Safety information
Qualification of personnel
- The work procedures described in this manual
must only be carried out by qualified specialist
personnel.
- Work on electrical components must be per-
formed by trained electricians and in accordance
with the relevant laws and directives.
Installation and commissioning
- System may only be installed and brought into op-
eration by certified qualified personnel (SOLAR-
FOCUS service technician or SOLARFOCUS ser-
vice partner).
Keep unauthorized persons and children away
- Danger of burns due to hot lines and hot compo-
nents, risk of injury from mechanically moving
parts. Keep unauthorised persons away, do not
leave children unattended, and control access to
the boiler room and fuel storage room.
Safety equipment
- Never disengage the safety equipment of the
heating system. In case of failure, arrange for im-
mediate repair.
Maintenance and repair
- Perform maintenance activities at the specified in-
tervals. No or incorrect maintenance leads to inef-
ficient operation, higher failure risk of the boiler
and increased potential for hazards.
Recommendation: Conclude maintenance con-
tract
- Have repairs done by qualified personnel only.
Improper repairs can lead to risks for the user and
impaired operation.
- Only store hot ashes in metal containers. Never
put hot or warm ash in the dustbin. This poses a
huge fire risk.
- For repairs use only original spare parts or parts
approved by the manufacturer (e.g. standard
parts).
Damage to the system
- If the electrical insulation on cables, plugs or
switches becomes damaged, switch off the power
supply and have the insulation repaired.
- In the event of visible damage (e.g. thermal defor-
mation, mechanical damage), operation of the
system must not be continued. The system may
only be operated if it is in perfect technical condi-
tion.

Regular maintenance and cleaning
- The boiler and the heating system components
must be maintained and checked regularly.
- This is the prerequisite for the following:
- Long-term reliability of the boiler function
- Energy-saving and environmentally friendly
operation of the boiler
- Long service life of the boiler
- Option/recommendation: Conclude maintenance
contract.
- Documentation is crucial: When maintenance is
performed by qualified personnel, the activities
carried out/measures taken are documented in
the maintenance log. It is advisable to keep a sys-
tem book, especially when foregoing maintenance
by qualified personnel (for documenting/as proof
of one's own activities).

bustion and cause damage to the boiler.
