Carry out electrical safety checks (see section‘Preliminary Electrical Checks’).2. Check that the external electricity supply to the boileris on, and a supply of 230 V~ is present between boilerterminals ‘L’ and ‘N’.3. Check that the gas supply to the boiler is on, that ithas been correctly purged and that an inlet pressureof 20 mbar is available at the gas valve. (See section‘Gas Supply’).4. Ensure the heating system is full of water and chargedto between 1 and 1.5 bar. If not, refill and vent the sys-tem. (See section ‘Filling the heating system’). Ensureboiler flow and return service valves are open.5. Check that the main on/off control is set to the ‘on’position.6. Set the central heating temperature to maximum.7. Set the domestic hot water temperature to maximum(combination boilers only).8.Check that all external controls are on and calling forheat (if no external controls are fitted, boiler terminals3 and 4 must be linked). Check that the boiler anti–cycling economiser is not engaged.7 Inspection and maintenance8 Troubleshooting
