Safety instructions for operating the system
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 spreading.
What to do if water escapes from the appliance
Danger
When water escapes from the appliance there is
a risk of electrocution.
Switch off the heating system at the external iso-
lator (e.g. fuse box, domestic power distribu-
tion).
Flue systems and combustion air
Ensure that flue systems are clear and cannot be
sealed, for instance due to accumulation of conden-
sate or other causes. Ensure an adequate supply of
combustion air.
Inform system users that subsequent modifications to
the building characteristics are not permissible (e.g.
cable/pipework routing, cladding or partitions).
Danger
Leaking or blocked flue systems, or an inade-
quate supply of combustion 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-
closable.
Extractors
Operating appliances that extract air to the outside
(cooker hoods, extractors, air conditioning units, etc.)
can create negative pressure. If the boiler is operated
at the same time, this can lead to reverse flow of the
flue gas.
Danger
The simultaneous operation of the boiler and
appliances that extract air to the outside can
result in life threatening poisoning due to
reverse flow of the flue gas.
Fit an interlock circuit or take suitable steps to
ensure an adequate supply of combustion air.
