WARNING!! This appliance must be installed
in a room with sufficient ventilation, to avoid
dangerous conditions arising in the event of,
even minor, gas leaks. These safety standards
are imposed by the EEC Directive no. 09/396
for all gas appliances, including the so-called

2.2 Positioning and wall
mounting
The installation of the ARENA must be on a
suitable non-combustible load bearing wall
which will provide an adequate fixing for the
boiler mounting bracket assembly. The loca-
tion should be in an area where the water
pipes will not be subjected to frost conditions.
In siting the combination boiler the following
limitations must be observed:
The combination boiler may be installed in any
room or internal space, although particular attention is drawn to the requirements of the current I.E.E. wiring
regulations and in Scotland the electrical provisions of the building regulations applicable in Scotland, with
respect to the installation of the combination boiler in a room or internal space containing a bath or shower.
Where a room sealed appliance is installed in a room containing a bath or shower any electrical switch or
appliance control utilising mains electricity must be situated so that it cannot be touched by a person using
the bath or shower.
The boiler is supplied ready for wall-hung installation. The rear frame of the appliance has a series of slots
