HOW TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE ANY ASSISTANCE? 9 Fault Finding 9.1 Electrical circuit interruption The boiler will not work without an electrical supply and normal operation of the boiler should resume when the electrical supply is restored. Like all condensing boilers it will produce a plume of condensation from the flue terminal in cool weather. This is due to the high efficiency and hence low flue gas temperature of the boiler. It is normal and not a fault indication.
ANY ASSISTANCE ? 10 Appliance safety devices System Protection 10.1 Boiler Shutdown The boiler alone cannot ensure that the installation is protected against frost.
