Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This baffle set is specifically designed for Worcester Bosch Greenstar and Greenstar Er P boiler models. Always verify your boiler's model number to ensure compatibility before purchasing.
Setup: Installation of the baffle set requires dismantling parts of the boiler casing and should only be performed by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. Incorrect installation can lead to dangerous operating conditions, reduced efficiency, or damage to the boiler.
