Commissioning Preamble This manual contains general informa- tion regarding the installation, commis- sioning, operation, maintenance and inspection. It must be supplemented and specifically adapted in accordance with country-specific regulations. In addition, any instructions for the equipment and auxiliary systems that are part of the boiler system must be incorporated into the manual supplied with the system.

Commissioning Commissioning (cont.) The length of the shutdown period also determines the preservation measures described in chapter "Preservation". A short-term shutdown is not recommen- ded, as every start-up process subjects the boiler to additional stresses. For a period of up to 24 hours or over a week- end, the boiler should continue in oper- ation.
72 hours without supervision means every three days. Every 6 months/12 months: These checks should be carried out by a spe- cialist contractor, e.g. the Viessmann Industrie- service or the manufacturers of the boiler sys- tem, combustion equipment or water treat- ment.
