(The ideal measured value on thepressure gauge is 0.5 bar plus an extra amount corre-sponding to the highest point of the system above theboiler. A height of 10 m corresponds to a pressure in-crease on the pressure gauge of around1 bar. The pressure must not be less than 1 bar on anyinstallation.)If the system is to be protected by an inhibitor, itshould be added at this stage in accordance with themanufacturer's instructions.Further information can be obtained from Sentinel,Betz Dearborn Ltd., Tel.: 0151 420 9595, or from Fern-ox, Alpha–Fry technologies, Tel.: 0870 8700362.• Re-mount the enclosure of the boiler.• Attach the bottom cover to the boiler by sliding thefront edge of the cover into the lip at the bottom frontedge of the appliance chassis.• Carefully push the rear of the bottom cover upwardsuntil the spring retaining clips engage at the side ofthe appliance.
