Packaging
The following points should be observed during unpacking.
▶ Check the delivery immediately upon receipt for completeness and
possible transport damage.
▶ In the event of transport damage, the delivery should only be
accepted conditionally.

Health and safety
The appliance contains no asbestos and no substances have been used
in the construction process that contravene the COSHH Regulations
(Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1988).
H
Danger of burns and scalds
▶ Surfaces of individual components, connections and leaking water
can be very hot and cause severe burns and scalds.
▶ Do not touch hot surfaces.
▶ Caution should be taken not to touch any leaking water or drained
system water unless the temperature is known and safe.
H
Intended use
The HIU provides DHW and heating energy to buildings that are supplied
indirectly by district heating or heat network systems.
▶ Only use the HIU in sealed systems for central heating and DHW
heating.
▶ To ensure compliance with the intended use, observe the information
on the data plate and the specifications.
▶ Only install the HIU in frost-free room or enclosure. Ensure a ambient
temperature range of 2 °C to 30 °C.
▶ Only install the HIU straight and vertically upright, as described in
these instructions.
H
Danger of burns and scalds
Individual components and discharging water can be very hot and inflict
burns.
▶ Do not touch hot surfaces.
▶ Unless you know what the temperature of the discharging water is,
you should not touch it.
H
Inspection and maintenance
Regular inspection and maintenance are prerequisites for safe and
energy efficient operation of the heating system.
We recommend you inspect the HIU at least every three years in line with
BSRIA guidance.
▶ Have work carried out only by an approved installer.
▶ If any faults are discovered, have them remedied immediately.
H
Handover to the user
When handing over the heating system, explain the operation and
operating conditions to the operator.
▶ Explain operation – with particular emphasis on all safety-related
actions.
▶ Highlight the following points in particular:
– Point out that modifications or repairs may be carried out only by
an competend contractor.
– To ensure safe and environmentally compatible operation, an
inspection every three years, and also cleaning and maintenance
if required, must be carried out.
▶ Point out the possible consequences (personal injury and possible
danger to life or material damage) of not carrying out inspection,
cleaning and maintenance correctly, or omitting it altogether.
