Appliance Introduction
In IE reference should be made to the current edition of I.S.813
"Domestic Gas Installations" and the current ETCI rules.
The F24E and F18E SB boilers are wall mounted modulating

boilers with electronic ignition providing central heating and
hot water.
The central heating and domestic hot water (F24E only)

temperatures are user adjustable.
The boiler is of the II2H3+ category and is for use with natural
Gas (G20) as distributed in the United Kingdom, but can be
converted to use Butane (G30), Propane (G31) with the
appropriate kit.
F24E Only. Domestic hot water demand always has priority

over heating demand.
The boiler is designed for use as part of a sealed water central
heating system with fully pumped circulation. The pump,
expansion vessel and associated safety devices are all fitted
within the boiler.
Thema Classic F24E LPG boilers are factory set for use
on Butane (G30) and Propane (G31) without requirement
for any additional adjustments.
The boiler can be installed against either an external wall or on

an adjacent inside wall, that is, the flue system will pass directly
to the rear or to either side to the terminal fitted on the outside
wall face.
The boiler has a fan assisted balanced flue which both

discharges the products of combustion to and draws the
combustion air from the outside of the room.
This boiler is not suitable for outdoor installation.
These instructions should be carefully followed for the safe and

economical use of your boiler. The 'User Controls and Lighting'
section describes how to safely use the boiler.
This boiler may be installed in any room, although particular

attention is drawn to the installation of a boiler in a room
containing a bath or shower where reference must be made to
the relevant requirements.
Note: The boiler serial number is marked on the data label

attached to the rear of the control box.
Any electrical switch or boiler control utilising mains electricity

should be placed so that it cannot be touched by a person
using the bath or shower.
Accessories
A range of accessories are available.
In GB this is the current I.E.E. WIRING REGULATIONS and

BUILDING REGULATIONS.

The installation of the boiler must comply with the requirements

of the current issue of BS6798, in Ireland, refer also to the
current edition of I.S.813"Domestic Gas Installations".
The system can be fitted with a lockable control valve if

necessary in the main flow or return pipes shown as valve 'A'
in diagram 3.2.
In GB it is necessary to comply with the Water Supply (Water

Fittings) Regulations 1999 (for Scotland, the Water Byelaws
2000, Scotland).
The piping system shall be routed so as to avoid any air

pockets and facilitate permanent venting of the installation.
Bleed fittings must be provided at every high point of the
system and on all radiators.
To comply with the Water Regulations your attention is drawn

to: The Water Regulations guide published by the Water
Regulation Advisory Service (WRAS) which gives full details of
the requirements.
The total volume of water permitted for the heating system

depends, amongst other things, on the static head in the cold
condition. The expansion vessel on the boiler is pressurised at
0.5 bar and allows a maximum system volume of 110 litres for
an average temperature of 75C and a maximum service
pressure of 3 bar. This pressure setting can be modified at
commissioning stage if the static head differs. An additional
expansion vessel can be fitted to the system if required, see
diagram 3.2.
In IE the requirements given in the current edition of I.S.813

"Domestic Gas Installations" and the current Building
Regulations must be followed.
The F24E and F18E SB are for use with sealed central heating
systems.
Guidance on vessel sizing is also given in a current issue of a

BS5449 and BS7074 Part 1, for IE refer to the current edition
of I.S.813 "Domestic Gas Installations".
Heating surfaces may consist of radiators, convectors or fan

assisted convectors.
The safety valve is an integral part of the boiler and it cannot
be adjusted.
Provision shall be made for a drain valve at the lowest point

of the system.
The circulation pump is integral with the boiler.
Where thermostatic radiator valves are fitted, not all radiators

must be fitted with this type of valve, and in particular, where
a room thermostat is installed.
Pipe sectional areas shall be determined in accordance with

normal practices, using the output/pressure curve
(diagram 3.1). The distribution system shall be calculated in
accordance with the output requirements of the actual system,
not the maximum output of the boiler. However, provision shall
be made to ensure sufficient flow so that the temperature
difference between the flow and return pipes be less than or
equal to 20C. The minimum flow rate is shown in table 1.
In the case of an existing installation, it is ESSENTIAL that the

system is thoroughly flushed prior to installing the new boiler,
using a proprietary product from Fernox or Sentinel.

with the user and the magnetic lighting instruction label is
placed on the surface of the boiler casing.
Check that any external controls, if fitted, are calling for heat
(set room thermostat to maximum).
Instruct the User
Allow the temperature to rise to the maximum value, with all

radiator valves open. The temperature rise will cause release of
the air contained in the water of the central heating system.
Instruct and demonstrate the lighting procedure and advise the

user on the safe and efficient operation of the boiler.
Instruct on and demonstrate the operation of any heating
system controls.
Air driven towards the boiler will be automatically released

through the automatic air vent.
Advise the user on the use and maintenance of any scale

reducer and pass on any relevant instructional documents.
The air trapped at the highest point of the system must be

released by bleeding the radiators. Check the burner gas rate
required, ten minutes after lighting. Refer to Data Label on
electrical controls box. Should there be any doubt about the
gas rate it should be checked at the meter, refer to technical
data.
Advise that to ensure the continued efficient and safe operation

of the boiler it is recommended that it is checked and serviced
at regular intervals. The frequency of servicing will depend
upon the installation conditions and usage, but in general, once
a year should be enough.
On reaching maximum temperature, the boiler should be

turned off and the system drained as rapidly as possible whilst
still hot.
Draw attention, if applicable, to the current issue of the Gas

Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, Section 35, which
imposes a duty of care on all persons who let out any property
containing a gas appliance in the UK.
Refill system to a pressure of between 1 and 2 bar and vent

as before.
It is the Law that any servicing is carried out by a competent

person.
Restart boiler and operate until a maximum temperature is

reached. If necessary, refer to section 14 to adjust the bypass.
Shut down boiler and vent heating system. If necessary, top up
heating system and make sure that a pressure of at least 1 bar
is indicated when system is COLD.
