It is strongly recommended to complete a risk
assessment before installing the product. The following
areas require particular consideration in addition to the in-
formation required by the Health and Safety at Work Act.

independent third party testing. The correct
application hereafter is the responsibility of the
competent installer.
- Water borne organisms (i.e. Legionella): if applicable
a risk assessment should be carried out following the
recommendations outlined in the Approved Code of
Practice L8.
- The user preference must be considered when
commissioning the system.
5.6 Siting Considerations
When choosing the place where the appliance is to be
installed the following points should be taken into
consideration:
- Structural integrity.
- Access for installation, operation, maintenance and
replacement.
- Routing of discharge pipework.
- Access to water mains supply, hot and cold water
distribution pipework.
- Access to suitable electricity supply.
Particular care must be taken when placing the water
heater in a garage or outbuilding. All exposed pipework
must be correctly insulated to avoid frost damage.
The position and orientation of the water heater should
be such that easy access is provided for servicing the
controls. A minimum distance of 400mm in front of the
immersion is recommended, to allow the replacement
of the immersion heater should the need arise. When
installing the water heater all labels should be clearly
visible and ensure that no pipework hinders any work to
be carried out on the various components.
