of worktop above the boiler is required
to provide access for servicing.

the boiler and unpack the carton
containing the remaining items.
4.4 Installing the Boiler

the boiler and type of flue, prepare
the wall as described in Section 9.
Ensure that the flue terminal position
complies with the necessary
clearances.
2. Make the water connections as
described in Section 5.
If access will be restricted, make
any connections to the boiler before
placing it in its final position.
Refer to Section 7 if the boiler is to
be used on a sealed system.
If using a balanced flue system - Install
the balanced flue system before
connecting the heating system pipework
to the boiler. Once the flue system
is fitted then complete the water
connections and fill the heating system.
3. Ensure the requirements are met
for the disposal of condensate as
described in Section 6.
4. Connect the power supply as
described in Section 8.
