If you smell flue gas
Danger
Flue gas can lead to life threat-
ening poisoning.
■ Shut down the heating system.
■ Ventilate the installation site.
■ Close all doors in the living
space.
Flue systems and combustion air
Ensure that flue systems are clear and
cannot be sealed, for instance due to
accumulation of condensate or other
causes. Ensure a sufficient supply of
combustion air.
Instruct system users that subsequent
modifications to the building characteris-
tics are not permissible (e.g. cable/pipe-
work routing, cladding or partitions).
Danger
Leaking or blocked flue systems,
or an insufficient supply of com-
bustion air can cause life threat-
ening poisoning from carbon
monoxide in the flue gas.
Ensure the flue system is in
proper working order. Apertures
for supplying combustion air
must be non-closable.
Extractors
Operating appliances that extract air to
the outside (cooker hoods, extractors, air
conditioning units, etc.) can create neg-
ative pressure. If the boiler is operated at
the same time, this can lead to reverse
flow of the flue gas.
Danger
The simultaneous operation of
the boiler and appliances that
extract air to the outside can
result in life threatening poison-
ing due to reverse flow of the flue
gas.
Fit an interlock circuit or take suit-
able steps to ensure a sufficient
supply of combustion air.
Working on the system
■ Where gas is used as the fuel, close
the main gas shut-off valve and safe-
guard it against unintentional reopen-
ing.
■ Isolate the system from the power sup-
ply (e.g. by removing the separate fuse
or by means of a mains isolator) and
check that it is no longer 'live'.
■ Safeguard the system against recon-
nection.
Danger
Hot surfaces can cause burns.
■ Before maintenance or service
work, switch OFF the appli-
ance and let it cool down.
■ Never touch hot surfaces on
the boiler, burner, flue system
or pipework.
!
Please note
Electronic assemblies can be
damaged by electrostatic dis-
charge.
Before beginning work, touch
earthed objects, such as heating
or water pipes, to discharge static
loads.
