Installation Location

  • If it is impossible to avoid positioning the appliance next to a gas cooker or coal burning stove, an insulation (850 X 600 mm) covered with aluminum foil on the side facing the cooker or stove must be inserted between the two appliances.

  • Ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for an engineer in the event of a breakdown.

  • When installing the appliance, adjust all four feet using the transit bolt spanner provided to ensure the appliance is stable.
