under "Fire Will Not Burn".
b) the throat plate is fitted correctly (see Fig. 4.) and that it is
not distorted.
c) the door seals are in good condition.
d) If the hot water goes cold when the pump is turned on, or if
some radiators are hotter than others, then the system may
need balancing, the pump may be pumping the water too
quickly around the system, or the radiators may need

e) Ensure that the boiler reduction brick has not been fitted
