1 Introduction
1.1 About the water
heater This manual describes how to install, service and use the SGS water heater.
The SGS water heater is a condensing boiler with a fan in the air intake. The
water heater
is typically supplied with a storage tank fitted with a heat
exchanger connected to a solar energy source, but can also operate standalone.
The SGS 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 types: SGS 28, SGS 30, SGS 50,
SGS 60, SGS 80, SGS 100 and SGS 120.
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.

Failure to read the manual and to follow the printed instructions may lead to
personal injury and damage to the water heater.
