SAFETY & GAS INFORMATION
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE COMMENCING WITH THE INSTALLATION
4.1
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
4.1.1
An LPG unit should not be installed in a room or internal space below ground level unless one side of the sides
of the building is open to the ground.
4.1.2
Only use QuanTec original spare parts on this appliance. Failure to do so will invalidate the guarantee.
4.1.3
No artificially softened water must not be used to fill the central heating system.
4.1.4
The system can be damaged by debris entering the heat exchanger and reduce efficiency. It is recommended
that the boiler is flushed, follow these guidelines as this will protect the boiler and prolong its life.
4.1.5
It is important that the system is flushed thoroughly before the appliance is left to operate (as recommended in BS
7593) in order to maintain an efficiently operating heating system. For replacement installations, the system MUST
be flushed with the old boiler in situ, in order to prevent the QuanTec becoming a trap for system debris. Once the
system has been flushed, an inhibitor (suitable for stainless steel heat exchangers) should be added. Appropriate
inhibitors are available, for example Sentinel, Fernox and Salamander. We also recommend a Magnetic & Non
Magnetic Filtration system is fitted between the last radiator and the boiler.
4.1.6
Failure to carry out the above procedure will invalidate the guarantee!
