product if you are an authorised competent
person.
1.3 General safety information
1.3.1 Danger caused by improper
operation
Improper operation may present a danger to
you and others, and cause material damage.
▶
Carefully read the enclosed instructions
and all other applicable documents, par-
ticularly the "Safety" section and the warn-
ings.
1.3.2 Risk of death from electric shock
There is a risk of death from electric shock if
you touch live components.
Before commencing work on the product:
▶
Disconnect the product from the power
supply (electrical partition with a contact
opening of at least 3 mm, e.g. fuse or
power switch).
▶
Secure against being switched back on
again.
▶
Wait for at least 3 minutes until the con-
densers have discharged.
▶
Check that there is no voltage.
▶ Cover or insulate adjacent live parts.
1.3.3 Risk of death due to lack of safety
devices
A lack of safety devices (e.g. expansion re-
lief valve, expansion vessel) may lead to po-
tentially fatal scalding and other injuries, e.g.
due to explosions. The schematic drawings
included in this document do not show all
safety devices required for correct installa-
tion.
▶ Install the necessary safety devices in the
system.
▶ Inform the operator about the function and
position of the safety devices.
▶ Observe the applicable national and inter-
national laws, standards and guidelines.
1.3.4 Risk of being scalded by hot
drinking water
There is a risk of scalding at the hot water
draw-off points if the hot water temperatures
are greater than 50 °C. Young children and
elderly persons are particularly at risk, even
at lower temperatures.
▶
Select the temperature so that nobody is at
risk.
1.3.5 Risk of injury or material damage
due to incorrect handling of the
product
Using the fins on the front side of the product
as conductors may lead to injuries (due to
falling) or to material damage.
▶ Do not use the fins as conductors.
1.3.6 Risk of material damage due to
additional elements in the heating
water
Unsuitable frost and corrosion protection
agents may damage seals and other com-
ponents of the heating circuit and may there-
fore also lead to leaks in the water outlet.
▶ Only add approved frost and corrosion
protection agents to the heating water.
