FAULT FINDING Prior to fault finding, check : For example: Inlet gas pressure = 20 mbar If the domestic hot water works but the heating Electrical supply = 240 V - 50 Hz doesn’t, refer to chart No. 1. Central heating system is pressurised at 1 - 1,5 bar. If heating works correctly but the hot water doesn’t, Overheat thermostat on RHS of heat exchanger has refer to chart No.
