Operating personnel as the Contractor, i.e. the qualified professionals, which are entitled to perform the indicated spe-
cialist works.
In this document, the following symbols are used:
DANGER
A danger of high risk persists, which leads to severe injury or death, if this endangering situa-
tion is not avoided.
WARNING
A danger of medium risk persists, which can lead to severe injury or death, if this endangering
situation is not avoided.
CAUTION
A danger of low risk persists, which can lead to minor or moderate injury, if this endangering
situation is not avoided.
ATTENTION
There is a certain risk, which can lead to a malfunction or damage of the related system and all
devices connected with it, if the indicated notifications are not followed.
NOTE
Additional helpful information

Appearance of on-screen display text in this manual
For descriptions of settings performed on the BRUNNER Touch Display, the displayed text is shown as bold
letters.
1.6 For your safety
1.6.1 Dangers and safety precautions
Assembly, installation and maintenance works may be performed only by a qualified Contractor.
•Only such activities should be performed, which are described in this manual.
Electrical shock
Electrical installation works may be performed only by a qualified Contractor.
•Electrical connections are under mains voltage. This can lead to electric shock.
•Please observe all valid regulations.
Risk of injury caused by hot water
High water temperatures can lead to scalding. Small kids or elderly people can be in
danger even at lower temperatures.
•The highest temperature setting of the connected hot water storage tank must not
exceed 65°C.
Avoiding equipment damages and the resulting risks
Sprays, solvents or chlorine-based cleaning agents, paints, adhesives etc. can lead
to equipment damage under some circumstances.
Never try to modify for some reason any part or equipment of the heating system, if
these modifications could impair the operational safety.
The fresh water module can be used only in such situation, if there are no galvanized
pipelines within the home piping system, because the heat exchanger is soldered
with copper.
Risk of freezing
When the BHZ 3.0 is not in use for a longer period (e.g. during holidays) in a room
without heating, there is a risk that the water will freeze in pipelines. Freezing water
can damage the pipelines and cause consequential damages.
•Please instruct the user about the frost protection mode of the heating system.
•The BHZ 3.0 must be installed in rooms with a temperature range between 0 °C
and 40 °C.

DANGER
This device can be used by kids above 8 years and persons with limited physical or
mental ability, or lacking experience and knowledge, only if they are supervised or
have received instructions on safe operation of the device and they are able to under-
stand the resulting dangers. Kids may not play with this device. Cleaning and user-
maintenance cannot be performed by kids without supervision.
1.6.2 Warnings
Warnings in this document are emphasized by pictographs and signal words.
The pictograph and the signal word indicate the type, the source or causes of a certain action. The neces-
sary measures or calls for action are indicated.
The result or purpose is shown as well. These warnings refer to possible misuse of the system, which seems
likely based on our experience. The residual risks are indicated too.
The residual risks remain:
- despite the means for integration of safety during construction,
- despite the safety precautions,
- despite the additional protective measures.
For certain points, there are also given some recommendations and instructions on the application of protec-
tive measures, including personal protective equipment. Special safety instructions and recommendations
are applied for transport, handling and storage. Instructions for safe setup and maintenance include separate
protective measures too.
Structure of warnings
The warnings that precede each assembly step, are shown as follows:
