2.2 Intended use
There is a risk of injury or death to the user or others, or
of damage to the product and other property, in the
event of improper use or use for which it is not intended.
The units must only be used to heat up drinking water in
accordance with the drinking water ordinance and are
suitable for use only in an enclosed, frost-free room in a
domestic environment. Any other use or use beyond
that specified shall be considered as improper use.
Intended use includes the following:
– observance of accompanying operating, installation
and servicing instructions for the product and any
other system components
– compliance with all inspection and maintenance con-
ditions listed in the instructions.
The unit is intended for use in a domestic environment,
i.e. it can be operated safely by persons who have not
received training in how to operate it. The unit can also
be used in a non-household environment, e.g. small busi-
nesses, provided it is used in the same way.
This unit can be used by children over eight years old
and also by persons with limited physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or insufficient experience and/or
knowledge if they are supervised or have been provided
with instructions on how to safely use the unit, and they
understand the risks resulting from using the unit. Chil-
dren must not play with the unit. Cleaning and user-
maintenance work must not be carried out by children
unless they are supervised.
Using the electric hot water storage tank in vehicles is
regarded as improper use. Units that are not classed as
vehicles are those that are installed in a fixed and per-
manent location (known as "fixed installation").
Damage to the unit due to corrosion cannot be excluded
if the water does not comply with the drinking water
ordinance.
The Vaillant electric hot water storage tank is a depres-
surised unit and must be used only in conjunction with a
low-pressure fitting.
Any other use or use beyond that specified shall be con-
sidered as improper use. The manufacturer/supplier is
not liable for any damage resulting from such use. The
user alone bears the risk.
Caution!
Improper use of any kind is prohibited.
