4. FILLING THE SYSTEM IMPORTANT: increase pressure if it is too low. 5. SWITCHING THE BOILER OFF To shut down the boiler switch off the electrical supply to the appliance. 6. PROLONGED STANDSTILL OF THE SYSTEM. FROST PROTECTION We recommend you avoid draining the whole system as raw water makeup will lead to harmful limestone de- posits inside the boiler and on the heating elements.
8. GENERAL INFORMATION installation. Instructions regarding lighting and operation of the boiler are contained in the ‘Instructions pertai- ning to the user’ section. Please note the following: chapter 10.4. a potential source of danger. stion of the gas consumed by the appliance. Install unblockable ventilation grilles as necessary in accordance Failure to observe the above will render the warranty null and void.
precautions: Heating circuit 1.1. New system alkaline. The recommended products for cleaning are: in accordance with the maker’s directions. Finally the system must be dosed with a suitable inhibitor at 1% system volume. 1.2. Existing system strictly in accordance with the maker’s directions. of the boiler (e.g.
