B

Recommendation for users: 

sign a maintenance and 

servicing contract with an approved heating 
contractor covering annual servicing and 
maintenance.

The flue system must be inspected once a year. Have 
all parts that show any signs of damage from 
corrosion or other causes replaced.

B

The boiler must be serviced by qualified boiler service 
company once a year. Servicing must include the 
burner, the entire flue and combustion air system and 
any air inlet/outlet vents. All parts that show any signs 
of damage from corrosion or other causes must be 
replaced.

B

Servicing and repairs may only be carried out by a 
trained heating contractor.

B

Have any faults immediately corrected in order to 
prevent damage to the system.

B

The operator is responsible for the general and 
environmental safety of the heating system.

Danger by failing to consider your own safety in an 
emergency such as a fire

B

Never put yourself at risk. Your own safety must 
always take the highest priority.

Dangers posed by explosive and flammable materials

B

Any work on components that carry oil or gas may only 
be carried out by a certified heating contractor.

B

Do not use or store flammable materials or liquids 
(paper, thinners, paints, etc.) near the boiler.

B

Maintain a clearance of at least 16 inches (40 cm) 
from the boiler.

Risk of poisoning. Insufficient ventilation may cause 
dangerous flue gas leaks.

B

Never close off or reduce the size of air inlet or outlet 
vents.

B

The boiler must not be operated until the obstruction 
has been removed.

under water.

B

Call in a qualified customer service technician 
immediately to check the appliance and replace any 
controls that have been under water.

Combustion air

B

Keep the combustion air free of corrosive substances 
(e. g. halogenated hydrocarbons that contain chlorine 
or fluorine compounds). In that way you will prevent 
corrosion.

Instructing the operator

B

The operator must read the information on how the 
boiler works and have the heating system installer 
explain how to operate it.
