▶ Open the gas isolator and switch on the appliance.
▶ Ensure that there is heat transfer by opening the radiator valves and
by running a hot tap.
▶ Set the chimney sweep mode and start up the appliance at maximum
rated output.
▶ Check the required gas supply pressure according to table .
Commissioning must not take place outside of the permissible pressure
range.
▶ Identify the cause and rectify the fault.
▶ If this is not possible: isolate the appliance on the gas side and notify
the gas supplier.

Gas pressure within the system
The appliance must be running at maximum output rate when
performing the gas rate check, ( chapter 6.4).
Refer to the figures below for natural gas or L.P.G gas pressures.
The pressure drop from the meter or at the L.P.G. gas supply to the gas
valve inlet test point must not be more than:
• 2.5 mbar for Natural Gas
• 4 mbar for L.P.G.
