Danger
Flue gas can lead to life threatening poisoning.
■ Shut down the heating system.
■ Ventilate the installation site.
■ Close all doors in the living
space.
In case of fire
Danger
Fire presents a risk of burns and
explosion.
What to do if water escapes from the appliance
(cont.)
Emergency contact
If you smell gas or detect a gas leak
call the National Gas Emergency service on 0800 111 999. Notify your gas or
electricity supplier and your heating
contractor.
■ Shut off the electricity supply to the
building from a safe place (outside
the building).
■ Shut down the heating system.
■ Close the shut-off valves in
the fuel supply lines.
■ Use a tested fire extinguisher,
class ABC.

Safety instructions
For your safety
Installation room requirements
Danger
Sealed vents result in a lack of
combustion air. This leads to
incomplete combustion and the
formation of life threatening carbon monoxide.
Never cover or close existing
vents.
Do not make any subsequent
modifications to the building
characteristics that could affect
safe operation (e.g. cable/pipework routing, cladding or partitions).
Danger
Easily flammable liquids and
materials (e.g. petrol, solvents,
cleaning agents, paints or
paper) can cause deflagration
and fire.
Never store or use such materials in the boiler room or in direct
proximity to the heating system.
(cont.)
Please note
Incorrect ambient conditions can
!
lead to heating system damage
and can put safe operation at
risk.
■ Ensure ambient temperatures
are above 0 °C and below
35 °C.
■ Prevent air contamination by
halogenated hydrocarbons
(e.g. as contained in paints,
solvents or cleaning fluids)
and excessive dust (e.g.
through grinding/polishing
work).
■ Avoid continuously high
humidity levels (e.g. through
continuous drying of washing).
Extractors
The operation of 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.
5837779
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.
Take suitable steps to ensure an
adequate supply of combustion
air. If necessary, contact your
contractor.

Information
Intended use
The appliance is intended solely for
installation and operation in sealed
unvented heating systems that comply
with EN 12828, with due attention paid
to the associated installation, service
and operating instructions. It is only
designed for heating up heating water
that is of potable water quality.
Intended use presupposes that a fixed
installation in conjunction with permissible, system-specific components has
been carried out.
Commercial or industrial usage for a
purpose other than heating the building
or DHW shall be deemed inappropriate.
Any usage beyond this must be
approved by the manufacturer in each
individual case.
Incorrect usage or operation of the
appliance (e.g. the appliance being
opened by the system user) is prohibited and will result in an exclusion of liability. Incorrect usage also occurs if the
components in the heating system are
modified from their intended use (e.g. if
the flue gas and ventilation air paths
are sealed).

Control unit function modes
Introductory information
Your heating contractor set the function
mode during commissioning.
Two function modes are possible:
■ Room temperature-dependent operation: If no outside temperature sensor
and no heating circuit with mixer is
connected, function mode "ROOM-CONTROL" must be selected.
■ Weather-compensated operation: If
an outside temperature sensor and a
heating circuit with mixer are connected, function mode "OT CONTROL"
must be selected.
The settings you can make vary
depending on the function mode selected.
Note
DHW heating is active continuously or
in accordance with the set switching
times, regardless of the function mode
set.
