Info

To top up your system and increase the pressure, you will need to use the filling loop. This is located beneath the boiler, it most usually resembles a stop tap which is connected by a metal hose. To fill the system, use the tap you have located to open and close the filling loop. When the tap is opened it will allow fresh water to flow into your Central Heating system. As this happens you will hear the water passing through the valves into the system. It is recommended that you open the valve slowly to allow the system to fill up gradually. When you do this a steady increase in pressure will be seen on the pressure gauge in the same way as you would see an increase on a car tyre gauge if you were inflating a tyre. If you cannot see your pressure gauge while filling the system it is a good idea to have a friend look at it for you while you are turning the tap. When the recommended pressure is reached close the valve by turning it in the opposite direction to which you opened it. There is no need to worry if your system does accidentally become over pressurised. All modern systems are designed with safety in mind and a pressure safety valve is incorporated into the plumbing. This acts like an overflow pipe releasing the excess pressure and allowing the system to revert to the recommended levels. The safety valve may make a noise as it releases this excess pressure sounding like a thumping noise, again do not worry, this sound will stop when the system pressure reduces to a lower level. Thermostats The temperature for upstairs and downstairs can be controlled individually by using the thermostats which are located in the ground floor hallway and the main bedroom. Radiators If you discover that a radiator is only partially heating up, then it may need bleeding of any trapped air. Contact Sovereign maintenance as the system may need re-pressurising following this. TRV’s Thermostatic radiator valves are fitted to your radiators. These valves can be used by turning the head to control the
temperature in an individual room. Tubular Heater A tubular heater is located in the airing cupboard. The on/off switch is located in adjacent bedroom. Hot Water The hot water is provided from the boiler. All the relevant information for the operation of the hot water system can be found in Section 7 of this Guide. e. Ventilation Ventilation of your <strong>home</strong> is important A gap should be left under the internal doors and above the floor coverings to allow circulation of air. Ventilation in your <strong>home</strong> is controlled in several ways. Firstly, some of your windows have trickle ventilation as indicated in the picture. Vent closed Vent open
