CO₂ at high rate
More infoHide infoThe manual says to measure the CO/CO₂ content at maximum and minimum load after calibration (sections 7.13.4 and 7.13.5) but gives no CO₂ figure. It also says that, as the product monitors the combustion continuously, you do not need to check the combustion.

Maximum CO
More infoHide infoBenchmark flowchart (Appendix G), at maximum and minimum rate. The same flowchart’s re-check box (after checking the burner, internal flue, door and case seals) says less than 335 ppm instead. The manual doesn’t explain the difference.

Working inlet pressure
More infoHide infoSection 7.13.3: at the measuring nipple on the gas valve, boiler at full load in check programme P.01, measured against atmospheric pressure. Nominal gas connection pressure (technical data): NG 20.0 mbar, LPG (G31 propane) 37.0 mbar. Diagnostics code D.087 also has a Propane 50 mbar setting; the manual gives no working pressure range for it.

Gas rate at maximum
More infoHide infoTechnical data: at 15 °C and 1013 mbar, based on hot water generation. Section 7.13.2: measure at the gas meter, front casing fitted, after at least 5 minutes in check programme P.01. That section also has a natural gas rate table listed by Qnw from the data plate (nominal, +5%, −10%), but the manual doesn’t say which row is the 627.

Flue integrity
More infoHide infoBenchmark flowchart (Appendix G): at the air inlet test point, boiler at maximum rate. Section 9.1 (troubleshooting) gives different figures as signs of recirculation at the air test point: O₂ in the intake air < 20 vol.% or intake air CO ≥ 100 ppm. The manual doesn’t explain the difference.
O₂ ≥ 20.6%
CO₂ < 0.2%
