Checklist included in the instructions.
6.4 User’s Instructions
Hand these instructions for use to the user for retention
and instruct in the safe operation of the boiler and
cylinder. Advise the user of the operation of the cylinder
thermostat and the immersion heater thermostat, and
that normally a setting of max, which gives a stored
water temperature of approximately 60 °C is adequate.
Note:
In hard water areas the DHW temperature
setting should not exceed this setting to avoid
possible scale build-up.
Advise the user of the precautions necessary to prevent
damage to the system and to the building if the system
does not remain operative during frost conditions.
Advise the user that the immersion heater is provided
as a back up means of water heating and is not intended
for use at the same time that the boiler is heating the
cylinder.
Finally, advise the user that for continued efficient and
safe operation, the boiler and uniSTOR cylinder should
be serviced at least once a year by a qualified servicing
company. It is important and strongly recommended
that arrangements are made for a maintenance
agreement with a qualified servicing company to ensure
regular servicing of the boiler and cylinder.
Please contact Group Service

Note:
Leave installation, servicing and user
instructions with the user.
