5  Installation of the Combi Boiler

5.1   Mounting the Combi Boiler to the 

wall

•  Protect your hands with gloves and take 

caution to not inflict injury.

•  Be careful not to hit electrical wiring, gas, or 

water piping while drilling holes.

CAUTION

•  The weight of the appliance will be applied 

to the wall. If the strength of the wall is not 

sufficient, reinforcement must be done to 

prevent the transfer of vibration.

•  Install the appliance on a vertical wall and 

ensure that it is level.

NOTICE

Do not drop or apply unnecessary force to the 

appliance when installing. Internal parts may be 

damaged and may become highly dangerous.

WARNING

2.  Hang the Combi Boiler on the Wall Mounting 

Bracket.

3.  Affix the Mounting Bracket (Lower) to the wall 

by 2 screws.

1.  Ensure that the Wall Mounting Bracket is 

leveled.

 

Drill holes for the Wall Mounting Bracket and 

affix the Wall Mounting Bracket securely to the 

wall by 5 screws.

 

Finally, make sure the bracket can support the 

weight of the Combi Boiler.
