Clearances around the Boiler

(Figs. 17 & 18)
1. The minimum clear spaces needed around
200mm Min
the boiler measured from the casing are as
follows:
Top
Bottom
Both sides -
Front
2. These areas must not be obstructed in any
way. Blocking the clearance spaces may
result in the boiler overheating and damage
780mm
may occur.
3. The gas burning compartment of your boiler is
completely sealed from the room in which it is
fitted. Products from the combustion of gas are
vented to the outside through the flue terminal
which must be kept free from obstruction as this
would interfere with the correct operation of the
boiler.
4. The boiler may be installed in a cupboard if
200mm Min
these minimum clearances are kept. The
compartment should be large enough to house
the boiler and ancillary equipment only.
5. IT SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A STORAGE
CUPBOARD.
