byaqualifiedelectrician.Theremaybearequirementtoupgradethemainincomingfusesupplyingthe
property;thiswilldependontheboileroutputbeinginstalledandexistingelectricalloadrequirementsof
theproperty.
2. Boiler location
 Theboilermustbeinstalledontoawallthatwillprovideanadequatefixing.Precautionsmustbetakenif

PREPERATION
LOCATION
Theboilercanbeinstalledinalmostanylocationwithinadomesticorcommercialproperty;howevercon-
siderationshouldbemadeforfuturemaintenance.Neverleavetheboilerswitchedoffifthereisadangerof
havingtemperaturesbelow0°Cintheroomwhereitislocated,(Anadditionalfroststatmustbeusedifthere
isalikelihoodofthetemperaturefallingbelow0°C).

Werecommendthataminimumclearanceof400mmshouldbeallocatedfortheremovalofthefrontcover
toallowadequateaccesstotheboilersplumbingandtheinternalelectricalconnections.A50mmallowance
shouldbemadeateithersideoftheboilertoallowfreeowairintotheboiler.
