General information
6.1
Ventilation information
Boiler location
** The boiler can be installed under a worktop as long as:
▶ The worktop above the boiler is easily removable for
maintenance.
▶ There is at least 10mm clearance above the boiler.
▶ The front of the boiler is not enclosed.
Ventilation
Air vents must be functional at all times and the air supply must
not be restricted or contaminated.
The boiler clearances must meet the minimum shown below for
servicing and venting purposes.
* If this clearance is less than 75mm the flue 'knock-out' panel
sections must be removed to improve air circulation and
cooling.
Do not place clothes or objects to hinder the air circulation
required by the boiler.
6.2
Maintenance clearances
Conventional flue boilers require an adequate supply of fresh
air which must be delivered to the boiler for combustion
purposes through a permanent inlet, such as an air brick, into
the area where the boiler is situated.
If a cupboard or compartment which is to be used for storage or
airing is built around the boiler after installation there must be
a non-combustible partition around the boiler. Refer to the
installation manual for minimum vent sizes.

General notes
To get the best from your boiler, read these instructions
carefully.
Central heating system
During the first few hours of operation of the central heating
system, check that all radiators are being heated at an even
rate. If the top of a radiator is at a lower temperature than the
bottom then it should be vented by releasing air through the
venting screw at the top of the radiator. Ask your installer to
show you how this is done. Repeated venting will reduce the
quantity of water in the system and this must be replenished for
safe and satisfactory operation of the boiler.
When excessive venting or water leaks are found in the system
you must contact a service engineer to inspect the installation
and rectify any fault.
Only use additives compatible with the boiler and system. Use
of incompatible additives can cause damage and will invalidate
the boiler guarantee.
Condensate drain
This is a condensing boiler and the terminal will, at times give
out a plume of water vapour. This is quite normal.
The boiler also produces quantities of condensate which is
discharged regularly via a pipe to drain.
This pipe must not be blocked or altered in any way.
Clearances, see section 6.2
Your installer will have provided adequate space around the
boiler for safety and servicing access.
Do not restrict this space with the addition of cupboards,
shelves etc. next to the boiler.
Room thermostat
A room temperature controller must be fitted to control the
central heating. Refer to instructions supplied with the
thermostat for information on siting and setting.
Thermostatic radiator valves
It is recommended that this type of valve is fitted to all but one
of the radiators (or at least those in the sleeping
accommodation). The remaining radiator, which must be
where the room thermostat is located, should be un-controlled
and must be left open.
