IMPORTANT. These appliances are certificated by the British
Standards Institution for safety and performance. It is, therefore,
important that no external control devices, e.g. flue dampers,
economisers etc., are directly connected to these appliances -
unless covered by these Installation and Servicing instructions
or otherwise recommended by Caradon Ideal Limited in writing.
If in doubt please enquire.
Any direct reconnection of a control device not approved by
Caradon Ideal Limited could invalidate the BSI Certification and
the normal appliance warranty. It could also infringe the Gas
Safety Regulations and the above regulations.
SAFE HANDLING OF SUBSTANCES
Care should be taken when handling the boiler insulation panels
which can cause irritation to the skin. No asbestos, mercury or
CFCs are included in any part of this boiler.
LOCATION OF BOILER
The boiler must be installed on a flat and vertical wall, capable of
adequately supporting the weight of the boiler and any ancillary
equipment.
The boiler may be fitted on a combustible wall and insulation
between the wall and the boiler is not necessary - unless required
by the local authority. The boiler must not be fitted outside.
Timber Framed Buildings
If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed building it should be
fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas Engineering document
IGE/UP/7:1998.
Bathrooms
This range of appliances is rated IP 1XB.
The boiler may be installed in any room or internal space, although
particular attention is drawn to the requirements of the current
I.E.E. (BS.7671) Wiring Regulations and, in Scotland, the electrical
provisions of the building regulations applicable in Scotland with
respect to the installation of the boiler in a room or internal space
containing a bath or shower. For Ireland reference should be made
to the current ETCI rules for electrical installations and
I.S.813:2002.
If the appliance is to be installed in a room containing a bath or

cleaning purposes (such as communal baths/showers), the
appliance can be installed in Zone 3, as detailed in BS.7671.
