Combustion figures

FigureNatural gas (G20)LPG (G31)
CO₂ at high rate
More infoHide infoBoiler at maximum in chimney sweep mode, combustion cover on, measured 10 minutes after firing, at the flue gas sample point. The technical data (MI 13.1) gives NG 9.4% (9.3% in its Low NOx column) and LPG 10.8%, for both sizes.
Between 9.0 and 10.8%Between 10.6 and 11.0%
CO₂ at low rate
More infoHide infoBoiler at minimum in chimney sweep mode, combustion cover on, allowed to stabilise. The technical data (MI 13.1) gives NG 8.6% and LPG 10.2%, after 10 minutes.
A minimum of 0.6 lower than the maximum reading taken but above 8.2%A minimum of 0.3 lower than the maximum reading taken but above 10.2%
Maximum CO
More infoHide infoThe manual doesn’t agree with itself. The commissioning flow chart (MI 6.9, Fig. 68) uses CO < 350 ppm at maximum and minimum. The service tables (MI 9.7, Tables 35 and 36) give <250 ppm at maximum and minimum.

Working inlet pressure
More infoHide infoBoiler at maximum in chimney sweep mode, with heat taken away through the radiators and a hot tap. At the meter: NG 18.5–23 mbar. At the LPG storage: 32–45 mbar. Allowed drops: across the pipework NG 1 mbar, LPG 2.5 mbar; across the appliance 1.5 mbar; LPG storage to regulator 0.5 mbar.

Gas rate at maximum
More infoHide info10 minutes from lighting, from the technical data (MI 13.1). Measure at the meter after at least 10 minutes at maximum in service mode, with all other gas appliances off. Where there’s no meter (e.g. LPG), check CO/CO₂ instead (MI 6.7). The LPG figures are printed with the unit kg/m³, which looks like a misprint in the MI.

Enter service mode for high and low rate

High rate

  1. Hold ok for at least 5 seconds. The chimney sweep symbol shows on the display.
  2. It goes to maximum by itself. Display shows 100% alternating with the flow temperature.

Low rate

  1. Press ▼ for minimum. Display shows the minimum % alternating with the flow temperature.
Ending the test
  • Press ok to come out. It also ends by itself after 30 minutes.
