1.1 Preface
Dear customer,
Safe and satisfactory operation of the product
depends, above all, on correct installation. In this user
manual, you can find out all the important installation
steps, information and instructions for this product
beforehand. Please take the time to look through it.
Warranty and guarantee
You should also read the "Conditions for warranty,
guarantee, liability" (see chapter 1.3 "Warranty,
guarantee and liability") carefully. As a rule, a profes-
sional heating technician shall satisfy these conditions.
Nevertheless, inform the technician of our warranty
conditions. All of the requirements we impose are
intended to prevent damage that neither you nor we
wish to occur.
Training the customer
To avoid errors in operation, please explain to your
customer exactly how his new product works and how
it should be operated and maintained.
Remote control of the boiler via the internet
The remote control enables you to operate your ETA
boiler remotely via your own network (VNC Viewer) or
the internet <www.meinETA.at> using a PC,
smartphone or tablet, as though you were standing
right in front of the ETAtouch control system of your
ETA boiler. A LAN cable is required for the connection
from the ETAtouch control system to the internet
modem.
Details for the remote control can be found in the
manual "Communication platform meinETA".
Details for the connection of the LAN cable, see 9.13
"Network connection".
Extended warranty
We grant an extended warranty if the product is com-
missioned by an authorised partner company or by our
own customer service. In this regard, please note the
warranty conditions applicable at the time of purchase.
Service agreement
You can ensure the best care for your heating system
by taking out a service agreement with one of our
certified contractors or our own customer service.

Warranty, guarantee and liability General
1.3 Warranty, guarantee and liability
Requirements
We can only accept liability for the function of our
products if they are correctly installed and operated.
This is only possible if the conditions below are
complied with.
Maximum of 2,000 hours at full load per year
The boiler described in this user manual may only be
used for heating and producing hot water, with no more
than 2,000 full-load hours annually.
Installation in a dry room
For set-up, a dry room is required. In particular, only
condensation dryers may be used as clothes dryers in
the same room.
Observe local building and fire safety regulations
Local building and fire safety regulations must be
observed.
Suitable fuel
The boiler is suitable for use with wood pellets
according to EN ISO 17225-2:2014, quality class A1,
ENplus-A1. Operation with unsuitable fuels, in
particular those containing halogens (chlorine) or high-
slag pellets such as from grain waste, is not permitted.
Ensure supply air is free from aggressive
substances
The air supplied to the boiler must be free from
aggressive substances such as chlorine and fluorine
from solvents, cleaning agents, adhesives and propel-
lants, or ammonia from cleaning agents, to prevent
corrosion of the boiler and chimney.
Permissible water hardness
Water is the intended heat-transfer medium. For
special anti-frost requirements, up to 30% glycol may
be added. Softened water is required for the initial fill-
up of the heating system and for refilling after repairs.
Addition of hard water should be minimised to limit
limescale build-up in the boiler.
In order to protect the boiler from calcification, the
water hardness of the heating water must be
taken into account. Observe the indications outlined in
ÖNORM H 5195-1. Details can be found in chapter 7.3
"Water hardness".
pH value between 8 and 9
The pH value of water used to fill the heating system
must be between 8 and 9.
Use a sufficient number of shut-off valves
Set enough shut-off valves to avoid bleeding large
amounts of water during repairs. Any leaks in the
system must be repaired at once.
Install safety valve and thermal relief valve
A safety valve (triggered at 3 bar) as protection against
excess pressure and a thermal relief valve (triggered
at 97 °C) to protect against overheating must be
installed by the contractor.
Provide a sufficiently large expansion tank or a
pressure maintaining device
To prevent air from being drawn in while the system is
cooling, the heating system professional must provide
a sufficiently large expansion tank or a pressure
maintaining device.
Open expansion tanks must not be used.
Sufficient power
Operation at lower power than the lowest power
specified on the type plate is not permitted.
Expanding the control system
Only components provided by us may be used for
expanding the control system, unless these are
generally available standard devices, such as thermo-
stats.
Regularly perform cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning and maintaining the product is essential. The
required steps and intervals are either contained in this
documentation or included as a separate document.
Repairs
Repairs are only permitted using spare parts provided
by us. The only exceptions are common standardised
parts such as electrical fuses or fastening materials, as
long as they possess the required features and do not
restrict the functionality of the system.
Proper installation
The installing contractor is liable for proper installation
according to the corresponding installation instructions
and the relevant rules and safety regulations. If you as
customer have installed the heating system partly or
entirely without relevant training and in particular
without up-to-date practical experience, without having

General Warranty, guarantee and liability

the installation checked by a trained and responsible
expert, we exclude defects in our delivery and conse-
quential damages resulting from this cause from our
warranty, guarantee and liability.
Repair of defects
For repairs of defects carried out by the customer or by
a third party, ETA shall only bear the costs or remain
obligated by warranty if this work was approved in
writing in advance by the customer service of ETA
Heiztechnik GmbH.
No tampering with boiler safety devices
Boiler safety devices such as those mentioned below
must not be tampered with: Temperature monitoring
and control devices, safety temperature limiters, safety
valves and thermal discharge valves.
Potential equalization is needed for the boiler
The boiler must be connected to the potential equaliza-
tion of the boiler room or the building. Country-specific
regulations must be observed.
Surface corrosion
Surface corrosion on the inside of the precipitator is no
cause for concern. It does not impair the function.
Surface corrosion does not entitle to warranty or
guarantee claims.

6 Maintenance area to be kept clear
For maintenance on the boiler, an area which is to be kept clear is required on the side of the boiler on which
the pellet module is mounted. No expansion tanks or other devices may be installed within the maintenance
area.

Technical data

The flue gas connection on the boiler does not yet give any indication of the required chimney diameter.
Information on the required chimney diameter can be found in the installation instructions for the boiler in the
Chimney chapter.
