Requirements for the installation site

4.4.1 Required minimum clearances/installation
clearances
> When using accessories, observe the minimum clear-
ances/installation clearances (¬ fig. 4.3).
C
4.3 Recommended minimum clearances/installation clearances
Key
A 165 mm (air/flue gas duct Æ 60/100 mm)
246 mm (air/flue gas duct Æ 80/125 mm)
B 180 mm
C 5 mm; optimum approx. 50 mm
500 mm in front of the boiler to enable easy access for
servicing (may be provided by an opening door).
Clearance at the side is not required, but the side sections
can also be removed if there is adequate side clearance (at
least approx. 50 mm) in order to facilitate maintenance or
repair work (¬ section. 4.8).
It is not necessary to ensure sufficient clearance between
the boiler and combustible materials or components as the
temperature of the boiler will always be less than the maxi-
mum permissible temperature of 85 °C due to its nominal
heat output.

4.4.2 Using installation templates

An installation template is supplied with the boiler to aid
wall mounting.
The template shows the following:
