2.0 Introduction

2.1 Introduction

1. Your Potterton Performa 28i is a gas fired, room

sealed, powered flue combination boiler, providing

central heating for your home and mains fed

domestic hot water to taps and shower. It is fully

automatic and does not have a pilot light.

2. Priority is given to the hot water mode - when a

hot water tap is turned on the supply of heat to the

central heating circuit is interrupted.

2.2 Instant Domestic Hot Water

1. The boiler expansion vessel incorporates a

small volume of stored primary hot water.

2. When the boiler has been off and there is then a

demand for domestic hot water the stored primary

hot water ensures that domestic hot water is

supplied instantly at temperature.

3. The stored hot water is part of the primary

circuit. This is not supplied as domestic hot water,

which is fresh mains water heated by a heat

exchanger within the boiler.

4. The stored primary hot water temperature is

maintained whilst the boiler is in operation. During

a period when there is no demand for heating or

hot water the temperature of the stored primary hot

water will eventually fall. The boiler will operate

occasionally in order to maintain the temperature.

This is indicated by the domestic hot water mode

neon flashing (item 13 of Fig. 3).

2.3 Facia Panel

1. The facia panel is behind the hinged lower door.

As well as the on/off/reset selector switch, central

heating temperature control knob, pre-heat control

and pressure gauge, the facia incorporates ten

neon indicator lights.

2. Neons 12 to 15 indicate the operational status of

the boiler. Neons 6 to 11 have a dual function,

indicating the temperature of the central heating

water when constantly illuminated. If a fault

develops the appropriate neon will begin to flash.

Refer to Sections 3.3 to 3.7.

3.0 Operating the Boiler

3.1 Operating the Boiler

1. Ensure that the electricity and gas supplies are

turned on. Check that the central heating pressure

is between 0.5 and 1.0 bar (Fig. 4).

2. Turn the On/Off/Reset selector switch either

anti-clockwise from the off position (Fig. 6) to both

central heating and domestic hot water or

clockwise to domestic hot water only.

3. In either position the green power on neon

( ) will illuminate (Fig. 5).

4. Position (i) In this position the central heating

will operate according to demand or provide

domestic hot water when a tap or shower is turned

on (Fig. 7). Priority is given to domestic hot water.

The central heating neon ( ) will illuminate

when the boiler is supplying central heating. If

there is a demand for domestic hot water the ( )

neon will illuminate and the central heating neon

( ) will extinguish (Fig. 5). Neons 6 to 11 will

illuminate as the temperature rises.

5. Position (ii) In this position hot water will be

provided when a tap or shower is turned on

(Fig. 8). The hot water neon ( ) will illuminate

(Fig. 5).

6. The boiler will light automatically on demand.

7. The orange burner on neon ( ) will illuminate

when the boiler is operating and the main burner is

on (Fig. 5).

IMPORTANT: When the selector switch is in

the ‘0’(Off) position the electrical supply to the

3.2 Temperature Control

1. Central Heating: The central heating hot water

flow temperature can be adjusted between 30°C

(± 5°C) minimum and 85°C (± 5°C) maximum.

2. Turn the control knob clockwise to increase the

temperature (Fig. 9).

3. In normal winter usage we recommend that the

central heating temperature be set at maximum.

4. Domestic Hot Water Pre-Heat: To enjoy

optimum performance of the boiler the pre-heat

control should be set fully clockwise to the ON

position (Fig. 10). When there is a demand for hot

water it will be supplied at approximately 65°C

instantaneously.

5. Turning the control 15°clockwise from the OFF

position will activate the pre-heat feature. Hot

water will be supplied at approximately 35°C

instantaneously.

6. To increase the temperature turn the control

further clockwise. For example, when set 90°

clockwise the boiler will supply hot water at

approximately 44°C instantaneously. At a

position 180°from clockwise (i.e. straight down)

the hot water will be supplied at 52°C

instantaneously.

7. When the control is set anywhere between 15°

clockwise from the OFF position and the ON

position, the pre-heat feature will operate.

8. With the control in the OFF position (Fig. 11)

the pre-heat feature will not operate. Hot water

will be supplied at approximately 50°C.

9. The pre-heat feature will function with the

selector switch in either operating position. This is

indicated by the domestic hot water mode neon

flashing (Fig. 12).

10. The flow rate can be reduced down to as low

as 2.5 litre/min. The boiler will still recognise the

need to heat the water.

3.3 Flame Failure Reset

1. The red flame failure neon ( ) will illuminate in

the event of the burner failing to light, or when

incomplete lighting of the burner occurs (Fig. 12).

2. Turn the selector switch fully anti-clockwise

against the spring pressure to the reset position,

hold for 2 seconds and release (Fig. 13). Set the

selector to the required position to light the boiler.

3. If the flame failure light illuminates repeatedly a

fault is indicated. Your Service Engineer should

be contacted as soon as possible.

overheating. The safety thermostat neon ( ) will

light in this instance (Fig. 14).

2. To reset: Turn the selector fully anti-clockwise

against the spring pressure to the reset position,

hold for 2 seconds and release (Fig. 15). Set the

selector to the required position to light the boiler.

3. If the safety thermostat operates repeatedly,

causing boiler shutdown, a fault is indicated. Your

Service Engineer should be contacted as soon as

possible.

3.5 Air Flow Monitor

1. The boiler is fitted with an air pressure sensing

device. This monitors the flue system.

2. If the neon illuminates ( ) it indicates that

the flue or flue terminal is blocked or obstructed in

some way, or that there is an internal fault. If there

is no external blockage of the flue terminal that

can be easily removed contact your Service

Engineer (Fig. 14).

3.6 Pump Fault or Low Pressure

1. The neon ( ) will illuminate if the circulating

pump is faulty or the system pressure drops

below the minimum requirement (Fig. 14).

2. Check the pressure gauge as described in

Section 3.9. If the pressure is in the normal range,

a pump fault is indicated. Contact your Service

Engineer to determine the nature of the fault.

3.0 Operating the Boiler

3.9 Central Heating System Pressure

1. The water pressure in the central heating

system is indicated by the pressure gauge.

2. With the system cold and the boiler not

operating the pressure should be between 0.5

and 1.0 bar. During operation the pressure

should not exceed 2.5 bar, and will normally be

between 1.0 and 2.0 (Figs. 18 & 19).

3. A pressure of 3 or greater indicates a fault.

The safety pressure relief valve will operate, at a

pressure of 3 (Fig. 20). It is important that your

Service Engineer is contacted as soon as

possible.

4. The MINIMUM pressure for correct operation

is 0.5. If the pressure falls below 0.5, this may

indicate a leak on the central heating system

(Fig. 21).

5. The system must be re-pressurised by your

Service Engineer.

3.10 To Shut Off the Boiler

1. For short periods: Turn the selector switch to

the OFF position (Fig. 22).

2. For long periods: Turn off the selector switch

(Fig. 22), electricity and gas supplies.

If your home is to be left unoccupied for long

periods during cold weather the boiler and

whole system should be drained unless there

is additional frost protection.

3. Your installer will advise you about frost

protection and draining the system.

IMPORTANT: When the selector switch is in

the ‘0’(Off) position the electrical supply to the

boiler is isolated. The boiler will not operate

and the integral timer (if fitted) will require

resetting once the selector switch is set to

either Position (i) or Position (ii).

3.11 Frost Protection Mode

1. The frost protection feature will operate when

the selector switch is in the central heating and

domestic hot water mode.

The gas and electrical supplies to the boiler must

be on and the system pressure must be within

the range described in Section 3.9.

2. If the system temperature falls below 5°C, then

the boiler will fire until the water temperature has

been raised.

3. Further frost protection can be incorporated by

using a frost thermostat to protect the whole

system.
