TO SHUT DOWN THE BOILER CLEARANCES AROUND THE BOILER
1. Turn off the electricity supply to
the appliance at the mains.
2. To turn off the pilot: Turn gas control
knob to off position marked 0.
NOTE: The gas control knob cannot
be depressed until ignition restart
interlock device in gas valve has
disengaged. This takes 60 seconds
approximately.
The minimum clear spaces needed
around the boiler are:
Top:
(Free Standing) 13mm (½ in)
(Under Work
Top Panel Fitted) 25mm (1 in)
Sides:
(Only when under
Work Top Panel) 10mm (3/8 in)
Front:
(In Use) 5mm (3/16 in)
(For Servicing) 400mm (15¾ in)
These clearances must not be
obstructed in any way. Blocking the
clearance spaces will result in the
appliance overheating and damage
may possibly occur.
The gas burning compartment of
your boiler Is completely sealed
from the room In which it is fitted.
Products from the combustion of
gas are vented to the outside
through the flue terminal which must
be kept free from obstruction as this
would interfere with the correct
operation of the boiler.
If the boiler is fitted in a
compartment, this should be fitted
with ventilation openings at high and
low level which must not be blocked.
Occasional checks should be made
to ensure they are clear. The
compartment should be large
enough to house the boiler and
ancillary equipment only.
IT SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A
STORAGE CUPBOARD.
3. Turn off the gas supply at either the
appliance gas cock or the meter.
If your home is to be left unoccupied for
long periods during cold weather, the
whole system should be drained,
unless a frost-stat is fitted. Your
installer will advise you about draining
the system.
