Installation & Servicing

11 PREPARING THE WALL

1. Cut the appropriate hole in the wall for insertion of the

terminal assembly.

Notes.

a. Make good the hole on the INSIDE of the building to

the given dimensions BEFORE fitting the boiler, to
facilitate sealing between the terminal and the wall
when the boiler is in position.

b. The terminal MUST NOT come into contact with a

combustible material such as that used in non-
standard construction of timber frame and
plasterboard etc.

2. Place the boiler in the selected position.
