1. BOILER LOCATION

Always ensure the following clearances are available around the casing of the boiler:-
Top: 220 mm, Bottom: 250 mm, Each side: 5 mm, Front: 450 mm
Do not store any other articles in the cupboard containing the boiler and never place any clothing or combustible material on or near
the boiler or flue pipe.

2. FLUE TERMINAL

The terminal on the outside wall must not be allowed to be obstructed. If it is damaged, in any way, turn the boiler off and
contact your Service Engineer.
Note: The Alpha HE boilers are high efficiency boilers and when operating vapour will be emitted from the terminal. This is safe
and quite normal.

3. MAINS FAILURE

In the event of an electrical supply failure the boiler will not operate. When the supply is restored, the boiler will return to normal
operation. Remember to reset the clock when the supply is restored.
HE CB25/33 only - If the mains water supply fails, there will be no hot water from the taps. The boiler will continue to provide
central heating.

4. ADDITIONAL BATHROOM FITTINGS - HE CB25/33 only

Any equipment such as mixing valves, showers, bidets etc. must be designed to operate at mains water pressure. Contact your
plumbing merchant or installer for advice when considering purchasing such items.

5. CLEANING

Use only a damp cloth and mild detergent to clean the boiler outer casing. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

6. SERVICING

To maintain efficient and safe operation of your boiler, routine annual servicing is essential.

7. GAS LEAK

If a fault or gas leak is suspected, turn off the gas supply. Do not touch any electrical switches, do not smoke and extinguish all
naked flames. Contact your local Gas Region immediately.

8. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

The boiler requires a 230/240 V ~ 50 Hz supply, fused at 3 A if a 13 A 3-pin plug is used or a 5 A fuse if any other type of plug is used.
To connect a plug:-
The colour of the wires in the mains lead of the boiler may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your plug. In this case proceed as follows:-
The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug that is marked with the letter E, or by the
earth symbol , or coloured green or green and yellow.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with either the letter N or coloured black.
The brown wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
THE APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
