This installation and operation manual is absolutely necessary to read before
commissioning / use of the storage tank!
In addition, it is part of the scope of delivery, has to be handed over to the user
and should always be kept near the place where the storage tank is located.
IMPORTANT: We accept no liability for any damage caused by failure to observe
these instructions.
The relevant provisions of DIN, DIN EN, DVGW, VDI, TRF and VDE as well as all local
and country-specific regulations, directives and standards for heating and water heating
systems as well as for drinking water installations must absolutely be adhered to.
If any specifications in this manual are in contradiction to the country-specific provisions,
the latter are preferable.
Installation and commissioning as well as maintenance and repairs must be carried out
by authorised specialists (heating contractor / contract installation company).
The high-efficiency insulation of storage tanks of up to 1,500 litres is made of vacuum
panels embedded in a PU foam jacket.
By e.g. pricking, sawing or cutting into the PU foam jacket, the vacuum panels can be
damaged. This must be avoided!
Vacuum panels have a core that is wrapped in foil and made of grey silicate. The silicate
is harmless to health, not ecotoxic and can be disposed of in your household waste. If,
due to external force, silicate may leak, we recommend the use of gloves and a dust mask
despite the silicate being harmless.
The storage tanks may only be installed in frost-protected areas. If there is the risk of
frost, the tank as well as all water-bearing fittings and connection pipes have to be
drained.
The location for installation must be accessible for maintenance and repairs, and it must
be ensured that the ground is level with a sufficient load capacity.
Refer to the manufacturers' documents for distances to firing installation systems.
According to the Firing Installation Order, the minimum distance to e.g. solid fuel boilers
has to be 1 m as sparks might occur.
