safety devices.

 

„

Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect 

the appliance and to replace any part of the control sys-

tem and any gas control, which has been underwater.

 

„

In case of danger, request intervention by qualified per-

sonnel.

 

„

In case of danger, switch off the electrical power and gas 

supplies only if this can be done in total safety.

 

„

Do not entrust children, persons with physical, sensory 

or mental disabilities or persons with poor knowledge 

and experience with use of the appliance.

Gas component tightness

 

„

Before performing any operation on gas ducting compo-

nents, close the gas valve.

 

„

Upon completing any procedure, perform the tightness 

test according to regulations in force.

Gas smell

If you smell gas:

 

„

Do not use electrical devices such as telephones, multi-

meters or other equipment that may cause sparks next 

to the appliance.

 

„

Shut off the gas supply by turning the valve off.

 

„

Switch off the power supply via the external disconnect 

switch in the power supply electrical panel.

 

„

Use a telephone away from the appliance to ask for inter-

vention from qualified personnel.

Poisoning

 

„

Ensure the flue gas ducts are tightness and compliant 

with the regulations in force.

 

„

Upon completing any procedure, ensure the tightness of 

the components.

Moving parts

The appliance contains moving parts.

 

„

Do not remove guards during operation, and in any case 

prior to disconnecting the power supply.

Burn hazard

The appliance contains very hot parts.

 

„

Do not open the appliance and do not touch internal 

components before the appliance has cooled down.

 

„

Do not touch the flue gas exhaust before it has cooled 

down.

Pressure vessels

The appliance has a sealed circuit classified as pres-

sure vessel, the tightness of which is tested by the 

manufacturer.

 

„

Do not carry out any intervention on the sealed circuit or 

on the appliance's valves.

Water-ammonia solution

The GAHP unit uses the ammonia-water absorption 

cycle. The water-ammonia solution is contained in the 

sealed circuit. The solution is harmful for health if it is in-

gested, inhaled or comes in contact with the skin.

 

„

In the event of coolant leak keep away and disconnect 

the power and gas supply (only if it is possible to do so 

with no danger).

 

„

It is recommended that no work be performed on the 

sealed circuit except by a 

qualified service technician 

or engineer

.

 

„

Care should be taken not to disturb or handle the valves 

of the sealed circuit.

Electrocution hazard

 

„

Disconnect the electrical power supply before any op-

eration on appliance components.

 

„

For electrical connections exclusively use compliant 

components and according to the specifications pro-

vided by the manufacturer.

 

„

Ensure the appliance cannot be accidentally switched 

back on.

Grounding

Electrical safety depends on effective grounding system, 

correctly connected to the appliance and installed ac-

cording to the regulations in force.

Distance from combustible or flammable materials

 

„

Do not deposit flammable materials (paper, diluents, 

paints, etc.) near the appliance.

Limescale and corrosion

Depending on the chemical/physical properties of the 

system water, limescale or corrosion may damage the 

appliance (Paragraph 3.7 

p. 22).

 

„

Check system sealing.

 

„

Avoid frequent top-ups.

Chloride concentration

The concentration of chlorides or free chlorine in the 

system water must not exceed the values in Table 

3.2 

p. 22.

Aggressive substances in the air

Halogenated hydrocarbons containing chlorine and flu-

orine compounds cause corrosion. The air of the installa-

tion site must be free from aggressive substances.

Switching the appliance off

Disconnecting the power supply while the appliance 

is running may cause permanent damage to internal 

components.

 

„

Except in the case of danger, do not disconnect the pow-

er supply to switch off the appliance, but always and ex-

clusively act through the provided control device (DDC 

or external request).

In the event of failure

Operations on internal components and repairs may 

exclusively be carried out by an AT, using only original 

parts.

 

„

In the event of failure of the appliance and/or breakage 

of any component, do not attempt to repair and/or re-

store and immediately contact the AT.
