Spacers and Rebated Surrounds
When fitting a BBU HE unit with a DimensionTM fire engine, both the unit and the back of the fire need to be contained within the chimney space. For installations where this space is not sufficient there are two options available:
1. Using a rebated surround: This is the simplest and most discrete solution. Rebated surrounds have a smaller inside return on
both the legs and top panel. This allows the back panel to sit further forward, away from the wall, creating a larger space for the BBU HE and DimensionTM fire engine.
2. Using spacer kits: If a rebated surround is not an option, either because the customer wishes to keep their existing surround,
or has selected a surround that is not available with a rebate, an additional spacer kit can be used. In these instances, the back
panel is fitted as normal, and the DimensionTM fire engine which is visible beyond the back panel is covered with an additional
spacer kit. The BBU HE spacer kits are 50mm deep, and can be joined together to achieve the required depth.

Controls
A remote control is supplied with the Regalia, Innova, Classica and Dream fires. The Lyrica and Nano models have built in manual controls. Both the remote control and the manual control allow settings for 'On/Off', ‘Effect Only', ‘Low 1kW heating' and ‘High 2kW heating'.
To ensure all heating and hot water demands are satisfied and the new BBU installation runs smoothly, it is important that you assess the minimum site requirements. To help you with the assessment, please refer to the site survey on page 18. It will help you determine whether a replacement BBU is the most appropriate application and which components you need. If the BBU HE does not meet your requirements, BDR Thermea has the solution for you.
BDR Thermea
BDR Thermea is one of Europe's biggest manufacturers and distributors of domestic and commercial water and space heating systems. The group includes some of the best known and most respected brands in the heating industry: Baxi, Potterton, Main, Elson, Heatrae Sadia, Andrews Water Heaters, Santon and Potterton Commercial.
Baxi Boilers
If the property doesn't meet the minimum site requirements for the installation of a Baxi Bermuda BBU HE, you can still take advantage of our range of high efficiency boilers to update your system. They are all built to the same high standard and incorporate the cutting edge THINK combustion management system.
The system includes Gas Adaptive Control, an innovation that continuously monitors and optimises combustion by adjusting the gas and air mix. This allows our new Baxi boilers to self-commission, deliver lifetime maximum combustion efficiency and lower fuel bills. It also significantly lowers carbon emissions and reduces wear and tear on components, making servicing quicker and easier.

ADVANCED TOPICS IN DIAGNOSTIC HINTS AND TREATMENT GUIDELINES FOR LYME AND OTHER TICK BORNE JOSEPH J. BURRASCANO JR., M.D. Fifteenth Edition Copyright, July, 2005 Welcome to the fifteenth edition of the "Guidelines". Since the last edition, enough new information has become available to justify this revision. New insights regarding co-infections, test refinements, and new treatment regimens are included. I once again extend my best wishes to the many patients and caregivers who deal with Lyme, and a sincere thank you to my colleagues whose endless contributions have helped me shape my approach to tick borne illnesses. I hope that my new edition proves to be useful. Happy reading! BACKGROUND INFORMATION In general, you can think of Lyme as having three categories: acute, early disseminated, and chronic. The sooner treatment is begun after the start of the infection, the higher the success rate. However, since it is easiest to cure early disease, this category of Lyme must be taken seriously. Undertreated infections will inevitably resurface, usually as chronic Lyme, with its tremendous problems of morbidity and difficulty with diagnosis and treatment. So, while the bulk of this document focuses of the more problematic chronic patient, strong emphasis is also placed on earlier stages of this illness. A very important issue is the definition of "Chronic Lyme Disease". Based on my clinical data and the latest published information, I offer the following definition. To be said to have chronic Lyme, these three criteria must be present: 1. Illness present for at least one year 2. Have persistent major neurologic involvement (such as encephalitis/encephalopathy, meningitis, etc.)
Diseases and ConditionsUlcerative colitis By Mayo Clinic Staff Ulcerative colitis (UL-sur-uh-tiv koe-LIE-tis) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) thatcauses long-lasting inflammation and ulcers (sores) in your digestive tract. Ulcerativecolitis affects the innermost lining of your large intestine (colon) and rectum. Symptomsusually develop over time, rather than suddenly.
