2. Safety information

Please read this chapter carefully before proceeding with the installation!

Improper installation or repair of the heater can cause serious accidents

including fire and potentially deadly Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions that

may result in serious injury or death. The Calaer heater is designed to

minimize the risks as much as possible. Nevertheless, there is a risk of

Carbon monoxide poisoning that may cause serious consequences to

health if the heating system is installed improperly. Therefore, it is

extremely important that you read the installation manual thoroughly

before planning installing the heater.

If you have any questions or concerns about the installation or the

operation of the heater do not hesitate to contact our customer service.
