VerifiedHi I am Rick, UK Plumber, and I specialize on Boiler problems, did the problem exist before the boiler was serviced, if so what did the service engineer say? if it is a new fault then you need to ask the engineer if he altered any settings, Rick
I am not able to control print size I am afraid, good luck with your system, merry Xmas, Rick
