vent naked flames
and sparks. Never
switch lights or elec-
trical appliances on
or off.
■Close the gas shut-
off valve.
■Open windows and
doors.
■Evacuate any peo-
ple from the danger
zone.
■Notify your gas or
electricity supply
utility from outside
the building.
■Have the power
supply to the build-
ing shut off from a
safe place (outside
the building).
If you smell flue gas
Danger
Flue gas can lead to
life threatening poi-
soning.
■Shut down the heat-
ing system.
■Ventilate the instal-
lation site.
■Close doors to living
spaces to prevent
flue gases from
spreading.
What to do if water
escapes from the appli-
ance

Danger
If water escapes from
the appliance there is
a risk of scalding.
Never touch hot heat-
ing water.
Condensate
Danger
Contact with conden-
sate can be harmful
to health.
Never let condensate
touch your skin or
eyes and do not
swallow it.
Flue systems and com-
bustion air
Ensure that flue systems
are clear and cannot be
sealed, for instance due to
accumulation of conden-
sate or other external cau-
ses.
Ensure an adequate sup-
ply of combustion air.
Inform system users that
subsequent modifications
to the building characteris-
tics are not permissible
(e.g. cable/pipework rout-
ing, cladding or partitions).
Danger
Leaking or blocked
flue systems, or an
inadequate supply of
combustion air can
cause life threatening
poisoning from car-
bon monoxide in the
flue gas.
Ensure the flue sys-
tem is in good work-
ing order. Vents for
supplying combustion
air must be non-seal-
able.

Extractors
Operating appliances that
exhaust air to the outside
(extractor hoods, extrac-
tors, air conditioning units,
etc.) can create negative
pressure. If the boiler is
operated at the same
time, this can lead to a
reverse flow of flue gas.
Danger
The simultaneous
operation of the
boiler and appliances
that exhausts air to
the outside can result
in life threatening poi-
soning due to a
reverse flow of flue
gas.
Fit an interlock circuit
or take suitable steps
to ensure an ade-
quate supply of com-
bustion air.
