1.11 Location
This boiler is not suitable for outdoor installation.
This boiler may be installed in any room, although particular
attention is drawn to the requirements of the current issue of
BS7671 with respect to the installation of a boiler in a room
containing a bath or shower. Any electrical switch or boiler
control utilising mains electricity should be placed so that it
cannot be touched by a person using the bath or shower.
The electrical provisions of the Building Standards (Scotland)
Regulations apply to such installations in Scotland.
The boiler must be mounted on a flat wall which is sufficiently
robust to take its total weight.
