WARNING
The space must be provided with combus-
tion/ventilation air openings correctly sized for
all other appliances located in the same space as
the Mod Con Boiler. The boiler cover must be se-
curely fastened to the boiler to prevent the boil-
er from drawing air from inside the boiler room.
This is particularly important if the boiler is lo-
cated in the same room as other appliances.
Failure to comply with the above warnings could
result in severe personal injury, death or sub-
stantial property damage.
