Commissioning must be undertaken by the system
installer or a specialist authorised by the installer.
Also observe the operating instructions of the connec-
ted components.
When the system is cold, the appropriate system filling
pressure must be preset by your contractor depending
on the collector type.
!Please note
To prevent damage to the system and the heat
transfer medium,
close the air vent valves after ventilation. This
will prevent the escape of vapour and the
ingress of airborne oxygen.
!Please note
Excess temperatures can result in damage to
the solar thermal system.
Therefore never switch off the solar thermal sys-
tem in summer, e.g. during a holiday.
Insurance
Viessmann solar collectors are tested for impact resist-
ance, for example against hailstones, to EN 12975-2
and EN ISO 9806.
Nevertheless we recommend that the user insures
against extreme weather conditions and includes the
collectors on their buildings insurance. Damage due to
these conditions is excluded from our warranty.

Please note the service instructions supplied in
connection with cleaning and maintenance work.
■Check the pressure gauge regularly.
■Have leaking pipes and leaks in the solar thermal
system repaired immediately.
■Every 6 months, check the operating pressure, quiet
running of the circulation pumps, flow and return
temperatures and switching functions.
■We recommend checking the heat transfer medium
regularly (frost protection level and pH value).
Service instructions
■Remove dirt and snow from the collectors whenever
snow is more than 50 cm deep. Increased dirt lowers
the efficiency of the solar thermal system.
■Have your solar thermal system serviced regularly to
ensure trouble-free, energy saving and environmen-
tally responsible operation. For this, it is recommen-
ded that you take out an inspection and maintenance
contract with your local contractor.
Faults
Observe the operating instructions of the connected
components.
Contact your local contractor if you are unable to trou-
bleshoot the system.

DE: We recommend using the disposal system organ-
ised by Viessmann. Operating fluids (e.g. heat
