Urgent Please help- how do I switch on heating

renfirsttimebuy

Hi everyone.... powermax 135 how do I switch on central heating. Thanks

according to the picture it is on, orange light below clock (CH). Try pressing the button below ch and above copy to see if it turns on and off. Left hand switch means cont- (continuous always on), off and timed which will run on whatever is programmed into the clock.

The switch is set to continuous?

Is heating not on?

Well you'll need to have the switch on the far left in the Timer position, the CONT setting as far as I know is for your hot water only. You'll also need to make sure your CH is set how you want it via the timer.

The CONT (continuous) setting is for hot water only, as shown by the icons on the control.

It seems I'm the only one who has 😉

According to Mike Bryant "a lot of people seem to have lost the User Instructions that came with their Powermax. Setting the programmer is a virtually impossible task without them, and is still not easy even WITH the instructions!"

Fortunately he links to the pdf instructions on his site ..

Looks like an interesting concept that boiler. I'd never heard of them, but they've been out of production for over 25 years so fingers crossed it's been looked after well.

Yes. Although not sure why you need heating at the moment anyway 😃
