For the older logics you turn the dial slowly from just past e to maximum holding at maximum for 1 second then back to e for 1 second then back to maximum the trick is slow and steady. Not like the baxi which can be done quickly
thanks Tomcat for sharing this. I had an ideal independent which I could not get in to service mode recently. following the MI it was similar to the ideal logic (turning back to 10clock etc) Luckily I was just servicing a friends boiler not a paying customer what do you suggest if you are out servicing and you struggle to get any particular boiler in to service mode when trying to gas rate / CPA ?
