1 General
Thank you for choosing a Vaillant boiler. The information
given in this booklet will enable you to obtain the best
performance from your boiler.
turboMAX plus provides both central heating and
domestic hot water, with the domestic hot water
supplied directly from the boiler. The boiler will operate
automatically to provide domestic hot water whenever a
hot water tap is opened, and automatically adjusts to
meet the demand for both central heating and domestic
hot water in the most economical way.
thermoCOMPACT provides central heating and
domestic hot water where a separate indirect hot water
cylinder is also incorparated to the system. The
turboMAX/ thermoCOMPACT range of boilers have a
SEDBUK band 'D' rating.
If, after reading these instructions, you have any
questions on the operation of the boiler, please contact
either your installer or Vaillant Technical Department.

Important Note
This symbol is used to indicate important
instructions.
• This symbol is used to indicate a required step.
Liability
We can accept no liability whatsoever for
damage or injury resulting from failure to observe these instructions.
Specified use
Vaillant turboMAX plus and thermoCOMPACT boilers are
made to fulfil the latest technical specifications and official safety regulations. These appliances are designed as
boilers for use in central heating and hot water supply
systems. thermoCOMPACT boilers only supply domestic
hot water where a separate indirect hot water cylinder is
also incorparated to the system. If the appliances are
used for purposes other than or in excess of these specifications, this shall be classed as incorrect operation,
and neither the manufacturer nor supplier will accept
any liability for resulting damage or injury.
Use of this type is entirely at the owner’s risk. The term
„specified use” also covers observance of the operating
and installation instructions, along with adherence to
the servicing schedules.
EC designation
The purpose of EC designation is to certify that the
boiler complies with the requirements of the directives
covering gasfired appliances (Council directive
90/396/EEC) and electromagnetic compatibility (Council
directive 89/336/EEC). These appliances also comply
with the requirements of the directive on operating
efficiency (Council directive 92/42/EEC).
Note!
Vaillant Ltd. support the Benchmark initiative.
In the installation manual you will find the
Benchmark gas boiler commissioning checklist.
It is very important that this is completed
correctly at the time of installation and commissioning.
