1 Safety
▶ Do not use any electrical switches, mains
plugs, doorbells, telephones or other com-
munication systems in the building.
▶ Close the emergency control valve or the
main isolator.
▶ If possible, close the gas isolator cock on
the product.
▶ Warn other occupants in the building by
yelling or banging on doors or walls.
▶ Leave the building immediately and ensure
that others do not enter the building.
▶ Alert the police and fire brigade as soon as
you are outside the building.
▶ Use a telephone outside the building to
inform the emergency service department
of the gas supply company.
1.3.4 Risk of death from leaks if the
product is installed below ground
level
Liquid gas accumulates at floor level. If the
product is installed below ground level, liquid
gas may accumulate at floor level if there
are any leaks. In this case, there is a risk of
explosion.
▶ Make sure that liquid gas cannot escape
from the product or the gas line under any
circumstance.
1.3.5 Risk of death due to blocked or
leaking flue gas routes
Installation errors, damage, tampering, unau-
thorised installation sites or similar can cause
flue gas to escape and result in a risk of pois-
oning.
What to do if you smell flue gas in the prop-
erty:
▶ Open all accessible doors and windows
fully to provide ventilation.
▶ Switch off the product.
▶ Check the flue gas routes in the product
and the flue gas diversions.
1.3.6 Risk of death due to explosive and
flammable materials
▶ Do not use the product in storage rooms
that contain explosive or flammable sub-
stances (such as petrol, paper or paint).

1.3.7 Risk of poisoning caused by
insufficient supply of combustion
air
Conditions: Open-flued operation
▶ Ensure that the air supply to the product's
installation room is permanently unobstruc-
ted and sufficient in accordance with the
relevant ventilation requirements.
1.3.8 Risk of corrosion damage due to
unsuitable combustion and room air
Sprays, solvents, chlorinated cleaning
agents, paint, adhesives, ammonia com-
pounds, dust or similar substances may lead
to corrosion on the product and in the flue
gas guiding.
▶ Ensure that the supply of combustion air is
always free of fluorine, chlorine, sulphur,
dust, etc.
▶ Ensure that no chemical substances are
stored at the installation site.
▶ Ensure that the combustion air is not
routed through chimneys which have
previously been used with floor-standing
oil-fired boilers, or with other boilers,
which could cause soot to build up in the
chimney.
▶ If you are installing the product in
hairdressing salons, painter's or joiner's
workshops, cleaning businesses or similar
locations, choose a separate installation
room in which the room air is technically
free of chemical substances.
1.3.9 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 by switching off all power supplies
at all poles (electrical partition with a con-
tact gap of at least 3 mm, e.g. fuse or cir-
cuit breaker).
▶ Secure against being switched back on
again.
▶ Check that there is no voltage.
