observe this information in order to prevent
risk of death, risk of injury, material damage
or environmental damage.
1.3.1 Gas
If you smell gas:
Avoid rooms that smell of gas.
If possible, open doors and windows fully
and ensure adequate ventilation.
Do not use naked flames (e.g. lighters,
matches).
background
0020244997_07 Installation and maintenance instructions 5
Do not smoke.
Do not use any electrical switches, mains
plugs, doorbells, telephones or other com-
munication systems in the building.
Close the emergency control valve or the
main isolator.
If possible, close the gas stopcock on the
product.
Warn other occupants in the building by
yelling or banging on doors or walls.
Leave the building immediately and ensure
that others do not enter the building.
Alert the police and fire brigade, and in-
form the emergency service department of
the gas supply company as soon as you
are outside the building.
1.3.2 Flue gas
Flue gases may cause poisoning, while hot
flue gases may also cause burns. Flue gases
must therefore never be allowed to escape
uncontrollably.
What to do if you smell flue gas in the prop-
erty:
Open all accessible doors and windows
fully to provide ventilation.
Switch off the product.
Check the flue gas routes in the product
and the flue gas diversions.
To prevent flue gas exit:
Only operate the product if the air/flue pipe
has been completely installed.
With the exception of short periods for
testing purposes, only operate the product
when the front casing is installed and
closed.
In order to operate the product, ensure that
the condensate siphon is always full.
Water seal level for units with condens-
ate siphon (third-party accessory):
200 mm
To ensure that the seals are not damaged:
Instead of grease, use only water or com-
mercially available soft soap to aid installa-
tion.
1.3.3 Air supply
Unsuitable or insufficient combustion and
room air may lead to material damage, but
also to life-threatening situations.
To ensure that the combustion air supply is
sufficient during open-flued operation:
Ensure that the air supply to the product's
installation room is permanently unobstruc-
ted and sufficient in accordance with the
relevant ventilation requirements. This also
applies, in particular, for cupboard installa-
tions.
To prevent corrosion on the product and in
the flue system:
Ensure that the combustion air supply is
free from sprays, solvents, chlorinated
cleaning agents, paint, adhesives, am-
monia compounds, dust or similar sub-
stances.
Ensure that no chemical substances are
stored at the installation site.
If you are installing the product in
hairdressing salons, painter's or joiner's
workshops, cleaning businesses or similar
locations, choose a separate installation
room in which the room air is technically
free of chemical substances.
1.3.4 Electricity
The power supply terminals L and N remain
live.
To prevent electric shocks, proceed as fol-
lows before working on the product:
Disconnect the product from the power
supply by switching off all power supplies
at all poles (electrical partition with a con-
tact gap of at least 3 mm, e.g. fuse or cir-
cuit breaker) or remove the mains plug (if
present).
Secure against being switched back on
again.
Wait at least three minutes until the con-
densers have discharged.
Check that there is no voltage.
1.3.5 Weight
To prevent injuries when transporting the
product:
Make sure that the product is transported
by at least two people.
To prevent material damage to the flexible
gas pipe:
Never suspend the compact thermal
module on the flexible gas pipe.

6 Installation and maintenance instructions 0020244997_07
1.3.6 Explosive and flammable substances
To prevent explosions and fire:
Do not use the product in storage rooms
that contain explosive or flammable sub-
stances (such as petrol, paper or paint).
1.3.7 High temperatures
To prevent burns:
Only carry out work on components once
they have cooled down.
To prevent material damage that is caused
by heat transfer:
Only solder connectors if the connectors
are not yet screwed to the service valves.
1.3.8 Heating water
Both unsuitable heating water and air in the
heating water may cause material damage to
the product and in the heat generator circuit.
Check the quality of the heating water.
( Page 33)
If you use non-diffusion-tight plastic pipes
in the heating installation, ensure that no
air gets into the heat generator circuit.
1.3.9 Neutralisation device
To prevent contamination of the waste water:
Check whether a neutralising unit must
be installed in accordance with national
regulations.
Observe local regulations on neutralising
condensate.
1.3.10 Frost
To prevent material damage:
Do not install the product in rooms prone
to frost.
1.3.11 Safety devices
Install the necessary safety devices in the
installation.
1.3.12 Risk of death from leaks if the
product is installed below ground
level
Liquid gas accumulates at floor level. If the
product is installed below ground level, liquid
gas may accumulate at floor level if there
are any leaks. In this case, there is a risk of
explosion.
Make sure that liquid gas cannot escape
from the product or the gas pipe under any
circumstances.
1.3.13 Risk of material damage caused by
leak detection sprays and fluids
Leak detection sprays and fluids block the
filter for the mass flow sensor on the Venturi,
thereby destroying the mass flow sensor.
During repair work, do not apply any leak
detection sprays or fluids to the covering
cap on the filter for the Venturi.
1.3.14 Risk of damage to the flexible gas
pipe
The corrugated gas pipe may become dam-
aged if weight is placed on it.
Do not suspend the compact thermal
module on the flexible gas pipe, for
example during maintenance work.
1.4 Regulations (directives, laws,
standards)
Observe the national regulations, stand-
ards, directives, ordinances and laws.
1.5 List of relevant standards for Great
Britain and Ireland
Observe the national regulations, stand-
ards, directives, ordinances and laws.

5.7 Safety Devices
5.7.1 Electrical Supply Failure
The boiler will not work without an electrical supply. Normal
operation of the boiler should resume when the electrical
supply is restored.
Reset any external controls, to resume normal operation of
the central heating.
If the boiler does not resume normal operation press the
reset button. If the boiler does not resume normal operation
after this call your Installation/Servicing company or Vaillant
service.
5.7.2 Overheating Safety
The boiler software is designed to recognise the potential for
an overheat lockout and will shutdown before this happens.
To restart the boiler, press the reset button on the boiler
interface.
If the boiler fails to resume normal operation and all external
controls are calling for heat, then call your Installation/ Servi-
cing company or Vaillant service.
5.7.3 Frost protection
The appliance has a built in frost protection device that pro-
tects the boiler from freezing. With the gas and electric sup-
plies ON and irrespective of any room thermostat setting, the
frost protection device will operate the pump when the tem-
perature of the boiler water falls below 12 °C.
A timer is used so that the temperature can be checked peri-
odically. After 10 minutes the pump will be stopped if the
temperature is higher than 10 °C or has already reached
35 °C. The burner will activate if the boiler temperature does
not reach 10 °C after 30 minutes or at any time if the temper-
ature drops to 5 °C.
The burner will switch off when the temperature reaches
35 °C.
5.7.4 Condensate Drain Blockage
As a safety feature the boiler will stop working if the con-
densate drain becomes blocked. During freezing conditions
this may be due to the forming of ice in the condense drain
external to the house. Release an ice blockage by the use
of warm cloths on the pipe. After pressing reset the boiler
should restart.

6.3 Installation site
This boiler is not suitable for outdoor installation. This boiler
may be installed in any room. However if the boiler is being
installed in a room containing a bath or shower it must only
be installed in zones 2 or 3. In GB this is the current I.E.E.
WIRING REGULATIONS and BUILDING REGULATIONS. In
IE reference should be made to the current edition of I.S.813
“Domestic Gas Installations” and the current ETCI rules.
If the boiler is to be installed in a timber frame building it
should be fitted in accordance with the current version of the
Institute of Gas Engineers document IGE/UP/7. If in doubt
seek advice from local gas undertaking or the manufacturer.
6.4 Minimum clearances
B A
C C D
Minimum clearance
A 165 mm: Air/flue pipe, 60/100 mm diameter
275 mm: Air/flue pipe, 80/125 mm diameter
B 180 mm; optimum approx. 250 mm
C 5 mm; optimum approx. 50 mm
D 500 mm in front of the heat generator to enable
easy access for maintenance work (may be
provided by an opening door).
It is not necessary to maintain a clearance between the
product and components made of combustible materials that
go beyond the minimum clearances.
6.5 Compartment Ventilation
The boilers are very high efficiency appliances.
As a consequence the heat loss from the appliance casing
during operation is very low.
Compartment ventilation is not required as the products are
only certified, and can only be fitted with a concentric flue
system.
6.6 Air/flue pipe
6.6.1 Regulation
Different flue outlet configurations can be carried out.
Consult the installation manual for air/flue gas systems
for more information about the other possibilities and
associated accessories.
Minimum fall
44 mm/m
Standard flue terminal kits have an in-built fall back to
the boiler to drain the condensate. These can be fitted
level between the appliance and the termination position.
All other extended flues must have a fall of at least 44
mm/m.
The maximum length of the flue outlet is defined according to
its type (for example C13).
Whatever the kind of flue system chosen, observe the
minimum distances to position the flue terminals.
To install the flue, refer to the separate flue instruction
supplied with your appliance.
Explain these requirements to the user of the appliance.
In GB the minimum acceptable siting dimensions for the
terminal from obstructions, other terminals and ventilation
openings are shown in diagram overleaf.
In IE the minimum distances for flue terminal positioning
must be those detailed in I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas Installa-
tions”.
The terminal must be exposed to the external air, allowing
free passage of air across it at all times.
Being a condensing boiler some pluming may occur from
the flue outlet. This should be taken into consideration when
selecting the position for the terminal.

6.6.2.2 Horizontal terminal positioning
BS 5440-1 recommends that fanned flue chimney terminals should be positioned as follows:
a) at least 2 m from an opening in the building directly opposite, and
b) so that the products of combustion are not directed to discharge directly across a boundary if the products are likely to
cause a nuisance to a neighbour or discharge over a walkway or patio.
For IE see current issue of IS 813.

5. Check that the volumetric capacity of the expansion
vessel is sufficient for the system volume.
Condition: The volume of the installed expansion vessel is insufficient
Install an additional expansion vessel, connected as
close to the product as possible, in the heating return.
Condition: External expansion vessel installed and warm start active
Install a non-return valve in the product outlet (heating
flow) or decommission the internal expansion vessel in
order to prevent the warm start function from being in-
creasingly activated due to backflow.
6. Install the connection pipes such that they are free
from mechanical stress.
7. If you use non-diffusion-tight plastic pipes in the heat-
ing installation, ensure that no air gets into the heat
generator circuit.
8. Only solder connectors if the connectors are not yet
screwed to the service valves.
9. Only bend connection pipes if they have not yet been
connected to the product.
10. Flush the heating installation thoroughly before in-
stalling the product.
11. If, during gas leak-tightness tests, you also place the
gas pipes and the gas valve assembly in the product
under pressure, use a max. test pressure of 11 kPa
(110 mbar).
12. If you cannot limit the test pressure to 11 kPa
(110 mbar), close any gas stopcocks that are installed
upstream of the product before you carry out the gas
leak-tightness test.
13. If, during gas leak-tightness tests, you have closed the
gas stopcock that is installed upstream of the product,
relieve the gas line pressure before you open this gas
stopcock.
14. Install a tundish with condensate siphon for the con-
densate discharge and the exhaust pipe on the expan-
sion relief valve. Route drain pipework that is as short
as possible, at a downward gradient away from the tun-
dish.
15. Insulate bare pipes exposed to environmental influ-
ences to protect them from frost using suitable insula-
tion material.

Scale deposition increases as the water temperature in-
creases.
Descale the water as required.
7.4 Installing the gas connection
1. Install the gas pipe in accordance with the recognised
rules of technology.
2. In doing so, ensure that the dimensioning of the gas
pipes is sufficient since, otherwise, this may lead to
fault shutdowns of the unit.
3. Connect the product to the gas pipe as shown in ac-
cordance with the recognised rules of good engineer-
ing practice.
4. Remove the residues from the gas pipe by blowing
through the gas pipe beforehand.

7.9 Installing the drain pipe on the expansion
relief valve
1. Install the drain pipe for the expansion relief valve so
that it does not interfere with the removal and fitting of
the lower section of the condensate trap.
2. Install the drain pipe as shown (do not shorten).
3. Make sure that the end of the pipe is visible.
4. Ensure that discharged water or steam cannot cause
injury to persons or damage to electronic components.
5. Ensure the discharge pipe work is installed, routed and
terminated correctly to minimise the risk of freezing up.
7.10 Connecting the condensate discharge pipe
Danger!
Risk of death from escaping flue gases!
The condensate drain pipework for the si-
phon must not be connected tightly to waste-
water piping because, otherwise, the internal
condensate trap may be drained fully and flue
gas may escape.
Do not connect the condensate drain
pipework tightly to the waste-water pip-
ing.

The product is equipped with a condensate trap (2). The
condensate trap collects the condensate that has formed in
a vessel with a volumetric capacity of approximately 200 ml,
and intermittently releases the contents into the drain pipe.
This minimises the risk of the drain pipe freezing.
Follow the instructions listed here and observe directives
and local regulations on condensate discharge.
background
26 Installation and maintenance instructions 0020244997_07
If you cannot guarantee that the materials from which the
condensate discharge pipe is made are suitable, install a
system to neutralise the condensate.
Connect the condensate discharge (1) to a condensate
discharge pipe (3) that has a minimum internal diameter
of 19 mm (30 mm internal diameter for all external pipes
that are fed out of the building) and is made from an acid-
resistant material (e.g. plastic overflow pipe).
The condensate discharge pipework must have
a continuous fall (45 mm per metre) and should
whenever possible terminate at a suitable discharge
point within the heated envelope of the building
that will remain frost free under long periods of low
external temperatures.
Note
Ensure that the connection between the con-
densate discharge pipe and the drain hose is
not air-tight.
During installation remove all burs from inside of cut pipe
work and avoid excessive adhesive which may trap small
pockets of water close to the pipe wall which can freeze
and build into a larger ice plug.
As with other pipe work insulate the condensate dis-
charge pipe to minimise any risk of freezing and beware
when crossing cavities that the fall is maintained and the
pipe sleeved.
Ensure that the condensate discharge pipe terminates in
a suitable location. Further information can be obtained
from BS 6798 Specification for installation of gasfired
boilers of rated input not exceeding 70 kW net.
Leave an installation space of at least 180 mm beneath
the condensate trap.
7.10.1 Condensate discharge systems
The condensate is discharged periodically in ‘slugs’ by si-
phonic action. It is not necessary to provide extra traps in the
discharge pipe as there is already a trap inside the boiler.
Fitting an extra trap may cause the boiler siphon to work in-
correctly. Refer to BS5546 or BS6798 for further advice on
disposal of boiler condensate.

J Commissioning Flow Chart
PRIOR TO CO AND COMBUSTION RATIO CHECK
The boiler manufacturer’s installation instructions should have been followed, gas type verified and gas
supply pressure/rate checked as required prior to commissioning.
As part of the installation process, especially where a flue has been fitted by persons other than the
boiler installer, visually check the integrity of the whole flue system to confirm that all components are
correctly assembled, fixed and supported. Check that manufacturer’s max. flue lengths have not been
exceeded and all guidance has been followed (e.g. Gas Safe Technical Bulletin TB008).
The flue gas analyser should be of the correct type, as specified by BS 7967
Prior to its use, the flue gas analyser should have been maintained and calibrated as specified by the
manufacturer. The installer must have the relevant competence for use of the analyser.
Check and zero the analyser IN FRESH AIR as per analyser manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE
THE AIR GAS RATIO VALVE IS FACTORY
SET AND MUST NOT BE ADJUSTED
DURING COMMISSIONING UNLESS THIS
ACTION IS RECOMMENDED FOLLOWING
CONTACT WITH THE MANUFACTURER.
If any such adjustment is recommended and
further checking of the boiler is required the
installer/service engineer must be competent
to carry out this work and to use the flue gas
analyser accordingly.
If the boiler requires conversion to operate with
a different gas family (e.g. conversion from
natural gas to LPG) separate guidance will be
provided by the boiler manufacturer
CARRY OUT FLUE INTEGRITY CHECK USING ANALYSER
Insert analyser probe into air inlet test point and allow readings to stabilise.
NOTE - where no air inlet test point is provided then a flue integrity check
with the analyser is not possible. The installer should verify that flue
integrity has been visually checked in accordance with the “Prior to
CO and combustion ratio check” box above before proceeding to the
“Check CO and combustion ratio at maximum rate” stage below.
SET BOILER TO MINIMUM RATE
In accordance with boiler instructions, set boiler to operate at minimum rate (to
minimum load condition). Allow sufficient time for combustion to stabilise.
NOTE - If manufacturer’s instructions do not specify how to set boiler to minimum
rate contact Technical Helpline for advice.
CHECK CO AND COMBUSTION RATIO AT MINIMUM RATE
With boiler still set at minimum rate, insert analyser probe into flue gas sampling
point. Allow readings to stabilise before recording.
NOTE - If no flue gas sampling point is present and the correct procedure is not
specified in the manual, consult boiler manufacturer for guidance.
CHECK CO AND COMBUSTION RATIO AT MAX. RATE
With boiler still set at maximum rate, insert analyser probe into flue gas
sampling point. Allow readings to stabilise before recording.
NOTE - If no flue gas sampling point is present and the correct procedure is
not specified in the manual, consult boiler manufacturer for guidance.
SET BOILER TO MAXIMUM RATE
In accordance with boiler instructions, set boiler to operate at max. rate
(full load condition). Allow sufficient time for combustion to stabilise.
NOTE - Do not insert analyser probe during this period to avoid
possible “flooding” of sensor.

Ensure test points are capped, boiler case is correctly replaced and
all other commissioning procedures are completed.
Complete Benchmark Checklist, recording CO and combustion ratio
readings as required.
TURN OFF APPLIANCE AND CALL
MANUFACTURER’S TECHNICAL HELPLINE
FOR ADVICE.
THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE
COMMISSIONED UNTIL PROBLEMS ARE
IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED.
VERIFY FLUE INTEGRITY
Analyser readings indicate that combustion products
and inlet air must be mixing. Further investigation of
the flue is therefore required.
Check that flue components are assembled, fixed
and supported as per boiler/flue manufacturer’s
instructions.
Check that flue and flue terminal are not obstructed.

FOR ADVICE.
THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE
COMMISSIONED UNTIL PROBLEMS ARE
IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED. IF
COMMISSIONING CANNOT BE FULLY
COMPLETED, THE APPLIANCE MUST BE
DISCONNECTED FROM THE GAS SUPPLY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE GSIUR.
NOTE: Check and record CO and combustion ratio
at both max. and min. rate before contacting the
manufacturer.
