accordance with the severity of the possible
danger using the following warning signs and
signal words:

Warning symbols and signal words

Danger!

Imminent danger to life or risk of
severe personal injury

Danger!

Risk of death from electric shock

Warning.

Risk of minor personal injury

Caution.

Risk of material or environmental
damage

1.2 Intended use

There is a risk of injury or death to the user or
others, or of damage to the product and other
property in the event of improper use or use
for which it is not intended.

The product is intended as a heat generator
for closed heating installations and for hot
water generation.

Applicability: B1 unit types

Dieser Heizkessel mit Naturzug ist für den
Anschluss ausschließlich in bestehenden Ge­bäuden an eine von mehreren Wohnungen
belegte Abgasanlage bestimmt, die die Ver­brennungsrückstände aus dem Aufstellraum
ins Freie ableitet. Er bezieht die Verbren­nungsluft unmittelbar aus dem Aufstellraum
und ist mit einer Strömungssicherung ausge­stattet. Wegen geringerer Effizienz ist jeder
andere Einsatz dieses Heizkessel zu vermei­den — er würde zu einem höheren Energie­verbrauch und höheren Betriebskosten füh­ren.

Intended use includes the following:

– observance of the operating instructions

included for the product and any other
system components

– compliance with all inspection and main-

tenance conditions listed in the instruc­tions.

This product can be used by children aged
from 8 years and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabil­ities or lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision or instruc­tion concerning use of the product in a safe
way and understand the hazards involved.
Children must not play with the product.
Cleaning and user maintenance work must
not be carried out by children unless they are
supervised.

Any other use that is not specified in these in­structions, or use beyond that specified in this
document shall be considered improper use.
Any direct use in industrial or commercial
processes is also deemed to be improper.

Caution.

Improper use of any kind is prohibited.

1.3 Danger caused by improper
operation

Improper operation may present a danger to
you and others, and cause material damage.

▶ Carefully read the enclosed instructions

and all other applicable documents, par­ticularly the "Safety" section and the warn­ings.

▶ Only carry out the activities for which in-

structions are provided in these operating
instructions.

1.4 Risk of death from escaping gas

What to do if you smell gas in the building:

▶ Avoid rooms that smell of gas.
▶ If possible, open doors and windows fully

and ensure adequate ventilation.

▶ Do not use naked flames (e.g. lighters,

matches).

▶ Do not smoke.
▶ Do not use any electrical switches, mains

plugs, doorbells, telephones or other com­munication systems in the building.

yelling or banging on doors or walls.

▶ Leave the building immediately and ensure

that others do not enter the building.

▶ Alert the police and fire brigade as soon as

you are outside the building.

▶ Use a telephone outside the building to

inform the emergency service department
of the gas supply company.

1.5 Risk of death due to blocked or
leaking flue pipework

What to do if you smell flue gas in the prop­erty:

▶ Open all accessible doors and windows

fully to provide ventilation.

▶ Switch off the product.
▶ Inform a competent person.

1.6 Risk of death due to explosive and
flammable materials

▶ Do not use the product in storage rooms

that contain explosive or flammable sub­stances (such as petrol, paper or paint).

1.7 Risk of death due to changes to the
product or the product environment

▶ Never remove, bridge or block the safety

devices.

▶ Do not tamper with any of the safety

devices.

▶ Do not damage or remove any tamper-

proof seals on components.

▶ Do not make any changes:

– The product itself
– to the gas, supply air, water and electri-

city supply lines

– to the entire flue system
– to the expansion relief valve
– to the drain pipework
– to constructional conditions that may

affect the operational reliability of the
product

1.8 Risk of poisoning caused by
insufficient combustion air supply

Conditions: Open-flued operation

▶ Ensure that there is a sufficient combus-

tion air supply.

1.9 Risk of being scalded by hot drinking
water

There is a risk of scalding at the hot water
draw-off points if the hot water temperatures
are greater than 60 °C. Young children and
elderly persons are particularly at risk, even
at lower temperatures.

▶ Select the temperature so that nobody is at

risk.

1.10 Risk of injury and material damage
due to maintenance and repairs
carried out incorrectly or not carried
out at all

▶ Never attempt to carry out maintenance

work or repairs on your product yourself.

▶ Faults and damage should be immediately

rectified by a competent person.

▶ Adhere to the maintenance intervals spe-

cified.

1.11 Risk of corrosion damage due to
unsuitable combustion and room air

Sprays, solvents, chlorinated cleaning
agents, paint, adhesives, ammonia com­pounds, dust or similar substances may lead
to corrosion on the product and in the air/flue
pipe.

▶ Ensure that the combustion air supply is

always free of fluorine, chlorine, sulphur,
dust, etc.

▶ Ensure that no chemical substances are

stored at the installation site.

1.12 Risk of material damage caused by
calcification

If the water hardness is greater than 3.57
mol/m³, there is a risk of calcification in
products which generate hot water.

▶ Set the hot water temperature to a max-

imum of 50 °C.

1.13 Risk of material damage caused by
frost

▶ Ensure that the heating installation always

remains in operation during freezing con­ditions and that all rooms are sufficiently
heated.

▶ If you cannot ensure the operation, have a

competent person drain the heating install­ation.
