Always use assistance if required.
>
Recommend wear suitable cut resistant gloves with good
grip to protect against sharp edges and ensure good grip
when handling appliance.
Positioning of Appliance for Final Installation –
within compartment etc. restricting installation.
>
If appliance weight is over 25 kg always use 2 persons to
move where practical.
>
Fit bracket securely onto wall before lifting appliance
into position.
>
Obtain firm grip on front and sides of appliance, lift
upwards, onto worktop if practicable.
>
Ensure stable balance achieved and lift upwards to drop
into place onto bracket.
>
If 2 persons positioning onto bracket obtain firm grip at
front and sides/base of boiler.
>
Ensure coordinated movements during 2 person lifts to
ensure equal spread of weight of load.
>
If 1 person positioning onto bracket recommend obtain
firm grip supporting base of boiler.
>
Ensure safe lifting techniques are used – keep back
straight – bend using legs - when lifting load from floor
level.
>
Do not twist – reposition feet instead.
>
Keep boiler as close as possible to body throughout lift
to minimise strain on back.

into the area to take into account access, stability of
flooring, lighting and other factors, and appropriate
measures taken.

Requirements for the installation site
4.4.1 Required minimum clearances/
installation clearances
>
When using accessories, observe the minimum clear-
ances/installation clearances (
¬ fig. 4.3
).

Recommended minimum clearances/installation clearances
Key
A 165 mm (air/flue gas duct
Æ
60/100 mm)
246 mm (air/flue gas duct
Æ
80/125 mm)
B 180 mm
C 5 mm; optimum approx. 50 mm
500 mm in front of the boiler to enable easy access for
servicing (may be provided by an opening door).
Clearance at the side is not required, but the side panels
can also be removed if there is adequate side clearance (at
least approx. 50 mm) in order to facilitate maintenance or
repair work (
¬ section 4.8
).
It is not necessary to ensure sufficient clearance between
the boiler and combustible materials or components as the
temperature of the boiler will always be less than the maxi-
mum permissible temperature of 85 °C due to its nominal
heat output.
4.4.2 Using installation templates
An installation template is supplied with the boiler to aid
wall mounting.
The template shows the following:
– The position of the fixing holes for the hanging bracket.
