Appliance Location
The appliance is not permitted to be installed in mobile units, caravans or trailers.
Before fitting the appliance, ensure it will be located on a firm and level surface. If required, the appliance level can be adjusted using
adjustment legs located at the front of the appliance.
No special hearth is required as the appliance has its own integral impervious steel base tray and air gap..
Also ensure that there will be enough clearance around the sides and rear of the boiler to allow for the boiler to be manoeuvred into
position and to provide additional ventilation,
EOGB Advise a minimum of a 10mm gap around the sides and rear of the boiler.
(Note,
depending on which flue exit options is used, some additional clearances may be required.
(Please see separate “EOGB Sapphire
Boiler Flue instructions” for minimum gap clearances).
As the boiler is serviced from the front, a minimum clearance of 750mm must also be provided in front of the appliance.
Sound levels must also be considered, please consider the following to ensure the appliance does not emit unwanted noise levels.
1.
Avoid locating the appliance on tiled surfaces where possible, tiles will amplify noise, particularly if the wall construction
is hollow.
2.
If a flue section passes through a bedroom, it is capable of transmitting noise.
3.
Low level flue terminals can produce exhaust noise externally, this should be considered when sitting near an adjacent
property.
