DANGER: Risk to life through falling!
>
Whilst working on the roof, take all necessa-
ry precautions against a possible fall.

If there are no general anti-fall safety

At a roof inclination of 15° and steeper, the collector is
generally selfcleaning.
>
In the case of more stubborn contamination, clean the
collector with water. Do not use a high-pressure cleaner!
>
Make sure that the drain holes in the collector profile
are open and that water can drain out.
