1 The boiler must stand on a surface that is firm and
level. It does not require a special hearth as the
temperature of the boiler base is less than 50° C.
2 Sufficient clearance must be allowed at the front of the
boiler to remove the burner and baffles for servicing.
3 Once the boiler has been installed, a permanent
worktop may be fitted over it as access to the top
of the boiler is no longer required after installation.
Sealed system kit fitted - A removable section of
worktop above the boiler is required to provide
access for servicing.
Water connections - all models See Fig. 12

IMPORTANT: All pipes to be fitted into the push-fit connectors provided should be cut using a pipe
slicer or pipe cutter - to leave the pipe ends with a slight radius and free from any burrs or sharp edges.
Pipes to be used with these fittings should not be cut square using a hacksaw.
All models
To avoid the danger of dirt and foreign matter entering the boiler the complete heating system should be thoroughly
flushed out - before the boiler is connected and then again after the system has been heated and is still hot. This is
especially important where the boiler is used on an old system.
For optimum performance after installation, this boiler and its associated central heating system must be flushed in accordance with the
guidelines given in BS 7593:1992 'Treatment of water in domestic hot water central heating systems'.
This must involve the use of a proprietary cleaner, such as BetzDearborn's Sentinel X300 or X400, or Fernox Restorer.
Full instructions are supplied with the products, but for immediate information, please contact BetzDearborn on 0151
4209563 or Fernox on 0179 9550811.
For Long term protection against corrosion and scale, after flushing, it is recommended that an inhibitor such as
Betzdearborn's Sentinel X100 or Fernox MB-1 is dosed in accordance with the guidelines given in BS 7593:1992.
Failure to implement the guidelines will invalidate the warranty.
A drain cock is fitted at the bottom on the front of the boiler to allow the heating system to be drained
