Notes on installation and operation
Fill and make-up water for the heating system
Unsuitable fill and make-up water can result in the heating
system scaling up or failing prematurely.
Recirculation pump/DHW recirculation lines
Electrical connection of the DHW recirculation pump
(
Æ
page 55).
Connect the DHW recirculation line with the cold water
inlet as close as possible to the Hydraulics connection
plate.
Open vented heating systems
B
Convert open vented heating systems into closed
systems.
DANGER:
Explosion!
B
Close the gas cock prior to working on the
gas train.
B
Check for gas leaks after carrying out work
