Common symbols include: Siphon Fill Mode (low burn for approximately 15 minutes to fill condensate trap), Key Lock (child lock enabled on Greenstar models), Air Purge Mode (pump pulses without firing after installation), Temperature Blocking Mode (flow temperature rising too quickly indicating possible circulation issues), and SE (service reminder after approximately 2,324 operating hours). If any symbol persists longer than expected or you are unsure, contact a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Do Worcester Bosch recommend treating the central heating water?

Yes, Worcester Bosch recommend using a suitable water treatment in the form of an inhibitor in the heating water system, following the water treatment manufacturer's instructions. The inhibitor concentration level should be checked every 12 months or sooner if system water content is lost. This helps protect the boiler and system components from corrosion and scale buildup.
