2.2 Boiler location

The unit’s combustion chamber is sealed off 
from the installation room and therefore requi-
res no compartment ventilation.
The installation room must be sufficiently well 
ventilated to prevent any dangerous condi-
tions from forming in the event of even slight 
gas leakage. This safety standard is required 
by the EEC Directive no. 90/396 for all gas 
units, including those with a so-called sealed 
chamber.
Therefore the place of installation must be 
free of dust, flammable materials or objects 
or corrosive gases. The room must be dry and 
not subject to freezing.
The boiler is designed to be installed on a solid 
wall. The wall fixing must ensure a stable and 
effective support for the appliance, using the 
bracket and fixings supplied.
If the unit is enclosed in a cupboard or moun-
ted alongside, there must be space for normal 
maintenance work. Fig. 9 and tab. 1 give the 
minimum clearances to leave around the unit.

Safe Handling of Substances

Care should be taken when handling the boiler 
insulation panels, which can cause irritation to the skin. No asbestos, mercury or CFCs are included in 
any part of the boiler.

Product Handling Advice

When handling or lifting always use safe techniques - keep your back straight, bend your knees, don’t 
twist - move your feet, avoid bending forwards and sideways and keep the load as close to your body 
as possible.
Where possible transport the boiler using a sack truck or other suitable trolley.
Always grip the boiler firmly, and before lifting feel where the weight is concentrated to establish the 
centre of gravity, repositioning yourself as necessary.
