PREPARATION

MOUNTING THE BOILER

Mount the boiler onto a flat wall surface that will be capable of
taking the boilers full weight. Use the mounting template provid-
ed with the boiler, mark and drill the fixing holes taking into con-
sideration you leave the minimum clearances required around
the fusion boilers.
We recommend that a minimum clearance of 450 mm should be
allocated for the removal of the front cover and adequate access
to the boiler plumbing and the internal electrical connections. A
50 mm allowance should be made at either side of the boiler to
allow free flow air into the boiler case and allow access to screws
on the boiler case (150 mm for Slimline model).
THE BOILER MUST BE INSTALLED IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION,
FAILURE TO DO SO WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.
