Important Notes - Baxi Bioflo Assembly Instructions Manual

Use of Fireguard
When using the boiler in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are present a fireguard must be used to prevent
accidental contact with the boiler. The fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002.
The minimum clearance distances quoted in section 2.5 of the operating manual must be adhered to - NOTE: there is a minimum
distance of 50mm for moveable combustible objects such as furniture and clothing.
Chimney Cleaning
The chimney should be swept at least twice a year, one of which should be during the annual service, preferably at the beginning of the
heating season. It is important that the flue connection and chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the boiler the installer will have provided alternative means, such as a soot door.
After sweeping the chimney the boiler flue outlet and the flue pipe connecting the boiler to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue
brush.

Period of Prolonged Non-Use
If the boiler is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time ie. during the summer months, then it should be given a thorough clean
to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. Empty the hopper of unburned fuel. To enable a good flow of air through the appliance to
reduce condensation and to avoid door seals becoming stuck and subsequently damaged, leave the filling hatch and combustion
chamber doors slightly ajar. These actions will reduce the possibility of unnecessary damage and corrosion. The chimney should be
swept before relighting - see above chimney cleaning.
Extractor Fan
There must not be an extractor or ceiling/paddle fan fitted in the same room as the boiler as this can cause the boiler to emit smoke
and fumes into the room.
Aerosol Sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the boiler when it is alight.
Use of Operating Tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot.
Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur. However, in the unlikely event that a chimney fire does
occur, turn off the boiler immediately and isolate the mains electricity supply if it safe to do so. If the fire does not go out, the fire
brigade should be called immediately. Retire to a safe distance from the fire. Do not re-enter the property until it is safe to do so. Do
not relight the boiler until the chimney and flueways have been cleaned and examined by a competent person.
Permanent Air Vent
The boiler requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate safely and efficiently. The installer will have fitted
either a permanent air supply vent into the room where the appliance is fitted as detailed in the Part J of the current Building Regulations
or connected a permanent 70 diameter tube to the outside of the property. In either case these should not be shut off or sealed or
tampered with in any way.
