This manual describes how to install, service and use the BFM appliance. The
BFM appliance is a gas-fired sealed boiler with a fan in the air supply. The
parallel or concentric chimney connections are appliance-dependent. Possible
installation types are C13 or C33. The information in this manual applies to the:

read the manual and to follow the printed instructions may lead to personal
injury and damage to the appliance.
