Firebird Boiler - how to access/bleed (enviromax slimline)

gb153

Is anyone familiar with this model of boiler (pics of Firebird Enviromax Slimline 20-26kW included). I'm familiar with the general bleeding process but not sure how to do it with this model as I'm in a new house.

One access panel has a controller behind it but no sign of a reset button and bleed point. Unless its behind one of the other panels? The back panel has the 'nib' type points which don't look to be in good shape so I don't want to try access anything unless I'm sure. From the online manuals it looks like there should be a common enough Riello behind one of the panels.

TIA for any help

Are you bleeding the oil or the circ pump??

try opening the opposite side of the boiler

you will find the burner

There are 6 points on the rear panel. To me they don't look like they are designed for ease of access but I could be wrong. Not sure what tool should be used. The closest one looks bent out of whatever shape it was in originally. There's also a bigger square point on the bottom in the middle which is a bit rusty.

2 examples

Not sure what is the difference? Usually would follow procedure similar to this clip which has worked in the past:

in the bigger square as you said put 2 flat head screwdrivers in together and turn

If the boiler is only running for a few seconds and cutting out without firing then burner problem with oil purge possibly required but if oil tank hasn't run dry then unlikely to be fuel supply problem, if you have to reset the burner reset button, once you access it, then burner problem but if boiler is actually firing for more than say 30 secs or so and then stopping then possibly circ pump problem or setting as it will be circulating very little water at 13W. (watts).

A simple push on the reset button was all it needed once I got access. But thanks John.G for this further info....good to know for the future 👍
