2.1 Erection
and
adjustment
Installation and adjustment of the boiler and service,
maintenance and repair work may only be carried out
by expert technicians in accordance with regulations in-
troduced in 1998 governing the safety of gas installa-
tions (installation and use). (In Great Britain "CORGI".
This means that the work carried out by registered in-
stallation companies must always be to a safe and satis-
factory standard.) If the boiler is mounted in a cabinet-
type enclosure the ventilation openings must not be ob-
structed and the enclosure must not be used for stor-
age purposes.

2.3 Safety
instructions
Always observe the following safety instructions and
regulations.
d
Danger!
Inflammable mixtures of gas and air may ex-
plode!
Do not use or store explosives or highly flam-
mable substances, such as petrol or paint, in
the same room as the unit.
d
Danger!
Risk of poisoning and explosion due to a mal-
function!
Never put the safety devices out of operation
or tamper with them so as to impair their
function.
Therefore, do not attempt any modifications:
- to the unit,
- around the unit,
- to the gas, air, water and electricity supply pipes,
- to the expansion relief valve and drain line for the
heating water,
- to the flue gas pipes.
This also applies to alterations to structural elements in
the vicinity of the appliance which might affect its oper-
ational safety.
Example:
- If you require cabinet-type cladding for your unit, con-
sult your recognised expert technician company.
Under no circumstances must you enclose your device
arbitrarily. Enclosing the appliance in a cabinet re-
quires observance of special design instructions.
For alterations to the appliance or to its environment,
you must refer to the suitably qualified heating engi-
neer which is responsible for it.
