Go to the manufacturer's web site. The information should be in the owner's manual.

How wide is it is the first response I can think of!
I have my boiler which is 35 cm W x 28 cm D and around it I have fitted a framework and a 60cm false door panel!
This leaves plenty of room all round and 20mm to the front to prevent heat transfer to the door. I'm no expert but our gas service engineer assures me that I have left plenty of room for circulation!

You cannot box a boiler in with any material. You must use fireproof materials. This is the law, and you could invalidate your house insurance if you did not follow the rules. When it is boxed in, you must fit an air vent on the front panel. This is fir the burner to get a suply of air.
