CO₂ at high rate
More infoHide infoMaximum CH output, as checked in chimney sweep mode with the CH knob at maximum and the front case fitted. The MI also gives CO₂ at maximum DHW output (99%, one of the three levels set in the CO₂ set up procedure): NG 26CE, 30CE 9.2% ± 0.8%, 35CE 9.5% ± 0.8%; LPG 26CE, 30CE 10.2% ± 1%, 35CE 10.5% ± 1%.

CO₂ at low rate
More infoHide infoMinimum output. In chimney sweep mode, wait for the self-diagnosis symbol to stop flashing before reading. The LPG table prints 10.0 for the 26CE and 10 for the 30CE and 35CE. The MI also gives CO₂ at medium output (ignition), checked in chimney sweep mode with the display at 70 (26CE), 58 (30CE) or 54 (35CE): NG 9.0% ± 0.8% all sizes; LPG 26CE, 30CE 10.7% ± 1%, 35CE 10% ± 1%.

Enter service mode for high and low rate

High rate

  1. With no heating or hot water demand, hold RESET for 8 seconds. The parasol and snowman symbols flash together.
  2. Turn the central heating knob to maximum. Display shows 99.
  3. If a Climatic controller is fitted it shows ERR>07. That’s not a fault.

Low rate

  1. Turn the central heating knob to minimum. Display shows 00.
  2. For the medium (ignition) check, turn the knob until the display shows 70 (26CE), 58 (30CE) or 54 (35CE).
Ending the test
  • Ends by itself after 15 minutes, or hold the On-Off/Standby button to turn the boiler off.
