IMPORTANT.
These appliances are certificated by the BG

dampers, economisers etc., are directly connected to these
appliances -unless covered by these Installation and Servicing
instructions or otherwise recommended by
Caradon Plumbing
Limited
in writing. If in doubt please enquire.
Any direct reconnection of a control device not approved by
Caradon Plumbing 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.
