1 Introduction
1.1 About the water
heater This manual describes how to install, service and use the SGE water heater.
The SGE water heater is a condensing boiler with a fan in the air intake. The
water is heated partly by means of an external heat exchanger that can be
connected to e.g. a solar energy source.
The SGE can be installed as either an open or room-sealed water heater. A
concentric chimney connector is fitted standard to the water heater, but a
parallel system can also be connected.
The possible installation types are B23, C13, C33, C43, C53 and C63.
The information in this manual applies to the: SGE 40 and SGE 60.
The water heater has been manufactured and equipped in accordance with the
European standard for gas-fired storage water heaters for the production of
domestic hot water (EN 89). The water heaters are therefore compliant with the
European Directive for Gas water heaters, and and are entitled to bear the CE
mark.

the manual and to follow the printed instructions may lead to personal injury and
