Environmental protection and disposal

Environmental protection is a fundamental corporate strategy of the
Bosch Group. The quality of our products, their economy and
environmental safety are all of equal importance to us and all
environmental protection legislation and regulations are strictly
observed. We use the best possible technology and materials for
protecting the environment taking account of economic considerations.
Packaging
Where packaging is concerned, we participate in country-specific recycling
processes that ensure optimum recycling. All of our packaging materials are
environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
Used appliances
Used appliances contain valuable materials that can be recycled.
The various assemblies can be easily dismantled. Synthetic materials are
marked accordingly. Assemblies can therefore be sorted by composition
and passed on for recycling or disposal.
Old electrical and electronic appliances
This symbol indicates that the product must not be
disposed of with other waste, but be taken to the waste
collection centers for treatment, collection, recycling and
disposal procedure.
The symbol applies to countries with electronic waste
regulations, for example the European Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Directive 2012/19/EU. These regulations determine the
framework for the return and recycling of used electronic appliances as
applicable within each country.
As electronic equipment may contain hazardous substances, it needs to
be recycled responsibly in order to minimize any potential harm to the
environment and human health. Furthermore, recycling of your
electronic waste will help to conserve natural resources.
For additional information on the environmentally safe disposal of
electrical and electronic equipment, please contact the relevant local
authorities, your household waste disposal service or the retailer where
you purchased the product.

Inspection and maintenance

NOTICE:
Boiler damage through a lack of, or unsatisfactory, cleaning and
inspection or maintenance!
▶ Have the heating system inspected at least once a year, and have any
necessary maintenance or cleaning work carried out.
▶ Clean the boiler at least every 2 years. We recommend annual
cleaning.
▶ Check and clean the condensate pipes and siphon annually.
▶ Carry out any maintenance immediately to avoid any damage to the
system.
▶ Remedy all faults immediately.
Heating systems must be serviced regularly for the following reasons:
• to achieve a high level of efficiency and to operate the heating system
economically (low fuel consumption),
• to achieve a high level of operational safety and reliability,
• to maintain the cleanest possible combustion,
• to ensure safe and reliable operation and a long service life.

Offer your customer an annual maintenance and inspection contract,
which is based on actual requirements. You can check in the inspection
and maintenance protocols which activities must be included in a
maintenance contract ( Chapter 17.7).
Refer to the spare parts catalogue when ordering spare parts.
