These appliances are certificated by the BritishStandards Institution for safety and performance. It is, therefore,important that no external control devices, e.g. flue dampers,economisers etc., are directly connected to these appliances -unless covered by these ‘Installation and Servicing’ instructionsor otherwise recommended by Caradon Ideal Limited in writing. Ifin doubt please enquire.Any direct reconnection of a control device not approved by CaradonIdeal Limited could invalidate the BSI Certification and the normalappliance warranty. It could also infringe the Gas Safety Regulationsand the above regulations.SAFE HANDLING OF SUBSTANCESCare should be taken when handling the boiler insulation panelswhich can cause irritation to the skin. No asbestos, mercury orCFCs are included in any part of this boiler.CURRENT GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE)REGULATIONS OR RULES IN FORCE.The appliance is suitable only for installation in GB and IE andshould be installed in accordance with the rules in force.In GB, the installation must be carried out by a CORGIRegistered Installer.
