Rely on Potterton for energy efficiency Global warming and climate change is an issue that Potterton is actively working to combat. In line with increasingly tough environmental standards we have developed our Promax HE range of boilers to minimise the impact that using them has on the environment.

Why energy efficiency is important Domestic boilers account for about 60% of all the carbon dioxide (CO2) produced domestically in the UK. They also produce nitrogen oxides (NOx), pollutants that cause acid rain and damage the atmosphere’s protective ozone. Our Promax HE Plus 15 and 24kW heat only appliances ensure NOx and CO2 emissions are kept to a minimum. So, every little step that can be taken to reduce emissions will help to protect our environment.

Reduced clearances This range of boilers has been tested and approved for use with certain clearances less than those shown. Horizontal flues in positions D, E, F, G & H (i) may be reduced to 25mm. H(ii) may only be reduced to 115mm. Only one of these reductions may be used on a single installation.

Installation and

Service

1. Unpack appliance and contents. Ensure that all components are in the packaging as listed in the installation instructions.

2. Level and tape the template in the chosen location. Mark the centre of the flue and pipework connections.

3. Fix the wall plate to the wall using the four securing points marked on the template. After cutting the flue hole with a 125mm diameter core drill.

7. Measure and cut the flue terminal to the required length.

8. Engage the flue elbow into the flue. Slide the assembly though the wall, place the flue gasket on the exit of the appliance and secure the flue elbow to the appliance. Secure the flue trim to the outside wall face.

9. Route the electrical cables though the right-hand side of the appliance and secure to the terminals inside the electrical box.

4. Route the condensate dischange pipe to the lower left hand side of the wall plate.

5. Offer the appliance to the wall plate using the lifting points shown in the installation instructions. Locate in the rear bottom edge and push back to locate the latch at the top. Ensure the retaining screw is replaced and the appliance secured safely.

6. Connect the flow, return, gas and condensate pipes to the appliance. Remember to prime the condensate trap with a cup full of water via the flue spigot.

10. After comissioning the appliance as per the installation instructions. Refit the outer case.

11. Instruct the user in the correct operation of the appliance.

12. Complete the benchmark logbook at the back of the installation instructions and hand it to the user along with the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructions.
