Intended use

The Vaillant MAG series of gas fired instantaneous
water heaters are state-of-the-art units which have
been constructed in accordance with recognised safety
regulations. Nevertheless, there is still a risk of injury or
death to the operator or others or of damage to the unit
and other property in the event of improper use or use
for which the unit is not intended.
Vaillant MAG series gas fired instantaneous water heat-
ers are not intended for use by persons (including chil-
dren) with physical, sensory or mental impairments or
who have inadequate experience and/or knowledge,
unless they are supervised by a person responsible for
their safety or have been given instructions by this per-
son regarding the operation of the unit.
Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play
with the unit.
The gas fired instantaneous water heaters are specifi-
cally intended for the production of hot water by means
of gas.
Using Vaillant MAG series gas fired instantaneous water
heaters in vehicles is regarded as improper use. Units
that are not classed as vehicles are those that are

Any other use, or use beyond that specified, shall be
considered as improper use. Any direct commercial or
industrial use is also deemed to be improper. The manu-
facturer/supplier is not liable for any claims or damage
resulting from improper use. The user alone bears the
risk.

ments, as well as adherence to the maintenance and
inspection conditions.
