The operation of any appliance that uses fuel, electrical power and water demands that a number of fundamental safety
precautions be respected:
a
Do not allow children or infirm persons to operate the boi-
ler unsupervised.
a
Do not operate any electrical devices or equipment,
including switches or domestic appliances, etc., if you
can smell fuel or fumes. If you detect any suspicious
smells:
- Ventilate the room by opening all doors and win-
dows;
- Close the fuel shut-off cock;
- Report the fault immediately to your local
r
Technical Assistance Service or a professionally
qualified heating engineer.
a
Do not touch the boiler when barefoot or wet.
a
Never clean or service the boiler without first disconnec-
ting it from the mains electricity supply by turning the main
power switch and the control panel switch OFF.
a
Do not tamper with or adjust the safety or control devices
without prior authorisation and instructions from the boi-
ler’s manufacturer.
a
Do not plug or block the condensate drain outlet.
a
Never pull, disconnect, or twist the electrical cables
coming from the boiler even if it is disconnected from the
mains electricity supply.
a
Do no obstruct or restrict the vents in the room where the
appliance is installed. Adequate ventilation is essential for
correct combustion.
a
Do not expose the boiler to the elements. Do not install the
boiler outdoors. It is not designed to work outdoors and is
not fitted with the necessary automatic anti-frost systems
to do so.
a
Do not store containers of flammable substances in the
room where the boiler is installed.
a
Do not dispose of packaging material in the environment,
or leave it within the reach of children, since it can beco-
me a potential hazard. Dispose of packaging material in
compliance with applicable legislation.
