OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER

THE GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS 1996. It is the law that all gas appliances are installed by a registered person, in accordance with the above regulations. Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to prosecution. It is in your own interest, and that of safety, to ensure that the law is complied with. It is essential that the appliance is correctly earthed. An electricity supply of 240 V - 50 Hz fused at 3 A is required. Read these instructions carefully before attempting to operate the appliance. is either turned off or the flow rate is reduced in which case the heat output will reduce accordingly to maintain a steady temperature. Hot water is made available almost immediately at the appliance outlet, but the final temperature and time taken for the hot water to reach a tap depends upon the potentiometer setting, the rate at which water is drawn off, and the length of the pipe between the boiler and the tap. When the tap is turned off, the appliance will revert to C.H. mode (if set on winter position) otherwise the burner will be extinguished pending the next demand for hot water.

1.1

INTRODUCTION 1.3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS To light the appliance (see fig. 1)

The Sime ECOMFORT PLUS is a fully automatic, wall mounted, room sealed, fan assisted combination boiler. When operating in winter mode, the appliance provides central heating as required and produces instantaneous hot water upon demand. When operating in summer mode, the central heating is not operational however the appliance continues to supply hot water whenever it is required. The heat output is automatically controlled by the fully modulating gas valve (within its preset limits), and there are user adjustable potentiometers to control the temperature of both central heating and domestic hot water. A temperature/pressure gauge is fitted and an overheat thermostat is incorporated to protect against fault conditions.

APPLIANCE OPERATION

A demand of hot water will be sensed by the appliance detecting water flow (providing that the flow rate is above 2 l/m - 0.5 gal/min). The fan will start and the burner will light at full output. If the draw off rate is near the maximum design flow rate the appliance will run continuously at full output until a tap

Check that the electricity supply is off and that the D.H.W. isolation valve is in the open position (lever vertical). Check that the gas supply is on. Turn the selector switch summer/winter (C) to SUMMER (water only) position . Switch on the electricity supply and full open any D.H.W. tap. The burner will light. If the burner fails to light, turn the selector switch summer/winter to position and release it immediately; then turn it to the SUMMER position: the burner should now light. Turn off the tap. Check that the room thermostat and time clock are calling for heat. Turn the heating potentiometer (E) to maximum (fully clockwise). Turn the selector switch summer/winter to the WINTER position " and the burner will light to serve the heating load. Set the required temperature for the C.H. and D.H.W. by rotating the potentiometers (D - E) clockwise to increase or anticlockwise to decrease the temperature. NOTE: when operating in winter mode, priority is auto-

ROUTINE SERVICING

1.3.2 To turn off the appliance (see fig. 1) For short periods: Set the selector switch (C) to the OFF position and urn off the DHW Isolation valve. When required, restore turn the selector switch to either the SUMMER or WINTER position and turn on the DHW Isolation valve. For longer periods: Set the selector switch (C) to the OFF position, turn off the DHW Isolation valve, turn off the gas isolation cock. When required, manually rotate the pump, open the gas isolation cock, turn on the DHW Isolation valve and turn the selector switch to either the SUMMER or WINTER position. NOTE: If frost protection is required-turn the selector switch to the summer position, do not isolate the gas supply, turn off the DHW Isolation valve.

To ensure continued efficient operation of the appliance, it is recommended that it is checked and serviced as necessary at regular intervals. The frequency of servicing will depend upon the particular installation conditions and usage but in general once a year should be adequate. It is the law that any service work must be carried out by a Gas Safe Register registered engineer.

GENERAL INFORMATION Fault finding indicators (LEDS)

The appliance is fitted with a safety cut-out thermostat. In the event of overheating this will interrupt the power supply and prevent the appliance from functioning. If this occurs, allow the appliance to cool, turn the selector switch summer/winter to position, then turn it back to the previous position (see fig. 2). If the cut-out condition is repeated, turn off the electrical supply and consult your installer or service engineer.

1.6.2 Temperature/pressure gauge 1.4 MINIMUM CLEARANCES The gauge (A fig. 1) on the facia panel indicates the approximate system pressure. The normal operating pressure is between 1 and 1.5 bar. The pressure is maintained with the use of an external filling loop, fitted at the time of installation. This is usually close to the boiler. To increase the pressure, firstly connect the flexable hose, then turn on the isolation valve until the pressure is between 1 and 1.5 bar. Turn off the valve and disconnect the hose. If the normal running pressure is seen to decrease over a short period of time there is

DIGITAL TIME CLOCK - Code 8092214

When the selector is in the AUTO position, boiler functioning is automatically controlled on the basis of the temperature levels and time periods set. The second selector must be in the RUN position to start. The programming procedure is described below: Setting the time Set the selector to the CLOCK position. Press h to change the hour on the display, or m to change the minutes. To set the day, press the 17 button until the arrow is pointing to the correct day (1 = Monday 7 = Sunday). When finished programming, set the selector to RUN position. Deleting one or more programs The on and off time must be deleted for each program to be deleted. Set selector (2) to position P. Select the desired program with button (3), then press button (4) to delete the day setting (the triangular symbols for the days should go away). If part of the program is deleted, when you set selector (2) back to the RUN position an error will appear in the clock display, referring to the program which is incorrect. To delete all programs, put the selector in position P and press buttons (3) and (5) at the same time. Setting the SKIP function The SKIP function deactivates programs for the next day and resumes regular programming 24 hours later. This function is useful if you will be out all day and dont need heating. To start this function, press button (7), which is active only when selector (2) is in RUN position. Once you have selected the SKIP function, it will go into effect at 0:00 of the next day for 24 hours. You cannot turn it off once it has started, so regular programming will not resume until 24 hours have passed.

Setting the program The time clock has 8 on times and 8 off times. To make it easier to use, the time clock is supplied with 3 on times and 3 off times already set for each day of the week, as shown below:
Program 1 2 3 4 5 6 Time 06,00 09,00 12,00 14,00 18,00 22,00

NOTE: No program is set from 7 through 17. To select programmes other than those already set, move the selector to position P; 0:001 will appear on the display, in which the first three digits indicate the hour and minutes, while the fourth digit identifies the program number. Odd-numbered programs identify requests for operation (day temperature), in which case the light bulb symbol will appear on the display, while even-numbered programs identify drops in temperature (night). Use the 17 key to select the day of the week (from 1 to 7) or days (1 5, 6 - 7; 1 6 or every day if the program is to be repeated every day of the week). Set the hour and minutes with the h and m buttons. Press P to store the operation in memory and go on to the next program. Repeat the same procedure to set the remaining programs.
