1.3.6 Explosive and flammable substances
To prevent explosions and fire:
▶
Do not use the product in storage rooms
that contain explosive or flammable sub-
stances (such as petrol, paper or paint).
1.3.7 High temperatures
To prevent burns:
▶
Only carry out work on components once
they have cooled down.
To prevent material damage that is caused
by heat transfer:
▶
Only solder connectors if the connectors
are not yet screwed to the service valves.
1.3.8 Heating water
Both unsuitable heating water and air in the
heating water may cause material damage to
the product and in the heat generator circuit.
▶
Check the quality of the heating water.

▶
If you use non-diffusion-tight plastic pipes
in the heating installation, ensure that no
air gets into the heat generator circuit.
1.3.9 Neutralisation device
To prevent contamination of the waste water:
▶
Check whether a neutralising unit must
be installed in accordance with national
regulations.
▶
Observe local regulations on neutralising
condensate.
1.3.10 Frost
To prevent material damage:
▶
Do not install the product in rooms prone
to frost.
1.3.11 Safety devices
▶
Install the necessary safety devices in the
installation.
1.3.12 Risk of death from leaks if the
product is installed below ground
level
Liquid gas accumulates at floor level. If the
product is installed below ground level, liquid
gas may accumulate at floor level if there
are any leaks. In this case, there is a risk of
explosion.
▶
Make sure that liquid gas cannot escape
from the product or the gas pipe under any
circumstances.
1.3.13 Risk of material damage caused by
leak detection sprays and fluids
Leak detection sprays and fluids block the
filter for the mass flow sensor on the Venturi,
thereby destroying the mass flow sensor.
▶
During repair work, do not apply any leak
detection sprays or fluids to the covering
cap on the filter for the Venturi.
1.3.14 Risk of damage to the flexible gas
pipe
The corrugated gas pipe may become dam-
aged if weight is placed on it.
▶
Do not suspend the compact thermal
module on the flexible gas pipe, for
example during maintenance work.
1.4

Observe the national regulations, stand-
ards, directives, ordinances and laws.
1.5
