*  Visible range for natural gas operation in the 

open air, max. connection rating and air in-
dex 1.15.

If the burners are used at geodetic altitudes of over 
500 m above MSL, the possible capacity will be 
lower as a result of the reduced density of gas and air.
Guide value: 5% per 1000 m above MSL.

 WARNING

Information pursuant to REACH Regulation No. 

1907/2006, Article 33.

Insulation contains refractory ceramic fibres (RCF)/
aluminium silicate wool (ASW).
RCF/ASW are listed in the Candidate List of the 
European REACH Regulation No. 1907/2006.

 

Information on the safe handling of products 
containing ceramic fibres can be found in the 
safety data sheets.

 

Safety data sheets are available on request.

Logistics

Transport

Protect the unit from external forces (blows, shocks, 

vibration). On receipt of the product, check that the 

delivery is complete, see page  2 (Part designa-

tions). Transport the product in dry, clean conditions. 

Report any transport damage immediately.

Storage

Store the product in a dry and clean place.

Storage temperature: see page 18 (Technical data). 

Storage time: 2 years before using for the first time. If 

stored for longer than this, the overall service life will 

be reduced by the corresponding amount of extra 

storage time.

Packaging

The packaging material is to be disposed of in ac-

cordance with local regulations.

Disposal

Components are to be disposed of separately in 

accordance with local regulations.
