If you have a history of skin complaint you may be susceptible to irritation. High dust levels are usual only if the material
is broken.
Normal handling should not cause discomfort, but follow
normal good hygiene and wash your hands before eating,
drinking or going to the lavatory.
If you do suffer irritation to the eyes or severe irritation to the
skin seek medical attention.

Electrical Supply
WARNING: This boiler must be earthed.
All system components shall be of an approved type and shall
be connected in accordance with the current issue of BS7671
and any applicable local regulations.
All external wiring between the appliance and the electrical
supply and earthing requirements shall comply with the current
IEE Regulations.
Connection of the boiler and system controls to the mains
supply must be through a common isolator and must be fused
3A, maximum. This method of connection must be by a fused
double pole isolating switch, with a minimum contact separation
of 3mm on both poles. The switch should be readily accessible
and preferably adjacent to the appliance. It should supply the
appliance only and be easily identifiable as so doing.
Alternatively, an unswitched shuttered socket outlet and 3A
fused 3 pin plug, both to the current issue of BS1363 may be
used provided that they are not used in a room containing a bath
or shower.
Wiring to the boiler must be PVC 85
than 0.75mm2 (24/0.20mm).

Manual Handling Guidance
During the appliance installation it will be necessary to employ
caution and assistance whilst lifting as the appliance exceeds
the recommended weight for a one man lift.
In certain situations it may be required to use a mechanical
handling aid.
Take care to avoid trip hazards, slippery or wet surfaces.
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
The adhesives and sealants used in this appliance are cured
and give no known hazard in this state.

Heating System Controls
The heating system should have installed: a programmer and
room thermostat controlling the boiler.
Thermostatic radiator valves may be installed, however they
must not be fitted in a room where the room thermostat is
located.

Important Information
Note: For further information, see the current issue of the
Building Regulations, approved document L1, ( in the UK) and
the references:
1) GIL 59, 2000: Central heating system specification (CheSS)
and
2) GPG 302, 2001: Controls for domestic central heating
system and hot water. BRECSU.
Air in the heating system
Persistent air in the heating system may indicate leaks in the
system or corrosion taking place. Call your Installation/Servicing
company.
Boilers Installed in a Compartment
If the boiler is fitted in a compartment, cupboard etc., do not
obstruct the purpose built compartment vents or the grill on the
boiler.
Do not use the compartment for storage purposes.
Draining and Filling
Draining and filling
Caution: The boiler must only be drained and filled by a
competent person.
If the boiler is to be out of use for any period of time during severe
weather conditions we recommend the whole system including
the boiler, be drained off to avoid the risk of freezing up. If an
immersion heater is fitted to the hot water cylinder make sure it
is switched off.
Protection Against Freezing
In this boiler there is a built- in frost protection which will cause
the boiler, when it is switched off at the control knob, to operate
in the event of the water temperature in the boiler dropping
below 5oC. The boiler will switch off again when the temperature
of the water in the boiler reaches about 13oC. This will only
protect the central heating system if the external controls are set
so that the pump runs continuously, that is they are calling for
heat.
NOTE: The frost protection will not operate if the electrical
supply is turned off.
If the boiler is to be out of use for any period of time during severe
weather conditions we recommend that the whole of the system
including the boiler, be drained off to avoid the risk of freezing up.
If an immersion heater is fitted to the hot water cylinder make
sure it is switched off.
WARNING: Do not operate the boiler without water.
If in doubt, consult your servicing company.

between “0” and "Max", see diagram 1.
"Max" is approximately 82°C (180°F).
The boiler lighting operation is now automatic as follows:
The fan operates and after a short period of time, the spark
ignition operates, the solenoid opens, then the burner will light
shown by the burner ON indicator (green) on the control panel
lighting up.

1.7 Condensate Drain
A plastic drain pipe may need to be fitted to allow discharge of
condensate to a drain.
Condensate should, if possible, be discharged into the internal
household draining system. If this is not practical, discharge can
be made externally into the household drainage system or a
purpose designed soak away, see section 4.11 for more details.
1.8 Boiler Location
This boiler is not suitable for outside installation.
The boiler must not be installed in a room used or intended to
be used as sleeping accommodation or a room containing a
bath or shower.
In GB this is the current I.E.E. WIRING REGULATIONS and
BUILDING REGULATIONS.
In IE reference should be made to the current edition of I.S.813
"Domestic Gas Installations" and the current ETCI rules.
The boiler casing can be fitted at two heights. Refer to
diagram 1.4.
The boiler is assembled at the factory with the control box and
heat shield fitted in the lower position.
The boiler must stand on a level floor, conforming with local
authority requirements and building regulations.
The base temperature is within the requirements of the current
issue of BS5258. The boiler may stand on a wooden floor but
a metal base plate is required to protect plastic tiles and similar
floor coverings.
Suitable installation clearance needs to be available at the
sides of the boiler to facilitate direct connection of pipework and
making good around the flue assembly. The actual clearance
required will vary with site conditions.
When the boiler is to be installed level with work surfaces and
the like, minimum clearances should be provided as shown in
diagram 1.5. Work tops which overhang the cupboard sides,
almost in contact with the casing top, require a larger minimum
air gap. Flush sided fixtures require the same overall minimum
space but can have a reduced air gap on one side.
Boilers to be installed under work tops or fixtures, should be
positioned to provide minimum clearances as shown in diagram
1.6. To facilitate minimum clearances it may be necessary to
modify kitchen units and fixtures.
Combustible material must be a minimum of 25mm (1in) away
from the flue components, see diagram 1.6.
A front access clearance for servicing of 700mm, should be
provided.
The boiler can be installed within a cupboard, refer to minimum
ventilation and clearances as shown in diagram 1.7
If the boiler is to be installed in a cupboard or compartment,
make sure that nothing will obstruct the openings/vents in the
compartment.
A compartment used to enclose the boiler must be designed
and constructed specifically for this purpose. An existing
cupboard or compartment modified for the purpose may be
used. Details of essential features of cupboard or compartment
design are given in the current issue of BS6798.
Where the installation of the boiler will be in an unusual location,
special procedures are necessary the current issue of BS6798
gives detailed guidance on this aspect.
