introduction

The

 mexico hE 

 is a floor standing, room sealed, 

condensing boiler featuring full sequence automatic spark 

ignition and fan assisted combustion.

Due to the very high efficiency of the boiler condensate 

is produced from the flue gases and this is drained to a 

suitable disposal point through the plastic waste pipe at the 

right lower rear of the boiler.  A condensate ‘plume’ will also 

often be visible at the flue terminal.

Safety

Current gas safety (Installation & Use) 

Regulations or rules in force.

in your own interest, and that of safety, it is the law 

that this boiler must be installed by a Gas Safe 

Registered Engineer.

 

in iE the installation must be carried out by a 

Registered Gas installer and installed in accordance 

with the current edition of i.S. 813 “domestic Gas 

installations”, the current Building Regulations and 

reference should be made to the current ETCi rules 

for electrical installation.

It is essential that the instructions in this booklet are 

strictly followed, for safe and economical operation of 

the boiler.

Electricity Supply

The appliance must be earthed.

Supply 230 V - 50 Hz.    The fusing should be 3A.

This appliance is intended to be connected to the supply via a

poles, serving only the boiler and system controls. Alternatively, a 
3-pin UNSWiTCHED socket may be used. 

important notes

•  This appliance must not be operated without 

 

the casing correctly fitted and forming an adequate seal.

•  if the boiler is installed in a compartment then the compartment

on this appliance be used incorrectly or tampered with.

•  if it is known or suspected that a fault exists on the boiler then it 

MUST NOT BE USED

 until the fault has been corrected by a Gas 

S

Afe Registered Engineer or in iE a Registered Gas installer.

 

All Gas Safe Registered Engineers carry a Gas Safe Register iD card, and have a registration number. Both should be recorded                                                                 

in the
