Installation and Servicing ecoTEC plus61.4.13 Protection against freezingThe boiler has a built in frost protection programme aslong as the electricity and gas are left switched on.This device operates the burner and system pumpwhen the temperature inside the boiler falls to 3°C.Any other exposed areas of the system should beprotected by a separate frost thermostat.If the mains electricity and gas are to be turned off forany long periods during severe weather, it isrecommended that the whole system, including theboiler, should be drained to avoid the risk of freezing.Make sure that, if fitted, the immersion heater in thecylinder is switched off.If you have a sealed water system contact yourinstallation/ servicing company as draining, refillingand pressurising MUST be carried out by a competentperson.As a safety feature the boiler will stop working if thecondensate drain becomes blocked. During freezingconditions this may be due to the forming of ice in thecondense drain external to the house. Release an iceblockage by the use of warm cloths on the pipe. Theboiler should then restart. Contact your installation/servicing company if the fault persists.1.4.14 Boilers installed in a compartment orcupboardIf the boiler is fitted into a compartment or cupboard itdoes not require ventilation openings.Do not use the compartment or cupboard for storage.1.4.15 Boiler casingDo not remove or adjust the casing in any way, asincorrect-fitting may result in incorrect operation orfailure to operate at all.1.4.16 Condensate drainThe condensate drain must not be modified or blocked.1.4 .17 Pluming from flue terminalAll condensing boilers produce a plume of watervapour from the flue terminal.
