The ROTEX GCU compact may only be used for the heating of
hot water heating systems. It may only be erected, connected
and operated only according to the indications in this manual.
The ROTEX GCU compact must only be operated with the inte-
grated circulation pump and only in connection with a control
system that has been approved by ROTEX.
Any other use outside the intended use is considered as improper
and leads to a loss of warranty. The operator alone shall bear re-
sponsibility for any resulting damage.
Proper use also includes observing the relevant maintenance
and servicing conditions. Spare parts must at least satisfy the
technical requirements defined by the manufacturer. This is the
case, for example, with original spare parts.
