2.2 General precautions

2.2.1 Corrosion protection

DO NOT use aerosol sprays, solvents, chlorine-based
cleaning products, paints, adhesives, etc. in the vicinity
of the unit. The use of these items can, under certain
circumstances, also result in corrosion damage to the
flue outlet system.

2.3 Showers

Only thermostatically controlled showers must be used
with aquaPLUS boilers to guard against the flow of
water at too high a temperature and to ensure constant
shower outlet water temperatures.
Warning!
The appliance is equipped with an automatic
protection function against legionella. If the
temperature in the power store falls below a set
temperature for more than 23 hours the boiler
will operate automatically to thermally disinfect
the store.
Important note!
After completion of the thermal disinfection
process there is a possible risk of scalding when
drawing off hot water.
Hot water temperatures of up to 65 °C are
possible immediately from the tap.
