USER MANUAL FOR INDEPENDENT PELLET or CHIP FIRED BOILERS
SUPPLEMENTARY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE UK MARKET
TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THOSE IN THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET
These instructions together with those in the instruction booklet cover the basic principles
to ensure the satisfactory installation of the boiler, although detail may need slight
modification to suit particular local site conditions.
In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority Byelaws
and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the boiler. If any guidance
contained within this manual contradicts advice given in the main instruction manual then the most
stringent advice must apply.
It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirements may be met by adopting the relevant
recommendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BS EN 15287-1:2007 as an alternative
means to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained following the guidance given
in Approved Document J.
Please note that it is a legal requirement under England and Wales Building Regulations that the
installation of the boiler is either carried out under Local Authority Building Control approval or is
installed by a Competent Person registered with a Government approved Competent Persons
Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a Scheme and a listing of their Registered Competent Persons
can be found on their website at
www.hetas.co.uk
.
CO Alarms:-
Building regulations require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass
appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the same room as
the appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS
EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s instructions. Provision of an alarm must not be
considered a substitute for either installing the appliance correctly or ensuring regular servicing and
maintenance of the appliance and chimney system.
HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Special care must be taken when installing the boiler such that the requirements of the Health
and Safety at Work Act are met.
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.
Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the
skin. In case of contact wash immediately with plenty of water.
Asbestos
This boiler contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course
of installation then please seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protective equipment.
