encourage the correct installation, commissioning and servicing of
domestic central heating boilers and system equipment.
The 'Log-book' is a vital document that must be completed by
the installer at the time of installation. It confirms that the boiler
has been installed and commissioned according to the
manufacturers instructions.
Without the completion of the Log-book, manufacturers may refuse
to respond to a call-out from a householder, who will be advised
that he or she must call back the installer, who has not fulfilled his
obligations to record the information required by the initiative.
It is important that:
The services and the system are properly flushed as specified.
The User is clearly instructed on the correct operation of the appliance.
The benefits of regular servicing are explained - to maintain the
efficiency and extend the life of the appliance.
2.1 This appliance is not suitable for external installation.
