If you smell gas
Danger
Escaping gas can lead to explosions which may
result in serious injury.
Do not smoke. Prevent naked flames and
■
sparks. Do not switch lights or electrical appli-
ances on or off.
Close the gas shut-off valve.
■
Open windows and doors.
■
Evacuate any people from the danger zone.
■
Notify your gas or electricity supplier and your
■
local heating contractor from outside the build-
ing.
Shut off the electricity supply to the building
■
from a safe place (outside the building).
If you smell flue gas
Danger
Flue gas can lead to life threatening poisoning.
Shut down the heating system.
■
Ventilate the installation site.
■
Close all doors in the living space.
■
Flue systems and combustion air
Ensure that flue systems are clear and cannot be
sealed, for instance due to accumulation of conden-
sate or other causes. Ensure a sufficient supply of
combustion air.
Instruct system users that subsequent modifications to
the building characteristics are not permissible (e.g.
cable/pipework routing, cladding or partitions).
Danger
Leaking or blocked flue systems, or an insuffi-
cient supply of combustion air can cause life
threatening poisoning from carbon monoxide in
the flue gas.
Ensure the flue system is in proper working
order. Apertures for supplying combustion air
must be non-closable.
Extractors
Operating appliances that extract air to the outside
(cooker hoods, extractors, air conditioning units, etc.)
can create negative pressure. If the boiler is operated
at the same time, this can lead to reverse flow of the
flue gas.
Danger
The simultaneous operation of the boiler and
appliances that extract air to the outside can
result in life threatening poisoning due to
reverse flow of the flue gas.
Fit an interlock circuit or take suitable steps to
ensure a sufficient supply of combustion air.
