2.7.2 General information for installation room (boiler room)
Boiler room characteristics
▪ The floor must be even, clean and dry and have an adequate load-bearing
capacity.
▪ There must not be a potentially explosive atmosphere in the boiler room as the
boiler is not suitable for use in potentially explosive environments.
▪ The boiler room must be frost-free.
▪ The boiler does not provide any light, so the customer must ensure sufficient
lighting in the boiler room in accordance with national workplace design
regulations.
▪ When using the boiler above 2000 metres above sea level you should consult the
manufacturer.
▪ Danger of fire due to flammable materials.
The floor of the boiler room must not be flammable. No flammable materials
should be stored near the boiler. Flammable objects (e.g. clothing) must not be put
