3.1 Vaillant
warranty
Vaillant provide a full parts and labour warranty for this
appliance.
The appliance must be installed by a suitably competent
person in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation
and Use) Regulations 1998, and the manufacturer’s in-
structions. In the UK ‘CORGI’ registered installers under-
take the work in compliance with safe and satisfactory
standards. All unvented domestic hot water cylinders
must be installed by a competent person to the prevail-
ing building regulations at the time of installation. (G3)
Terms and conditions apply to the warranty, details of
which can be found on the warranty registration card
included with this appliance.
Failure to install and commission this appliance in com-
pliance with the manufacturer’s instructions may invali-
date the warranty (this does not affect the customer’s
statutory rights).
3.2
Intended use
The Valliant atmo ecoTEC wall boilers are state-of-the-
art appliances which have been constructed in accord-
ance with recognised safety regulations. Nevertheless,
there is still a risk of injury or death to the user or oth-
ers or of damage to the device and other property in
the event of improper use or use for which it is not in-
tended.
This unit is not intended for use by persons (including
children) having limited physical, sensory or mental ca-
pacities or who have inadequate experience and/or
knowledge, unless supervised by a person responsible
for their safety or who has been given instructions from
them as to how to operate the unit. Children must be
watched to ensure that they do not play with the unit.
The units are intended as heat generators for closed
hot-water central heating installations and for central
hot water preparation. Any other or additional use is
considered to be improper. The manufacturer or suppli-
er is not liable for any resulting damage. The user alone
bears the risk.
Intended use includes the observance of the operating
and installation manual and all other applicable docu-
ments, as well as adherence to the maintenance and in-
spection conditions.
a
Caution!
Any improper use is forbidden.
3.3
Requirements of the installation site
The Valliant ecoTEC gas wall boilers are installed on the
wall so that condensation can be diverted and so that
the flue system pipes can be laid.
They can be installed in basements, storage rooms, utili-
ty rooms or living areas. Ask your heating engineer
which national regulations must be observed.
h
Note!
It is not necessary to keep a clearance between
the appliance and combustible materials or
components, since at the rated heating power
of the appliance the temperature at the surface
of the housing is always lower than the maxi-
mum allowed temperature of 85 °C.
3.4 Care
• Clean the cladding of your unit with a damp cloth and
a little soap.
a
Caution!
Risk of damage
Do not use scouring or cleaning agents which
might damage the cladding, fittings or controls.
