The attention of U.K. users is drawn to their responsibilities under the Health and Safety Regulations 1993. All installation and service on the Andrews Water Heater must be carried out by properly qualified personnel, and therefore no liability can be accepted for any damage or malfunction caused as a result of intervention by unauthorised personnel.
SECTION 1 GENERAL AND SAFETY INFORMATION GENERAL The Andrews Water Heater has been designed and manufactured to give an efficient, reliable and long service life. INFORMATION To ensure the continued, trouble-free operation of your heater at maximum efficiency, it is essential that correct installation, commissioning, operation and service procedures are carried out strictly in accordance with the instructions given in this manual.
1993 Andrews Water Heaters should only be used in the manner and purpose for which they were intended and in accordance with the instructions in this manual. Although the heaters have been manufactured with paramount consideration to safety, certain basic precautions specified in this manual must be taken by the user.
Service clearance above all the heaters except heater models OFS25 should be 1270mm for removal of the flue baffle. Heater model OFS25 flue baffle is hinged for low ceiling removal. It is very important that heater models OFS108 & OFS163 have at least 600mm clearance at the rear for the installation and removal of the T/P valve if fitted.

INSTALLATION SECTION 3 BURNER The burners are supplied complete with pre-wired control thermostat loom to a harness plug with connects to the harness socket on the burner. The burners are supplied with ASSEMBLY the flange fitted to the burner blast tube in the correct position. A gasket is also supplied loose in the burner carton.
SECTION 3 INSTALLATION FLUE SYSTEMS Detailed recommendations for flue installation are given in BS5410 PT 1 and BS5410 PT 2 The Building Regulations allow the use of stainless steel under the term “Deemed to Satisfy” but the minimum thickness must be 0.71mm (22swg). We recommend that Selkirk SMW Flue System is used to the following specification: Twin Wall, Insulated, Stainless Steel.

SECTION 3 INSTALLATION COMMON FLUE HEADER Must have vertical flue discharge Draught Draught Stabiliser Stabiliser Fig. 4 It is recommended that individual flues are used for each heater. However if a common flue header is to be used the following guidelines must be used. 1.
INSTALLATION SECTION 3 The following notes are intended to give general guidance: AIR SUPPLY Where the heater is to be installed in a room or internal space the heater requires the room or internal space containing it to have a permanent air vent. The vent must be VENTILATION either direct to outside air or to an adjacent room or internal space which must itself have a permanent vent of at least the same size direct to outside air.
BEMS version is available, which provides a remote warning signal. These anodes are available as an optional extra on all Andrews Water Heaters. In hard water areas, scale formation can occur in hot water systems and hot water heaters and the higher the temperature and volume of water used, the more problematic the scale build-up can be.
INSTALLATION SECTION 3 WATER CONNECTIONS Hydrojet System Top Cold Inlet Connection The upper “jet ports” direct the flow outward to begin the dynamic mixing action. The lower “jet ports” direct the flow inward to increase the turbulence. Tank Heater Casing All models now incorporate the new Mini Hydrojet system on cold inlet side connections.
SECTION 3 INSTALLATION WATER The water heater must be supplied from a cold water feed cistern and the hot water supply pipe must be fitted with an open vent pipe in accordance with BS 5546 and CONNECTIONS BS 6644. VENTED SYSTEMS The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 must be observed when installing the system.

Installation of unvented hot storage water systems must comply with Part G of Schedule 1 of the Building Regulations 1991. Typical water service layout for single heater unvented system is shown in Fig. 7. Top Entry Models OFS25 OFS29 OFS108 Front Rear Entry...
SECTION 3 INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL Wiring external to the water heater must be installed in accordance with the I.E.E. Regulations for the wiring of buildings and to any local regulations that may apply. SUPPLY The heaters are designed to run off 220/240V 1 Ph 50 Hz supply and the fuse rating is 5 Amp See pages 4 &...
INSTALLATION SECTION 3 A fire valve and filter must be fitted in the fuel supply to the burner. (Not Supplied). FUEL SUPPLY Current standards state that the "BIO-FUEL" has a blend of between 7% and 10%. If a higher blend is being used then the burner manufacturer MUST be contacted for additional guidance. Use either Kerosene Class C2 (BS2869) or Gas Oil Class D (BS2869).
SECTION 4 COMMISSIONING IMPORTANT: These oil fired water heaters must be commissioned by a competent engineer. CAUTION / IMPORTANT: PRESSURE WITHIN COMBUSTION CHAMBER SHOULD READ BETWEEN -0.2 MBAR AND -0.5 MBAR, ADJUST THE DRAUGHT STABILIZER TO ENSURE A READING OF -0.1" TO -0.4" IS ACHIEVED TO ENSURE SAFE AND CORRECT OPERATION. CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE WATER HEATER UNTIL THE STORAGE VESSEL IS COMPLETELY FILLED WITH WATER.

SECTION 4 COMMISSIONING When satisfactory commissioning and testing has been achieved, hand this manual to the INSTRUCTING user or purchaser and explain the method of economic and efficient operation. THE USERS Explain that: 1. Other than for long shutdown periods, the heater must be left operating normally. 2.
This is normal and will disappear when the heater warms up. The thermostats fitted to heater models OFS25, OFS29, OFS63 & OFS90 have a built in high limit thermostats. In the case of dangerous water temperatures the fuel supply will be automatically shut off.
SECTION 6 SERVICING INTRODUCTION Servicing must be carried out be a properly qualified person. Whilst giving these instructions for the care of the Heater, it is recommended that checks are carried out by the installer at least every 6 months. Ensure good ventilation by keeping the heater free of extraneous materials and clear of dust and lint.
3. If the anode is encrusted with limescale, it should be either wire brushed to reveal bright metal or replaced. 4. For models OFS25 & OFS29 withdraw the hot water outlet nipple/anode and replace (See Fig. 9) - Refer to parts list pages 32 & 32.
Note: It is recommended that a new anode is fitted. Add suitable hydrochloric based descale acid, the requirement is normally 5 litres for OFS25 & OFS29 and 10 for OFS63, OFS90, OFS108 & OFS163. After a minimum of one hour relight the burner for 2 minutes (Maximum).
FAULT FINDING SECTION 7 ALL MODELS FAULT FAULT ACTION ACTION (a) Check electrical supply and ON/OFF switch is ‘ON’. 1. BURNER WILL NOT START (b) Check thermostat circuit is made and also time clock contacts are closed and limit thermostat is set. (c) Check if locked out.
