1.0 UNPACKING
The appliance is delivered in 2 cartons.
1.1 The large carton contains the boiler, and the Installation/Servicing and Users Instructions.
1.2 The second carton contains the mounting jig assembly, complete with isolating valves, the assembly
fixing screws and wall plugs (x4), the boiler mounting nuts and washers (x2), drilling template, flue

2.4 Using a 10 mm drill, drill 70 mm deep holes to accept the wall plugs, and insert wall plugs.
2.5 Fit the mounting jig assembly using the four fixing screws provided (Ensure that all the service cocks
are in the OFF position). Operate valves several times to ensure they are free.
