Boilers Installed In A Compartment Or; Boiler Casing; Condensate Drain; Pluming From Flue Terminal - Vaillant ecoTEC plus Instructions For Installation And Servicing

1 Introduction
1.5.14 Boilers installed in a compartment or cupboard
If the boiler is fitted into a compartment or cupboard it
does not require ventilation openings.
Do not use the compartment or cupboard for storage.

1.5.15 Boiler casing

Do not remove or adjust the casing in any way, as incor-
rect-fitting may result in incorrect operation or failure
to operate at all.

1.5.16 Condensate drain

The condensate drain must not be modified or blocked.

1.5.17 Pluming from flue terminal

All condensing boilers produce a plume of water vapour
from the flue terminal. This is due to the high efficiency
and hence low flue gas temperature. This may increase
in wet, damp weather but this is completely normal and
indicates that the boiler is operating correctly.

1.5.18 Cleaning

This appliance contains metal parts and care should be
taken when handling and cleaning with particular regard
to edges. The boiler casing can be cleaned using a mild
liquid detergent with a damp cloth, then a dry cloth to
polish. Do not use any form of abrasive or solvent clean-
er as you may damage the paint work.

1.5.19 Maintenance and servicing

For the continued efficient and safe operation of the
boiler it is recommended that it is checked and serviced
at regular intervals. The frequency of servicing will de-
pend upon the installation conditions and usage, but in
general, once a year should be enough.
If this appliance is installed in a rented property there is
a duty of care imposed on the owner of the property by
the current issue of the Gas Safety (Installation and
Use) Regulations, Section 35. Servicing/maintenance
should be carried out by a competent person approved
at the time by the Health and Safety Executive in ac-
cordance with the rules in force in the countries of des-
tination.
Please be advised that on completion of commissioning
and servicing you should complete the Benchmark gas
boiler commissioning checklist.
All competent persons approved at the time by the
Health and Safety Executive carry a ID card, and have a
registration number. Both should be recorded there.

1.5.20 Technical data

All dimensions are given in millimetres (except as
noted). The data label is positioned on the combustion
chamber cover. The Seasonal Efficiency Domestic Boil-
ers UK (SEDBUK) is: All ecoTEC plus boilers : Class 'A'.
The value is used in the UK Government's Standard As-
sessment Procedure (SAP) for energy rating of dwell-
ings. The test data from which it has been calculated
has been certified by B.S.I.
