8.1 Notes for maintenance
Permanent operational readiness, safety, reliability and a
long service life require inspections and maintenance
work to be carried out regularly every year by a heating
engineer.
Danger!
Inspection, maintenance and repair work should
only be undertaken by an approved heating
installation company.
Inspections / Maintenance work not carried out
can result in damage to property and personal
injury.
Only genuine Vaillant spare parts may be used for
inspections, maintenance and repair work to ensure the
perfect long-term working order of all functions of your
Vaillant appliance and to prevent the allowed series
condition from being changed.
Any spare parts which might be required are listed in
the relevant current spare parts catalogues.

Service Centres.
