If you smell gas

Turn off the gas cock (page 11).

Open windows and doors.

Do not operate any electrical switches.

Extinguish all open flames.

From outside the building, call gas utility company and a trained and certified heating contractor.

If you smell flue gas

Switch OFF the appliance (page 12).

Open windows and doors.

Inform a trained and certified heating contractor.

For appliances operating on room air: Danger of flue gas poisoning if supply of combustion air is insufficient

Safeguard the supply of the combustion air.

Do not cover or reduce the size of ventilation openings in doors, windows and walls.

Ensure that a sufficient supply of combustion air is also available for appliances installed at a later date, e.g. kitchen exhaust fans, clothes dryers, and air conditioning units with a vent to the outside.

Never operate the appliance if the supply of combustion air is insufficient.

Danger of explosion of flammable gases.

Only employ a trained and certified contractor to carry out work on the gas train.

Risk of scalding

If running at DHW temperatures above 104 °F (40 °C) ask a trained and certified heating contractor to install a tempering valve to prevent scalding.

When the thermal disinfection function is enabled, DHW temperatures above 140 °F (60 °C) can occur.

Risk of damage due to operator error

Operator errors can result in personal injury and damage to property.

Ensure that children never play with or operate this appliance unsupervised.

Ensure that only people who know how to operate this appliance correctly have access to it.

Installation, conversion

Only have the appliance installed or modified by a trained and certified heating contractor.

Never modify any parts that carry flue gas.

Never block the outlet of safety valves. Water may be expelled from any safety valve during heat-up.

Inspection and maintenance

The operator is responsible for safety and environmental compliance of the heating system.

Sign a maintenance and inspection contract with a trained and certified contractor, covering an annual inspection and demand-dependent maintenance. This guarantees high efficiency and environmentally sound combustion.

Explosive and easily combustible materials

Never use or store easily combustible materials (paper, thinners, paints, etc.) near the appliance.

Combustion air / room air

To prevent corrosion, keep the supply of combustion air / room air, free from corrosive substances (e.g. halogenated hydrocarbons that contain chlorine or fluorine compounds).

Overheating of the appliance

Should overheating occur or the gas supply fails to shut off, do not turn off or disconnect the electrical supply to the pump. Instead, shut off the gas supply at a location outside of the appliance.

In case of water damage

Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. Immediately call a trained and certified service technician to inspect the boiler and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
