Safety Safety Information Safety Safety Information Non-permitted use! Incorrect use of the boiler can cause severe injuries and damage! The instructions and information provided in the instructions should be observed! Details on procedure for operation, maintenance and cleaning, as well as troubleshooting for the boiler are included in the individual instructions.
Safety Permitted Uses Permitted uses The boiler should only be operated when it is in full working order. It should be operated in accordance with the instructions, observing safety precautions, and you should ensure you are aware of the potential hazards. Ensure that any faults, which might impact safety are traced and removed immediately.
Safety Design Information Design Information It is generally forbidden to carry modifications to the boiler or to change or deactivate safety equipment. In addition to the operating instructions and the applicable regulations for the country in which the boiler will be operated for installation and operation of the boiler system, all fire, police, and electrical regulations must be observed.
Safety Design Information Rule of thumb: Provide a supply air cross-section of 2 cm per kW of boiler rated output, as per ÖNORM H 5170, but a total cross-section of at least 200 cm 2.3.4 Heating System Installation/ Standards The following standards govern the installation of heating systems: Applicable standards: §...

Safety Safety Devices Safety Devices STOP key In case of overheating, shut down the boiler The pumps continue to run! Always end heating with the STOP key. Never use the main switch. Key switch (for screw Disengages power from the combustion discharge) unit’s drive components.
Safety Safety Devices 2.4.1 Devices for preventing the boiler from overheating Thermal discharge safety device At around 100 °C a valve opens and sends cold water to the safety heat-exchanger to decrease the temperature. Safety Temperature Limiter STL Stops combustion at a max. boiler temperature of 100 °C. The pumps continue to run! As soon as the temperature has gone back down, the STL (1) can be mechanically unlocked.
Safety Other risks Other risks Do not touch the hot surface! Hot parts and the flue pipe can cause serious burns! Protective gloves should generally be worn when working on the boiler. Only operate the boiler using the handles provided for this purpose.
Safety Emergency procedure Emergency procedure 2.7.1 System overheating If the system overheats and the safety devices fail to operate, proceed as follows: Keep all the doors on the boiler closed. Turn off the boiler with the Under no circumstances use the main switch! Open all mixer taps, switch on all pumps.
Operating the System Initial startup Operating the System Initial startup Initial startup should be carried out with an authorised installer or with Fröling customer services. The individual steps of the initial setup procedure are explained in the chapter on “Installers and service technicians” Page 59, 7.4 Initial startup If condensation escapes during the initial heatup phase, this does not indicate a fault.
