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 the 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.

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
