Intended use

The Vaillant ecoTEC pro boilers are state-of-the-art appli-
ances which have been constructed in accordance with rec-
ognised safety regulations. Nevertheless, there is still a risk
of injury or death to the operator or others or of damage to
the boiler and other property in the event of improper use
or use for which it is not intended.
This boiler is not intended for use by persons (including
children) having limited physical, sensory or mental capaci-
ties or who have inadequate experience and/or knowledge,
unless supervised by a person responsible for their safety
or who has been given instructions from them as to how to
operate the boiler.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the boiler.
The boiler is intended as a heater for closed hot water/cen-
tral heating installations and for hot water generation.
The use of the ecoTEC pro in vehicles, such as mobile
homes and caravans, is not classed as intended use. Units
that are not classed as vehicles are those that are installed
in a fixed and permanent location and that do not have any
wheels (fixed installation).
Any other use, or use beyond that specified, shall be con-
sidered as improper use. Any direct commercial or indus-
trial use is also deemed to be improper.
The manufacturer or supplier is not liable for any damage
resulting from such use. The user alone bears the risk.
Intended use includes the following:
– observing the included operating, installation and main-
tenance instructions for the Vaillant product and any
other parts and components of the system
– installing and fitting the appliance in accordance with the
boiler and system approval
– complying with all of the inspection and maintenance
conditions listed in the instructions.
