with the manufacturer's recommendations
and is as stated on the appliance data plate.
Installation, commissioning, and servicing
must only be carried out by appropriately
qualified and competent persons.
Warning
Unauthorised modifications to the
appliance, or departure from the
manufacturers guidance on intended use,
or, installation contrary to the
manufacturers recommendations may
constitute a hazard.
Note
To ign
ore the warning and caution notices,
and to ignore the advice from the
manufacturer on installation, commissioning,
servicing, or use, will jeopardise any

situation could also compromise the safe and
efficient running of the appliance itself, and
thereby constitute a hazard. The installation
of the appliance must meet all the relevant
European, National, and Local Regulation
criteria.
Prior to installation the following points
should be considered;
a) The position of the heater for the efficient
distribution and circulation of warm air
b) The position of the heater relative to the
route of the flue
c) The position of the heater relative to the
supply of fuel
d) The position of the heater relative to the
electrical services, and if appropriate, any
additional controls.
e) The position of the heater relative to the
supply of fresh air
f) The position of the heater relative to
service and maintenance requirements
Caution
The heater
must not be installed within an
area where the conditions are unsuitable, e.g.
where the atmosphere is highly corrosive, has
a high degree of salinity, or where high wind
velocities may affect burner operation.
Suitable protection should be provided for the
appliance when it is located in a position
where it may be susceptible to external
mechanical damage from; for example, fork
lift trucks, overhead cranes etc.
