4.1 GENERAL WARNINGS

Appropriate Use of the Boiler

This boiler MUST be used for the use for which it has been expressively designed. Any other
use shall be considered improper and therefore dangerous.
This boiler is designed to heat water at a temperature below the boiling point at atmospheric

Prerequisite System Flushing

Before installing the boiler the following actions MUST be carried out by a competent engineer
or technician:
a) The whole system should be thoroughly flushed in order to remove any residual dirt or grime
which could compromise correct boiler operation.
b) Check that the boiler has been preset for operating with the gas type available. This is
verifiable via the indication on the packaging and on the data badge;
c) Check that the flue pipe has an adequate draft, does not have any constrictions or
obstructions, and that no other appliance's flue outlets have been fitted, unless the flue pipe
is serving more than one heating appliance, according to the specific standards and
regulations in force. The connection between the boiler and flue outlet can be made only
after this verification has been carried out.
