1.2 Safety instructions for users
!
WARNINGS
!
The appliance may be used by children older than 8 years old, elderly persons and persons with
physical, sensory or mental disabilities or lacking experience and knowledge, if they are under
supervision or taught about safe use of the appliance and if they are aware of the potential
dangers.
Children shall not play with the appliance.
Children shall not clean or perform maintenance on the appliance without supervision.
!
Installation shall be carried out in accordance with the valid regulations and according to the
instructions of the manufacturer and by qualified staff.
!
In a closed, pressurised system of installation, it is obligatory to install a safety valve on the sys-
tem with a rated pressure of max. 0.3 MPa (3 bar) (see the label), which prevents the elevation
of pressure in the buffer by more than 0.1 MPa (1 bar) above the rated pressure.
!
The outlet of the safety valve shall be installed facing downwards and in a non-freezing area.
!
To ensure proper functioning of the safety valve, the user shall perform regular controls
to remove limescale and make sure the safety valve is not blocked.
Do not install a stop valve between the buffer and the safety valve, because it will impair the
pressure protection of the buffer!
!
If the system has to be switched off, please drain any water from the buffer to prevent freezing.
Please do not try to fix any defects of the buffer on your own. Call the nearest authorized ser-
vice provider.
