Safety instructions for operating the system
If you smell gas
Danger
Escaping gas can lead to explo-
sions which may result in serious
injury.
■
Do not smoke. Prevent naked
flames and sparks. Never switch
lights or electrical appliances on
or off.
■
Close the gas shut-off valve.
■
Open windows and doors.
■
Evacuate any people from the
danger zone.
■
Notify your gas or electricity sup-
ply utility from outside the building.
■
Have the power supply to the
building shut off from a safe place
(outside the building).
If you smell flue gas
Danger
Flue gas can lead to life threatening
poisoning.
■
Shut down the heating system.
■
Ventilate the installation site.
■
Close doors to living spaces to
prevent flue gases from spread-
ing.
What to do if water escapes from the
appliance
Danger
If water escapes from the appliance
there is a risk of electrocution.
Switch OFF the heating system at
the external isolator (e.g. fuse box,
domestic distribution board).
Danger
If water escapes from the appliance
there is a risk of scalding.
Never touch hot heating water.
Condensate
Danger
Contact with condensate can be
harmful to health.
Never let condensate touch your
skin or eyes and do not swallow it.
Flue systems and combustion air
Ensure that flue systems are clear and
cannot be sealed, for instance due to
accumulation of condensate or other
external causes.
Ensure an adequate supply of combus-
tion air.
Inform system users that subsequent
modifications to the building characteris-
tics are not permissible (e.g. cable/pipe-
work routing, cladding or partitions).
Danger
Leaking or blocked flue systems, or
an inadequate supply of combus-
tion air can cause life threatening
poisoning from carbon monoxide in
the flue gas.
Ensure the flue system is in good
working order. Vents for supplying
combustion air must be non-seala-
ble.
Extractors
Operating appliances that exhaust air to
the outside (extractor hoods, extractors,
air conditioning units, etc.) can create
negative pressure. If the boiler is oper-
ated at the same time, this can lead to a
reverse flow of flue gas.
