Carriage of carton from point of delivery to point
of installation – roofspace.
Recommend 2-person lift. Ensure co-ordinated movements during
lift. Avoid upper body/top heavy bending - do not lean forward/side-
ways. Clear the route before attempting the lift. Take care to avoid trip
hazards, slippery or wet surfaces and when climbing steps and stairs.
When transferring appliance into roofspace, recommend 1 person to be
in roofspace to receive the appliance and other person to be below to
pass up and support appliance. Ensure safe lifting techniques are used
– keep back straight – bend using legs. Keep load as close to body as
possible. Always use assistance if required. It is assumed safe access,
flooring and adequate lighting are provided in the roof space. It is
recommended a risk assessment of the roof space area be carried out
before moving the appliance into the area to take into account access,
stability of flooring, lighting and other factors, and appropriate measures
taken.
Unpacking of appliance from carton.
Recommend 2 persons unpack appliance from carton. Always keep
working area clear. Recommend cut base end of carton and open
carton flaps, then tilt boiler forwards from its side onto its base and
remove carton by sliding up over the boiler. Ensure safe lifting tech-
niques are used – keep back straight – bend using legs. Keep load as
close to body as possible. Always use assistance if required. Dispose
of packaging in a responsible manner. Recommend wear suitable
cut resistant gloves with good grip to protect against sharp edges and
ensure good grip when handling appliance outside packaging.
Positioning of Appliance for Final Installation
– no obstructions.
This appliance is deemed to be a one person lift when removed from
the carton. Fit bracket securely onto wall before lifting appliance into
position. Obtain firm grip on front and sides of appliance, lift upwards,
ensure stable balance achieved and lift upwards to position in place
on bracket. Ensure safe lifting techniques are used – keep back
straight – bend using legs - when lifting load from floor level. Do not
twist – reposition feet instead. Keep boiler as close as possible to
body throughout lift to minimise strain on back. Ensure co-ordinated
movements to ensure equal spread of weight of load. Always use
assistance if required. Recommend wear suitable cut resistant gloves
with good grip to protect against sharp edges and ensure good grip
when handling appliance.
Positioning of Appliance for Final Installation
– above worktop, foreseeable obstructions etc.
This appliance is deemed to be a one person lift when removed from
the carton. Fit bracket securely onto wall before lifting appliance into
position. Obtain firm grip on front and sides of appliance, lift upwards,
onto worktop if practicable. Ensure stable balance achieved and lift
upwards to position in place on bracket. If 2 persons positioning onto
bracket obtain firm grip at front and sides/base of boiler. Ensure co-
ordinated movements during 2 person lifts to ensure equal spread of
weight of load. Ensure safe lifting techniques are used – keep back
straight – bend using legs - when lifting load from floor level. Do not
twist – reposition feet instead. Keep boiler as close as possible to body
throughout lift to minimise strain on back. Avoid upper body/top heavy
bending - do not lean forward/sideways. Always use assistance if re-
quired. Recommend wear suitable cut resistant gloves with good grip

position. Obtain firm grip on front and sides of appliance, lift upwards,
onto worktop if practicable. Ensure stable balance achieved and lift
upwards to drop into place onto bracket. If 2 persons positioning onto
bracket obtain firm grip at front and sides/base of boiler. Ensure co-
ordinated movements during 2 person lifts to ensure equal spread of
weight of load. If 1 person positioning onto bracket recommend obtain
firm grip supporting base of boiler. Ensure safe lifting techniques are
used – keep back straight – bend using legs - when lifting load from
floor level. Do not twist – reposition feet instead. Keep boiler as close
as possible to body throughout lift to minimise strain on back. Always
use assistance if required. Recommend wear suitable cut resistant
gloves with good grip to protect against sharp edges and ensure good
grip when handling appliance.
Positioning of Appliance for Final Installation
– in roof space restricting installation.
This appliance is deemed to be a one person lift when removed from
the carton. Obtain firm grip on front and sides of appliance, lift up-
wards, ensure stable balance achieved and lift upwards to drop into
