Introduction The i-mini is a wall mounted, room sealed, condensing combination boiler, featuring full sequence automatic spark ignition and fan assisted combustion. Due to the high efficiency of the boiler, condensate is produced from the flue gases and this is drained to a suitable disposal point through a plastic waste pipe at the base of the boiler. A condensate ‘plume’ will also be visible at the flue terminal. The i-mini is a combination boiler providing both central heating and instantaneous domestic hot water. Safety Current Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations or rules in force. In your own interest, and that of safety, it is the law that this boiler must be installed by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer, in accordance with the above regulations. In IE, the installation must be carried out by a Registered Gas Installer (RGII) and installed in accordance with the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas Installations”, the current Building Regulations and reference should be made to the current ETCI rules for electrical installation.

BOILER RESET PROCEDURE - To reset boiler, turn mode control knob to reset position and immediately turn knob back to required setting.

Legend A. Pre-heat On/Off B. DHW Temperature Control C. CH Temperature Control 1 BOILER controls Operation Winter conditions - i.e. CH and DHW required. Ensure the mode knob control (D) is set to winter ( ) The boiler will fire and supply heat to the radiators but will give priority to DHW on demand. The DHW preheat will operate as described under ‘Summer conditions’ during periods when there is no call for CH. Summer conditions - i.e. DHW only required. Set the mode knob control to Summer ( ). Set the CH external controls to OFF. Preheat will operate with the preheat switch (A) set to ON. The boiler will fire periodically for a few seconds to maintain the DHW calorifier in a preheated condition. The average time period between firing is 90 minutes. This may vary considerably due to the surrounding ambient temperature of the boiler. The boiler will fire whenever there is a demand for DHW. The boiler preheat facility can be immobilised by turning the preheat switch (A) to OFF. This will stop the boiler operating for short periods. This facility is primarily provided for boiler installations in a sensitive area (i.e. bedroom etc.) Note. The pump will operate briefly as a self-check once every 24 hours, regardless of system demand. Control of water temperature Domestic Hot Water The DHW temperature is limited by the boiler controls to 64oC maximum at low draw-off rate, adjustable via the DHW temperature control (B). Due to system variations and seasonal temperature fluctuations DHW flow rates/temperature rise will vary, requiring adjustment at the draw off tap : the lower the rate the higher the temperature, and vice versa. Central Heating The boiler controls the central heating radiator temperature to a maximum of 80 oC, adjustable via the CH temperature control (C). The i-mini is a high efficiency combination boiler which is most efficient when operating in condensing mode. The boiler will operate in this mode if the CH temperature control (C) is set to the ‘e’ position (economy mode). This control should be set to maximum for very cold periods To shut down the boiler Set the mode knob control to OFF To relight the boiler Repeat the procedure detailed in ‘To light the boiler’. Frost protection If no system frost protection is provided and frost is likely during a short absence from home, leave the heating controls (if fitted) at a reduced temperature setting. For longer periods, the entire system should be drained. If the system includes a frost thermostat then, during cold weather, the boiler should be turned OFF at the time switch (if fitted) ONLY. The mains supply should be left switched ON, with the boiler thermostat left in the normal running position. Boiler Overheat Protection The boiler controls will shut down the boiler in the event of overheating. Should this occur, a fault code will be displayed. Refer to fault chart. Flame Failure Should this occur a fault code will be displayed. Refer to fault chart.

Condensate Drain This appliance is fitted with a siphonic condensate trap system that reduces the risk of the appliance condensate from freezing. However should the condensate pipe to this appliance freeze, please follow these instructions: a. If you do not feel competent to carry out the defrosting instructions below please call your local Gas Safe Registered installer for assistance. b. If you do feel competent to carry out the following instructions please do so with care when handling hot utensils. Do not attempt to thaw pipework above ground level. If this appliance develops a blockage in its condensate pipe, its condensate will build up to a point where it will make a gurgling noise prior to locking out an “L2” fault code. If the appliance is reset it will make a gurgling noise prior to it locking out on a failed ignition “L2” code. To unblock a frozen condensate pipe; 1. Follow the routing of the plastic pipe from its exit point on the appliance, through its route to its termination point. Locate the frozen blockage. It is likely that the pipe is frozen at the most exposed point external to the building or where there is some obstruction to flow. This could be at the open end of the pipe, at a bend or elbow, or where there is a dip in the pipe in which condensate can collect. The location of the blockage should be identified as closely as possible before taking further action. 2. Apply a hot water bottle, microwaveable heat pack or a warm damp cloth to the frozen blockage area. Several applications may have to be made before it fully defrosts. Warm water can also be poured onto the pipe from a watering can or similar. DO NOT use boiling water. 3. Caution when using warm water as this may freeze and cause other localised hazards. 4. Once the blockage is removed and the condensate can flow freely, reset the appliance. (Refer to “To Light the boiler”) 5. If the appliance fails to ignite, call your Gas Safe Registered engineer. Preventative solutions During cold weather, set the boiler stat to maximum, (Must return to original setting once cold spell is over) Place the heating on continuous and turn the room stat down to 15ºC overnight or when unoccupied. (Return to normal after cold spell). Escape of gas Should a gas leak or fault be suspected contact the National Gas Emergency Service without delay. Telephone 0800 111 999 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, wipe with a damp cloth and finish off with a dry cloth. DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials. Maintenance The appliance should be serviced at least once a year by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer or in IE a Registered Gas Installer (RGII). Loss of system water pressure The gauge (G) indicates the central heating system pressure. If the pressure is seen to fall below the original installation pressure of 1-2 bar over a period of time then a water leak may be indicated. In this event the re-pressurise the boiler. If unable to do so or if the pressure continues to drop a Gas Safe Registered Engineer or in IE a Registered Gas Installer (RGII) should be consulted. THE BOILER WILL not OPERATE if the pressure has reduced to LESS THAN 0.3 BAR UNDER THIS CONDITION. 3 3G9933 5 PRESSURE GAUGE
