Buderus 500-24S - Subject to modifications resulting from technical improvements
Regulations and directives
The manufacturer's notes must not be taken, in any way,
as overriding the statutory instrument laws.
The design and construction of the Buderus wall-
mounted condensing gas combi boiler 500-24s conforms
to the basic specifications listed in the European directive
governing gas-fired appliances 90/396/EEC, and with
respect to EN 625, EN 483 and EN 677.
For optimum long term reliable functioning under domes-
tic conditions, the boiler must be inspected and main-
tained as per these instructions, at least once a year by an
officially recognised service engineer.
The term "domestic conditions" means that the boiler is
used to provide central heating and / or hot water to no
more than one single family dwelling.
Failure to comply with these instructions will invalidate the
appliance warranty.
Timer Frame Buildings
If the boiler is to be fitted in a timber framed building it
should be fitted in accordance with the Institute of Gas
Engineering document IGE/UP/7 and BS 5440:1.
The appliance must only be installed along with Buderus
flue kits, as these are certified for use with the boiler.
Warning: Notes relating to the heating
system water.
Thoroughly flush the system before it is filled
with water. Use only untreated water or water
treatment product such as Sentinel X100 to
fill and top up the system. For more informa-
tion about Sentinel call 0151 420 9563.
When using water treatment, only products
suitable for use with Buderus heat exchang-
ers are permitted (e.g. Sentinel X100).
Your warranty is at risk if an incorrect water
treatment product is used in conjunction with
this appliance.
For more information, contact Buderus Tech-
nical Product Support Department.
It is most important that the correct concen-
tration of the water treatment product is
maintained in accordance with the manufac-
turer's instructions.
If the boiler is used in an existing system any
unsuitable additives MUST be removed by
thorough cleaning. BS.7593 details the
steps necessary to clean a domestic central
heating system.
