A water temperature higher than 51°C can also cause
permanent damage to people, animals and objects. Above
all, children, the older people and people with disabilities
must be protected against potential risks of scalds, by
inserting devices that limit the temperature of the DHW.
It is forbidden to leave any parts of the packaging or any
replaced parts within the reach of children.
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operations,
disconnect the appliance from the power supply, water and
gas supply, using the appropriate devices.
After having performed any cleaning or maintenance
operations, make sure that all internal parts of the appliance
are dry before reconnecting the electric power supply.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory and mental

consultation. If the appliance needs to be transferred or if
you should move and leave the unit to another user, always
ensure that this manual remains with the new user and/or
installer.
Any options or kits added later must be original Cosmogas
products.
This appliance must be intended only for the use for which it
has been expressly declared: central heating/cooling water
for closed circuits intended for central heating/cooling of
rooms for civil and domestic use, production of domestic
hot water for civil use.
Any contractual and non-contractual liability on the part
of the manufacturer is excluded for damage caused by
installation errors or usage errors and, in all cases, following
a failure to comply with the instructions given by the
manufacturer or with applicable national and/or local laws.

R410A refrigerant
This appliance contains fluorinated greenhouse gases
covered by the Kyoto Protocol: the installation must
be carried out by an installer / company authorized in
accordance with the European regulation EU 517/2014.
Vapors are heavier than air and can cause asphyxiation by
reducing the amount of oxygen.
Liquefied gas: contact with liquid can cause frostbite and
serious eye damage.
Product classification: this product is not classified as
a “dangerous preparation” according to the European
Community regulations.
If the R410A refrigerant is mixed with air, it can cause
pressure peaks in the refrigeration pipes and generate an
explosion or other hazards.
Refrigerant and piping:
Use only R410A refrigerant liquid to fill the system.
Use tools and piping components specially designed for
use with R410A refrigerant liquid.
Use phosphorus deoxidized copper pipes for transporting
the refrigerant.
Store the refrigerant connection pipes away from dust and
humidity (risk of damage to the compressor).
Do not use charging cylinders.
Protect the components of the heat pump, including
insulation and structural elements. Do not overheat the
pipes: the brazed elements can cause damage.
Contact of the refrigerant fluid with a flame can cause
emanations of toxic gases.
Refrigerant leaks:
1. Shut off the appliance.
2. Open windows.
3. Do not use open flames.
4. Avoid any contact with the refrigerant.
5. Identify the probable leak and correct the problem
immediately.
In case of failure
In the event of a fault and / or malfunction of the appliance,
deactivate it, refraining from any attempt to repair. Contact a
professionally qualified technician only. If components need
to be replaced for repairs, they must be original spare parts
only. Failure to comply with this may compromise the safety
of the appliance.
Qualified installer
A ‘qualified installer’ means a person with specific technical
skill in sector of central heating system components and
production of domestic hot water for sanitary and civil uses,
electric installations, and systems for the use of combustible
gas. Such people must have the skills envisaged by the law.
Technical drawings
All the drawings shown in this manual relating to electrical,
hydraulic or gas installation systems must be understood to
be purely illustrative. All the safety devices, auxiliary devices
and the diameters of the electrical, hydraulic and gas pipes
must always be checked by a qualified installer, to make sure
they satisfy the applicable laws and regulations.
1.1 - National installation laws
Respect the national regulations, provisions, directives and
laws in force.
