Intended use
The Vaillant ecoTEC pro boilers are constructed using state-
of-the-art technology in accordance with recognised safety
rules and regulations. Nevertheless, there is still a risk of
injury or death to the operator or others or of damage to
the boiler and other property in the event of improper use
or use for which it is not intended.
This boiler is not designed to be used by persons (including
children) with limited mental and sensory capabilities or by
persons who do not have enough experience and/or knowl-
edge, unless they are supervised by a person who is respon-
sible for their safety or they have been instructed by him/
her about how to use the boiler.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the boiler.
The boiler is intended as a heater for closed hot water/cen-
tral heating installations and for hot water generation.
The use of the ecoTEC pro in vehicles, such as mobile
homes and caravans, is not classed as intended use. Units
that are not classed as vehicles are those that are installed
in a fixed and permanent location and that do not have any
wheels (fixed installation).
Any other use, or use beyond that specified, shall be con-
sidered as improper use. Any direct commercial or indus-
trial use is also deemed to be improper.
The manufacturer or supplier is not liable for any damage
resulting from such use. The user alone bears the risk.
Intended use includes the following:
– observance of accompanying operating, installation and
maintenance instructions for Vaillant products as well as
for other parts and components of the system
– installing and fitting the appliance in accordance with the
boiler and system approval
