This allows a gain of useful heat that otherwise would be lost. Biasi UK Ltd is a licensed member of the Benchmark Scheme which aims to improve the standards of installation and commissioning of domestic heating and hot water systems in the UK and to encourage regular servicing to optimise safety, efficiency and performance.
Remember that... The manual must be read thoroughly, so that you will be able to use the boiler in a safe and sensible way; must be carefully kept. It may be necessary for reference in the future. The lighting up must be carried out by competent and responsible engineer. The manufacturer •...

On completion of the work, have a professionally qualified person check their efficiency. Repairs (under guarantee) must be carried out only by a Biasi an approved engineer, us- ing genuine spare parts. Thus do no more than switching off the boiler yourself (see the instructions).
Combustion chamber panels Material: mineral fibres Known hazards - Some people can suffer reddening and itching of the skin. Fibre entry into the eye will cause foreign body irritation, which can cause severe irritation to people wearing contact lenses. Irritation to respiratory tract. Precautions - Dust goggles will protect eyes.
