PRECAUTIONS
b
The boiler is delivered in separate crates. Check
that it is complete, undamaged and as ordered as
soon as you receive it. Report any discrepancies or
damage to the dealer who sold it.
b
In Italy, Law n° 46 of the 5th March 1990 requires
that this r RTQ boiler be installed by a qualified
installation company. On completion of the installa-
tion, the installer must issue the owner with a decla-
ration of conformity confirming that the installation
has been completed to the highest standards in
compliance with the instructions provided by r
in this instruction manual, and that it conforms to all
applicable laws and standards.
b
The boiler must only be used for the purpose spe-
cified by rand for which it is designed. The
manufacturer declines all responsibility, contractual
or other, for damage to property or injury to per-
sons or animals caused by improper installation,
adjustment, maintenance or use.
b
If you notice any water leaking from the boiler,
disconnect it immediately from the mains electricity
supply, shut off the water supply, and notify your
local rTechnical Assistance Centre or a quali-
fied heating engineer immediately.
b
Periodically check that operating pressure in the
water circuit is over 1 bar but below the maximum
limit specified for the boiler. If this is not the case,
contact r’s Technical Assistance Service or a
professionally qualified heating engineer.
b
If the boiler is not going to be used for an extended
period of time, contact r’s Technical Assistance
Service or a qualified heating engineer to have it
prepared for shut-down as follows.
- Switch the boiler OFF at the control panel and at the
mains power switch.
- Close the fuel cock and heating circuit water cock.
- Drain the central heating circuit if there is any risk of
freezing.
b
The boiler must be serviced at least once a year.
b
This instruction manual is an integral part of the
boiler. It must be kept safe and must ALWAYS
accompany the boiler, even if it is sold to another
owner or transferred to another user or to another
installation.
If you damage or lose this manual, order a repla-
cement immediately from your local rTechnical
Assistance Centre.
aDo not allow children or infirm persons to operate
this r RTQ boiler unsupervised.
a
Do not operate any electrical devices or equipment,
including switches or domestic appliances, etc., if
you can smell fuel or fumes. If you detect any suspi-
cious smells:
- Ventilate the room by opening all doors and win-
dows.
- Close the fuel shut-off cock.
- Report the fault immediately to the rTechnical
Assistance Service or a professionally qualified
heating engineer.
aDo not touch the boiler while barefoot or wet.
aNever clean or service the boiler without first
disconnecting it from the mains electricity supply
by turning the main power switch and the control
panel switch OFF.
aDo not tamper with or adjust the safety or control
devices without prior authorisation and instruc-
tions from the boiler’s manufacturer.
aNever pull, disconnect, or twist the electrical
cables coming from the boiler even if it is discon-
nected from the mains electricity supply.
aDo not obstruct or restrict the vents in the room
where the boiler is installed. Adequate ventilation
is essential for correct combustion.
aDo not expose the boiler to the elements. Do not
install the boiler outdoors. It is not designed to
work outdoors and is not fitted with the necessary
automatic anti-frost systems to do so.
aDo not switch the boiler off if outdoor temperature
drops below ZERO (risk of freezing).
aDo not store containers of flammable substances
in the room where the boiler is installed.
aDo not dispose of packaging material into the
environment, or leave it within the reach of chil-
dren, since it can become a potential hazard.
Dispose of packaging material in compliance
with applicable legislation.
The operation of any appliance that uses fuel, electrical power and water demands that a number of fundamental safety
precautions be respected.
