GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
b
Check that the product is complete, undamaged and as
ordered as soon as you receive it. Report any discrepan-
cies or damage to the
T
dealer who sold it.
b
This product must be installed by a legally qualified heat-
ing engineer. On completion of the installation, the install-
er 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
T
in this instruction manual, and
that it conforms to all applicable laws and standards.
b
This product must only be used for the purpose for which
it is designed and made, as specified by
T
.
T
declines all responsibility, contractual or
other, for damage to property or injury to persons or ani-
mals caused by improper installation, adjustment, main-
tenance or use.
b
The product must be serviced at least once a year. Servic-
ing must be arranged in advance with the
T
Technical Assistance Centre.
b
All servicing and repairs must be performed by a quali-
fied heating engineer.
b
If water leaks from the storage cylinder, turn off the water
supply and contact
T
’s Technical Assistance
Centre or a qualified heating engineer immediately.
b
If the product is not going to be used for an extended
period of time, contact the manufacturer’s Technical As-
sistance Centre to have at least the following operations
performed:
- Close the shut-off cocks for the domestic hot water cir-
cuit
- Shut down the boiler connected to the storage cylinder
as instructed in its own manual
- Switch the storage cylinder OFF at the control panel (if
fitted) and at the mains power switch
- Drain the central heating circuit and domestic hot water
circuit if there is any risk of freezing.
b
This instruction manual is an integral part of the prod-
uct. It must be kept safe and must ALWAYS accompany
the product, even if it is sold to another owner or trans-
ferred to another user or to another installation. If you
lose this manual, order a replacement immediately. Keep
the product purchase documents to be presented to the
T
authorised Technical Assistance Centre to
request a service call under warranty.
b
Size the solar expansion tank so as to ensure complete
absorption of the expansion of the fluid contained within
the system, with reference to the prevailing regulations
on the matter. In particular, consider fluid characteris-
tics, considerable fluctuation of service temperature and
vapour that might be generated during solar collector
stagnation stage. Proper size of expansion tank ensures
setting off of all volume changes of the heat transfer fluid,
avoiding excessive pressure increase. Limited pressure
changes avoid reaching safety valve opening pressure
and the consequent fluid drainage.
PRECAUTIONS
The operation of any appliance that uses electrical power de-
mands that a number of fundamental safety precautions be
respected. In particular:
a
Never attempt to install the system without using suitable
personal protection equipment and without following all
applicable occupational safety standards.
a
It is forbidden to touch the device while barefoot or with
wet or moist body parts.
a
It is forbidden to perform any technical or cleaning op-
erations before having disconnected the device from its
electrical power supply, by setting the system's main
switch to "off".
a
It is forbidden to pull, detach, or twist the electrical ca-
bles protruding from the device, even if it is disconnect-
ed from its electrical power supply.
a
Do not expose the storage cylinder to the elements. It is
not designed for use outdoors.
a
If solar plant pressure decreases, it is forbidden to top
up with only water as there is a danger of freezing and
overheating.
a
Do not use connections or safety devices or fittings (ex-
pansion vessels, pipes, insulation) that are not specifi-
cally designed and tested for use in solar water heating
systems.
a
Do not allow children or infirm persons to operate the
system unsupervised.
a
Do not dispose of packaging material into the environ-
ment, or leave it within the reach of children, since it can
become a potential hazard. Dispose of packaging mate-
rial in compliance with applicable legislation.
a
It is forbidden to use the pipes for handling.
