It can be taken to a special recycling centre managed by the local authorities, or to a dealer who offers this service. Separate disposal of a domestic appliance avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and human health deriving from inappropriate waste handling and allows the recovery of the materials of which it is made, in order to obtain significant energy and resource savings.
Attention: this manual contains instructions for the exclusive use of the professionally qualified installer and/or maintenance technician in compliance with current legislation. The user is NOT qualified to intervene on the boiler. The manufacturer will not be held liable in case of damage to persons, animals or objects resulting from failure to comply with the instructions contained in the manuals supplied with the boiler.
Any repairs must be performed solely by personnel regarding installation, use and maintenance safety. authorised by Unical AG S.p.A., using original spare parts only. Failure to comply with the above can Keep the booklet with care for further consultation.
The appliance is designed to work in heating systems, with hot water circulation, for the production of domestic hot water. Any other use is considered improper. For any damage resulting from improper use UNICAL AG. S.p.A. assumes no respon- sibility. Use according to the intended purposes also includes strict compliance with the in- structions in this manual.
