These can cause irritation to skin, eyes and the respiratory
tract.
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,

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).

installation/service company.
Sealed Components
WARNING: DO NOT interfere with any sealed components
within this appliance.
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.

1.7 Boiler Location
This boiler is not suitable for outside installation.
The boiler casing can be fitted at two heights. Refer to
diagram 1.3.
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 1.4. 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
1.5. To facilitate minimum clearances it may be necessary to
modify kitchen units and fixtures.
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 1.6.
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.
The boiler may be installed in any room, although particular
attention is drawn to the requirements of BS7671 with respect
to the installation of a boiler in a room containing a bath or
shower. Any electrical switch should be so positioned that it
cannot be touched by a person using the bath or shower. The
electrical provisions of the Building Standards (Scotland)
Regulations apply to such installations in Scotland.
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.
1.8 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.
Note: For further information, see the current issue of the
Building Regulations, approved document L1, and the
