Health and Safety Regulations
It is the duty of manufacturers and suppliers of
products to ensure, so far as is practicable, that
such products are safe and without risk to health
when properly used and to make available to
users, adequate information about their safe and
proper operation.
This Water Heater should only be used in the
manner and purpose for which it
in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
Although the Heater has been manufactured with
paramount consideration to safety, certain basic
precautions specified in this manual must be
taken by the user. It is imperative that all users of
the Heater must be provided with all the informa-
tion and instruction necessary to ensure correct
and safe operation.
Combating Legionella
Water systems in buildings have been associated
with outbreaks of Legionnaires' Disease, particu-
larly in health care facilities where occupants are
significantly more susceptible to infection.
In recognition of the risks in hospitals, a Code of
Practice for the Control of Legionella in Health
Care premises has been issued by the
Department of Health.
Codes of Practice applicable to other premises
have been published by other organisations,
principally the Health and Safety Executive (HS)
(G70) and the Chartered Institute of Building
Services Engineers (CIBSE, TM13).
