FIREBIRD ‘S’ RANGE
We would like to thank you for purchasing a high efficiency Firebird domestic central heating oil fired boiler. This
instruction manual is produced for the reference and guidance of qualified installation engineers such as those who
are OFTEC registered. EU legislation governs the manufacture, operation and efficiency of all domestic central
heating oil boilers. Our boilers and burners will are supplied as matched units tested and approved to OFTEC
Standard OFS Al00.
FIREBIRD Boilers are full manufacturing members of OFTEC (Oil Firing Technical Association) and are
participating in its Boiler testing and approvals programme to comply with OFS A100 and EC Efficiency Directive.
Boilers must be installed, commissioned and serviced by qualified and experienced engineers
(OFTEC approved/competence certified required in UK.) It is the responsibility of the
Installer/Householder to ensure that the boiler is properly commissioned. Failure to do so may
invalidate the boiler Guarantee and extended warranty.
All appropriate OFTEC manuals and BS Standards should be studied and their requirements
adhered to and used in conjunction with these instructions. This manual includes a list of some BS
Standards and Building Regulations.
OFTEC is conducting training and registration of engineers and this is to be commended, as reading of this
manual alone for installation and servicing procedures cannot replace the critical advantage provided by training
and years of experience.
The Firebird range of Oil Boilers includes the Firebird S Range, Kitchen Model, Room Sealed and Boilerhouse
models. The range is further extended with the Popular Conventional flue Boilerhouse models, Heat Pac
Outdoor models.
All units give clean combustion while Kitchen-quiet operation is a feature of balanced flue indoor models. The
entire range is complemented by a highly efficient matching pressure jet burner which produces very low NO
x
emissions.
A drain-off cock is fitted inside the boiler beside the burner and there are flow and return connections provided
under top lid of the boiler for connection to the heating and hot water systems. As all servicing can be carried
out from the front, the boiler many be fitted under a kitchen worktop.
The burner is factory set for use with C2 kerosene to BS 2869:1998. However, Class D fuel to BS 2869:1998
(gas oil) may only be used on a conventional flue installation, a oil pre-heater may be necessary.
