Maximum CO
More infoHide infoThe MI contradicts itself: the service settings table (7.4.4) gives CO max <400 ppm, but the combustion procedure chart (Fig.52) says CO must be under 350 ppm at maximum and minimum rate, or turn the appliance off.

Working inlet pressure
More infoHide infoBoiler at maximum rate (chimney sweep). At the meter: 19–23 mbar (Fig.44, which doesn’t name the gas type). The text says the pressure at the gas inlet test point must be at least 18 mbar for NG or 37 mbar for LPG. Pressure drop across system pipework ≤ 1 mbar. Supply pressure in the gas category table: NG 20 mbar, LPG 37 mbar.
