This boiler will require 2 or more operatives to move it to its
installation site, remove it from its packaging base and during
movement into its installation location. Manoeuvring the boiler
may include the use of a sack truck and involve lifting, pushing
and pulling. The use of 1" pipe stubs of suitable lengths may
be temporarily screwed into the boiler tappings to act as
handles.
Caution should be exercised during these operations.
Operatives should be knowledgeable in handling techniques
when performing these tasks and the following precautions
should be considered:
•
Split the boiler down to reduce the weight, e.g. remove
casing and hardware pack. Refer to Frame 9.
•
Be physically capable.
•
Use PPE as appropriate, e.g. gloves, safety footwear.
During all manoeuvres and handling actions, every attempt
should be made to ensure the following unless unavoidable
and/or the weight is light.
•
Keep back straight.
•
Avoid twisting at the waist.
•
Avoid upper body/top heavy bending.

IMPORTANT.
These appliances are certificated by the British
Standards Institution for safety and performance. It is
important, therefore, that no external control devices, e.g. flue
dampers, economisers etc., are directly connected to these
appliances unless covered by these Installation and Servicing
Instructions or otherwise recommended by
Caradon Ideal
Limited
in writing. If in doubt please enquire.
Any direct connection of a control device not approved by
Caradon Ideal Limited
could invalidate the BSI Certification
and the normal appliance warranty. It could also infringe the
Gas Safety Regulations and the above regulations or other
statutory requirements.
SAFE HANDLING OF SUBSTANCES
Care should be taken when handling the boiler insulation
panels, which can cause irritation to the skin. No asbestos,
mercury or CFCs are included in any part of the boiler.
LOCATION OF BOILER
The boiler must be installed on a flat and level floor, capable of
adequately supporting the weight of the boiler and any ancillary
equipment.
The boiler may be fitted on a combustible floor.
Insulation is not necessary, unless required by the local
authority.
The boiler must not be fitted outside.
Timber Framed Buildings
If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed building it should
be fitted in accordance with theInstitute of Gas Engineering
document IGE/UP/7:1998.
Bathrooms
The boiler may be installed in any room or internal space,
although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of
the current I.E.E. (BS 7671) Wiring Regulations and, in
Scotland, the electrical provisions of the building regulations
applicable in Scotland with respect to the installation of the
boiler in a room or internal space containing a bath or shower.
For Ireland reference should be made to the current ETCI rules
for electrical installations and I.S. 813: 2002.
Where a room-sealed appliance is installed in a room
containing a bath or shower then the appliance and any
electrical switch or appliance control utilising mains electricity
should be so situated that it cannot be touched by a person
using the bath or shower.
Where installation will be in an unusual location, special
procedures may be necessary and BS.6798 gives detailed
guidance on this aspect.
Compartment Installations
A compartment used to enclose the boiler MUST be designed
and constructed specially for this purpose.
An existing cupboard or compartment may be used, providing it
is modified for the purpose.
