Central Heating When a demand is made for heating by the system con- trols (i.e. a programmer or room thermostat). The pump will energise circulating primary water around the heating system and the burner will light.

GENERAL NOTES CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM During the first few hours of operation of the central heating system, check that all radiators are being heated at an even rate. Should the upper area of a radiator be at a lower temperature than the base of the radiator, it should be vented by releasing air through the venting screw at the top of each radiator.
