(e) Your boiler will now commence a start sequence, in which a
pre-ignition period of approximately 15 seconds is followed by
a supply of atomised oil being introduced into the combustion
chamber. Ignition then occurs, followed by a post-ignition
period of approximately 20 seconds.
(f) Your boiler is now in a steady run condition and will remain so
until the water temperature reaches the temperature set on the
control thermostat. At this point the burner will stop and the
boiler will shut down. The sequence will continue until the
boiler is programmed – either manually or by an automatic
programmer – for a period of shutdown.
During normal operation your boiler can be switched off at the
programmer, where fitted, or at the control switch provided by your
installer. When the heating system is not being used during the
winter period your boiler should be protected by a frost thermostat.
Consult your installer if you are unsure! If a frost thermostat is not
fitted, set the temperature control knob to the first indicating mark
and leave the boiler running on low output.
To switch off your boiler for long periods, turn off the mains
electricity at the isolator switch and, during periods of cold weather,
drain the heating system.
