Hello everyone it's 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today how to set the timer
on your Combi Boiler, this is how to set the actual time and also how to set the
time for your central heating to come on and then set the time for when you want
it to go off, and that is on this clock here, right let's get cracking. This is
the timer clock here and if your clock is completely broken, it's not keeping
time there's a link above now about how to replace this entire clock. At the
moment the switch is in the zero position which is off and that means the
heating will never ever come on, in the central position this means that the
programming is active so whatever you've selected on your timer, which is what
we're going to do in a minute, it will then activate the heating at those
points. And in the up ie. number one position this means that the heating is
on constant so the heating will be on permanently, and it will only go off if
the temperature of a room thermostat is reached. Okay so I'm just going to set it
back to the off position and at the moment the time on the clock is saying
19:03 this is a 24-hour clock and where that arrow is pointing is saying what
the current time is, so about seven o'clock at night, now I'm just gonna have
a look at my watch and my watch is saying it's ten to four in the
afternoon, so we need to set the timer clock to ten to four, now what you do
is you put your fingers around the outside and just spin it, so just keep
spinning it around, this is a 24-hour clock so this is five in the morning,
six o'clock the morning, seven o'clock in the morning eight o'clock in the morning.
Keep going round and round till we reach 1550, now when you get
close you can just put your finger in there and just move the second hand
gently.
Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to set all the timer switches to off so
that it never ever comes on and then we will set the specific times that we want.
Okay so even if it's on timer the boiler will never ever fire up for the heating,
Right so what we want to do now is set the time that we want it to come on,
now this is quite hard if you've got sausage fingers like me, well I want it
to come on at four o'clock in the afternoon and go off at seven o'clock at
night, so you're pushing those switches to the outward position and then I want
it to come on at six o'clock in the morning and go off about seven o'clock
in the morning, again this is quite hard with sausage fingers, might be easier
with a small flat bladed screwdriver or if you've got small fingers then that's
okay. Now these work in 15 minute intervals so each one of these switches
is 15 minutes, but just to prove that this works I'm just going to forward the
time manually and as you can hear the boiler is firing up because it's just
reached past four o'clock.
You can hear it firing up there so the heating is now activated,
let's just turn it around a bit further and we get past seven o'clock and the
heating should be switched off, and as you can hear it has switched off now.
Right let's check my watch again okay it's nearly five to four again so I'm
just gonna set it back to the correct time, so it's five to four now and
actually it is winter and my missus is going to go crazy if the heating goes
off at seven o'clock so I'm gonna just set it to go off at nine o'clock
at night. There is a link above now about the front panel of the Ariston Microgenus
boiler and what all the buttons do, it's definitely worth checking out that
video if you haven't got an instruction manual. And now we need a bit of plumbers
magic, a lovely cup of tea. And after all that hard work it's time for a
