For your Safety
1. This appliance must have been installed in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions and the regulations in
force.
2. Any modification that may interfere with the normal
operation of the appliance without express written

infringe the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations.

correctly fitted.
4. Do not interfere with any sealed components on this
boiler.

Right Side
- 5mm
Front

for storage purposes. Do not obstruct any purpose
provided ventilation openings.
8. Flammable materials must not be stored in close
proximity to your boiler.
9. Avoid skin contact when your boiler is in operation, as
some surfaces may get hot e.g. pipework.
10. Ensure that the flue terminal, outside the house, does
not become damaged or obstructed, particularly by foliage.
11. It is important that the condensate drain system is not
blocked, modified or damaged in any way as this would
affect the operation of your boiler. Your installer should
have insulated any exposed pipework (Fig. 5).
