C.O.S.H.H.
Materials  used  in  the  manufacture  of  this  appliance  are  non-
hazardous and no special precautions are required  when fitting 
or servicing this appliance.

PREPARATION

1. Load Check

A  load  check  should  be  taken  into  consideration  when 
installing high output kW boilers.

2. Boiler location

The  boiler  must  be  fitted  on  a  wall  that  will  provide  an 
adequate  fixing,  and  should  be  fitted  in  a  location  that  the 
boiler  and  pipe-work  are  not  subject  to  frost  and  damp 
conditions.

3. Central heating (design & installation)

Detailed recommendations are given in BS EN 12828:2003, 
BS 6700: 2006+A1: 2009 and CP 342-2:1974

Pipes  forming  part  of  the  useful  heating  surface  should  be 
insulated to prevent any potential heat loss or frost damage  
(BS 6700:1997).

Drain valves should be fitted at the lowest point of the system 
pipe work in an accessible position.

Drain  valves  should  be  in  accordance  with  BS  2879:  1980 
and copper tube to BS EN 1057: 1996. is recommended.

LOCATION
The boiler can be installed in almost any location within a do-
mestic or commercial property, however consideration should be 
given to future maintenance. Never leave the boiler switched off 
if there is a danger of having temperatures below 0°C in the room 
where it is located.

We recommend that a minimum  clearance of 400 mm should 
be allocated for: the removal of the front cover, adequate access 
to the boiler plumbing and the internal electrical connections. A 
50 mm allowance should  be made  at either side of the boiler to 
allow free flow air into the boiler case and allow access to screws 
on the boiler case.

THE  BOILER  MUST  BE  INSTALLED  IN  THE  UPRIGHT  POSI-
TION, FAILURE TO DO SO WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRAN-
