purchased the product if you notice any problems.
This Riello 7000 solar storage tank must be installed
by a qualified installer according to Law 46 of the 5th
March 1990. On completion of the installation, the
installer must issue the owner with a declaration of
conformity confirming that the installation has been
completed to the highest standards in compliance
with the instructions provided by Riello in this in-
struction manual, and that it conforms to all appli-
cable laws and standards.
This Riello 7000 solar storage tank must only be used
for the purpose specified by Riello and for which it
is designed. Riello declines all responsibility, con-
tractual or other, for damage to property or injury to
persons or animals caused by improper installation,
adjustment, maintenance or use.
If you notice any water leaking from the tank, di-
sconnect it immediately from the mains electricity
supply, shut off the water supply, and notify your
Riello Technical Assistance Centre or a qualified
technician immediately.
This storage tank must be serviced at least once a
year.
If the solar storage tank is not going to be used for
an extended period of time, prepare it for shutdown
as follows:
- Turn the system’s main power switch OFF.
- Drain the solar heating circuit, if connected, and
the heating system.
- Close the shut-off cocks for the water circuit.
- Shut down the boiler as instructed in its own ma-
nual.
If the storage tank is used as part of a solar heating
system, you will need to pre-mix separately purcha-
sed anti-freeze (propylene glycol) with water in a
percentage varying from 30% to 50% as instructed
in the relevant Riello installation and maintenance
manual.
Only fill the solar heating system with water and
glycol premixed in the percentages specified in the
Riello installation and maintenance manual.
This instruction manual is an integral part of the sto-
rage tank. It must be kept safe and must ALWAYS ac-
company the appliance, even if it is sold to another
owner or transferred to another user or to another
installation. If you damage or lose this manual, or-
der a replacement immediately from your local Riello
Technical Assistance Centre.
The operation of any appliance that uses electrical power
and water demands that a number of fundamental safety
precautions be respected. In particular:
Do not allow children or infirm persons to operate
the storage tank unsupervised.
Do not touch the storage tank when barefoot or wet.
Never clean or service the storage tank without first
disconnecting it from the mains electricity supply by
turning the main power switch and the control panel
switch OFF.
Do not interfere with any control devices without
specific authorisation and instructions from the ma-
nufacturer.
Never pull, disconnect, or twist the electrical cables
coming from the appliance even if it is disconnected
from the mains electricity supply.
Do not expose the storage tank to the elements.
It is not designed for use outdoors.
Do not leave packaging material within the reach of
children, since it can become a potential hazard.
If the pressure in the solar heating circuit drops, do
not top up with water alone, since this increases the
risk of damage from freezing.
Do not use connections or safety devices or fittings
(expansion vessels, pipes, insulation) that are not
specifically designed and tested for use in solar hea-
ting installations.
