifold and that all flue seals are undamaged.
2. Hold the flue firmly and push the turret on until it has travelled 30mm on to the flue pipe and is fully engaged. Make sure the
flue has not rotated or moved forward during fitting and the flue seam is upper most.
3. Push the turret into the manifold ensuring the upper plastic lip is flush with the top of the manifold.
4. Fully engage the clamp location section into the manifold location holes. Rotate down on to turret flange.
5. Secure clamp to appliance using securing screw.
6. Ensure all sample points are accessible and all sample plugs and caps are fitted.
Ensure lip of wall seal is positioned
over step on plastic nose of flue terminal
(note, seal is cut away for clarity)

Note.
A flat or pitched roof flashing plate (not supplied) is required before proceeding
with the installation of this kit.
This kit is suitable for both flat and pitched roof terminations, using a concentric
flue to run vertically from the top of the boiler and terminating above roof level.
Connection to the top of the boiler is made
using the supplied vertical connector.
Weather Proofing
Where the flue passes through the roof line
an adequate seal must be made. This is
achieved by using either:
-
Flat roof weather collar
or
-
Universal weather collar.
Accessories
Flue Duct Extension Kits are available for
flue lengths extending beyond 1m. These
packs contain 1m extension ducts and may
be cut to the desired length.

19 Assembling the Roof Flue Kit
Determine the correct height that the flue should terminate above
the roof. If after calculating or measuring the overall flue height
from the top of the boiler, it is necessary to cut both pipes of
assembly A, then ensure they are cut equally leaving the inner
flue tube longer than the outer air tube as supplied.
Ensure the cut pipe ends are free from any burrs.
1. Position the roof flashing plate (supplied separately) over the
hole cut in the roof and insert flue terminal from the roof end.

2. Fit the vertical connector supplied in accordance with the
instructions provided with the vertical connector kit.
3. Secure the vertical connector by applying downward pressure
on the connector.
4. Position the clamp on the top face of the flue manifold and push
it horizontally backwards. Locate both clamp lugs into the flue
manifold and secure to the flue manifold with the M5 retaining
screw.
5. “Push” fit extension duct (if required (supplied separately)) into
vertical connector.
Note. Ensure turret sample points are servicable and all caps and
plugs are fitted. Fill the condense trap/siphon with water.
6. If the last extension duct requires cutting, measure ‘X’, the distance
(outer ducts), between the duct and the terminal and add 100 mm to this
dimension. This gives the length of the last extension duct.
Note. Check the position of the inner flue duct relative to the outer duct on
the assembled extension duct(s) and ensure the terminal flue duct is cut
longer than the air duct to ensure engagement in the final flue duct seal.
7. Finally ensure the roof flashing plate is correctly sealed to the roof.

21 condensate drain
This appliance is fitted with a siphonic 75mm condensate trap
system that requires filling before operating the appliance for the
1st time or after maintenance.
All condensate pipework should conform to the following:
a. Where a new or replacement boiler is being installed, access to
an internal ‘gravity discharge’ termination should be one of the
main factors considered in determining boiler location.
b. Plastic with push fit or solvent connections.
c. Internal plastic pipe work a minimum of 19mm ID (typically
22mm OD)
d. External plastic pipe must be a minimum of 30mm ID (typically
32 OD) before it passes through the sleeved wall.
e. All horizontal pipe runs, must fall a minimum of 45mm per metre
away from the Boiler.
f.
External & unheated pipe work should be kept to a minimum
and insulated with Class “O” waterproof pipe insulation.
g. All installations must be carried out in accordance to the
relevant connection methods as shown in the “Condensate
installation diagrams” & BS6798:2009
h. Pipe work must be installed so that it does not allow spillage
into the dwelling in the event of a blockage (through freezing)
i.
All internal burrs should be removed from the pipe work and any
fittings.
In order to minimise the risk of freezing during prolonged very cold
spells, one of the following methods of terminating condensate
drainage pipe should be adopted.
Internal Drain Connections
Wherever possible, the condensate drainage pipe should be routed
to drain by gravity to a suitable internal foul water discharge point
such as an internal soil and vent stack or kitchen or bathroom
waste pipe etc. See Figs 1 and 2.
Condensate Pump
Where gravity discharge to an internal termination is not physically
possible or where very long internal pipe runs would be required
to reach a suitable discharge point, a condensate pump of a
specification recommended by the boiler or pump manufacturer
should be used terminating into a suitable internal foul water
discharge point such as an internal soil and vent stack or internal
kitchen or bathroom waste pipe etc. (fig 3).
External Drain Connections
The use of an externally run condensate drainage pipe should
only be considered after exhausting all internal termination options
as described previously. An external system must terminate at a
suitable foul water discharge point or purpose designed soak away.
If an external system is chosen then the following measures must
be adopted:
The external pipe run should be kept to a minimum using the most
direct and “most vertical” route possible to the discharge point, with
no horizontal sections in which condensate might collect.
-
For connections to an external soil/vent stack see Fig 4.
Insulation measures as described should be used.
-
When a rainwater downpipe is used, an air break must be
installed between the condensate drainage pipe and the
downpipe to avoid reverse flow of rainwater into the boiler
should the downpipe become flooded or frozen, see Fig 5.
-
Where the condensate drain pipe terminates over an open
foul drain or gully, the pipe should terminate below the grating
level, but above water level, to minimise “wind chill” at the open
end. The use of a drain cover (as used to prevent blockage by
leaves) may offer further prevention from wind chill. See Fig 6.
-
Where the condensate drain pipe terminates in a purpose
designed soak away (see BS 6798) any above ground
condensate drain pipe sections should be run and insulated as
described above. See Fig 7
Unheated Internal Areas
Internal condensate drain pipes run in unheated areas, e.g. lofts
basements and garages, should be treated as external pipe.
Ensure the customer is aware of the effects created by a frozen
condensate and is shown where this information can be found in
the user manual.

Wiring External to the Boiler
The fuse rating should be 3A.
Wiring external to the boiler MUST be in accordance with the current I.E.E.
(BS.7671) Wiring Regulations and any local regulations.
Frost Protection
If parts of the pipework run outside the house or if the boiler will be left off for
more than a day or so then a frost thermostat should be wired into the system.
The frost thermostat should be sited in a cold place but where it can sense heat
from the system.
Note. If the boiler is installed in a garage it may be necessary to fit a pipe
thermostat, preferably on the return pipework.
A mains cable must be connected to a permanent live supply and NOT switched by
thermostats/programmers. To do so follow the instructions below:
1. Remove the front panel. Refer to Frame 39.
2. Swing the control box down into the service position. Refer to frame 45.
3. Route cable through the cable clamp and grommet and tighten to provide cord anchorage.
4. Connect the live, neutral and earth wires to the terminal strip. When making the mains
electrical connections to the boiler it is important that the wires are prepared in such a
way that the earth conductor is longer than the current carrying conductors, such that if
the cord anchorage should slip, the current carrying conductors become taut before the
earthing conductor.
5. Swing the control box back up into the operating position and re-fit the front panel
ensuring a good seal is made.

Benchmark Commissioning and
Servicing Section
It is a requirement that the boiler is installed and commissioned to the
manufacturers instructions and the data fields on the commissioning checklist
completed in full.
To instigate the boiler guarantee the boiler needs to be registered with the
manufacturer within one month of the installation.
To maintain the boiler guarantee it is essential that the boiler is serviced annually
by a Gas Safe registered engineer who has been trained on the boiler installed.
The service details should be recorded on the Benchmark Service Interval
Record and left with the householder.
* All installations in England and Wales must be
to Local Authority Building Control (LABC) either directly or through a
Competent Persons Scheme. A Building Regulations Compliance
will then be issued to the customer.
www.centralheating.co.uk
This Commissioning Checklist is to be completed in full by the competent person who commissioned the boiler as a means of demonstrating
compliance with the appropriate Building Regulations and then handed to the customer to keep for future reference.

FLOWCHART FOR CO LEVEL AND COMBUSTION RATIO
CHECK ON COMMISSIONING A CONDENSING BOILER
Important Preliminary Information on Checks
The air gas ratio valve is factory-set and must not be adjusted DURING COMMISSIONING.
If the boiler requires conversion to operate with a different gas family (e.g. conversion from natural gas to LPG) sepa-
rate guidance is provided with the conversion kit supplied and this must be followed.
PRIOR TO CO LEVEL AND COMBUSTION RATIO CHECK
The installation instructions must have been followed, gas type verified and gas supply pressure / gas rate checked as
required prior to commissioning.
As part of the installation process, ESPECIALLY WHERE A FLUE HAS BEEN FITTED BY PERSONS OTHER THAN
THE BOILER INSTALLER, visually check the integrity of the whole flue system to confirm that all components are
correctly assembled, fixed and supported. Check that maximum flue lengths have not been exceeded and all guidance
has been followed (e.g. Gas Safe Register Technical Bulletin (TB) 008 where chimney/flues are in voids).
The ECGA should be of the correct type, as specified by BS 7967.
Prior to its use, the ECGA should have been maintained and calibrated as specified by the manufacturer. The installer
must have the relevant competence for use of the analyser.
Check and zero the analyser IN FRESH AIR in accordance with the analyser manufacturer’s instructions.
KEY:
CO = carbon monoxide
CO2 = carbon dioxide
O2 = oxygen
Combustion Ratio = The CO reading measured in ppm divided by the CO2 reading first converted to ppm
ppm = parts per million
GS(I&U)R = Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations
*Setting to Minimum Rate:
1. Turn the CH temperature control knob into the 10 O’clock position.
2. Create a CH demand by ensuring that the system controls are requesting heat and the boiler Mode
Knob is in the Winter Position.
3. Within an overall time of 3 seconds, turn the CH temperature control knob fully clockwise, back to
10 O’clock and then fully clockwise again.
4. “S” will be shown on the display and the boiler output will be reduced to minimum
5. The boiler will remain at minimum rate for 5 minutes before reverting to normal operation

Is

Turn off Appliance and Call Ideal Technical Helpline
The appliance must not be commissioned until problems
are identified and resolved. If commissioning cannot be
fully completed, the appliance must be disconnected from
the gas supply in accordance with GS(I&U)R. NOTE:
Check and record CO level and combustion ratio at both
maximum AND minimum rate before contacting Ideal.
Is
CO level less
than 350ppm AND CO/CO2
ratio less than
0.0040?
Set Boiler to Maximum Gas Rate
In accordance with boiler instructions,
set boiler to operate at maximum rate
(full load condition). Allow sufficient
time for combustion to stabilise.
Note. Do not insert analyser probe
during this period to avoid possible
flooding of sensor.
Check CO level and Combustion Ratio
at Maximum Gas Rate
With boiler still set at maximum gas rate,
insert analyser probe into flue gas
sampling point. Allow readings to stabilise
before recording.
Set Boiler to Minimum Gas Rate
(*see opposite page)
In accordance with boiler instructions, set boiler to
operate at minimum rate (to minimum load condition).
Allow sufficient time for combustion to stabilise.
Verify Flue Integrity
Analyser readings indicate that combustion products and inlet air
must be mixing. Further investigation of the flue is therefore required.
Check that flue components are assembled, fixed and supported as
per instructions. Check that flue and flue terminal are not obstructed.
Check that no seals, e.g. Those on flue extensions, have
been displaced during installation. Rectify if necessary.
Turn off appliance and call Ideal Technical Helpline for advice
The appliance must not be commissioned until problems are identified
and resolved. If commissioning cannot be fully completed, the appliance
must be disconnected from the gas supply in accordance with GSIUR.
Carry Out Flue Integrity Check Using Analyser
Insert analyser probe into air inlet test point (where available) and allow
readings to stabilise.
Note. Where no air inlet test point is provided then a flue integrity check with
the analyser is not possible. The installer should verify that flue integrity has
been visually checked in accordance with the “Prior to CO level and
combustion ratio check” (see opposite page) before proceeding to the
“check CO level and combustion ratio at maximum rate” stage below.
Is
O2 more than or
equal to 20.6% OR CO2
less than or equal to

Boiler is Operating Satisfactorily
No further actions required.
Ensure test points are capped, boiler case is correctly replaced and all
other commissioning procedures are completed. Complete Benchmark
Checklist, recording CO and combustion ratio readings as required.
Check CO and Combustion Ratio at Minimum Gas Rate
With boiler set at minimum rate, insert analyser probe into flue
gas sampling point. Allow readings to stabilise before recording.
