Safety Precautions and Important Warnings
Prior to operating or servicing the Ideal Logic Combi 24, ensure that the electricity supply to the boiler is switched off at the mains isolation switch. This crucial step minimizes the risk of electric shock during maintenance or repairs. Never attempt any work on the boiler unless you are qualified and competent to do so; always prioritize safety. If unsure, consult a Gas Safe registered engineer. The boiler operates at high temperatures; avoid direct contact with any hot surfaces to prevent burns. Always allow sufficient time for the boiler to cool down before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Regularly inspect the flue pipe for blockages or damage. A blocked or damaged flue pipe poses a serious risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. If you suspect a gas leak, immediately turn off the gas supply at the mains and open windows for ventilation. Never attempt to repair a gas leak yourself; contact a qualified gas engineer immediately. The presence of carbon monoxide is invisible and odorless; install carbon monoxide detectors for early warning.
Keep children away from the boiler at all times; the high temperatures and moving parts present a significant risk of injury. Ensure adequate ventilation around the boiler to prevent the buildup of condensation and ensure efficient operation. Consult the user manual for detailed instructions regarding the location and installation of the appliance, paying particular attention to ventilation requirements. Always use original Ideal Heating spare parts when carrying out repairs or replacements. Using non-approved parts can compromise the safety and efficiency of the boiler.

Follow all instructions in this manual meticulously to ensure safe operation of your Ideal Logic Combi 24 boiler.
Maintenance and Cleaning Procedures
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your Ideal Logic Combi 24 boiler. Before commencing any cleaning or maintenance, always switch off the boiler’s electricity supply at the mains isolation switch. This precaution prevents electrical hazards during the process. To clean the exterior of the boiler, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Periodically inspect the air vents and ensure they are free from dust or debris. Blocked air vents can restrict airflow and impact boiler efficiency. Gently remove any dust or debris with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. The condensate pipe should also be checked regularly for blockages. A blocked condensate pipe can lead to water overflow and potential damage. If a blockage is detected, carefully clear it using appropriate tools. Never use excessive force, as this could damage the pipe. Inspect the boiler’s external casing for signs of damage or corrosion. If any damage is found, contact a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer for repair.
The frequency of cleaning will depend on the environment in which the boiler is located; more frequent cleaning might be required in dusty or dirty environments. Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for specific cleaning recommendations. For more thorough cleaning or if you encounter any issues you cannot resolve, consult a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. They possess the expertise and tools to perform comprehensive maintenance and identify any potential problems before they escalate. Regular maintenance, including cleaning, will help to extend the life of your boiler and maintain its efficiency, ensuring optimal heating and hot water performance.
