10.0 – FAULT FINDING
The majority of possible faults have been covered previously. However, in certain
circumstances, safely controls within the boiler may be activated.
There are two safety over-heat cut-outs in your boiler.
1). Over-boil safety cut-out – this will be activated should the boiler produce excess steam.
This can be due to;
- lime-scale within the tank,
- a temporary interruption in the water supply.
- a faulty temperature sensor.
To reset boiler, switch off at the mains power supply and allow the boiler to cool for ten
minutes before switching back on.
2). Boil-dry safety cut-out. This operates if the boiler has been boiled dry, for example, due to
lime scale build-up or water starvation.
To reset boiler, Isolate from mains power supply. Remove the back panel and push the small
red reset button in the element cut-out.
In any of these events the indicator lamp will flash red or green or red and green. If the
problem reoccurs contact the Instanta Service Department – 01704 502911
