Installation & Servicing

INTRODUCTION

The Classic Slimline FF330-360 is a range of automatically fully
controlled, wall mounted, balanced flue, fanned gas boilers.

The heat exchanger is cast iron. The boiler casing is of white
enamelled mild steel.

The boiler casing has a removable controls pod containing a drop-
down door. The boiler thermostat is located behind the drop- down
door.

IMPORTANT. These appliances are certificated by the BG
Technology Certification Services for safety and performance. It
is, therefore, important that no external control devices, e.g. flue
dampers, economisers etc., are directly connected to these
appliances -unless covered by these Installation and Servicing
instructions or otherwise recommended by Caradon Ideal
Limited
 in writing. If in doubt please enquire.

Any direct reconnection of a control device not approved by
Caradon Ideal Limited could invalidate the certification and the
normal appliance warranty. It could also infringe the Gas Safety
Regulations and the above regulations.

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.

LOCATION OF BOILER

The boiler must be installed on a flat and vertical  wall, capable
of adequately supporting the weight of the boiler and any
ancillary equipment.

The boiler may be fitted on a combustible wall and insulation
between the wall and the boiler is not necessary - unless
required by the local authority. The boiler must not be fitted
outside.

Timber Framed Buildings

If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed building it should be
fitted in accordance with the  Institute of Gas Engineering
document IGE/UP/7:1998.

Bathrooms

The boiler may be installed in any room or internal space,
although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of the
current I.E.E. (BS.7671) Wiring Regulations and, in Scotland, the
electrical provisions of the building regulations applicable in
Scotland with respect to the installation of the boiler in a room or
internal space containing a bath or shower.  For Ireland
reference should be made to the current ETCI rules for electrical
installations and I.S. 813: 2002.
