Just had a thought, how do you check the water pressure? we can't do ours
and have to get the next door neighbour in to do it.

thermostat/operating controls
Hi
We've just had a Worcester made by Bosh Combi-Boiler installed which I =
find easy to manage. The clock is the type whereby there are teeth =
around the outside aaprox 4 inch diameter disk that you push inwards for =
the on time. At 3 o'clock there's a 3 position lever switch, up for =
continuous, middle timer and bottom off. There's a round knob with a =
prominent raised marker which is the water thermostat around its =
outside, on the panel there are raised single dots. We don't bother =
moving it as it's fine how it was set up by the engineer. The room =
thermostat was not replaced which is tactile too. There are a few =
buttons that I've never had to touch either. These are well spaced out =
and are clearly definable i.e. there's a rectangle smooth, rectangle =
with a raised triangle and a round one. It's clear that a lot of =
thought has been given to the design.
My partner informs me that the owner / user manual is available on the =
web as a PDF file.

Can anyone advise me as to what they are using in relation=20

Thanks in anticipation for any assistance and provision of=20
