2.10 Environmental protection
NOTICE
Danger to the environment resulting from incorrect handling of environmentally haz‐
ardous substances!
❒ Always follow the instructions below when handling hazardous substances and
their disposal.
❒ If hazardous substances are accidentally released into the environment, take ap‐
propriate measures immediately. In case of doubt, inform the competent authority
about the damage and request that proper measures be taken.
➥ Incorrect handling of environmentally hazardous substances, in particular in‐
correct disposal, can cause significant damage to the environment.
The following hazardous substances are used:
Ash
Ashes should be placed in a steel container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container
of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor on the ground, well away from
all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial
in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. For the disposal of ash from the heat ex‐
changer, consult the local chimney sweep or waste disposal service of the municipality
or province. Other waste should not be placed in this container.
Firebricks
The combustion chamber must be disposed of as construction waste.

er the operating instructions created by him correspond to the current version of
