IMPORTANT HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS:
• It is advised that two people are used to carry the carton from the van
to the point of delivery.
• Once the carton has been delivered, remove the outer carton. Care
should be taken when releasing the straps. If a sharp implement is
used, make sure the outer carton is not pierced and that the
implement is used in such a way so that it will not cause personal
injury.
• All sharp objects must be covered or the blade retracted after use and
put away in a safe place. The wall mounting frame, Installer pack,
template and bottom panel can now be removed. Care should be
taken when lifting the boiler from the base and the proper technique
for safe lifting of any heavy object must be strictly observed.
Additional requirements for roof space installation:
• The boiler must be unpacked before ascending ladder to loft space.
• Two sets of steps should be used.
• Two people should share the lifting of the boiler up to the loft hatch,
insert the boiler into the loft space tilted and slid in on its back.
• Once the appliance is removed from its packaging check the contents
against the packing list.
Before installing the appliance, ensure that the system has been
cleaned as explained on page 9

WALL MOUNTING TEMPLATE & FLUE OPENING
SAFETY:
All relevant safety precautions must be undertaken. Protective clothing,
footwear, gloves and safety goggles must be worn as appropriate.
FIXING THE MOUNTING PLATE:
▶ The boiler template shows the relative positions of the flue and the top
and bottom fixing of the mounting frame.
1. Fix the template to the wall in the desired position.
2. Drill four holes for the wall mounting plate through the template,
utilising shaded mounting holes.
Drill two holes for the bottom fixing screws.
Additional holes may be used if required.
Fig. 21 Mounting holes
REAR FLUE OUTLET
▶ The drawing opposite shows the boiler template with the flue centre
lines of both the 100mm and 125mm flue systems.
3. Mark centre line of flue to be used (3); the external diameter of the
hole can also be marked if required.
▶ If a 100mm diameter flue is to be used, a 125mm diameter hole is
required. However, if using the weather sealing collar by pushing it
through from inside the property, then a 150mm diameter hole is
required to accommodate this.
▶ The flue turret of the 100mm flue has an in-built 3° angle.
▶ If extensions are to be added then the complete flue must rise at an
angle of 3°.
▶ The 125mm diameter flue system will require the flue to rise at an
angle of 3°.
▶ Drill the hole, preferably using a core drill.
SIDE OUTLET:
4. Mark from the centre line of the wall template to the wall which the flue
will pass through (4).
▶ Allow for a rise of 52mm per metre length of flue, to give a 3° angle.
▶ Clear any debris from the site.
WARNING:
All the previous “Pre-Installation” sections
must be read and the requirements met before starting
boiler or flue installation.
CAUTION:
LIFTING AND CARRYING
▶ Only lift a manageable weight, or ask for help.
▶ Bend the knee and keep the back straight with feet
apart, when lifting or putting down heavy objects.
▶ DO NOT lift and twist at the same time.
▶ Lift and carry object close to the body.
