9.0 Installation
NOTE: ­ Installers of this appliance must have undergone Baxi Ecogen Training and been approved to install this appliance.
9.1 Unpacking & Initial Preparation
NOTE: Maintain the appliance upright at all times. Do not lay the appliance on its back, sides or front.
Drilling of the wall or ceiling for flue and pipe work must be completed before the appliance is fitted to the wall.
The gas supply, gas type and pressure must be checked for suitability before connection (see Section 7.5 ).
a) Remove the shrink wrap and literature pack.
b) Remove the upper packaging to leave the appliance on the base packaging ( Fig. 23 ).
c) Remove the back plate from the appliance by removing the 2 securing screws and undo the 2 fixing nuts on the top of the panel using a 10mm spanner ( Fig. 24 ).
d) Take care:­ The back panel can fall suddenly on release.
1. After considering the site requirements (see Section 7.0 ) position the fixing template on the wall ensuring it is level both horizontally and vertically. Ensure that there is
adequate clearance for the lifting equipment (see Section 7.2 ).
2. Mark the position of the six most suitable fixing holes for the wall plate positions B+C (as marked on the template). Where possible mark the position of the centre top
fixing position A (marked on template).
3. Mark the position of the centre of the flue hole (rear exit) using the paper template supplied. For side flue exit, mark as shown ( Fig. 25 ).
4. If required, mark the position of the gas and water pipes.
Remove the template.
5. Cut the hole for the flue (minimum diameter 116mm, a minimum horizontal hole of 116mm will give the correct clearance for the flue to run at the required angle).
6. Drill the single hole (10mm diameter for wall plugs provided) as previously marked and position the back plate on the wall position A on template. Push one of the wall
plugs supplied through the plate and secure it to the wall with one of the 80mm screws ( Fig. 26 ). If is not possible to use Position A use one of the other six positions
marked B+C.
7. Check that the top edge is horizontal with a spirit level. Retighten the screw. Drill the remaining 6 positions at B+C and secure the back plate to the wall.
8. For correct installation the back plate must be absolutely flat and vertical ­ check before mounting the boiler. If there is any unevenness or the back plate is not
mounted in the vertical plane use packing to correct any out of true.
