The Gas Safety (Installation and Use)

Regulations

In your interests and that of gas safety it is the Law that ALL gas
appliances are installed by a competent person in accordance
with the current issue of the above regulations.

Maintenance

To ensure the continued efficient and safe operation of the boiler
it is recommended that it is checked and serviced at regular
intervals. The frequency of servicing will depend upon the particular
installation and usage, but in general once a year should be
enough.

To obtain service, please call your installer, or Heatcall (Glow-
worm’s own service organisation) using the telephone number
given on the controls tray.

If the appliance is installed in a rented property there is a duty of
care imposed on the owner of the property by the current issue of

It is the Law that servicing is carried out by a competent person.

Gas Leak or Fault

If a gas leak or fault exists or is suspected the boiler must be turned
off also the electrical supply. Advice/help should be obtained from
your installation/servicing company or the local gas company.

Protection Against Freezing

If the boiler is to be out of use for any long period of time during
severe weather conditions we recommend that the whole of the
system, including the boiler be drained off to avoid the risk of
freezing up. If an immersion heater is fitted in the domestic hot
water cylinder make sure that it is switched off.

If you have a sealed water system you should contact your
installer/servicing company as a sealed water system should only
be drained, refilled and pressurised by a competent person.

Boiler Clearance

The boiler must be positioned so that at least the minimum
operational and servicing clearances are provided, see diagram
1.

If fixtures are positioned close to the boiler they should be made
removable for access to pipework.

Enough space must be left in front of the boiler for servicing.

Boiler in a Compartment

If the boiler is fitted in a compartment or cupboard, purpose built
ventilation must be provided and kept clear.

Do not use the enclosed space for storage.

Boiler Identification

The type of boiler and its output can be checked against the
details inside the controls cover.

Overheat Cutoff Device

The boiler is fitted with a safety device to prevent damage
through overheating. Should the boiler go out together with the

relight the boiler.

Should the problem persist, turn the boiler off and consult your
installation/servicing company.
