2 PrecaUtions
The operation of any appliance that uses electrical power
demands that a number of fundamental safety precautions
be respected. In particular:
a Never attempt to install the system without using sui-
table personal protection equipment and without fol-
lowing all applicable occupational safety standards.
a Do not touch the storage cylinder when barefoot or
wet if it has any electrical accessories connected to
it.
a Never clean or service the storage cylinder without
first turning the mains power switch OFF to discon-
nect all electrical accessories (if fitted) from the mains
electricity supply.
a Never pull, disconnect, or twist any electrical cables
coming from the appliance even if it is disconnected
from the mains electricity supply.
a Do not expose the storage cylinder to the elements. It
is not designed for use outdoors.
a If the pressure in the solar collector circuit drops, do
not top up with water alone, since this increases the
risk of damage from freezing.
a Do not use connections or safety devices or fittings
(expansion vessels, pipes, insulation) that are not
specifically designed and tested for use in solar wa-
ter heating systems.
a Do not allow children or infirm persons to operate the
system unsupervised.
a Do not dispose of packaging material into the envi-
ronment, or leave it within the reach of children, since
it can become a potential hazard. Dispose of packa-
ging material in compliance with applicable legisla-
tion.
