1 GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
b
Check that the product is complete, undamaged and
as ordered as soon as you receive it. Report any dis-
crepancies or damage to the
B
dealer who sold it.
b
This product must be installed by a legally qualified
heating engineer. On completion of the installation,
the installer must issue the owner with a declaration
of conformity confirming that the installation has been
completed to the highest standards in compliance with
the instructions provided by
B
in this instruction
manual, and that it conforms to all applicable laws and
standards.
b
This product must only be used for the purpose for
which it is designed and made, as specified by
B
.
B
declines all responsibility, contractual or other,
for damage to property or injury to persons or animals
caused by improper installation, adjustment, mainte-
nance or use.
b
The product must be serviced at least once a year.
Servicing must be arranged in advance with the
B
Technical Assistance Centre.
b
All servicing and repairs must be performed by a quali-
fied heating engineer.
b
If water leaks from the storage cylinder, turn off the wa-
ter supply and contact
B
’s Technical Assistance
Centre or a qualified heating engineer immediately.
b
If the product is not going to be used for an extended
period of time, contact the manufacturer’s Technical
Assistance Centre to have at least the following oper-
ations performed:
- Close the shut-off cocks for the domestic hot water
circuit
- Shut down the boiler connected to the storage cylin-
der as instructed in its own manual
- Switch the storage cylinder OFF at the control panel (if
fitted) and at the mains power switch
- Drain the central heating circuit and domestic hot wa-
ter circuit if there is any risk of freezing.
b
This instruction manual is an integral part of the prod-
uct. It must be kept safe and must ALWAYS accom-
pany the product, even if it is sold to another owner or
transferred to another user or to another installation. If
you lose this manual, order a replacement immediately.
Keep the product purchase documents to be present-
ed to the
B
authorised Technical Assistance Centre
to request a service call under warranty.
b
Size the solar expansion tank so as to ensure complete
absorption of the expansion of the fluid contained within
the system, with reference to the prevailing regulations
on the matter. In particular, consider fluid character-
istics, considerable fluctuation of service temperature
and vapour that might be generated during solar col-
lector stagnation stage. Proper size of expansion tank
ensures setting off of all volume changes of the heat
transfer fluid, avoiding excessive pressure increase.
Limited pressure changes avoid reaching safety valve
opening pressure and the consequent fluid drainage.
2 PRECAUTIONS
The operation of any appliance that uses electrical power
demands that a number of fundamental safety precautions
be respected. In particular:
a
Never attempt to install the system without using suit-
able personal protection equipment and without fol-
lowing all applicable occupational safety standards.
a
Do not touch the product when barefoot or wet if it
has any electrical accessories installed in it.
a
Never clean or service the storage cylinder without
first turning the mains power switch OFF to discon-
nect all electrical accessories (if fitted) from the mains
electricity supply.
a
Never pull, disconnect, or twist any electrical cables
coming from the appliance even if it is disconnected
from the mains electricity supply.
a
Do not expose the storage cylinder to the elements. It
is not designed for use outdoors.
a
If solar plant pressure decreases, it is forbidden to
top up with only water as there is a danger of freezing
and overheating.
a
Do not use connections or safety devices or fittings
(expansion vessels, pipes, insulation) that are not
specifically designed and tested for use in solar wa-
ter heating systems.
a
Do not allow children or infirm persons to operate the
system unsupervised.
a
Do not dispose of packaging material into the envi-
ronment, or leave it within the reach of children, since
it can become a potential hazard. Dispose of packag-
ing material in compliance with applicable legislation.
