Regulations and directives
It is law that all gas appliances are installed and serviced by a 
CORGI registered installer in accordance with the regulations. 
Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to prosecution. 
It is in your own interest, and that of safety, to ensure the law 
is complied with.
The installation must also be in accordance with the latest 
I.E.E (BS.7671) Wiring Regulations, water regulations, the 
building regulations and the Building Standards (Scotland) and 
any relevant requirements of the local authority.
It is a requirement and in your own interest, and that of safety 
that this boiler must be installed by a CORGI registered 
installer, in accordance with the relevant requirements of the 
current Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, 
The Building Regulations, current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations 
and the relevant British Standard Codes of Practise.
Detailed recommendations are contained in the following 
British Standard Codes of Practice:
BS. 5440:1 Flues (for gas appliances of rated input not 
exceeding 70 kW).
BS. 5440:2 Ventilation (for gas appliances of rated input not 
exceeding 70 kW).
BS. 5449 Forced circulation hot water systems. 
BS. 5546 Installation of gas hot water supplies for domestic 
purposes (2nd. family Gases).
BS. 6798 Installation of gas fired hot water boilers of rated 
input not exceeding 60 kW.
BS. 6891 Low pressure installation pipes.
IGE/UP/1b Tightness testing and purging domestic sized gas 
installations.
Health and & Safety Document No. 635.
The Electricity at Work Regulations, 1989.
The manufacturer's notes must not be taken, in any way, as 
overriding statutory obligations.
The design and construction of the Buderus wall-mounted 
condensing gas boiler 600 - 11S/19S/24S/24C conforms to the 
basic specifications listed in the European directive governing 
gas-fired appliances 90/396/EEC, and with respect to EN 625, 
EN 483 and EN 677.
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.
Bathroom Installations
This appliance is rated IPX4D.
The boiler may be installed in any room or internal space, 
although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of 
the current IEE (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.
If the appliance is to be installed in a room containing a bath or 
shower then, providing water jets are not going to be used for 
cleaning purposes (as in communal baths/showers), the 
appliance can be installed in Zone 3, as detailed in BS.7671.
Compartment Installations
A compartment used to enclose the boiler should be designed 
and constructed especially for this purpose.
An existing cupboard or compartment may be used, provided 
that it is modified for the purpose.
In both cases, details of essential features of cupboard/ 
compartment design, including airing cupboard installation, 
are to conform to the following: 
BS 6798 (No cupboard ventilation is required - see 'Air Supply' 
for details).
It is not necessary to have a purpose-provided air vent in the 
room or internal space in which the boiler is installed. Neither 
is it necessary to ventilate a cupboard or compartment in which 
the boiler is installed, due to the low surface temperatures of 
the boiler casing during operation; therefore the requirements 
of BS 6798, Clause 12, and BS 5440:2 may be disregarded.
The position selected for installation MUST allow adequate 
space for servicing in front of the boiler.
For the minimum clearances required for safety and 
subsequent service, see the wall mounting template. 
In addition, sufficient space may be required to allow lifting 
access to the wall mounting plate.
Wall-mounted condensing gas boilers must only be operated 
with the combustion air/flue gas systems especially devised 
and authorised for this type of boiler.
NOTE
Observe the corresponding technical rules and 
the building supervisory and statutory 
regulations when installing and operating the 
system.
WARNING!
Keep the burner-control unit housing CLOSED 
when working on water-bearing components.
NOTE
It is mandatory to clean and service the system 
once a year. This includes an inspection of the 
entire system to see if it is in full working order. 
Defects and faults must be eliminated 
immediately.
NOTE
When instructions aren’t followed, warranty 
expires.
