▶ Open windows and doors.
▶ Do not operate any electrical switches or equipment such as
telephones, power plugs and doorbells.
▶ Extinguish all open flames. Do not smoke. Do not use lighters of any
kind.
▶ Warn all occupants of the building, but do not ring doorbells.
▶ If you can actually hear gas escaping, leave the building immediately.
Prevent others from entering and notify the police and fire
department from outside the building.
▶ From outside the building, call gas supplier and approved heating
contractor.
If you smell flue gas
▶ Switch off the boiler ( page 7).
▶ Open windows and doors.
▶ Inform an authorized heating contractor.
Installation and conversion
▶ Correct and proper installation and adjustment of the burner and the
programmer are the fundamental requirements for safe and
economical operation of the boiler.
▶ The boiler may only be installed or converted by an approved heating
contractor.
▶ Do not modify any parts that carry flue gas.
▶ With balanced flue appliances: do not cover or reduce the size of
ventilation openings in doors, windows and walls. If draft-proof
windows are fitted, ensure there is an adequate supply of air to the
room for combustion.
▶ The hot water tank may only be used for heating domestic hot water.
▶ Never shut off safety valves. Water may escape from the safety
valve for the hot water system and piping when the water is being
heated.
Maintenance and servicing
Heating systems should be regularly maintained for the following
reasons:
• to achieve a high level of efficiency and to operate the system
economically (low fuel consumption),
• to achieve a high level of operational reliability,
• to maintain the cleanest possible combustion.
▶ Recommendation for users: take out a maintenance and servicing
contract with an approved heating contractor covering annual
servicing and condition-based maintenance.
▶ Servicing and repairs may only be carried out by an approved heating
contractor.
▶ Have any faults immediately put right in order to prevent damage to
the system.
▶ The operator is responsible for the general and environmental safety
of the heating system.
▶ Use only genuine spare parts. Damage caused by the use of parts not
supplied by Buderus is not covered by the Buderus warranty.

General safety instructions and explanation of symbols

Danger of failure to consider your own safety in an emergency such
as a fire
▶ Never put yourself at risk of fatal injury. Your own safety must always
take the highest priority.
Dangers posed by explosive and easily combustible materials
▶ Any work on components that carry gas may only be carried out by an
approved heating engineer.
▶ Do not use or store easily combustible materials (paper, thinners,
paints, etc.) near the boiler.
▶ Maintain a clearance of 16 inches from the boiler.
Risk of poisoning. An insufficient supply of air can result in
dangerous escape of flue gas.
▶ Never close off or reduce the size of air inlet or outlet vents.
▶ The boiler must not be operated until the obstruction has been
removed.
Risk of water damage
▶ Do not use the appliance if any part of it has been under water.
▶ Call in a qualified customer service contractor immediately to check
the appliance and replace any programming or gas valve components
that have been under water.
Combustion air
▶ Keep the combustion air free of corrosive substances (e.g.
halogenated hydrocarbons that contain chlorine or fluorine
compounds). In that way you will prevent corrosion.
Instructing the customer
▶ The operator must read the information on how the boiler works and
have the heating system installer (approved heating contractor)
explain how to operate it.
Other important information
▶ If the system overheats or the gas supply does not shut off, on no
account should you switch off or disconnect the power supply to the
pump. Instead, you should shut off the gas supply somewhere else
separate from the heating system.
▶ The flue system must be inspected once a year. Have all parts that
show any signs of damage from corrosion or other causes replaced.
▶ The boiler must be serviced by qualified boiler service company once
a year. Servicing must include the main burner, the entire flue and air
supply system and any air inlet/outlet vents. All parts that show any
signs of damage from corrosion or other causes must be replaced.
