The Midimat should be commissioned by a competent engineer. Before commissioning the appliance,
the whole gas installation including the meter MUST be purged and tested for gas soundness in accordance
with IGE/UP/1.
Caution: Open all doors and windows, extinguish naked lights and DO NOT SMOKE whilst purging the
gas line.
The entire water system must be thoroughly cleansed and flushed to remove debris, flux residues etc
before opening the boiler isolation valves and filling the boiler. Particular care must be taken where the
appliance is being retro-fitted into an old/existing system, as system silt or magenite can be very damaging
to the new boiler.
Following cleansing and flushing, the system must be dosed with a good quality water treatment to
prevent corrosion and the formation of scale.
Failure to observe these requirements will
render the guarantee on the product void. Cleansing, flushing and water treatment
must be carried out in accordance with the requirements of BS 7593:1992.
The return pipework must include some method of filtering or straining. The filter or strainer must be
fitted with isolation valves to allow easy cleaning with the minimum amount of water loss and water
replenishment.
Note: A low water pressure switch is included in the boiler and interlocked to shut the boiler down in the
event of the water pressure falling below 0.5 bar.
Note: TheMidimat boiler has heat exchangers fabricated from 316L stainless steel.
It is most important that the compatibility of any flux is checked with the flux
supplier before use, and that any flux manufacturers recommendations are strictly
followed with regards to use in conjunction with stainless steel.
6.1 filling the boiler
TheMidimat must be filled by a competent person using one of the approved methods in BS 6644:1991.
Fill the installation to the system design cold fill pressure and vent the boiler via the air release valve on the
boiler primary heat exchanger. See section 4.6 'filling the system' for guidance.
