Glow-worm SS 115 User Manual

2.3 How to use your Glow-worm hot water
cylinder
Your boiler and Glow-worm unvented hot water cylinder will
provide both central heating and mains pressure hot water.
Check that the boiler is operational as detailed in the
instructions for use supplied with the boiler.
The domestic hot water thermostat on the Glow-worm cylinder
can be set from 20°C to 65°C. The desired temprature will
be set by the installer while commissioning the Glow-worm
cylinder (normally a setting of 60°C is adequate).
NOTE: In hard water areas the DHW temperature selected
should not exceed this setting to avoid possible scale build-up.
If a programmer has been tted to control the central heating
and hot water, check that this is set to the desired on and off
periods.
The boiler will then operate automatically to heat the cylinder
contents at the desired times to the temperature selected.
When domestic hot water is used, the boiler will operate to
re-heat the cylinder as required.
2.4 Immersion heater
The electric immersion heater behind the front panel is
provided as a back up means of water heating and is not
intended for use at the same time that the boiler is heating the
cylinder.
2.5 Important Notes
Shutting down the Glow-worm cylinder
To shut down the heating and hot water system for short
periods, simply turn off the boiler as shown in the instructions
supplied with the boiler.
Frost protection
Please ensure that if you are absent during a period of frost
the central heating system remains in operation and the
rooms and Glow-worm cylinder are kept above freezing
point. It must be remembered however that the boiler will be
automatically switched off by built-in monitoring devices if
certain faults occur, e. g. interruption in the gas or electricity
supply.
Alternatively you can drain the central heating system, boiler
and Glow-worm cylinder. Please contact your Installer.
Care and Maintenance
The casing of the Glow-worm cylinder may be cleaned with
a damp cloth and a little soap. Do not use any abrasive or
solvent material which could damage the case or ttings.
It is important that your hot water cylinder is serviced annually
by a competent person approved at the time by the Health
and safety Executive. Please contact your installer or Glow-
worm 01773 828100 for further details.
2.1 Introduction
Your Glow-worm unvented hot water cylinder together with
a boiler, provides you a modern, efcient, high performance
heating and hot water system.
Because your Glow-worm hot water cylinder is supplied with
water directly from the mains, you get the benet of mains
pressure hot water at your hot taps, without the need for
storage tanks in the loft and without a hot water pump. The
Glow-worm cylinder is made from high quality stainless steel
within an easy clean casing. The cylinder is fully insulated
using environmental friendly EPS insulation to help keep
your hot water running costs at a minimum, and protect the
environment!
Your Glow-worm cylinder is tailor made to accompany a
Glow-worm boiler as well as any other UK standard boiler. All
Glow-worm boilers are equipped with 'built-in' energy saving
technology, such as burner modulation, anti cycling control
and high efciency heat exchangers.
Please read these instructions carefully to ensure that you get
the very best out of your heating and hot water system.
