Got a council place and had a new combi boiler installed in a small box room. The boiler is situated to the right which is on the outside wall. However, this makes it difficult for me to access the dials on the boiler. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

I'l check when i get back home. I cant see clearly the layout of the buttons and a bit fiddly to operate that's all. doesnt stop me from using the boiler but if it had been installed on the wall opposite the door it would be easier to use.

Thanks

As Dave said a pic showing the room with a measurement in the front of the boiler.

There's definately not 600mm clearance. Is that a legal minimum Razor? I don't think there's 300mm but I'l check when home.

Thankyou

Depends on the make/model but 600mm at the front for servicing is what the MI normally requires.

I always thought it was 300mm minimum for servicing, but as said depends on MI's.
